i can see me, i can see me. living just like clara
Massie Elizabeth Block was ten. She was only ten years old when he died. She was shocked, yes, she was very shocked. She had heard the stories of people with cancer but never expected for it to affect her in such a big way. She wouldn't believe. She wouldn't let herself believe it. She refused to attend the funeral, denying the death. What else do you expect from a nine year old.
She only wanted one thing in live, to be a star. To be on the big screen and show everyone that she was amazing. She didn't care about love or starting a family, the only thing that mattered was fame. Marilynn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Judy Garland were her idols. She was going be like them, that was certain to the girl.
I wanna live the life of an outlaw, i wanna be like billy the kid
Derrick Harrington was one of those farm boys. He wasn't rich, he didn't get any special treatment. He was just a kid trying to get by. A kid that was trying to make his own dreams come true. His parents didn't care, they just wanted to get by and make their kids life easier. He didn't like doing the farm chores, the only thing that made the life worth it was the rifle.
It was his father's and was to be used for security and to kill animals when the time came. His parents hated when he used it, always shouting at him. One day, he was shooting around and killed a chicken. His mother wasn't happy, but he didn't care. that gun felt good in his hand, made him feel powerful. Made him feel useful. It made him feel alive.

Massie wasn't happy, oh, she was furious. And at the age of thirteen, what do you expect? Her mother was tearing her from the life she had known and loved. She was forcing her to move to Westchester, to live with her grandma. Massie wasn't going without a fight.
"Mama, why do we have to go?" Massie asked as the two carried their suitcases to the bus station. Kendra sighed before stopping and turning to her daughter.
"Darling, you know we don't have much money. Ever since your father died, things have been hard. Your grandmother has been kind enough to take us in," Kendra said.
"But mama, you said we'd move to California," Massie pleaded, but her mother cut her off before she could continue.
"Massie, stop, get your head out of the clouds and come back to Earth. Now, wait here while I grab our tickets," her mother has said before walking off. As soon as she was out of sight, Massie put her suitcase down and sat on it, lifting up her navy dress and pulling a cigar from her stocking.
As she smokes, she thinks about the wonderful things that could be waiting out there in Hollywood, just waiting for her. "One day, I'll be there".

He had done it. Derrick had finally started to be like one of those outlaws. Sure, he wasn't robbing a bank, but it was something. He had stolen a bike that was outing front of the old ice cream parlor. He had almost gotten away, if that deputy hadn't been around and caught him, dragging him home. His parents had pleaded with the deputy, wanting him to get off with a free pass. But the deputy wouldn't have it.
"Please deputy, he's just a boy. You can't send him to jail," his mother pleaded.
"I can't send him to jail, but I can send him to a juvenile detention center," the deputy said and Derrick took that moment to step into the conversation.
"It'd be better then this shit shack we're living in," he said as the deputy grabbed him and brought him to the detention center.
can you see me, the main attraction at the picture show
Now at the age of twenty-one, Massie was still in Westchester. She was still living with her Grandma and she was still unhappy with her life. She was currently working at a local diner, saving up all her tips so that one day she can get out of that hell hole. She was still dreaming of Hollywood, of fame, and of fortune.
capon was just like me when he started, some guy. he made it big and so will i
Derrick was sitting in the jail cell, having been found guilty of auto theft with his close friend Cameron Fisher. He didn't mind it, he was used to it. He'd practically grown up in these sort of cells. He would be here for long, he'd get out. He always did.
