Chapter 1

Life sucks.

I think that that statement could be considered a universal truth by now.

But the thing is, my life didn't used to suck.

When I was younger I had everything I could ever want. I had two parents that loved me, a group of friends that I could depend on, and one friend in particular that I knew even then would risk his life for me if he had to.

Even now not much has changed.

My mom passed away a few years ago so now it's just me and my dad. I still have that same group of friends and we are even closer now than we were back then, and I still have my best friend.

Sounds pretty good right, well most of the time it is, but these last few weeks have royally sucked.

Why you ask, well let me enlighten you.

Remember that best friend I mentioned, well his name is Reid Garwin, and I am completely in love with him. I have been for years, but I have never told him.

Reid and I grew up together, we knew everything about each other, and we had no secrets.

I knew that his favorite color was black. I knew that his favorite movie was True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, and I also knew that if I ever told anyone that he would kill me. I knew how he felt about his parents, and how he felt about his 'brothers'. I also knew about his darkest secret, one that could never ever get out, I knew that Reid was a witch.

To this day I still remember when he told me.

It was on his thirteenth birthday, I had come over for his party, and after everyone but his brothers and I had left he pulled me away from everyone else. He had taken my hand and led me to our tree house, we had begged his dad for weeks to build it when we were about eight until he finally broke down and did it.

It had been a few years since we had actually been up in it but everything was just as I remembered it. We had sat down with our legs dangling over the edge, and he just took my hand and looked me in the eye and told me the truth about his family.

At first I didn't believe him, but that didn't last long. After he had told me we had climbed back down from the tree house and walked back over to his family. He looked so cute when he puffed out his chest and told everyone that I knew their secret. I was expecting some of the adults to be angry with him, but they didn't even act surprised. They must have known that Reid was planning on telling me.

I saw his father check his watch and look back up at Reid.

"It's time son" he said in an almost pained voice. Reid, who was still holding my hand, gave it a little squeeze.

He turned to me and pulled me to him in an almost bone-crushing hug. He was shaking, I could tell he was scared about something but I couldn't figure out what.

He had told me that he was supposed to be getting his so called 'Powers' today but that it wouldn't be until the exact moment he was born.

Reid released me and walked out away from everyone. He stood there with his back facing us, when at the last second he turned around and locked eyes with me. He smirked at me, causing me to smile back, then out of nowhere he was hit by a bolt of lightning.

I watched in horror as he was raised into the air, still being hit by random bolts of lightning, I could hear him screaming in pain. Then just as quickly as it had begun it was over.

Reid and I have been inseparable ever since.

But what's the problem with my life you ask.

Well I am in love with Reid Garwin, and Reid Garwin has a girlfriend.
