My Name Is Max Swan I never given much thought to how I would die But dying in the place of someone I love...Seems like a good way to go. So, I can't bring myself to regret the decision to leave home. would miss Phoenix,i'd miss the heat,I would miss my loving, erratic, harebrained mother And her new husband

"Guys, come on !I love you both, we got a plain to catch." said Phil But they wanna go on the road, So gonna spend some time with my dad And this will be a good thing... I think. I head to the plain after a painful good bye to my mom i head to

In the state of Washington,Under a near constant cover of clouds and rain,There's a small town named : 3120 is where I'm moving My dad's 's the Chief of Police.

"Your hair's longer."he said

"I cut since last time I saw you.I guess it grew a lot again." so yeah were talking about hair great note the sarcasm I used to spend two weeks here almost every summer, But it's been years... things would be different now we head to the road I would be jumping when I was little I loved it here we enter the house and go upstairs

"I cleared some shelves up in the bathroom." I forgot it was a small house

"Oh, right...One bathroom." I said the air got more tense by the minute

"It's a pretty good work Sears lady picked up the bed stuff." he said we walk into the room that was mine

"You like purple, right?" he asked

"Purple's cool." I said Thanks.

"Okay". he left I love my dad but he can be little uncomfortable but One of the best thins about Charlie ...He doesn't hover. I unpack my stuff I get the feeling like I'm waiting for something to happen I see my dad from out side with two guys one teen one in a wheel chair I head ou

"I heard you coming from down the road" my dad said"Max, you remember Billy Black..." Of course My closets thing to an uncle or a second father

"Yeah." I replied shyly don't you judge me I haven't seen him in a while "You're looking good." I commented despite the fact that he is paralyzed from the waist down

"I'm still dancing." wow dark sense of humor I like it

"I'm glad youre finally here. Charlie here hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming." he said wow my dad must really love me

"Alright, keep exaggerating...I'll roll you into the mud" he joked they started to fight playfully

"Until I ram you in the ankles." the wheel into the street "Yeah, bring it!" my father replied I just watched them be idiots and then that other guy spoke

"Hi, I'm Jacob." he said Jacob I remember "We used to make mud pies when we were little.""Right, I they always like this?" I mean acting like total idiots

"getting worse with old age." he said I stifled a laugh

"So, what do you think?" My dad said after coming back from acting like a 13 year old

"What?" I was confused

"Your homecoming present." Pointing at the red truck I never had my own car I was so happy

"This?" I was in shock

"Just bought it off Billy, here" Charlie said

"Yep." Billy said

"I totally rebuilt the engine for you." Jacob said Now I'm impressed

"Come on!" I couldn't believe it "Oh My Gosh!" I exclaimed This is perfect!

"You must be joking!" I got it I opened the door and acciendently hit Jacob"Sorry." I said he got in

"I told you he'd love it.I'm down with the kids. " He was trying to be hip I just rolled my eyes

"Oh, yeah dude. You're the bomb."charlie said so thats were I got my sarcasm from

"Okay,you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift but...Besides that, you should be good." said Jacob

"Alright." I replied

"You want a ride to school or something?" i asked he seems just as cool as when i left Im 15 he's 15 but I skipped 2 grades so Im a sophomore plus he was kinda cute so my blush might give away the fact that Im Gay

"I go to school on the reservation." Sounding disappointed Jacob said

"Oh, right." I said sounding the said "That's too bad. It would've been good to know one person."My first day in a new school. It's March, the middle of the semester Great. Again note the sarcasm
