I let out a loud scream as I hit something hard.I open my eyes and sat up breathing heavily, sweating,trembling. I look around as my dream rush back to my mind.I brought my knees to my chest and held them tight.
"Mom,dad".I whispered.I was so scared.
My bedroom door open and my grandma walked in,as soon as she saw me she came over and held me in her arms.I hug her back as she caress my hair and whisper soothing things while rocking us back and forth. I stop tremble and she brought me back up to my bed and I laid down with her next to me.She sang my favorite song,the one that my mom always sang around the house.With her caressing my hair I close my eyes and soon enough I was asleep again.
I woke up,feeling the heat of the sun on my arms and face through my now open windows.I pulled the blanket over my head and close my eyes.
"Honey you have to get up.I don't want you over sleeping or else you won't sleep tonight".My grandma shook me.
I pulled the blanket off and she smile and walked out.I went to my bathroom and stand in front of the mirror.I ran a hand through my hair and stared at my self.
~~~
My name is Bobby Shouter I'm gay and 16 and turning 17 in about a month.I hate my birthday it always remind me of ......what happened.I don't have friends because I'm scared of everybody, except my grandparents who I live with.I have jet black hair,brown eyes and my skin is very pale.I only wear black or white clothes and I paint my finger nails black and I use to cut my self,well I'm working on that.Otherwise the only way to discribe my self is that I'm a broken 16 year old boy that's afraid of everything that moves because of something that happen last year.I won't tell you though.I hate to think of it much less talk .
~~~
I took a shower and went downstairs,I headed into the kitchen and sat down at the table.My grandpa ruffled my hair and then pat it.
"Morning kiddo,sleep alright last night?".he ask sipping his tea.
I shrug."I guess".
My grandma came over with my breakfast and I started eating. I was a little tired to be honest
"Honey,Cindy and her grandson is coming over today,I'm just reminding you in case you want to stay down here with us".
I shook my head,"I said I'm staying in my room I don't want to see anyone".She nod not bothering to argue,she knew I was afraid of people.
Cindy and my grandparents have been best friends before I was even born.We move here after what happened back at my old house and we were now closer to her,about a block away and she was coming over today with her grandson to welcome us and I'm staying in my room.I'm terrified of people you don't know who you can trust and you don't know good people from bad people unless someone dies.
I finish eating and played cards with my grandpa while grandma made dinner for the guest.
"So exited to attend your new school?".grandpa asked somewhere through the game.
"Yea,can't wait".I lied forcing a smile on my lips.
I didn't want to go back to school,a new school,full with people that might kill me.I would freak out on the first day.I hate people, they scare me.
The door bell rang and I got up and ran up the stairs as fast as I could careful not to miss a step.I open my door got in and close it jumping on my bed.I sat there for a minute letting my breathing fall back to normal before turning on the TV on the wall.Cartoons always cheer me up,it made me relax.
I heard talking down stairs and I turned up the TV more to block the noise downstairs out.
**Ashton's P.O.V**
"Mom,dad,grandma!".
no answer,this sucks.I walk into the living room and sat down.Just as I was about to get up my grandma walked in.
"Hey honey,you called?".she ask.
"Yea where is mom and dad? they're supposed to be home tonight".
"Oh they won't honey but they didn't tell me why but go get ready".she said.
I frown,my parents are almost never at home.I hated it,well at least I have my grandma.I shrug to myself and went up the stairs.
~~~
My name is Ashton Evans,I'm 17 years old.I'm the captain of my school's football team and popular and I'm dating the captain of the cheer leading squad.I'm tall,I have a well built body,brown hair,tan skin and brown eyes.I'm what you would call a jock,some say player but I don't label myself.
~~~
"Ashy,are you ready!?".my grandma called from downstairs.
She was taking me with her to see her old friends,they just move here about a block down the street.I love going places with my grandma,she's fun.
"Yea I'm coming!".I called back,I picked up my earphones and got out of my room closing the door.
I went downstairs and got in my car with my grandmother.
"Grandma you know we could have walked?".I said to her as we pulled out of the drive way.
"You expect me to walk a block you're young,you walk".she said.
