The Story Comes True

Chapter 1: The Beginning

     I was in my dad's office on my phone texting my internet friends. My dad and I had just got done watching a show that we watch together every Wednesday night. I was sitting at his desk and the news was on.
     "Father and son duo Henri and John Smith blow up a school in Paradise, Ohio," the news reporter said.
     I look up hearing John and Henri Smith automatically thinking of the book series Lorien Legacies. They show pictures of a destroyed school and I go upstairs into my room and call my friend.
     "Hey," my friend says.
     "Turn on channel 11," I respond.
     "Why?"
     "Just do it"
     There's no answer from the other line for a few minutes and then he starts talking, sounding surprised. "John and Henri Smith as in Lorien Legacies?" He asks.
     "I think so"
     "So then Lorien is real?"
     "I guess"
     "I gotta go," he hangs up.
     I sit on my bed and start freaking out in my head. I check the time and it's 10:30 PM. I lay in my bed and wait for my parents to go to bed and when they finally do I pack a bag with some clothes my phone charger and anything else I might need. I throw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and my leather jacket. I go downstairs and write my parents and brother a note that says: Gone to help the Garde. Be back in a few days. Love you. I put it on the island where my mom would be able to see it and I pull a pair of shoes on and go into the garage. I get into my mom's car and throw my bag in the back. I open the garage door, pull out of the garage, close the garage door, and drive out of the driveway. I pull up the gps, find a route that shows how to get to Paradise, Ohio, and I start driving, hoping that I will be coming back to my hometown alive.
     I know what I'm getting myself into and I know that I may not survive.
