This is my first cod fanfic and this is just the back story chapter
Becoming a Ghost
Chapter 1: In the beginning
"Hey Tom are you coming or what?" yelled my best friend Kyle. "Yeah, I'll be right down. I grabbed my long board and went down stairs. The TV was on and was
talking about how the Federation, every South American country under one flag, was becoming more aggressive. I being a 17 year old really did not care about
the world mainly because in my mind there was only one thing that was important: summer. Being a teenager in southern California meant only three things:
sun, surf and fun. As I was walking out a voice stopped me. "Thomas where are you going?" It was my mom. I loved her with all my heart. I never knew my
father. He died severing in Afghanistan so my mother had to raise me by herself. I would give my life for her. She has told me that I look like my father but I
have my mother's hazel nut eyes and dark brown hair. Sometimes people would ask if I was my father's son. I also questioned that myself. I wasn't brave like he
must have been. I shook off the thought and responded. "I'm going out. You know it's the 4th of July party on the beach tonight." "Oh that's right, I'm sorry I'm
just getting old. Go on now. Have fun but please for me be safe." "I will mom, I promise." I kissed my mother on her fore head and I went out the back door.
"Well it's about time." Kyle complained as I got on my board. "Hey do you think Kelly will be there tonight?" I asked. "Yeah she will but you only want Kelly there
so you can see Jackie." "Shut up Kyle." He was right about how I just wanted to see Jackie. Her dad severed along side my father. They were both killed in the
same firefight. She was just the most perfect girl in the world. The only problem was her sister Kelly who hated me because Kyle would not go out with her. "Oh
yeah well then who are you excited to see?" I asked. Kyle was not the smartest person. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was on the verge of repeating
high school. His parents spilt when he was four and always got in trouble with basically everybody. After a moments pause he responded. "Anybody who wants
this." I rolled my eyes and we cruised down town towards the beach. I loved L.A.; I don't know what it is was about it but I found the smell and the strange
people to be family and my norm. I saw an old homeless guy preaching that it's the end of the world. Oh the irony. As we approached the entrance we bumped
into our friend Jack. Jack was the nerd of our group. He was obsessed with comic books and technology. He was only a little shorter then I was but still could take
me in a fight. He had brown hair and eyes like I did but it wasn't like we looked alike. "Hey guys what's up?" "Jack I told you that we would meet at Tom's house
and will you please take off that Mario shirt?" "Sorry Kyle this shirt will never leave my chest and besides I was at the comic book store." "Whatever guys lets
just go have some fun," I suggested. We walked in and the party had already started. Then I met up Jackie. "Hey Tom." "Hey Jackie." She looked great, like
always, but today she sparkled. The sun reflected off her dark black hair and her sea green eyes. She was wearing her sandals, skinny jeans and she had on her
U.S. Army tee shirt. "Hey earth to jerk face I'm keeping an eye on her tonight so don't get any ideas." That was Kelly all right, the complete opposite of Jackie.
She had multiple pimples and piercings on her face. She looked like something out of a freak show. Unfortunately, this freak was the love of my life's sister. "Look
I wasn't thinking of doing anything ok Kelly." "I'm watching you." Kyle then intervened and said "Hey Kelly how about we try again, I'll pay for dinner." She
quickly agreed and they went on their way. Jack saw some of his robotics club buddies and went off with them, which left Jackie and I alone. We went down to
the beach and watched sunset. "Hey Tom?" "Yeah Jackie." "Do you believe that our fathers still watch over us even though…well you know." I paused for a
moment to think about that question. I didn't even know if my father knew that my mother was impregnated with me. He had left for Afghanistan so fast that
he didn't even have time to say goodbye. But I knew Jackie wanted an answer, she was a strong girl but was never really sure about asking the big questions
and neither was I. I was about to answer when a small tremor hit. "Whoa just a little shake their huh Jackie?" "Yeah. Hey Tom lets head back to the docks."
Then another tremor shook the ground. "Well it is tremor season right?" I asked but Jackie was all focused on getting back to the docks so I continued to follow
her. The wind had picked up and ground was really beginning to shake. "Oh my god, Tom look!" I looked up to see a huge metal rod falling from the sky and was
heading right for the city. "Jackie we gotta go now!" "Not without my sister Tom." Everywhere people were screaming, running for their lives as debris fell from
the sky. Just then I saw Kyle, Jack and Kelly pull up in a sports car, which Kyle probably stole but at that point I did not care. "Come on get in!" Jackie and I
raced for the car and we drove for the interstate 10 high way. I then remembered out of all of the chaos I had forgotten someone: my mom! " Wait we have to
go get my mom." "No time Tom we have to move now!" exclaimed Kyle. In a state of fury I grabbed the wheel and drove a few blocks north. "Tom what are you
doing?! Were all gonna die!" cried Kelly. "Shut up Kelly I know what I'm doing!" As we pulled up to my house my mother was trying to start her car. "Mom get
in!" She hopped in the back and as we were escaping I turned around to see that giant metal rod crash right down into the city. America was crippled.
I hope you guys enjoyed Chapter one ill put up Chapter 2 soon. I know this one was kind of boring but it will get better. This is my first Cod fanfic and please leave suggestions and reviews. I can't wait to write more! For now this is John Bear signing off!
