Chapter 3, A Second Chance At Life

(Third person POV)

10:25am, Febuary 4.

Roxanne decided to just hang around the house for a couple days, since her father wasn't going to be home, she should make the most of it. She was a little hung over from the drugs last night, but she was just a little tired and had a headache. She put her hair up in a high pony tail, but didn't put hari gel, or hari spray in it.

She was laying on the grayish-tan leather couch, watching P, B and J Otter and she remember something, I don't remember seeing my cell phone when I was going through my purse last night! She ran up the stairs, slipping and falling on one of them, but going right back up, I'm gunna get a bruise on that knee. When she arrived in her room, she looked through her purse, it wasn't there. SHIT!! Where the crap could it be?! She looked under her bed, in her dresser, she even looked under the bathtub. She looked everywhere in her house for it, but couldn't find it. Joy's gunna be pissed. Good thing my father doesn't know I have it.

10:28am Febuary 4.

Shadow is sitting up a tree, watching the families have picnics, play sports, etc. He looked to his right and saw a little glitter of silver in his eye. He jumped down the tree and walked over to the glitter. He bent down and picked it up. What the hell is this, it looks like some kind of phone, but it has no cord and its way too little, it-- The phone began to ring, it didn't sound like a normal phone ringing, the ring played the 'Mexican Hat' song. I gotta get it to stop! he began to press alot of buttons, and then the ringing stopped. I gotta find out who it belongs to. He finally got the hang of it, and the little screen showed on the phone said

Name: Roxanne Fisher

Home: 555-7028

Address: 2014 Friendship Street

Shadow thought Well, that was simple. At least I know how it belongs to. Shadow exitied the west side of the park, and looked at the green street sign, it said Friendship St. He gave a small half smile. He looked at the house in front of him and it said 2000. He went to the next, it said 2002, the next said 2004, etc, etc. Finally, he arrived at 2014 Friendship St. He cautiously went up to the door and knocked on it. There was no answer, he knocked on it again, still no answer. Shadow began to get annoyed, he started to bang on the door.

10:40am Febuary 4.

Roxanne was pacing around the iving room, smoking a cigarette to calm her. She put it out in the ashtray on the coffee table, and pulled out another. She usually smokes a pack a day, but she was down to her last 3 cigarettes, and it wasn't even noon. Finally, she heard someone banging on the door, she rolled her eyes and put her cigarette in her mouth and breathed in, and held it in, untill she got to the door.

She opened the door to see a very mad Shadow. When she saw who it was, she accidently blew the smoke in his face. Shadow turned his head and started to cough from the smoke. He turned back to her and said, "How do you do that?" She looked confused, "What?" He said, "You blew smoke out your mouth..." She laughed, "What, have you been sealed in a room for 50 years?" "Yes." "Oh, (smacks herslef on her head) I forgot, so why are you here?" He pulled the cell phone out of no where and extended it for her to take it. She looked like she won a million dollars, "YOU FOUND IT!!!!" Out of the blue, she bent down and gave him a hug, Shadow felt a little akward, and then a flashback flooded his mind.

9:25pm Novemeber 27, 19#9

Thomas, Shadow, and Maria were on there way back to the apartment, when Thomas said, "Maria, did you really do it?"

"Yes.."

"Well, it was an accident, and you never leave messes, I'll let this slide.

Maria smiled and when Thomas looked away she hugged Shadow.

10:43am Febuary 4.

Shadow began to go limp in her arms and then tried to wriggle away. She took this as a sign, so she ended the hug. She said warmly, "Well, thanks for finding it. Where was it?" Shadow pointed to his tree in the park, "About 10 feet from there." Shadow stood there for a few more seconds, "Well, see ya." He turned to walk away and he started to cross the street.

