Leo was sitting on the deck rocking back and forth thinking about his life, words falling from his lips.

"Mama..."

(age 7)

The moment she died. the flames he made killed her.

"Aunt Rosa..."

(age 8)

"Diablo" she screeched "That demon child killed my sister"

She looked at him with pure hate as she was dragged away.

"Lillie..."

(age 9)

They had run away from the foster home 2 months ago.

Now she was coughing up blood from the injuries she sustained running away from the police.

It's all my fault Leo thought as he held her up.

"Not your fault" Lillie chocked out, then her breathing stopped and her eyes closed.

He always knew she could read her mind.

"Micheal..."

(age 10)

The foster brother his foster father killed in front of him just to Leo cry

"Bella..."

(age 11)

Bella, his crush, his date to the dance, pushed up against the wall kissing Laurence, the school bully, Leo's tormentor.

He ran, that was the first time he cut himself.

"Alice...My sparkle..."

(age 12)

Her face looked up to him as he packed to run away again.

She wouldn't stop him , but she would wonder why he left.

"why are you leaving big brother" with those words he felt his heart break a bit more.

"Teresa.."

(age 13)

The beatings seem to last longer each time, he ate some food so the belt had been brought out to make sure he didn't do it again."

"Family..."

(age 14)

He protected her as long as he could.

He curled his small frame around her smaller one as he cried.

"Friends..."

(age 15)

A girl burst into his room and walked up to him.

It was his first week at his new school.

"who are you newbie, what's your crime?" she asked not cruelly as he expected, but somewhere between kind and curious.

"I'm Leo " he replied "I'm a runaway foster child, that the government got tired of." she smiled

"I'm Piper, I stole to may things and the court got tired of it." she smirked " you'll fit right in with us'

"Why"...

(half an hour ago)

"he always acting off" Leo heard as he pasted the gallery

" I know" someone replied " and he looks so much like Sammy but he's not"

Leo felt his heart plummet, they were talking about him.

" He terrifies me with his fire"

"He's always acting off"

"I think he doesn't take anything seriously"

Leo didn't want to hear anymore, he ran past the gallery straight up the stairs onto the deck and that is where he is now.

" The bloody stupid, useless, seventh wheel" He stood on the rim of the ship and looked at his camera's.

" Dining hall" he spoke clearly

They could see him now he thought as he balanced.

"Read my journal and know I heard you" he heard screams downstairs and let himself fall.

My journal with my entire past the one thing I kept with me my entire childhood.

Did he hit the water or not?

You tell me

Does Leo die or does someone save him.
