Smiles, Tears, Laughter and Screams

by Harper Clan

So I wrote this story to a backup for a poem, "Smiles and Laughes". Wally holds a mask in front of his family, his team, and the people who care about him. Watch as Wally's life goes from bad to worse and finally turns better. (Eventually) :D PLease read! It's Wally Whump, and I konw everyone loves Wally Whump! Go ahead and read and review for me! Thanks so much everybody!

1. Prologue

A/U: OK, so I'm writing this cool story about a poem called, "Smiles and Laughes". I can't spell her name, but she's in my favorites.. She is an awesome writer, and this inspired me.. Some language and some suggestions, but NOT big or major.. Promise.. :D

Masks.. Such a funny thing.. Masks cover people.. Sometimes covers injuries.. or sometimes yourself.. I loathe and love maskes.. If it makes sense... I probably didn't explain myself clearly.. I'm Wallace Rudolf West but you can call me Wally... Everybody does.. I'm a ginger, with bright green eyes and more freckles then you can count.. I"m also Kid Flash, protegee to Flash. Teammate to Young Justice which is a "Junior Justice League".

Now, continuing my talk about masks. I love masks because it covers my weakness, and makes me feel better in front of my so-called friends.. But I can't take it down for one second, and everyone expects the same after a while. A dumb idiot ginger.. Hah! Yeah right, let me tell you! I am an A++ student in everything, I can take down Flash, I'm faster!

Weakness? My dad... Yeah, my dad is abusive, and my mom doesn't even care. My Uncle and Aunt doesn't even know.. So much for parents, right?! Anyways, if you think I would be suicidel, your wrong.. I'm 'dumb' so it gives me the same pain, but no scars.. Huh, I'm good.

The smile on my face

Covers my pain

I know everybody's history, literally. Bat's family was shot, Robin's killed, Artemis's criminals, M'gann's different, Superboy's.. DOnors, And Aqualad's criminal, too. So maybe my parent's are easier then others.. My entire life? Everyone has to butt in and insult or be mean to me.. I take it, I have too..

My laughter

Hides my saddness

My false ignorence

Makes me seem innocent and naive

People think because of my 'ignorance' or my mask, I'm an innocent child and naive.. Yeah right, I mean, I've been raped more then 10 times BEFORE I was even 10.. Innocent?! Naive?! Shuddup! Criminals have kissed me, and guess what?! I come out at top!

I'm getting ahead of myself.. I liked Artemis, after all, but she seems to loathe and despise me. She never calls me my real name.. Baywatch, Kid Dork, Kid Idiot and the list goes on and on! DO I need to scream and shout, "My name is Wally West, Not Baywatch or anything!" HUh

I can see through the fake smiles

But I pretend I don't notice.

People think I'm dumb, naive, and innocent. As you can see, I'm not. Welcome to my life as Wally West.

A/U: There we go! A sneek peek, and please enjoy this! NO Flames, storyline goes to u/3260245/The10Espada99, the poem goes to her, my support goes to music! "Run Devil Run", "High School Never Ends", "Girls Can Do It Like A Dude", and much more are supports for me! Y'all know what to do! Love ya all!
