The Fire in those Eyes

Part 1: Hiding from the Fire (Age 15-16)

Prologue: Who was Scott Summers?

Scott Summers had the perfect life. At 15, he was on the top. Athletic, smart, polite, popular. Nobody didn't like him.

He had a family who loved him: parents who he idolized, and a twelve-year-old brother—Alex—who adored him. His family wasn't the richest, but they had an average life. Samuel Summers, his father, was a doctor—dentist, as a matter of fact—and his mother, Charlene, taught at a university. They were never too busy to help him, and his brother was always eager as well.

At school, he was the MVP on the basketball team, and third best on the soccer team. He got A's and maybe an occasional B. He was polite to all his friends and teachers, which earned him extra points. Scott never said anything bad about anybody; and nobody said anything mean about him. That's why Scott had so many friends.

His best friend, Brian Madden, would die for him, as will be revealed literally, later. Brian wasn't the most well-liked of the students, but Scott didn't seem to care. He loved and trusted Brian like a brother, and Brian trusted him in the same way.

As you can see, Scott had everything he needed.

But one day, all he knew, and all he loved, was taken away from him.

Just because of one thing.

One. Thing.

It changed him forever.