I sighed and kept my eyes on the road.Less than five minutes she pointed to the house.I looked at it as a parked in front of the house.It was a big house,rich like.I got out of the car and waited on my grandma at the front of the car.She came and we walked to the door.She press the door bell and we waited.An old lady about my grandma's age opened the door and she and my grandma smiled at each other before hugging.
"Cindy how are you?".the lady asked.
"I'm okay Marissa,how have Bobby been doing?".grandma asked.
"He's not doing good,he just ran upstairs when the doorbell rang".the woman frown.
"Oh am sorry to hear that,he'll be okay soon".The lady smiled and nod before turning to me.
"And you must be ashy".the woman smiled at me.
"Ashton",I corrected."nice to meet you".
"I'm Marissa nice to meet you too come in you too,dinners ready".
She walk off and we followed,looking around the house as I go.Yep this place is rich we came to the dinning room and a old man looked up and smiled at us.
"Hey Cindy,how's it going?"the man said shifting in the chair.
"Am okay Ted,how are you?".my grandma asked.
"Am getting older everyday".the man said and cracked his back.I snickered.
"And who's this rebel looking kid?".he asked.
"Oh this is Ashton,my grandson".
Grandma said.
"Hi".i said.
"Have a seat you two,time to eat".
Marissa came over placing food on the large diamond table.
"Isn't Bobby joining us".grandma asked again.
"No,he's still in his own little world".Ted whispered.
"Oh".my grandma said as we started to eat.The three of them got into a deep conversation.We finish eating about half and hour later and I just watch in amuse as they talked.I could hear noise coming from up the stairs.I think its the Bobby kid.Ted said he was still in his own little world.I wonder what that meant.
After about a hour I got bored.
"Can I use your restroom?".I asked,interrupting their conversation.
"Well of course ".Marissa smiled at me. I smiled back and stood up.
I went up the stairs inspecting the house as I go along.I forgot to ask Marissa where the bathroom is.If I go through every door that will take too long.I heard noise coming from a door down the hall,maybe it was Bobby.I can ask him where the bathroom is and I could meet Bobby.
**Bobby's P.O.V**
I was still watching TV, the guest was still downstairs.I could hear them I wanted an apple but I wasn't coming out until I know they were gone.
I got up to use the bathroom,as soon as I got up there was a knock at the door.I jumped and stop in places,it has to be my grandma or grandpa.
"Come in".I said and the door handle turn and a guy walked in smiling.
Fear zapped through my body.I let out a scream.He jumped back.
I let out another scream,dropping myself in the corner near my bed.
"Please...go away".
"Sorry,I didn't mean to scare you, I was jus-".
"Leave me alone!",I scream again.I was so scared right now.I hate people,I hate strangers.
"Oh no Ashton what did you do to him?".A woman came in.
I recognize her.She was one of my grandma's friend.I met her once,years ago I didn't care I was still afraid.All that was going through my mind is that they were going to hurt me.I snuggled closer into the corner and started to cry.
"Go away,go away, go away".I cried harder.
"I don't know! I came in and he looked at me and started freaking out".the guy Ashton,I'm assuming said.
"Bobby?".my grandma came in with my grandpa behind her.I got up and ran behind him and held on to his upper arm tightly.
"Sorry did I do something to him,i'm so sorry".Ashton said.
"It's okay you didn't do anything,he just gets scared easily,that's all".my grandma said.
"Ok I'm sorry I'll be downstairs Marissa,come Ashton".my grandparents friend dragged the boy out of my room.
My grandpa walked me over to my bed and sat down with me.
"Its okay kiddo,they're gone it's okay".he said rubbing my back.
"I'll be downstairs Bobby just calm down and breath ok".my grandma said walking to the door.
I nod and she close it.I soon calm down and my grandpa let go of me and stood up.
"Are you okay now Bobby?".he asked.
I nod he walked out and I got up fast and close the door,locking it.I backed up to my bed and sat down.I brought my knees to my chest and rock my self back and forth. I wasn't ready to go back to school, I just wasn't.I haven't been so frighten since the last time I left this house and that was a long time.I haven't left the house in two months,summer and my old house I haven't left since the incident happened.
People just scare me.My mind went back to a few minutes ago.I was so scared I felt like peeing myself.The guy Ashton,his voice sounded so welcoming but he scared me, everyone does.
