-...(what about now?? nope, still no kids)...
-Will we have a car?
-I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow.

-We'll live by my best friend so thats pretty cool.
-Maybe I will get used to the snow.
-I hate the snow.
-The snow makes me sad.

-Don't die. 
-You saw how everyone reacted when he almost died.
-Everyone loves you so stop being a freak.
-I want french fries.
-french fries make you fat. But you wanna know who cares???
-Not me!!
-Okay, seriously though... I'm going to go eat some french fries.

I think there's supposed to be a title here?

He rubs his sweaty palms together as he slowly walks to the front of the room. He gets to the stand and clears his throat a few times. He can't rememeber the last time that swallowing was this hard. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. "For the past few days everytime I close my eyes I see his face in my mind," he mumbles, "but I don't look at the bad. I just remember all the fun times we had together. I rememeber the time we played with light sabers in the middle of the school hall way. I remember jumping on our beds and always making our mothers so mad. Do you remember that time that you came home, Sandy, and there was a big hole in the wall? We blamed it on Chris, but it was really Kaden and I. We were doing backflips off your stairs and he overshot it and hit the wall with his head." He gives a little chuckle and the corners of his mouth begin to turn up. "Sorry about that. I know he left us too soon and he was only 18... But I want everyone to remember all the good times we had with Kaden. He was close to all of you or else you wouldn't be here." He continues his talk and he tries to hold in the tears as he remembers all the fun they had together. He can't believe he lost his best friend like that, but he has to keep strong for his brother Chris. He needs to be his example and help the poor little guy out. He goes home and puts his spare change into the family savings jar. He knows its hard right now, but he needs to help his mom out. She's a single mother raising three teenage boys and a little girl. He realizes how hard it is for her to be working double shifts day in and day out. He offered to get a second job, but she knows how important school is and she won't let him give up his education to help her pay the bills. He climbs into bed with his little sister, Colette. He hugs her tight and asks her about her day. She tells him about the bullies at school and how they make fun of her clothes and her shoes. She tells him about how she has a solo in her dance and she really wishes her daddy could be there to see it. He kisses her forehead and whispers, "everything will be alright" in her ear. He tells her goodnight and leaves her room. He wishes he could help. A dad shouldn't just leave a little girl like that. He can handle, but she's only six... He doesn't understand why life has to be so hard sometimes. He wishes he could help his family, but he has problems of his own. He doesn't know what to do... He would usually go to Chris by now. Chris was his best friend and he was taken at only 18. He wishes that he could come back just for a day to tell him what to do. "Bravery runs in my family." He remembers his grandpas words as he holds back tears. He knows he needs to be strong, but he just doesn't remember how anymore. He feels like his whole world is crumbling and doesn't know how to help. He goes to work to try to keep his mind off of everything and to help his mom to pay some bills. He's been putting more money in that jar lately hoping that he can contribute to his moms hard work somehow. Working minimum wage jusst doesn't help very much and he doesn't know what to do. He just knows that he needs to breathe and move on with life. He's twenty eight now with a beautiful wife and two gorgeous baby girls. And not a day goes by that he isn't thinking about Chris. He still wears his cross around his neck even ten years after his passing to remind him that life is always too short to not be living it fully.

DINOSAURS

HALLOWEEN
ALICE IN WONDERLAND

I Think He Has Lost It


He wakes up, thinking today is just a normal day. Pulls on that old blue work shirt and rubs his eyes to wash away the sand from the sleeping man. Little did he know that his phone would ring and change his whole life. The voice on the other line tells him his cousin is dead...a suicide from heroin overdose. 
He's losing his mind, but he has to keep himself together, he has work. He walks into work, and everyone is staring at him. "You don't look so good," they say. He wants to scream. No shit, I don't look so good! He wants to yell at them, but he knows they don't know the news. He can't do this. His boss calls him into her office. "I need the day off tomorrow, I have a funeral to go to." She doesn't ask and he doesn't tell her as tears fill his swollen eyes. He's losing it more and more, he can't keep this up for long. She tells him to just go home. He leaves as fast as he can, running all the way to his garage.
He goes inside and smokes a bowl hoping that will ease his pain. He cried as his sadness slowly shifts to anger. "He was SIXTEEN!" he yells, "God damn it! He was too young!" He yells as he cracks open a can of beer. He just doesn't care anymore. His girlfriend is worried about him, and he doesn't care. He just drinks one beer after another. How many has he had now? He tries to recall, but he lost track after the eleventh one. His mom yells at him. She tells him her cousin was a piece of shit anyways and that he's just drowning his life in alcohol.
 He needs to fight. He aches for a fight. He calls his buddy and they go to their old fight club. Everyone here knows how he fights and no one dares fight him at a time like this. He needs a fight; he is going to go crazy. Some brave soul volunteers and thinks he can beat him. They get in the ring and he doesn't care anymore. He throws the first punch and after that he is gone. He doesn't remember much of the fight. All he sees is blood and the kid is on the floor. He begins to panic... but he notices his breathing. Good, he's still alive. The kid was new, but he still should have known not to fight him. Once he gets hit in the face he's gone. He blacks out and loses it, demolishing anything in his way. Everyone knows not to hit him in the face.
He gets a ride home and goes straight for the fridge. His hands start to ache as he opens another beer. He wants to be numb and this is the only way he knows how to get rid of the pain. He takes some sleeping pills as he finishes the can. He gets into bed hoping to sleep the pain away.
His girlfriend is starting to worry. She doesn't know how he is going to handle all of this. She's texted him and called him, but has gotten no reply. She is starting to freak out. The last thing she got from him was a simple text saying, "I'm fighting tonight." She begged him not to, but still no reply. She knows how he gets and she made him promise he wouldn't fight anymore, but he went fighting. This made her worry so much. It's been fourteen hours and she has no reply. She is starting to fear the worst. He could be in the hospital.. or jail.. or he could be dead.. She remembers all the promises he made her. She can hear them clear in her head. The promise of their marriage and their little baby girl. She knew it was all too good to be true. She bites her lip as she stresses herself out... and he doesn't care. She thinks about the time they went to the mall to look for baby clothes. She thinks about the time they went to Ogden to look at wedding rings. She told him she was too young. Why did she have to tell him that? She doesn't know if he is okay... She worries that this could be the end and she ruined it all. She worries that he could be dead and the only reason she didn't marry him was because she was... "too young.." She always hopes for the future, but with him.. She never knows. She cries in her room, unsure of his safety.
He wakes up from a million texts from her, but he doesn't care. He turns off his phone and grabs another beer. She is starting to worry and he doesn't care. He gets in his truck and starts to drive. He knows he doesn't have a license and he's not good at driving angry. He doesn't care though. Why should he care? He drives as fast as he can. He doesn't know where he is going and he doesn't care. He screams and loses himself in another beer. He is so done with everything... and he doesn't even care. I think he has lost it.. and he doesn't feel a thing.
