Chapter 1
The night is still, a little to still if I might add.
Not one single light is glowing.
I can see animals that stand there like statues. Yet it feels as if I’m in a big city: Chicago-no, New York-not even, Las Vegas not-quite. Not really any city in particular.
But it does feel like it.
I imagine cars rushing by, chitter chatter, police sirens, and bright night city lights. It’s all here. At least that’s what I imagine.
I just wish I could be free.
If you ask anybody from my little home town in Illinois, I bet you a hundred dollars they’ll all describe me as a no good-for-nothing kid who will never leave. And if I did leave it would probably be to some kind of faraway prison.
They’re all wrong; I haven’t stolen one thing in my whole life. It might just be my features. I have mysterious, hazel eyes that swallow you when you look at them, pitch black hair, and a clean haircut.
Then there’s my smile. My mom always said that a smile seals the deal. She said that my smile was so large and handsome that it could seal any deal.
Any deal.
I’m not sure if it’s true for every situation; but when my mother had her last moments, all I did was smile. It sealed the deal that I loved her. I will always love her.
But she is gone, and I can’t change that even though I would like to.
I live with my father now. He tries to do anything and everything he can to make me happy. He tries to give me many gifts. I keep telling him that we don’t have the money, but he keeps saying that he just wants me to be happy. He doesn’t see that what makes me happy is just having him here and alive.
A/N- This is my first story and I have worked really hard on it. This is a short chapter, just to like sample it. Tell me what you think. Hope you like it!
