Holden's story
I was on my computer playing Minecraft until my computer beeped. I look up to see I have an email from my friend John. I open it and read the three words he put down in bold.
"I got accepted!" John emailed me.
"That was today?" I emailed back.
"Yes, how could you forget."
"Idk" I email back before running downstairs to check the mail. After a bunch of junk mail I find a letter to me from Beacon. I scan the page taking out the important information. I run upstairs and email back "I got accepted! :)"
"I hope were on the same team." John emails back.
"Me too." I respond back before packing my things. I close my game and put on my pajamas. As I lay down I think about all the things that lead me too this moment. Like when my parents dissapeared. I dont know but I'm pretty sure they were killed. My grandpa got the word and took me in. He seemed normal but one night I saw him drinking Jack from the bottle. I learned that night there's different kinds of drunks and my grandpa was an angry drunk. I literally got into a fist fight with him. He's a lot stronger than he looks and after getting my ass handed to me I packed enough stuff to stay a week with my friend John who prefers to be called Mikey. Once I came back my grandpa acted like nothing happened but I can tell he still remembers. Now he's barely in the house and when he is its awkward silence or small talk. I ignore my grandpa now with video games and my computer. I have a second life on my computer and I favour that one more. I am kinda happy but a bit sad to go to Beacon. I mean I don't want to be teased cause my hair is long for a guy or I like video games. I'm tired of it and my patience is starting to wear thin. I sigh as I take out my phone looking at the time. I get up and tip toe down the stairs to grab a snack. I walk back up the stairs to my room and my grandpa opens his door.
"What are you doing?" He said his voice slurred.
Oh shit he's drunk. I back away slowly.
"Come here you brat. You can't just take my food and not do shit around this house!" My grandpa shouts. I take my luggage for Beacon and my two laptops and headphones with a mic. I make sure I have all my things and I unlock the door running out the door in pajamas and combat boots. My grandpa follows after me but I easily outrun him. I take out my scroll and press the emergency call button. John answers and my I shout in the phone,"Dude its happened again I shouldn't have left my room! Can I stay the night please. I have no where to go! Dude answer!"
"Yes you can stay."
"Thank you!" I shout before knocking on his door. He let's me in and looks at me angrily.
"Why were you yelling and you know its one in the morning right?!"
"I'm sorry I was filled with adrenaline and my grandpa was chasing after me but I outran him. I'm never going back if I can help it." I walk into his room and sleep on the floor. Something's telling me this years gonna suck. I close my eyes and try to forget what just happened. Mikey pulls me off of the floor and says dude your bleeding. I suddenly feel pain and when I touch were it hurts I feel blood. I could tell what happened by the cut on my shoulder. "He threw a knife at me! That druken ass!" I shout shocking Mikey. I never curse and when I do I'm super pissed. I clean it with peroxide and wrap a bandage around it. I hope this dosent leave a scar. I lay back down in the floor and go to sleep.
