Author's Note: These are six shorts, six looks into six different time periods of Sands' life as it conisides with my Blood Series. This gives little clues into what's going to come up in Blood in the Snow, and Blood in the Water. ;) All but shot six is pre-movie. Shot Six is post and the only reference to Cerise.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sheldon Jeffrey Sands. He belongs to his respected creators. I just keep the muse. ;)
I don't own any of Nickleback's songs used here. I just really enjoy their music, and obivously, my muse does too.

He was perched on the roof over his room, in the warm Texan night. Two floors below him, in the dinning room, he could hear the arguing, the breaking of glass.

He sighed, leaning back on the shingles and looking up at the slowly appearing stars, as he listened to his mother and her boyfriend aruging. The boy friend that wanted to 'teach' Sheldon how to be a man. "Fuck you." Sheldon muttered with a sneer.
He wanted to go HOME! Real home, back with his father, and brothers and sister. But there were only two ways out of this one.
He ran his hand through his dirty sable hair, pushing the long bangs out of his face, fingering the bruise under his left eye, as he drew a long drag off the cigarette.
Two ways out.
"Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child,With a temper
Haven't you heard, "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass, Would be a pleasure."
