Rivals || Grayson, Ethan, Anthony

chapter 3

You see Grayson, Ethan,(media)and I had great childhoods. Our parents were best friends. So we saw each other 24/7. Everything was great. Sure there was the simple problems that everyone has but we were well off. Neither my family nor his was rich but we had enough to supply what we need and most of what we want. We had food on our tables every night. We had a roof over our heads. Beds to sleep in. And so much extra stuff that we didn't really need but got because we could. I was such a fortunate kid and so we're they. And we took it for granted. Looking back at it we really took it for granted. And so when it all fell apart we all took it really hard. Freshman year, about 2 weeks into the school year both of our parents my mom and dad and their mom and dad were all driving for a night out together(they did this often) and a drunk driver ran a light and hit them and none of them made it. We were all destroyed. Hell still are. But I pushed the boys away. I stopped hanging out with them. I stopped talking to them completely. They still lived in the same place and so did I but with out our parents. They lived with their 20 year old sister and I lived with my 23 year old brother. Freshman year flipped our lives for the worst. I was depressed. I tried to kill myself. I was bullied at school and I was sick of it. Then one day I met Jake. Jake took me in. You see he was the leader of the South Wood Boys (SWB) it was one of the top gangs in the city. He helped me. He took me in and now I work for him. And I'm happy with it to. Everyone fears me. I'm Jake's right-hand. He is the only one over me. I'm basically in charge. When people at school started realizing me changing and found out I became feared by everyone. When I walked down the hall everyone moved out of the way. I mean they were not scared because I was a bully. But I was part of a gang and people feared me for that. And for some odd reason that made me proud and I honestly didn't care.
