Abnormal life

2. Ajax

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" The alarm sounded as I finally arose out of bed. I scooted over to the edge of the bed and literally sat there for 5 minutes, staring into space. Sometimes I think about what life would be like if I would've never came out as gay to my father. I'd still be living the "normal life" of a straight person. Although the outcome of me coming out was horrible, it's all worth it, because I can finally live my life peacefully. Well, that is once my father is gone....

"Why are you just staring off into space?" My mom said appearing in the door frame with a questioning expression. "Sorry I was just thinking about some things." I said, saddening my tone. Her face instantly dropped into a frown saying, "Are you thinking about your father?" She said walking over and sitting beside me. " Yes. Well kind of. What if I'm not prepared in time, for his return?" I said thinking of what could happen to the both of us if I wasn't strong enough. "You'll never know if your ready to face him, until the time has come. So it is my job to train you to the best of my ability, so you can defeat your father and save yourself from him. As we know, I am getting old." She said getting and holding her back like she has an ache. "You wasn't old when you doing kicks and jumps last night when we sparred." I said in a smart tone. She tried to grab me up but I quickly dash passed her into the bathroom.

          After I finished what I needed to do in there, I go down stairs into the kitchen to see my mom cooking bacon and eggs on the stove. "Good morning." She said pausing her cooking for a second. "Morning." I mumbled taking a silent at the island with a slight slouch. "How'd you sleep?" She said taking the last bit of eggs off the pan and putting on a plate. "Ok. I keep on dreaming about when he's gonna show up. I mean he did say he was going to show up when I turn 18.....

Flashback

      We had about three hours left before arriving to Los Angeles, when we got a text message in a group chat from my father......."YOU BETTER BE READY AJAX. IM COMING FOR YOU AFTER YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY." It  said in all caps, letting me know that he's yelling....

Present

        ...and now that I am 17, I have about 8 months before my 18th and I just want to be ready." I said. "You will be ready and I can promise that." She said with assurance in her voice. "I hope so." I said gaining a little bit of confidence in my ability. "Alright, go on to school sweetie." she said grabbing my plate my while I head towards the door. "Bye!" I yelled to her as I closed the door and headed to my 2011 Malibu Chevrolet. I get in and start the car and noticed that I'm close to being on E. "To the gas station I go." I mumbled to myself as I backed out the driveway.....

   "Hi, can I get 25 on pump 4" I said to the cashier who just looked at me and started punching in numbers on the screen. Rude much? "Here's your receipt." He said when the receipt finished printing out and handed it to me. "Thank y—" I was interrupted by this body that was way bigger and wider than me, knocking me down. I looked up to the figure that knocked me down and I froze.
