The strange

A fifteen year old boy named Em goes through a lot of emotional changes through this journey. Em struggles to find his old self, the person that he used to know. Em wished that he could go back to when he was a child and nothing mattered, he could play outside with his older brother for hours, waiting to hear his parents say, "Boys it's time to eat dinner." All he wanted to do was play and laugh with his brother again. That childhood that he wanted back was gone, long gone and life isn't like that anymore. When Em's older brother Lois died nothing was the same. His parents shut him out, and even forgot about him, they didn't even talk to him most days. It's been 10 months now and his parents still treat him like a mistake. They only talk to him when they want him to do something, but most days they spend their time yelling at him to do something or complaining about how useless he is. Em's life started to turn around when he met Ace. Ace was the only person he felt like he connected to. Ace was a fun, supportive, caring, and bubbly person most of the time, at least on the outside, but on the inside, he was struggling with problems of his own. Em and Ace eventually got closer and became good friends until Em's parents decided they were tired of him and wanted to ship him off to boarding school. Em thought he was going to have to restart his life and leave the one good thing he had behind, but little did he know he was in for a surprise. Em realized he had these feelings that he never had before, he was happy, scared, and it filled him with adrenaline. One day everything changed...Em thought he was crazy or delusional and nothing was the same after that day. Nothing.
