But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler.

Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

Walls are the foundation of buildings. They keep them tall and strong. They protect what's on the inside, from the cruelty of the outside world. Walls are hard, cold stone. Walls are safe. As my fists fly back and forth, I feel the cold stone under my knuckles. With each hit, my body cools and my face becomes harder. I feel the wall inhabit my body. I feel my muscles tensing as my fists fly quicker. Sweat beads on my forehead and my breathing picks up. I push my hands forward with as much force as I can, the echo of the impact hollering around me. I continue to hit the wall and I close my eyes, trying to ignore the pain --------------------------------------------------------------------- When Noah moves to Chrysler Town High, he wants to stay quiet, observe the world around him. After before, he didn't want to go back to the limelight; he couldn't afford to.
