Hello again everyone :) I am back! WOOHOO!
I know I got a lot of reviews to do a sequel to my Highschool to the Maximum, and that will definitely happen, but for right now, I wanted to right another cliché story. Yes I know. BUT we all love clichés!
I really hope you all like it and review it up! I love you all :3 enjoy :D
Disclaimer: I'm not James Patterson. So sad.
This is all going to be in Max's POV
Chapter 1
When everything's meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.
To sum up my life in one word it would be pain. Not the pain that a normal child would experience, the simple scrape of the knee. How I'd long for pain to be that simple, that harmless.
The pain I deal with came from people stronger, more powerful than me. It came from the people I thought loved me. It came from my parents.
Jeb and Maria, who loved me until I was 10. Then everything changed. And I always thought that it was all my fault. I would torture myself with the knowledge that it was something I did that made Mommy cry, Daddy drink, and the screaming at night. I always thought that it was my fault that Daddy beat mommy.
And then Mommy left. She left me. "Daddy" became unresponsive, which I learned was better than when he was focused, because I'd pay for it.
He started out just with punching and kicking. If I screwed up, or did something badly, I'd have to pay. This went on until I was 14. I taught myself karate, martial arts, and how to protect myself, even if I couldn't from my father. I learned how to use foundation and cover up at age 11, and how to conceal the pain by the time I was 12. I'm now 17, and this is my story of survival, self-confidence, and getting help even when I thought I was too far broken to be repaired.
Not only did I have to deal with the physical abuse at home, I dealt with verbal abuse at school. Yes that's right.
The tough Maximum Ride was bullied.
And yet, I learned over time that life is a journey, and that our hardships make us stronger. But they don't define who we are, they simple help us learn.
So here's my story, won't you listen?
Yeah I know it's not much, but it's the intro, so what do you expect? :) I really think ya'll are going to like this one. Review it up for ideas, suggestion's and shenanigans like that.
The quote used at the beginning is from the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Everyone has the potential to be something. To do something great. Don't let what other people have to say keep you from doing what you love. Stay true to yourself.
I'll be updating soon since I start summer vacation in 3 days! But I'm going away so no internet until the end of June :( sorry! I'll try and update Tuesday before I leave.
Peace out :3
