The Boy in the Leather Jacket (BxB)

Chapter 1

Shmuel's P.O.V.

It's been five years since the Holocaust ended and I've missed my friend Bruno terribly.

I try not to think about him much though, I have made new friends since I'm back in school.

Its almost April and my birthday is coming up soon. I still remember that Bruno and I share a birthday.

When the Holocaust was over, everyone got to go home. My Papa and my sister didn't make it, just me and my mum. Me and her moved back into our old house in Poland.

I'm still in school now, I'm glad its almost over, today wasn't the best day for me, to much tests and studying you know all the boring stuff teachers make us do.

Finally the bell rang and I got to go home. When I walked in my house my mum was putting everything into boxes.

"Mum what's going on?"

"We're moving"

"Where and why"

"We're moving because yesterday  night a man called me and asked me if I'd work for him."

"Okay and where?"

"Berlin"

"But I don't want to go"

"I don't care Shmuel, we need this"

"How do we need this"

"We need to get a new fresh start, I need out of this town and you do to."

"What about my friends"

"You're going to have to say your goodbyes"

"But I don't wa-"

"Shmuel that's enough, now go to your room and pack the rest of your things, we are leaving tomorrow morning"

I went upstairs and sat on my bed. I didn't want to go and leave my friends. I don't even like Berlin, yeah it's a nice place but no one is nice there. I know my mum said I could say goodbye to my friends but I kind of don't want, well the only person I want to say goodbye to is my friend name Ace, he wasn't like any of my other friends he was more nice and caring. I'm going to sneaking out to see him.

It's a good thing that he doesn't live far. After about 5 minutes I was at his house. I had to climb up to his window because his parents don't like me for some reason.

I was finally to his window and knocked on it. I heard him getting up and struggling to open it.

"Hey dude" he said

"Hi" I said with an upset face.

"What's wrong"

"Nothing"

"Dude I know your lying" 

"I am not" I tell him. 

"I've known your ass for about 5 years, I know you better than you know yourself." 

"Okay fine there is something wrong"

"Tell me"

"I'm moving"

"Where?"

"Berlin"

"Do you have to go"

"Yeah but I don't want to"

"Did you tell Dylan and Miles"

"No but can you please"

"Yeah what do you want me to say"

"Just tell them I said good bye and that I'll miss them"

"Alright but why did you just say bye to me?"

"Because your much nicer than them"
"I am?" He said and I could see the blush on his cheeks.

"Yeah" I said back and just smiled.

Ace is a really good friend to have. I'm glad I ment him. But I'm sad that I have to leave him. This is how I felt with Bruno when he had to leave, Bruno was a really good friend probably better than Ace just saying. Bruno was there for me at the worse time of my life and he made me happy everytime I got to see him at the fence.

"Hey I'm gonna miss you" he said which made me stop thinking.

"Same here"

I looked at the clock and told him I have to go, I gave him a hug and left.

Tomorrow is going to be so fun.
