Stories I made when I was a Kid

September 11th, 2001. (Rewritten)

Chapter 1...
Boom! Crash! Airplanes were everywhere! I was wounded, limping everywhere I went. I heard a voice.
"Leon! Help me!" Lilly screamed.
Then another...
Leon! I'm stuck!" Jake shrieked.
I had to make a decision. These weird looking towers were about to collapse!
"Leon, Leon, Leon!" I kept on hearing.
But  then something hit me and I was wide awake.
    "Ha, ha! You should've seen your face! It was hilarious!" Lilly cried.
    "That Face looked a bit terrifying, what was going on?" Jake asked.
I just fell back on my pillow starting to fall asleep again. But then I realized that my journal was in the middle of the room!
    "Ok you guys got me but I'm a bit busy right now so, out, out, out," I said.
"But your mom made pancakes and she wanted you up," Jake said.
"Ugh, fine I'll be down in a minute," I said. And they both scrambled out of my door.
"Finally, peace and quiet." I said in relief, "Ok let's add something to my journal..."
Day 25, September 9, 2001
My birthday is in two days and I'm excited. I wonder what my future will hold me... Anyway, I might go somewhere for my birthday. I can't wait. uehwlakndsauerehdsa...
I closed my notebook and hid it under my bed.
    "Ugh, I'm too tired to go out..." I moaned.
I opened my door and it creaked. Our house Isn't as perfect I mean, It's cool looking but most of our hinges and oven are old. When dad was about to leave for the military, he opened the front door and the entire thing fell off! It was too funny for me to watch and I turned purple!
    "These are some delicious pancakes Mrs. Andrews!" Jake muffled, and what was disgusting was he was stuffing his face with pancakes and some were falling out all wet and soggy.
    "It would be nice if you chewed with your mouth closed Jake," Lilly said.
I just smirked and got to my seat all tired and I almost fell down.
"Thank you for the pancakes," Lilly said.
"Oh, Lilly, your mother called saying your father and mother are on a vacation. So I can take care of you until they get back." Mom said.
"Oh, ok, thats fine with me." She replied.
Jake went over to the sink and rinsed his plate. Then he went over to the couch and turned on the T.V. But a movie about aliens was on and he just turned it off and turned on the radio. I was just about to help myself with a few pancakes but I almost face planted into my plate. But I got up just in time. Then I was going to pour some syrup, but some got on my leg. Mom was reading the newspaper and then she set it down. Lilly picked it up and I was reading it with her.
The New York Times
    Topic Of the Day
    The Creston Couple was about to go get a meal at Mcdonalds at 7:36 AM.
    But they lost control of the car and ended up in a ditch, for some reason    
this killed them with a head concussion and brain damage. They were
     rushed to the hospital and once they were put in their beds, they died...
Chapter 2...
    After Mom heard the news, she went to Jake to comfort him. Lilly put down the paper and began eating again. After I was done, Mom left and went to wash the dishes. Jake was crying, and I was trying to make him laugh. But I guess sometimes people can't laugh when they're like this. So I just hugged him
    "It will be alright. Just wait and see." I said.
I just trudged to my room and sat down on my bed. Then I turned on my console and started playing Super Mario Bros.

5 hours later...
"Leon! Lunch time!" Lilly yelled. She just skipped right down the hall and turned off my console.
"What was that for? I haven't even saved yet!" I said.
She just pointed out the door and I went that direction then she followed me out.
    "Hi Leon, How was your game of Super Mario?" Jake said, emotionless.
    "Wait, how did you-" I stopped. Looking how dry his eyes were from crying and I just sat down.
    "So, uh how's your day?" I asked.
    "Lilly, come here please," Mom said.
Lilly obeyed and went. I followed.
    "Leon, What are you doing? Your mom only called me." She said.
    "Fine, fine, I'll go." I replied. But I hid behind the corner.
    "Your mother and father are on vacation. Do you want me to go drive you to your house to get some clothes?" Mom asked. Lilly nodded.
    I ran to the couch and watch some T.V. with Jake. Pretending I didn't go anywhere.
    "Guys, we're going to go to Lilly's house to go get a few outfits for her." Mom said.
    "I already- I mean, ok," I replied. Then they got in the car and headed towards Main Street. I ran to my room to get my journal. I didn't know what to write that wouldn't really scare my child once I'm an adult.
    "Uh... what the heck? Whats all this?
Day 25, September 9, 2001
My birthday is in two days and I'm excited. I wonder what my future will hold me... Anyway, I might go somewhere for my birthday. I can't wait. uehwlakndsauerehdsa...

"Was I that tired?" I questioned myself. I just erased all the stuff that didn't make sense. Then I didn't write in it at all. there was no reason if it was going to terrify my kid...
"Do you ever wonder why we have thunder when it rains?" Jake asked. I didn't know what he was talking about. "Uh... No...?" I replied.
"Well, the reason why it thunders is because someone around the world is having a fight, and someone is trying to prevent it getting out of hand..." he answered.
    It suddenly starts pouring and then thundering over and over again.
    "How did that happen?" I asked.
Mom got home and Lilly was next to her. They were soaking wet then another boom filled the city. Jake jumped and ran away from the couch.
 
