Chapter 6 : a painful past
"Now i will tell akihiro kazuya or lincoln get a nickname as a mad dog "
"Wait a minute. Why do you know his real name?" Clyde said with an angry expression.
"I already knew him before he was adopted. I wanted to ask you. did he ever kill someone? "
"Why are you asking about that?" Clyde said, pointing at ken.
"Because I heard bad rumors about him. I have friends who come from royal woods. my friend said he had killed someone when he was 6th grade elementary school is that true? "Ken said with a serious face.
"He did not kill anyone ken" said clyde with a serious face too.
"What do you mean ?"
"It's all a misunderstanding. what your friends tell you it doesn't fit into reality. "
"Okay then..why are you defending him clyde?"
"Because, I see everything on that day ken. He is not involved in any case. He is also innocent."
"Okay clyde after I told him how he got his nickname as a mad dog. I want you to tell me about lincoln's past. "
"Okay agree."
Ken picked up a cigarette ashtray and started smoking. clyde has been told that this will be long. Clyde wants to know what lincoln has gone through all this time. If clyde asks lincoln about his past, maybe lincoln will not answer him because he is afraid that his best friend from childhood does not accept him anymore.
"Well clyde I'll take you to 3 years ago. I want you to not bother me when I tell his past."
three years ago
At that time, this city was filled with a delinquent that did not know what they were doing. This city was also filled with people who rotten. This city is a nest of thugs or a delinquent who do not see the light of happiness. the average of this scum is 15 years old. they are still very young. sometimes, there are also murder cases for foolish reasons. but, the presence of lincoln changed it all.
The school in here is also the same. The school in here is filled with the turmoil of young people. At first the age of 15 is the age where we seek our identity. In this city many children think that they are the strongest people in this city. the strongest person here is the person who wins his physical strength. Although like that, not all the delinquent in here are not rotten. there are some scum who have become adults here. many people say that they are rotten people and useless. but not everyone is like that. people choose the wrong path because they want to look cool or want to be seen as the ruler of this city. even though in this city many great people but no one can unite this city. except for lincoln or akihiro is the only one people are uniting the city.
I was the only one who called him lincoln because I already knew him before he was adopted. We used to be in the same high both attend to kyouka high. Many people say that school is the last stop for troubled kids. But that is just a bad story from people about us as a graduate of that school. me and lincoln are two years apart. when i entered the school at the age of 15 i met lincoln again and he was 17 years old. our school is full of kids who believe they are the strongest in this city.
In our freshmen year we did not have the will to control the school but because some people there were confident and very confident to themselves. We always got fights because of the size of the lincoln big body. Because of that, we are both become the strongest people in that school and leader of freshmen. Lincoln is number 1 and I'm number never go into elementary school and junior high school but because he has a good brain like albert einsten or a scientist who has a high iq, he can go to school again without thinking of a primary school diploma or something like that. Besides his great body and physical strength, he once beaten up more than 100 people without weapons and without any help. First of all we feel foolish about what we do but we know that this is how our school rolls. We are pursuing freedom not wanting to be the strongest person in the town screw with all of that.
Because lincoln has a brain that is as good as his physical strength he is nicknamed as mad dog in this city. Not only that, lincoln also earned the nickname as rocket and the get the rocket nickname because he can jump more than 5 meters while the fat-man people take that name from the atomic bomb. The fat-man's nickname is not because he has a fat body but because of his strength. Because of his huge body and great physical strength he earned his nickname as the fat-man in the city He is a very feared man when he is angry. But people call him a mad dog anywhere.
He is like a legend in this city. Even though he has many scary nickname, he is a happy person, has a great charisma to anyone, polite and carefree to anyone. He always helps the people around him without expecting to get anything. He always donate his money to the orphanage. that's why do not judge people from appearance. you can take example from 's true,he has a spooky nickname but he has a heart of gold.
He also made some delinquents in this city realize of what they do. That's why he's like a legend in this city. He managed to unite this city when in the second year of our school. All schools in this city want to make alliance and make him as the boss in this city but lincoln reject he does not want to be a boss of wants to make them become a men. He teaches us all to seek our own light of happiness, to be the proper man and how important the family in your life. Because of that,many people in the city this becomes a successful person
"No matter you are a hooligan,delinquent,gangs or a bad people. If you make your mother cry you can not call yourself as a man. If you want a great fight take the consequence and do not revenge. Be who you are. Do not be a sad person idiot .
Im sorry.I do not want to be the emperor, the boss or the leader of this city. It's none of my business. I want to help everybody if possible jews, islam, christians, blacks, white all kinds of religions and all kinds of races.
I want us all to help each other. Humans are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We do not want to hate and hate each other. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost direction.
Greed, social status, money has poisoned the souls of men. That's why we all blinded and barricaded the world with hatred. Blood spills here and there, murder here and there, oppression of innocent people here and there. we need humanity. More than intelligence, we need goodness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will become violent and everything will be lost.
I do not care if you listen to these words or not , if you're going to fight, make sure you have a good reason to do so! The more useless shitty battle you fight, the more of useless shitty man you'll become!. Look for the light of your own happiness. Be a man. take care of both your parents. take care of your brothers or sisters,take care of your family.a beautiful life start with a beautiful family.
