It's lonely. Why I'm I alone? Mama, papa, grandpa why did you leave me? Did you not like me? Mama died so I can't remember her. Papa abandoned me and grandpa is hardly around. He's to busy with work and only comes around at least once a year.
Everyone in the village hates me. The other kids want me dead and the adults only think of me as a trouble maker kid who doesn't belong there. Makina is nice but I know she is only showing pity towards a low life child as me.
I walk into my lifeless dull room just like me. My eyes have black circles under them and skin pale. Grandpa spoils me rotten but I hate all the toys he sends me over the years. I remember when I loved them. Now I can't even stand to look at them. I stuff them into another room hiding them away.
My whole house is dusty because no one's here to clean it beside me but I can't find a reason to care. I'm only 7 but life is just to much to handle anymore. I need to get away from it now. Yes away from this world that rejected me from the day I was born.
I grab the knife I had kept for this day. I sit on my broken down bed I also hated like everything else in my life. The cool blade of the knife was placed against the skin of my throat. I close me eyes I have no thought of turning back when I hear a voice. "Hey!"
A voice a boy like me voice but sounded a little older maybe three or two I don't know. My curiosity was to much so I opened my eyes and a boy stood in front of me. He wore a blank white arm less shirt and some normal shorts. I stayed quiet to busy thinking.
"Hey! Listen you!" I snap back to reality and stare at him. "What do you want?" His face turns into anger. "What do I want? I want to stop you dumb ass!" I'm shocked at his sudden blow out and my face shows it but my expression soon turns back into a calm bored face.
"Stop me? Why would you do that?" His face doesn't change as he barks back at me. "Shut up you dumb shit!" I almost smile at him but it turn out to be a sideways smirk. I let out a broken laugh and his face turns into confusion. "What are you laughing at?" He asks.
"Nothing just that I can't agree more with how your explaining me right now and your a total stranger." He looks at me with concern but hides it and try's to look angry but he has a blush across his face. His arms cross and he turns his head to the side. His eyes close shut while he speaks.
"Yo- you know what? Don't listen to what I say when I talk like that! I'm just a big dummy, K?" His one eye that I can see opens and stares at me. I can't help but let out a little chuckle. I smile at his, a real happy smile. I can't believe this I haven't smiled like this in years.
"So what's your name?" He asks and I think about it for a second. "Luffy I'm Luffy." I feel different than before. A different I can't explain.
I drop the knife to the floor landing with a loud clang. I don't really mind and I see the boy walking out the door. "ACE!" I don't know how but somehow I know that this is his name. He stops and turns to me. "Yeah Luffy?"
"Nothing just felt like saying your name." He smiles at me and I smile back. "Idiot!" His arm reaches out to me and pulls me in his other hand ruffling my hair. We laugh and grin. Weird even though he just insulted me I don't feel bad.
I feel happy by it actually. Weeks go by and grandpa send us away. Somewhere within the forest to live with someone named Dandan. The adults here don't question my friend.
"Luffy were brothers right?" Ace asks and I think about it and answer. "Yeah we were always brothers silly why ask now?" He has this expression that shows he remembers. "Yeah your right. Okay lets go play somewhere!"
I watch as he runs away somewhere and I start to run following after him. He likes it when it's just us alone. We always play together everyday. He gets us in a lot of trouble.
Like we go steal or break things in town. I always say he did it and the adults would pretend to get mad at Ace. I never understood why they would look off to the side or a little above Ace when talking to him. He says that there just being silly.
We found a new brother his name is Sabo he's kind. Ace even likes him but Sabo makes a weird face when talking to Ace. Ace says he's just screwing around with us.
I believe him like usual Ace can't be wrong. He's my big brother how can he be wrong? A few years pass and I'm 10 now, Sabo and Ace are 13.
People get me mad. They say things like Ace isn't real or there but Ace is always here. He will always be by me side forever. I mean were brothers and brothers are suppose to stay together. He can't leave me alone like the rest.
No not like mama, papa or grandpa either. I need Ace to stay with me. I can't live with out him he's mine. We were together since we were born. I remember everything. I remember when we were young playing with the toys grandpa sent us.