"Guys I got some Mcdonalds on the way back." Mom said.
"Food? Hungry!" Jake came racing down the hall, grabbed the two bags and grabbed a quarter pounder. I stared in shock while he was making a mess all over the counter. It was already 7:29 P.M. so I just went to bed.
Chapter 3
There was really nothing special about today but all I did today was write in my journal. So this is what I said.
    Day 26 September 10, 2001
    My birthday is tomorrow, oh and if you have friends that ask weird questions, just don't answer them. I hope your birthday will be special to you too. Jake's parents died, the kid I mentioned in the first Day.  So please if you have a friend like that then please comfort him or her. It would mean a lot to them. Anyway this is the time I won't write until the 12 of September.
I hope nobody finds that, especially Jake... I was alone once I got out of my room I found a note on the fridge saying-
" Honey, we left to go get something for you trust me you'll enjoy being there alone for a while. and we'll be back soon, Love Mommy"
"Seriously, you had to write a note that said Mommy?! I am about 12 years old," I said to myself.
But then in 5 minutes of me staring at the note, the phone rang.
    "Uh, hello?" I asked.
    "Leon? Is that you?!" the person yelled.
    "Wait, you know me?" I asked.
    "You were a great son when I was around." He replied.
    "Dad! Oh my gosh! I haven't talked to you in years!" I screamed with delight.
    "So how is life going at home?" Dad asked.
    "Not so well," I replied. I told him everything that happened the past few days.
    "Wow, stressful. Anyway how is that journal of yours doing?" he replied.
    "It's going great! it has been 26 days since you've given it to me." But then I heard a beeping noise on the other line.
    "Oh, my time is up gotta go!" then he hung up.
    "I can't believe I finally got to talk to my dad," I said.
I just ran into my room texted mom and started playing the Nintendo.
45 minutes later...

"We're back Leon! Leon?" Mom said.
I just kept on writing in my journal in the living room.
"Leon, we got a new journal for you," Lilly said.
"Ok, just set it on my bed." I replied.
I went to my room, grabbed the notebook from her and just tossed it on my dresser. I still didn't want to tell mom about me talking to dad. So I just kept my mouth shut. I looked at the book on my dresser. I didn't feel like writing so I just got ready for bed.
Chapter 4...The scary day...
September 11...
    "Happy birthday, to you!" Mom, Lilly, and Jake said. Jake didn't look as sad as he did the past few days.
I was happy he wasn't upset about the "accident."
"Anyway, when you were asleep, we got gifts for you!" Mom said.
"Wow a new game? Super Mario Bros. 3?! You guys are the best!" I said. But then there was a rumbling sound.
    "What was that?" Mom asked.
    "Uh, I'm a bit freaked out... What is going on." Jake shouted.
We all looked out the window, we saw planes heading towards the tower. First of all, why would planes be so low in New York.
Then parts of the building were flying toward our neighborhood!
"Guys, we gotta go now!" Lilly yelled.
We all ran to the car, but then a window slashed into the windshield. 
    "Help me get this thing out!" Mom shouted. We all tried but it wouldn't budge.
    "Mom, we have that back up car in the garage," I said.
She looked at me and then the garage. We all ran towards the door to open it and entered the car.
"Keys, I always leave keys in the car, help me find them!" Mom yelled. We were searching the car like a bunch of rats looking for food.
Stone from the building crushed our living room.
"No internet, no life!" Jake yelled.
"Mom, found the keys! And what was the point of that comment?" I yelled.
"No reason.." Jake replied.
She put it in the ignition and drove off. She was driving towards the danger, Lilly was in the front looking scared as a mouse, Jake was at the very back crying. I was in the middle emotionless, just sitting there.
"Mrs. Andrews, it would be great if we could turn around and leave New York and forget all about this," Lilly said, frighten.
"Uh, no, because Uncle Matt is in there!" Mom yelled.
More building parts were falling and Mom was trying to dodge them. She dodged a few but then we crashed...

A Few Hours Later...
    "Ow... Lilly, Jake?" I yelled.
    "Leon help I'm about to get crushed!" Jake yelled.
    "Leon! I can't get up!" Lilly screamed.
Lilly was bruised so bad, she was hardly able to move. And Jake was about to get crushed by stone! I mean, I can leave Lilly there and save Jake then I could get to Lilly, so that's what I did. But my arm was dislocated so it was hard getting Jake out with one arm, Jake grabbed Lilly's but we all fell down, There was smoke and gasoline everywhere. We were slowly walking away from the building but then we fell face first to the concrete floor again. I was imagining mom picking me up after the fall but when my arm reached for her she vanished. I was alone in the dark...
    "Leon, Leon!" Someone yelled.
I tried to open my eyes, but they just slid right shut.
    "Leon!" it yelled again
I was finally able to open my eyes after about twelve tries.
    "Wh- What? Wh- Who are you?" I said weakly.
    "It's me, Uncle Matt..." he replied.
All he did was put us three in his van and drove away. When we suddenly stopped we were at the hospital. Then he carried all three of us, which was pretty impressive, but my arm was killing me! The doctor said it wasn't very important, so Matt just popped it back into place!
   
"Ow! They make seem like it doesn't hurt at all in movies!" I yelled. All Lilly needed was some whitish ointment on her cuts and bruises. Jake had cut his head open, he didn't know yet... but it wasn't severe. I think...
A Day Later...
Day 27, September 12, 2001
Well we all just almost DIED from a collapse. But we all live and we're fine. Hopefully none of these disasters will happen to you...
"Where are we going to go now???" Jake asked.
"We can go to my house, my parents just came back!" Lilly said.
"Ok..." I said.
Hopefully mom, you made it...
A Few Years Later...
Day 3,568, August 26, 2016
Well I am going to go bowling, this is the last time I'll write to you... Hopefully, you will be just fine...
"Leon! We're going to leave," Jake said.
"Oh, Jake you're paying," Lilly laughed.
"Wait, why me???" Jake shouted.
The END
Or is it...?