Roxanne felt a little bad, she knew he was just going to look in the garbage or something to find food. Well, father is away for a month, Joy is at work untill 9 at night. She said I could have a friend over, well, I'm gunna try and make a friend. Besides it cold out here, he'll freeze. She shouted across the street, "SHADOW!!!" Shadow turned around and looked from left to right, when he didn't see no one, he pointed to himself, meaning 'me?' She said playfully, "Yeah, you, ya nut!!" Shadow felt a little stupid and skated across the street, onto her porch, "What? Did I break something?" Roxanne said as-a-matter-of-factly, "Look, I know how you get food and live, so do you wanna come inside and have something to eat?" Shadow looked happy, but then his expression turned back to a normal, annoyed looking Shadow, he crossed his arms and said, "Do you have a gang in there waiting to beat the shit out of me?" She stepped outside, so he could see in the house, to see there was no one there, "No one's there, now come on."

She walked into her house knowing Shadow would follow, she lead him into the living room, "Wait here, I'm gunna make you something." Shadow turned on the TV and started to flick around the channels, he stopped on MTV and Crush 40 was on playing there song 'Live and Learn." Roxanne ran out of the kitchen and into the living room as fast as she dissappeared.

Live and Learn,

Roxanne was standing in the doorway mouthing the words.

Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,

Shadow looked at her, confused, God, people get crazy over music!

Live and Learn,

Roxanne knew he was looking at her. So, she stopped, "What?"

From the works of yesterday....

Shadow raised an eyebrow. She said, "What?! I love this band, they're my fav!"

She exited the room at that, and went back to making his food. After about 20-25 minutes, she returned and handed him a bowl filled with macaroni and cheese, she sat down and handed him a spoon. His eyes widened at this and looked at her. She looked confused, "What, is there a bug in it?" She looked over at it to see nothing wrong with it. Shadow always remembered his first meal, which was macaroni and cheese. He remember it being his favortie food, next to pizza. He begn to tear up and he slowly started to eat it. She saw his tears, "Shadow, whats wrong, does it taste bad?"He thought Uh-oh, I'm Mr. Tough-guy, gotta think of something, gotta think of something! He wanted to hide his tears, so he said, "Uhh, nothin', its just hot, it burned my tongue." Bra-vo (clapping). She looked at him as if he was retarded, "Damn, how could you destroy the earth if you can't even eat Mac & Cheese?" Shadow laughed, "Very funny."

She glued her eyes to the TV, and he looked at the right side of her face, she had a red mark, the shape of knuckles (a/n: Not knux the echidna you dum-dum, knuckles as in the things on your hand). He shrugged it off untill he saw a few bruises on her neck, he slowly extended his hand to touch her bruises, she saw him and said, "What the crap are you doing?" He touched her bruise and she cringed, he whispered, "Who did that to you?" She didn't know what to say, she lied, "I, uh, I fell in the kitchen. She thought Thats one hell of a unique lie! Rock, m'dear, you suck! Shadow said, "Roxanne--" She stopped him, as said, as if it were an insult to call her by her name, "Don't called me that."

"What do I call you then?"

"Rock."

"Rock? Ok, Rock, why can't I call you by your name?"

"(quietly) Because he does.

"Who?"

"My father..."

Shadow immediatly got the message, her father beats her. Shadow said, "Where is he?"

"In the Bronx, on some business trip. He'll be back in a month."

Rock put her head in her hands, and looked up happily, changing the subject, "Enough about me, whats it like in space."

Shadow's ears fell flat againest his head, "Its cold, very cold.

Rock said, "Is this about that girl you were in love with?"

Shadow's head shot up so fast, it made Rock flinch, "What?! No! I wasn't in love! (laughing) She was my best friend, she was like a sister to me!"

6:14pm, Febuary 4.

Shadow and Rock were lounging on the couch, watching 'The Simpsons.' It was the episode when Mr. Burn's got shot, Part one. (Willie scottish and has a major scottish accent) Willie and Skinner were talking and Willie gets mad, "Thats the last time you slap you Willie around!" Rock started laughing hysterically, Shadow sat there wanting to laugh, but also wanting to be Mr. Serious. Rock noticed this, "Oh, c'mon, let it out!" Shadow started to laugh hysterically. She said, "There, now, don't always be serious, have a lil fun everyday!"

Shadow smiled, he had made a new friend. Unbeknowist to him, he didn't think about Maria once in over 6 hours.
