The Shoes That He Drew On Me

Sage Candress is a typical teenager just like everyone else in their community high school, except for the fact that he is beaten and tortured daily by his alcoholic father. One night, Sage's dad comes home utterly wasted, and aggravated from the bar. He barges into Sage's room, yelling at him to get ready for school, on a Saturday, at 2:34 in the morning. When Sage failed to comply with his father's demands, he drunkenly swung at him, breaking his nose. Sage gathered his few belongings and fled. He sleeps in a field for the night, and goes for a morning walk. He runs into his friend Matt, who offers Sage a place to stay for a while. He politely excepts, and stays at Matt's for a while. They start becoming closer friends than ever, and take a liking towards one another. However, Jack, the school bully approaches them and knocks Sage out cold, and Matt has to coop with the complete loss of a friend for an entire month. He does some stuff he isn't proud of, and that Sage wasn't particularly proud of either when he found out. The drama doesn't seem to end there though. Sage gets into a tussle with his father again after he found out where he was staying, and was admitted to the same hospital he came home from the day before. Matt, Sage, and Matt's big sister, Willow are broken some very bad news about Sage's health, and together they struggle through the problems, with Matt by Sage's side the entire time, they thought the were finally going to be okay when Matt does something completely unforgivable to Sage, and all hell brakes loose between them. Things are said, words are flung, and bones and hearts are left broken.
