Downhill

      Dylan's Pov

   I remember it like it was yesterday, blood on the floor, my dad just lying there he had been murdered and I was there just standing horrified , the cops were everywhere and they were just asking questions just when I started to go deep in my thoughts shiela calls ''Dylan come down your food is getting cold" Sheila's my foster mum she's okay but my foster dad is crazy but I didn't have many options cos no one wants to adopt the son of a murder victim. I was just 12 when it all happened and after 5 years of isolation I finally come back to the town my father was murdered mehn coming back to this place really brings back some old memories but I can't do anything about it now cos I'm still not up to the age to be on my own but next year I'll be turning 18 and by then I'll have saved enough money to leave this crappy town. '' mehn I've been thinking so much I forgot I have to go to work today" I quickly put on my jeans and a hoddie and quickly rushed downstairs. Sheila had called in some favours from the guy that owns the local drycleaners for a job. I know it's not the best place but at least I get paid and I'll be able to save enough to leave this crappy place next year. I quickly ate my breakfast rushed out. I looked at my watch and it was 7:30am ''Shit I'm so late im meant to be there by 7:00am mehn I'm so fucked" I quickly took my bike and rushed to the local drycleaners. ''Finally here" I said to myself, I walked into the old building and walked towards the receptionist she informed the manager that I was around and I was informed to wait till he was less busy. I waited at the reception for about ten minutes, I rili started getting tired of waiting then suddenly a tall dark man came out from a small room he walked towards me and said '' You must be Dylan I'm Jackson , I manage and own this place , Sheila told me you were coming today. Okay lemme just go straight to the point you're going to all deliveries here so here's your uniform and if you have any problems just inform me and that will be all for today" I just nodded to every single word he said cos I really need the money and I don't want to mess this up. The day was finally over and it was not so bad on my way back home I saw this girl seems like she was sad cos she was all by herself and it was kinda late.

    I hate this town so much. mehn I can't believe that Jack would allow me to go home by myself dang it's really late and my feet hurts.Sometimes I wonder why I put up with his shit ''but when do I get the chance to tell him that........ '' just when I wanted to think about it again I see a bike and I think it stopped thank God maybe I could hitch a ride home cos if I continue trekking I'm not going to get home now. The stranger walks up to me I'll admit I'm scared but I don't have a choice I can't stay here its dangerous. The stranger gets closer and he says ''hey you want a ride it's not safe for you to be here by this time alone." I just stare at him for a while cos I was scared cos I didn't know the guy and most of the guys in the this town are creeps but I didn't have a choice so I said yes and we walked to his bike , he gave me a helmet to wear then he drove off. We finally got to my house and I came down he looked at me and smiled '' The name's dylan by the way " he's really cute I said to myself but I couldn't be thinking about cute boys now cos I had bigger problems at hand. So I just kept a straight face and said ''thanks for the ride... bye" and I walked into my house and went straight to my room and slept off

     The next morning I felt like shit. I didn't want to think about all the stuffs that went down last night. It really made me wonder about some stuffs that has gone on in my life, I've really made some bad choices but I wonder who the guy was that gave me a lift something about him seems comforting hmmm but I can't be thinking about him now I have a lot on my mind till thinking of a good chance to tell Jack.... ''Omg look at the time I'm so fucking late" I quickly dressed up and left the house. I hated going to the local high school, I always thought my real dreams were in the urban life but thank God it's my last year here I'll be going to college next year. I quickly took my bag and walked to school. At school it was always horrible I felt like I had to live a fake life just when I'm about to enter into the school compound I see Jack's car coming my way I try to pretend like I didn't see him. But he calls out ''hey babe, whats going on I tried calling you yesterday to check on you" he really expects me to believe he made an effort to check how I was doing I can't believe this dude ''wtf!? Jack do you really expect me to believe that you care you let me walk home and it was really late and I expected you to say you're sorry" he tries to defend himself ''come on babe you know I didn't mean too ok I'm sorry babe, you know I would never hurt you" looking at him I really wanted to believe him but that's what he does every time and then he apologises or gives me excuses and I was tired of all that shit in my life do before he could say anything else I walked out on him I didn't want to give him the opportunity to hurt me again. In class I couldn't listen and I was also tired of thinking too ''Tanya Tanya Tanya" I was so deep in thought that I couldn't hear my best friend call me '' Yh Erica sorry my mind wasn't here was thinking about something"
