Closer to Hope

Chapter 1

I find myself up on the roof again, staring up at the beautiful sky. The world is so peaceful at this time, I can hear the early birds singing, and I can see the sun brightening the bottom of the sky. This is the time I can finally breathe and escape from all of the bull shit in my life.

After a while of thinking and staring up at the sky I stand up, shiver wondering how did it get so cold and walk to the edge of the roof and look down, I take a deep breath preparing myself for the day to come. I crawl down the side of the house and walk to the door and let myself in. The lights are still shut off and the house is quiet, I tiptoe to my room and then begin getting ready. I walk over to my dresser and pull out some black skinny jeans and a Kuza t-shirt. I grab my makeup bag and head to my bathroom and do my makeup. Proud with the outcome I go and fetch my Motionless in White hoodie and put it on. I go back into the bath room and grab a brush, I brush my hair to one side exposing my shaved head. I then tease and hair spray the long parts of my hair to make it bigger. Happy with my appearance I walk out of the bathroom and grab my long board and quietly make my way out of the house.

I set my board down on the ground and place my foot on it and push off of the ground with the other, and I soon see the houses and building floating by me and my hair flying behind me. I start to slow down when I see the edge of town in the distance. I smile and halt to a stop when I get to the start of the forest. I pick up my board and walk into the forest, and search for the bandanna that was left as a marker to find my favorite part of the forest.

I go to grab my phone but realize I left it in the bathroom, but I shrug it off knowing that no one is going to be up to call me anytime soon. I walk passed the bandanna and reach my hand out to move aside the door of ferns and step passed them into my little fantasy room. Just passed the ferns laid the most beautiful scenery. In the middle of everything was a small pond with lily pads and at the edge of the pond were beautiful wild flowers. It seemed like a scene straight out of a dream. A dream that I could live for real almost any time that I pleased, it truly was a wonderful place. I look around and smile taking everything in.

Just as I go to sit down I hear voices in the distance and sigh, standing back up. "Hey what do you think the bandannas for?" I hear a voice ask, shit I think they are going to come here and mess with this beautiful place. "I don't know man, let's go check it out!" I hear the voices getting closer along with footsteps. I take a deep breath, grab my board, and find a way through the trees hoping that those ass holes don't harm anything.
