Tyler was a nice guy. He was the captain of the football team, teachers loved him, and, like the stories goes, he dated the prettiest girl in school. He was a good looking guy too. He was a good 6 feet tall and built. He had dirty blonde hair and dark emerald green eyes. Tyler seemed like the perfect guy, he even had a scar under his left eye that all the girls drooled over. It was his “battle” scar he got when he fought off a guy who was picking on his little brother. Sadly that wasn’t the story. Tyler’s father was a heavy drinker and often beat his brother and his mom. Tyler’s dad didn’t hit Tyler thought, mainly because Tyler towered over him. Tyler never said anything because his father told him if he did he would kill his mother. Tyler and his mom were always close. From the time he was a little boy, him and his mom had this connection. They would joke around saying that they had an invisible USB cored that connected them because they could always finish each other’s thoughts. Tyler missed how he could always joke around with his mother, but his father had beaten her into a silence. She only talked when his father told her she could, which was never.
So this is Tyler’s story. Its sad yes, but I promise you the end will be well worth the read. Tyler had something about him that I loved. Oh I forgot to mention who I was. I’m Leo. So maybe this story isn’t just Tyler’s but mine as well. Well let me just start from the beginning, it was the first day of senior year…
