Life
A fan fiction by Aaron
Chapter One: The Darkest of Days
Aaron was on his way to Ocean Shores for a two week vacation. It was a stormy August day, and the flight had its bumps and bruises. One month had passed since his uncle John had passed away from ALS, better known as Lou Gerhig's disease. "I'll be damned if I will ever let someone die like that again." Aaron had hoped the trip to Ocean Shores would clear his head up.
Things had definitely changed since his last trip to Ocean Shores. No longer, the innocent looking 20 year old who hung out with little kids anymore. No sir, he was no longer a boy, but a man. His earrings and bandana stood out, as well tattoo of "John".
"Hey, you punk! You're in my seat." Oh great, Aaron thought. "Why don't you just shut up and shove that cigar down your throat." The stranger didn't take too nicely to that and punched Aaron in the eye. That pissed him off and Aaron tackled him down and started to beat him badly. It took 6 officers to restrain him. Apparently, though no arrests were made, and all of the passengers looked at him like he was a freak.
Meanwhile, in Ocean Shores, Otto and Reggie, both sophomores in high school were drinking their milkshakes at Ray's Shore Shack. Tito had died a few years ago, due to his weight problems, so Ray had to take care of the store of himself. "I've got a big surprise for you," Ray said. "Aaron's coming over for a vacation, but he's not doing it for fun this time. No, this time it is for him to clear his head." Otto asked, "Why, what's wrong?" Ray simply stated: "His uncle John just passed away from ALS, so I would appreciate it if you would help him with his stuff." Otto just being the smart aleck he was just said, "Okay, whatever."
Reggie was speechless. "This was his uncle's death! Have you had no heart or respect for him?" Otto replied, "Yeah, but I want to skate with him when he comes!" Two hours later, it was time to get Aaron from the airport. Reggie was the first one to greet him. She looked very shocked. This was not the same Aaron she once knew. "How are you, Aaron? I'm sorry about your uncle's death."
Otto could not keep his childish comments to himself. "Wow, Aaron, you sure put on a few pounds. You look like an ape now!" "Is that right?" Aaron had enough. He just beat down Otto. "Don't you ever say that! Let's go guys, I've had enough!"