We waited together for them to arrive. We always loved them. Sabo stopped hanging around with us. He said stuff about Ace not being real. I can't believe Sabo! I thought he was my brother! Ace said just to forget it and move on though. I love Sabo but I can't leave Ace.
Dadan and everyone in that house is also trying to tell me this but I don't believe them. Grandpa is telling me Ace is not real. Why? Why...? WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO TAKE MY BIG BROTHER AWAY?!
I hate everyone and so does Ace. He says we don't need them. We only need each to survive no adults. I believe in Ace because I love him. That's why were going to run away together! Yes will run somewhere we can be together alone and with no one to bother us.
I'm 13 now and Ace is 16 were ready to leave now. Ace said to hide him and pretend he didn't exist. He said if I didn't I would have been taken away. Away from him somewhere I would have had to sit alone in a room full of white plain walls.
I hate being alone so I listen. People around me think I have forgotten about Ace but Ace is always hiding somewhere I can still see him. So I don't have to worry he'll always be there. I also can't make any friends because Ace says so.
He said there only be nice to me just until they get close enough to me so they can find him. Once they do I'm gone. Ace is wonderful, Ace is everything to me, I love Ace. It's night now everyone is asleep in the house so it's time to leave.
I pack my clothes and Ace says he's fine. I once questioned where he got his clothes but he got angry so I don't ever try to question him. Were somewhere in the forest and I don't even know how long we walked for.
"Ace where are we going? I'm hungry and tired!" I whine and he chuckles at me. "Don't worry Luffy We'll find somewhere to rest for the night I think we walked long enough." I smile at him and nod my head yes.
We sleep and the next day to hunting. Ace always makes me do it saying it's training to protect us from other people. People who try to separate us. He says he's already strong enough so he doesn't have to. I believe him of course I always do.
Another 2 years have past and I'm now 15 and Ace is 18. We made a house in a big tree! We have been living there for the 2 years. No one has come around and I like it that way. I love Ace so much.
Were walking threw the forest right now. Ace is going on about how much he loves this forest. Ace freezes solid still and I'm to busy worrying about him I don't notice the large tiger ready to attack me. "ACE?! ACE? WHAT'S WRONG?! Come one this isn't funn-" Before I could finish I feel a sharp attack to my side.
Blood is dripping out and I feel confusion rush over me. Where's Ace? Why didn't he stop it? Why isn't he here now?! Why didn't he protect me?! My mind is trying to figure out where my lovely Ace is so I still don't care about the tiger.
He attacks again and I feel the harsh reality hit me again. I let out a deadly scream of pain. "AAAAACCCCCEEEEE!?" I start to cry tears pouring down my cheeks.
I lay on my side trying to stop my bleeding wounds. "Ace? Ace help me. Ace please please please! PLEASE ACE! I'm scared! I'm so scared! I need you to be by my side!" My voice sounds desperate and lost.
"Ace ace ace ace ace ace!" The tiger is about to pull the death blow when he's flung sideways. Flying away and I'm even more confused. Did Ace come save me? "Ace is that you?" I say my voice full of broken hope. I still couldn't see him.
"Ace come one stop playing hide-n-seek!" I force my arms to push my body up. I stand up shaky trying to search for Ace with my eyes when I hear a voice from be hind me. "Luffy!" I turn quickly around hoping the voice was Ace's but all I see is a guy standing there.
Blonde hair and a top hat that's when I realized who it was. "Sa- sabo...?" I ask out. "Yeah Luffy it's me." I stare at him for a second but turn away again still searching for Ace. I try to ignore that pain but my vision is going blurry. I cough out some blood and my knees give out sending me to the ground.
Sabo runs to my side and sits me up leaning on him. He takes off his coat trying to cover my wounds with it. "I need to fi- find Ace..." I try to get out of his grasp but he pulls be back. "Dammit Luffy I thought by now you would be past all that!" His angry voice echoed threw my head.
"I can't...I can't leave Ace or I'll be alone again!" My vision blacks out but I hear him shouting to stay awake. Soon my hearing is gone to.
Okay I love this a lot. I'm going to make a second chapter soon...probably. Hope you enjoyed it!
