Since that cold night, part 1
This is the story of my life. It's a bit messy and weird but it's also fantastic. Let me start by introducing myself, my name is CJ and I live in this wonderful city called the Hague. The Hague is a city in the Netherlands and I go to school there, well I went to school there and I'm currently 17 years old. Let me start with where this all began, when I was 10 years old I met a girl, her name was Melody. Melody and I played together all the time, we had so much fun. I even asked her to be my girlfriend, that's pretty cute don't you think? She said yes and she is currently still my girlfriend. She plays an important role in my life, she does now and she did 7 years ago.
There was a kid that bullied me, his name was Frank. I think he was bullying me because I had a relationship with Melody. That put aside, he was always pushing me and hitting me. I'd always cry and I never fought back. I always cropped up my feelings, but that wasn't smart. He was annoying Melody, and I protected her as the little caring guy that I was. This was the first time I got into a real fight. He punched me, I took the hit and immediately hit him back, he fell down and I jumped on top of him, I punched him again and again until he lost consciousness. The teachers came running to see if Frank was okay, but it turned out that he had a concussion.
I got suspended from school and Melody visited me and thanked me for what I had done. She gave me a big hug and it felt nice and warm. She whispered: 'You're the sweetest person in the world and I hope we'll always stay together'. Then she went back home and that same night I thought about what Melody had said to me and I suddenly felt cold, it wasn't like normal cold, it was extremely cold.
The next day I returned to school, everything was fine, at least that's what I thought. I finished the day at school and I walked home with Melody. We live in the same street and it isn't that far away from school, so we just walk home together every day. Suddenly we heard noises from the bushes up ahead. Four boys, including Frank, appeared before us. I apologised for what had happened the previous day. I tried to explain that I had lost my mind, but he wouldn't listen. Three boys ran towards me and I wondered why the fourth boy wasn't doing anything, but then I realized. They were not after me, they were after Melody. Frank knew that Melody meant everything to me so he wanted Melody. A raging power surged through my body and I stared to feel cold again. It was exactly the same cold feeling as the feeling I'd had the night before. I flipped and I don't know really what happened afterwards. All I know is that I woke up at a youth detention centre, I had apparently hurt those boys very badly.
I heard that I had anger issues, so I had to go through some therapy, but that it would only last a month. I couldn't handle the feelings to not see Melody for 30 straight days, because nobody was allowed to visit. The first night I lay down on my bed, thinking about Melody, when I felt that cold feeling again, but it was worse than before. I gazed at the moon and suddenly I felt an ice cold feeling throughout my body. I couldn't move or talk, I was completely frozen. I gazed at the moon for a second time and I could move again, I stood up, put my hands against the wall and I looked down. But when I looked up at the wall around my hands, I saw that the wall was frozen. Since that cold night everything magically changed.
