Never Forget Where You Come From | Shane Harte

Blackout [3]

School is starting to get worse and worse by the day.

This morning I went into the library to read my book and once the teacher left the room the punching began.

I can't say anything or they'll hurt me even more.

I know it's stupid but you don't understand I don't have a choice!

I seriously only feel like I have 2 things left to live for my sister and my music.

Music has helped me get through any tough times, and I pretty much bring my guitar everywhere apart from school, I'm scared they'll break it or smash then smash me as well.

If they break it my family can't afford one! They just don't understand what they're doing to me! I used to be able to go to the park or the skating rink, now I can't leave the house alone.

I just want to get on with my life, but I can't.

[The Next Morning]

I played sick to stay off school today which is great because my parents work so I can go out somewhere without the worry of the jocks!

I went to the ice rink to get some time to practice shooting some pucks I haven't reallly played in a long time.

I went home after that and just strummed on my guitar for a while.

But I have to admit I do feel lonely sometimes.

[2 Months Later]

Beep Beep is all I heard as I opened my eyes, I looked over and saw Cora she smiled

"Your finally awake!" She exclaimed

There's was lots of wires around me? Huh? Wait I was in a hospital...

What happened?

Shane's Flashback:

I was walking home from school when suddenly I felt someone tugging on my bag?

"Not so fast Shaney boy" it was Kingston.

"What do you want now!" I asked loudly

"Aye! Watch your mouth!" He demanded

"Your going to pay for all of this ya know that?" I said to him sternly

"Now, Now Shaney that's not the way you should've speaking to someone like me is it?"

I didn't answer

"Strip him of his gear" his guys starting searching my pockets

I got so irritated I punched one in the nose, sadly Kingston saw

"YOU LITTLE MOTHA...." he smacked his fist against my cheek.

End of Flashback.

"SHANE!" Cora shouted snapping me out of my thoughts

"It was Kingston!" I said out of nowhere

"We need to tell the police this, don't worry Shaney he'll pay for this!" She said angered
