The Forgotten Boy (A True Suiside Story)

The Day Part 1

        "Chase, I thought I told you to go shopping! The pantry is empty!" I call to him as he does his homework on the couch.

        "I was busy, hey I am almost done with this. What about when I am done we go to the store?" He responds writing quicker.

        "Sure! Let me get my purse, I'll be back soon!" I leave heading back over to my house.

        I run up the stairs to my room and grab my purse. I walk over and look out the window just as some girls from my class come over and throw rocks at my window. My window shatters and the girls run away. I bend over and pick up the glass and I accidentally cut my fingers on a few pieces of glass. I put on a few band-aids and rush back over to Chases.

        "I'm back!" I call coming in the door.

        "Don't take off your shoes, I finished, where leaving!" He says.

        I wait at the door just as he calls out to me again, "Are you wearing sneakers?" He says as I respond with a yes, "Basketball when we are done shopping?"

        He comes out basketball in hand, "Sure!", I say.

        There is one team for each sport because the girls rarely play sports they mix the teams. I play on our schools basketball team with Chase. I am the only girl on our team, the rest are all guys. I take care of the team and it's members. They where the only ones who didn't hate Chase and I. Where where so close you could call us siblings.

        "Hey, I already called the guys and they said they where already in the park playing basketball. I told them we would go over after we shopped for food to fill the pantry." Chase said as we walked.

        "Awesome! We better get done shopping soon so we can go see them!" I call out to him as I run ahead twirling after each step.

        "I'll race you to the corner shop!" He calls out and dashes at me.

        "You know you can never beat me in running!" I chase after him.

        "That's what makes it fun! A new goal, a new challenge, it inspires me!" He says.

        I giggle as we race to the corner shop. Soon I arrive within a few seconds before him, and I go in. Then Chase comes in. We both grab a basket and walk around grabbing things. For the name "corner shop" it is actually a fairly big store supplied with everything. I grab seasonings that we have run out of and flour. I grab sugar, eggs, and some meats. I grab some vegetables and fruits and go to the counter.

        Ms. Ianna our cashier begins to scan things and starts up a conversation, "So are you and Chase dating yet? You seem to still take care of him so why aren't you guys a thing?" She says smirking.

        "Ms. Ianna!" I respond quickly to her statement.

        She laughs a bit, "Well I guess not, that's unfortunate!" She says.

        I sigh. I grab my bags and pay for the food just as Chase comes over.

        "Hey, you can go wait outside I only have a little bit of stuff." He says.

        "Sure." I walk outside then immediately get a phone call.

        "Hey listen to this!" It was Ms. Ianna.

        I am guessing she places her phone on the counter near Chase because the was a bit of a dropping sound, and I listened very closely to the conversation.

        "Hey, Ms. Ianna, how can I stop?" He asks.

        "Stop what?"

        "Stop being in love." He responds a bit quieter.

        "With whom? And why would you want to stop being in love?" She asks with a mocking tone.

        "You know... her... because it is only causing her pain." He says slowly.

        "You can't stop being in love dear, it's impossible. And how do you know it's causing 'her' pain? Have you even asked 'her'?"

        "No, but I just know." He whispers.

        "That will all be $13." She states.

        "Oh, right." He says.

        Soon I here a rustle of bags then end the call just as he comes outside. I grip my shopping bags a bit tighter then begin to walk with Chase to the park. There was a really akward silence going on the whole walk then finally we made it to the park and here our names being called. We head over to the basketball courts and put our stuff on the benches on the sidelines.

        "What are the teams?" I ask as we go onto the court.

        "I want Li on my team!" James says.

        "No, she's gonna be on my team!" John says.

        "We all agreed next game Magnolia was going to be on my team!" Stephon says.

        "Ha, it's fine, who is here and what will the teams be?" I say

        "All of us are here so we can do 8 on 8." Nick says

        "We will pick from team captions. I call team caption!" I call.

        "I call other team caption!" Fred says.

        "Hey give me a minute to think of a strategy then we will do rock paper scissors to see who will go first." I say.

        "Alright." Fred says.

        I look at everyone standing in a line, what would be the best team? I will make a team based on what people are good at. I am good at catching and passing, as well as running. Stephon is good at shooting, Walker is good at shooting, Cole is a good defensive player as is Kory, Len is good at everything, So is Silas and Chase. Alright that is my team

        "Okay lets go!" I turn to Fred.

        "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" We say in unison.

        "I win!" I call.

        We pick through and get our players. After we finish the first game it was dark so we all went home. Oh my god I totally forgot to cook dinner for Chase. I slip on the stairs running down the stairs in short shorts and a tee-shirt and I dash to his house. I go in and see Chase laying on the ground of his bathroom, but I can't see anymore then his legs peeking through the entryway.
