Chptr 2: A Way from the Pain
They were on the bus, still talking."Why doesn't anyone like me?" Jeremy asked."I've never done anything wrong to deserve all the bullshit I get everyday!No one understands me.Just because I'm an artist and I don't feel like talking all the time, everyone ignores me, hates me, there was this one day my jacket was covered in spit!What do I have to do to be respected?""Just give it some time, Jeremy." replied Tommy."I'm your friend.""Yeah."said Jeremy."I'm glad to have someone like you stick up for me.Hey, do you want to come to my house this evening?I have a bitch-load of homework!""Wish I could," said Tommy.", but I'm going to the movies with Chuckie and them.""Shit!" mouthed Jeremy. The bus stopped."Well, c-ya!" Tommy said as he left."Bye, Tommy!" replied Jeremy.
Tommy and Dil were walking to the front door of their house."Why are you talking to that looser?" asked Dil."He's not a looser!He's just different." replied Tommy."Yeah!Different!snickered Dil."Shut up, Afro Tan!" yelled Tommy."At least HE didn't shoot up the school like your friend did!"They walked in the front door, unloading their backpacks.
At dinner, Tommy asked his parents why people like Jeremy are always treated so badly."You mean that kid with straight +A's in art class?" Stu said."Yeah." replied Tommy."I can't see why anybody would want to pick on him!Maybe Jeremy can give you some lessons!" suggested Didi."I think I do just fine." scoffed Tommy."Sure you do!You've mastered the stick figure!" joked Dil.
It was morning.Tommy was walking down the school hallway.He glanced at all the paintings Jeremy did.He was widely known by the principal for them.A few minutes later, he was sitting in homeroom.Jeremy walked in the doorway, handing the teacher an apple."Why thank you, Jeremy." she said.Then he just stood there, facing the class, and he took out a pistol.He pointed the end towards himself and he pulled the trigger.
There was an early dismissal that day.Tommy invited all his friends over at his house to calm eachother's pain.The news came on about what happened.The reporter said,"A tradjedy has taken place at the local high school.14-year-old Jeremy Miryon commited suicide in front of his classmates." The TV was tuned off.
