Deacon's Pov
Staying with Uncle John and Aunt Ashley has been really good for me. I really don't know what is wrong with me but I feel like just another person in a crowd even in my whole family. Before when I was playing football they went to every game but now I'm just another useless kid sponging off of my parents. Now I'm lost and I don't know if I'll ever be able to find myself again. I've been addicted to pain killers for months now and nobody seems to notice or care. I've been clean for about 2 weeks since I've been here and I've met a girl who I think I might be in love with. If my father were here he'd tell me i wasn't in love but look at him he says that he has known the he loved my mother since he was 10.
"Deacon sweetie" Ashley said. With that I was pulled out of my thoughts back into the real world which I so desperately want to leave behind.
"Yeah" I said turning to face her. I had been staring out the window.
"Just wanted to let you know that dinner is ready" she said with a smile. My aunt always had a smile on her face it was like nothing could be wrong in the world. It calmed me it made me think maybe things weren't all bad.
"Thanks I'll be out in a minute" I replied.
Things were a little hectic around here because next week my aunt and uncle were going to get their newest son Cage Anthony Cena. You see after Connor their oldest son was born Ashley found out she couldn't have anymore children so they went the adoption route and that is how they got Joey. I went out to have dinner Uncle John is on the road so it was just the four of us.
"Deacon after dinner wanna play a video game?" Connor asked
"Sure little man" I said
"Deacon are you feeling ok you look a little flush?" Ashley asked feeling my forehead.
"You are running a fever" she said
"I'm ok" I replied
"You are shaking" she said
Then I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Ashley came in and rubbed my back.
"What is wrong?" she asked
"Sarah" was all I said before I blacked out.
