Secrets Of My Past

The unclear past

Does the perfect life really exist? A life without troubles or pain? No worries or guilt? All smiles and laughs without a tear in sight. Well, I think a perfect life is nothing but crap. I had a great life, it wasn't perfect but it was everything. I had a mother who cared and loved me, the best of friends and huge family around me that was always there for me.

I admit there were tears, broken hearts, harsh words and non stop arguments at would lead to even more problems but these things were and are important in every relationship. Yes they inflicted dreadful pain and hurt but these things brought us even closer.

When I would cry there was always someone to wipe my tears. When I was heart broken the nearest person to me would help whichever way they could. When I argued with someone, I would clear my chest and let it all out for the other to hear. That's way better than carrying the weight of your feeling around. It is through such acts that our love grows even more and stronger and that's why imperfections are important. So maybe perfection isn't as great as it seems after all. Maybe it really is crap. It's seriously just crap!

My life was the greatest, even with the whole lot of imperfections. These problems made me rely on my family and friends and they did the same. It wasn't rosy but it sure was a great ride nonetheless. Who wants an easy life anyway? The people around right now are all there with you because of this complicated life you are living. So, without it you'd probably be without them and imagine what life would be like without the closest people around you? I hoped it would always be like this but I guess fate had other plans.

"Max! Max!.... Wake up! "

"W... w... what??" I could barely open my eyes.

"Max... Now!! we don't have time"

"What's happening?? "I closed my eyes and the darkness took over.

Alarm deeps

"Max!... Wake up! Don't want to be late for school " my mom shouted as she walked past my room

My name is Max hunter. I'm a girl... Yes you heard right... I'm a girl. I live in a small town called Quake. Its really cold here. Anyway you may be wondering why the hell I have a name perfect for a boy... Well I don't know either all I know is that my dad named me. So... My life is really complicated... I wake up eat, sleep, surf the internet and.... well that's practically it.... See complicated.

"Max!!!!... Now.. Don't make me come back there! " irritation straining each word as she spoke.
"I'm up ma!!... I'll be down in a bit". I hurriedly took a shower and got ready. Picking what to wear was never really a problem. It was always cold so jeans and hoodies always did the trick.

I ran as fast as I could down stairs and took a sit on the kitchen stool. Ma was busy making us breakfast. Looking at her work made me feel so proud of her. All my life it has just been Ma and I. She raised me all on her own. She worked so much just to put food on the table. Taking me to the best schools... Buying me clothes and always making sure she had time for me.

"You're staring again" I broke away from my thoughts and looked away.

"What are you thinking about? " Ma asked with great concern.

"Ma I love you" I said to her with a shy smile

"Aww baby come here" she said with open arms. I ran to her and hugged her really tight, never wanting to let go.

"Baby I love you so much.... Now eat your breakfast and go to school."

Quake, being a really small town, only has a few schools. Like most kids I go to Quake high. It's beautiful here especially during this time of the year. A carpet of snow covering everything. A school filled with green loans, small ponds and flower bushes was now covered in white. I actually liked this time of the year...
