It was about midnight when I decided to throw on my shoes and go down to the rust old bridge at the end on town. I sit on the railing and lean my elbow on my knee resting my head in my palm. I let out a quiet sigh as I recall the events from earlier.
I let a few tears fall as I hear my father's voice screaming at me.
Disgrace
Worthless
Useless
Nuisance
Ugly
Fat
You ruin everything
Get out of my sight
Disgusting
All these thoughts swirled in my head and I believed everyone of them. I slowly stood up on the railing, looking at the heavy traffic beneath me. I open my arms bracing myself for the fall, but when I start falling two arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back.I try to kick the person who grabbed me but they hold on tighter. The person only pulls me closer laying my head on their chest, and that's when I break. I start crying into this persons shoulder as I hug them tightly.
I felt the person run a hand through my hair but their hand felt covered by something. When I look up I see a guy who is about six foot and is wearing a black and yellow shirt with a black cape. He had yellow gloves on his hands and half of his face was snake like and has a bowler hat on.
'Are those real?' I ask myself and I hear the guy chuckle. "Yes my scales are real, you were staring at them" he chuckles. I feel my face turn a dark red before signing 'sorry' to him.
"It's quite alright, your not to bad looking yourself" he says. All of a sudden he jumps up into a tree across the bridge in the park and hangs upside down. "Hey, have I told you, you turn my world upside down?" He questions opening his arms wide, then four more pop out from underneath his cape.
I lightly smile seeing him like that has he hops down and runs back over to me and taking both my hands in his. He brings one hand up and wipes away the left behind tear stains. "I'll see you around quiet kid" the mysterious boy says before turning and walking away.
I stand there frozen, unsure how to handle what just happened. I slowly start walking home with my mind on this mysterious person before I feel a tight force on my arm and then a pinch and a burning sensation through my arm. Almost immediately my eyes close and I fall limp against the person holding me.
The last thing I heard before I blacked out was "we got him" and then everything stopped.
