Here we are sitting here after my first soccer game. Waiting for my dad to pick me up knowing he's not. I'm laying down on the bleachers by myself watching the stars everyone has left. It's just me. I know what your thinking your 17 why don't you have a car? Well my parents say they don't trust me enough to drive. I hear someone walking on the bleachers but I don't look. I keep watching the stars. "May I join you?" I hear someone say. I look up and see a boy with brown hair looking at me. "Sure" he lays down next to me and watch the stars. " you know the stars are so interesting we don't know what is beyond them." I say. He looks at me and I just keep talking. " they shine so bright for all to see but no one pays attention." I say. " their like their not appreciated." He says. "Yea" I sit up and look at him. " what are you doing here so late?" I ask. " don't know I just felt like watching the stars and this is probabaly one of the best places to eat no lights fields all around it's perfect." He says. " yea I know my family and I used to come here all the time and watch the team play, it's like home." I say " do y'all still come here?" He says. " no my parents are always to worried about my sister. She got into a real accident and was in a coma from age eight to seventeen. It was a car accident my full entire family was in the car." I tell him "did you get hurt?" He ask " yea but not as bad as my sister." I say " what happened to you?" He ask " I was ejected out of the car." I say " injuries?" He ask "four broken ribs and tore my ACL and achilles from impact cause I had already half torn them." I say "see them they should have been worried about you too" he says "ehhh I've always been second best so it really doesn't matter." I say. " wait why are you here?" He ask " waiting for someone to pick me up. They usually are to busy with my sister to pick me up so I'll probably walk home." I say "do you not have a car?" He ask " nope my sis has one even though my parents don't want her going anywhere without both of them. They also don't think I'm responsible enough." I say. "Well how about for now on I drive you to places. Just text me and I'll pick you up." He says "ok" I say "since your doin gn that for me I want to show you something." I say "show me" he says.
