Hope for life

Gone

It's been a week since the party, and Kye and I have gotten pretty close. He's told me so much about him, I found out he has a brother Caleb. I've met Caleb a few times and he has a tough exterior even though I can tell he cares about Kye allot. I've also shared allot of things with Kye, but there's still allot he doesn't know. I honestly feel bad for not telling him, but I do hope it's for the best.

Kye and I spend almost every afternoon at the skatepark. It's a good place considering Kye lives in the apartments not far from there. Well here we are once again talking the time away. I honestly hope this never changes, because for once I'm happy. Happy with everything. I can already see I want him in my life longer then anyone else. Today was another wonderful day and Kye and I are laughing about anything and everything. That's when my phone buzzes alerting me that I got a text from an unknown number. I slide the screen to read the mysterious text, and as I read over the text my heart drops...

Kye's Pov
I was with Angel at the skatepark having an amazing time like always, but something is wrong. One second we were laughing and the next second her expression changed. Without thinking I reached out for her, "Angel, whats the matter. Angel?" Her head snapped up and she forced a smile, "oh, it's nothing I- I just have to go Im sorry Kye." I was slightly confused, "umm, Okay? Can I have a hug? Please." Angel gives me a slight attempted smile, "of course." As she wraps her arms around my neck I wrap my arms around her waist. I'm not sure why but I love giving her hugs, even tho I hate physical contact.

I have a weird feeling about the text she got. Was it just nothing? Or was something bad happening in her almost non existing family? Or perhaps something else? I shook my head, "stop over thinking Kye. I'm sure it was nothing like she said." I returned home to find my brother sleeping on the couch and my parents gone. I headed to my room and decide to pass some time and play a few games on the Xbox.

I messed around into late night and decided to get some sleep at 1 a.m. As I started to drifted off to sleep I was again awoken by my phone buzzing. Barley being able to keep my eyes open I read the two word text from Angel, "I'm sorry." Before I was able to respond my eyes drifted closed and everything went black.

I was woken up by my brother shaking me, "Kye! Kye! Wake up! There's someone by the name of Ali here to see you." I groan and slap his hands away, "UGHH what does she want? Tell her I'll talk to her later." With those words Caleb slapped me across the head, "dumbass get up. I may not know who she is but all I know is she's crying here eyes out mumbling about your girl Angel." The second I hear her name I shot up, "Caleb she's not my girl. Just shut up, okay." I got up and walked to the door opening it to find a devastated Ali, "whoa whoa whoa Ali what's the matter? What happened?" Ali's voice cracks, "A-Angel, s-shes gone. Just gone." I gave her a confused look, "what do you mean she's just gone?" Ali soon starts explaining, "I went over to her house cause she wasn't answering her phone and when she didn't answer the door I decided to let myself in to see what was going on. Her bag and a bunch of clothes are gone along with all her money and some of her valuables. Kye she's gone she left and I don't think she's coming back."

I sent Ali over to Jackson's hoping he'll calm her down. Thoughts race through my mind again. Where the hell is she? What was the text she got? Will I ever get to see her again? That's when I snapped. The thought of never seeing her again made me lose it. Being blinded by rage I start slamming my fists against the wall, one after another my knuckles start cracking and snapping. As my knuckles break some bones start to pierce through my skin the blood starts to flow. That doesn't stop me, I kept hitting the wall with more force. I was so concentrated I didn't even realize by brother walked in. Caleb starts screaming at me, but I can't make out his words right now. I fell a arm wrap around my waist flinging me to the ground. As I come back to reality I find him once again screaming at me, "what the hell are you doing! What the fuck is your problem, have you gone insane! Look at your fucking hands! Mom is going to kill me if she finds out you did this again!" I stand up to face him, "what the hell do you care! Let mom scream at me some more, does it look like I fucking care!"

"Foolish brother, sit the fuck down so I can somehow patch up your hands." I roll my eyes as I sit down. Caleb knows allot of medical stuff, I guess you tend to learn allot when you have to deal with a brother like me. Always doing stupid stuff and getting severely hurt. As Caleb wraps my bloody hands I wince at the pain. "Kye why do you insist on doing this? Now what the hell has gotten into you. I mean you've never when this far as to hurt yourself this bad." I sit and stare at the ground in silence before whispering, "Caleb she's gone.."

"Hmm, now would this be the girl that you claim to not like?" I look up at Caleb with slightly angered eyes, "Caleb shut the fuck up." Caleb stands signaling he's finished, "whatever Kye keep denying it. You deny everything good that comes into your life." I stand up and stop him, "you know what always happens. They always get hurt." Caleb turns to me to say one thing before he walks away, "but just maybe she's different."
