Chapter 1
Robby's POV
Running for my life
"AHHHH!!!! get away from me" I yelled as i ran down the street running away from my pursuer i had no idea who they were or what they wanted with me but i knew it wasn't a good thing that they wanted. I knew where i was running to because that was the only other safe place although it was all the way across the town so I was glad that i was about to enter the huge sub division that my girlfriend lived in i knew that once i got there i would be safe because this person wouldn't really be so obsessed about me enough to go into the house. "This isn't the time to daydream Robby!" I yelled to myself my name was Robby and almost everybody at the school knew my name i was a very social kinda guy I'm in eighth grade and my school was made up of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Shelby who is my girlfriend is in the seventh that might be why im so popular in the 7th grade but I'm just rambling now i was running for my life and i was daydreaming .Actually i did alot of that quite often but lets not get into that i'm sure you want to hear about the chase scene. Well i was about to get onto Shelby's road when my pursuer yelled "STOP!!!"
"WHY!!!" i replied angrily this person had pursued me before this wasn't the first time and the only reason why i was going to Shelby's was because i knew someone was there but also i wanted to know what this person wanted from me.
"Its about your dad!!!" THAT stopped me dead in my tracks my pursuer almost ran past me i was in front of Shelby's house now i had two inside and be safe with Shelby 2. Take my chances and talk to my pursuer to see what they had to say. Well anyone who knows me would know that I had been grieving over my dad for quite some time. You see he is/was *cringe* in the army and we hadn't heard about him for some time so I HAD to know what he had to say so i stopped. Then i heard the worst part of it "and about your mom!" my mom wasn't doing so well keeping herself and i alive she normally didn't have any money for groceries and that was with my dads pay check from the army. Times were definitely rough "I'm glad you finally stopped...but what I have to tell you isn't good news" i knew my heart stopped I had to take a deep breathe to start it again. He continued "Your parents have decided that it would be best that they left you with someone else its, as you know, a very difficult time for everybody and your parents are very sorry to have to do this they just don't want to hold you back from your full potential by not being able to supply you with all that you want and need" By this point i was about to cry although i normally don't cry i can be very sensitive sometimes "However" He continued." They did say that you could pick who you wanted to stay with I'm afraid that's the only good news i can give you...."
My dad was in the army he thought me how to be tough i took a deep breathe wipped the tears away from my eyes and said " I'm staying her with the most amazing person ever" She was the most amazing person ever i couldn't get over it she was everything to me. He saw that i was serious and could tell i was my fathers son he could see the confidence i just carried around where ever i went and did like running away from someone. Then he said something that just broke through everything and made me cry so hard.
"Your father would be very proud of the man you've become" and at that point I didn't care who he was i just hugged him i wrapped both of my arms around him and just started sobbing i couldn't hold it back anymore. I had spent all of my live trying to help my mom and make my father proud of my which was very hard to do since he was a field general but to hear that just made me break down. I had no idea what it made me feel like just the fact that i knew i would've made him proud made me so happy but when i start to cry my emotions truly come out all the ones that i hold in and cover up and burry deep into my heart. By then Shelby had seen my out there hugging him and when she came out there he back away from me sheepishly then i had to tell Shelby i could see the hidden smile in her eyes when i told her i was going to stay with her
"I love you baby" she said and i just wrapped my arms around her and spun her around she just knew what to say at the perfect times" If you want me to I'll listen I'm here for you forever and ever" that did it i just couldn't resist anymore I had to kiss her so i did we had been kissing for quite some time and every time i kissed her time slowed down my heart started to race and my breathes got much shorter
"I love you too" I said beamingly