Do not care about people's words. People say that we can not achieve success because of our background or with all of are you. The answer to your life are all within should be thankful for what you have. you only live once because of that, make your life more meaningful than being a trash. "
I still remember those words. Those are beautiful words also become the motto of our life. They do not realize what they are making is just making their parents sad. At that time almost all the scums in this city cry. Three months after that incident .the city becomes more calm. in the third year, we realize we have to find a job. but we decided to become entrepreneurs. in the end our schoolmates almost all of them become a successful entrepreneurs. they are proud of what lincoln do to them. he gave a precious teaching of life. And our generation is known as the best generation and will not be forgotten by everyone.
Present.
"Well that's the story of mad dog clyde. I think he's better suited as a "great man"" Ken said to the clyde.
Clyde was surprised by what lincoln had been through so far. Kyouka's high school is a school that is famous for delinquents. But ken has the right point. Even though the school is full of delinquents but not everyone is like that. Clyde understands that place is the place where great people are. Clyde is not disgusted or afraid of lincoln right now but he is proud of lincoln now. Lincoln has always been a mockery material when he was a kid. he is also often bullied by his own sisters but is now different.
"Well clyde how do you think now. What do you think about lincoln now?" Ken ken to clyde
"Well ken. I'm not disgusted, scared or feeling like I do not want to be friends with him because he has a spooky nickname or because of his past. in fact, I'm proud of him. When he was a kid he was often harassed by people around him including his sister. The most important thing now for me is that he has become a great man "said Clyde to Ken with a proud expression.
"Well clyde now tell me his past. I wonder if he ever killed someone or not". Said ken to the clyde with a serious face.
"Well I will tell you his painful past. I want you to not bother me when I tell his past."
Clyde tells everything. He tells him that he is innocent and does not kill anyone. Lincoln just wants to take a knife from his friend. His friend wants to use the knife for attraction but lincoln thinks it is not safe so he tried to take the knife. but, there was one stupid person in the incident that caused this misunderstanding. because this man, lincoln was convicted of murder. This guy stumbled and pushed lincoln to the ground and by that time his knife was pierced to our friend. worse, many bad rumor saying that lincoln killed somebody but it was all a lie he did not make any mistakes. clyde was trying to find the one who caused this all but he only just met this guy for 5 minutes. he was wearing very closed clothes so clyde did not know what he looks like. clyde just remember his name is john. but, a lot of people in his place are named john. so all the evidence from him is all in vain.
The story is not over yet. Because I can not defend him or be a witness in that incident lincoln spent his elementary school graduation time in juvenile prison. While in juvenile prison none of his family members came or chatted with him. He already have a huge body since he was kid a lot of people were afraid of him because of his big body and his bad rumors. this misunderstanding is widespread that resulted in his life in royal woods destroyed. he was expelled from his own family because of this misunderstanding.
"I can only see him in pain. I am like a coward ken. I want to help him but no one trust me. I've been seen as a freak in my own city ken. "clyde to ken with an angry expression.
Ken feels sad about Lincoln's past. When ken asks about his native family, he always diverts the conversation. Now he knows, lincoln has been through painful moments since he was a that, lincoln had his injuries that could not be cured so he also has an emotional problem. he always thinks that this is his and ken can not imagine the painful times that lincoln passing. but now,he have adoption family who care for him as his own family. he has a family that love him for no matter what it is.
"Okay clyde * sniff * i do not know that he has a painful past. Thank you for talking about his past," ken ken cried.
"Yes ken should have told you about this earlier."
"Can I know whose his real family ?"
"You know luna loud? A Rockstar who was successful at a young age?"
"Oh I know her. I heard she has lincoln a member of her family?"
" is the third oldest sister of lincoln ken"
"Hmm..everything is clear now"
"What do you mean everything is clear?" Clyde to ken said with a puzzled expression.
"I used to work as a cleaning service on his stage luna loud. I always see lincoln kicked out by the luna family. I've also seen him beaten with guitar by luna. he always comes to her show but he always get beaten up by luna family i remember the words from the luna family is "go away you filthy human". his face is full of bandages always get spit by luna family but he smile back. I do not think a famous person like her does something like this to her own family members. "
Clyde did not believe what he was hearing. Indeed, Lincoln family drove him from his own family but beat and spit on his own family members. Everyone had their limit, clyde had reached where the boundary point was. he did not know that his family did such a nasty already feel disgusted with his native family and with a story from ken clyde already hated his family.
"Listen to me clyde. If you do not believe me, come with me later to the place where i work as a cleaning serviceman on her stage .now luna loud have a concert schedule here so prepare for it clyde. Lincoln will surely come there through the back door."
"Ok I come with you I need to see this by myself. before that, ken I want to ask you . does the lincoln adoption family know about his past? "
"I guess they do not know clyde. Maybe lincoln is scared if they find out."
"Afraid of what ken?"
"Fear that they would not accept lincoln in their family clyde"
Ken was right. Lincoln must have not told him about his past because he was afraid that they would not accept lincoln. But, they must know his past. Lincoln should not hide his past forever.
"I think. do they need to know about his past ken? "
"Okay clyde. Maybe we will tell this to his siblings 2 weeks ahead. Do not let lincoln know about this clyde agree?"
"agree."
At that moment,kenand clyde agree to tell Lincoln's past to his step sisters. Perhaps Lincoln will hate them but they must know.
At the loud house
"I'm sure they'll hiding something from me"
"Lily hurry up. We will miss luna concert" said lola to lily.
"Yes, lola. In a minute. "yelled lily to lola
To be continued
