I woke up to the light flooding in through the apartment, I blinked trying to adjust to the sudden light. I grabbed my phone and looked at what time it was "10:28".Shit I was missing dance practice, Alicia was going to be PISSED.I groaned and sat up not wanting to go knowing I have a big steaming plate of pissed off Alicia waiting for me.I sat up and didn't even bother putting my knee pads back on,I left my dance bag knowing Alicia probably wasn't going to let me dance today but it worth a shot.

I walked across town the knot in my chest growing after each familiar building I passed led me to knowing I was a step closer to Alicia's Rath. When I walked in Alicia was leading them to a new routine that sounded like Britney spears I wanna .When she spotted me she smirked and turned off the boom box obvisoly want the whole crew to see and hear her chew me out."Well well well look what the cat dragged in"Alicia snickered as she flipped her Brown bangs across her face. Alicia wasn't that great looking. She wasn't Ugly but not much to look at. She had shoulder length dull brown hair and hazel also had a slapt of freckles over her nose that looked gray on her pale skin.

"Your clock must have been having a GLITCH, because your late!"Alicia spat at me. Whenever I heard that name. Glitch it made my hate grow for her even more. The Sk8Rs obediently laughed and it took all my pride.I didn't say anything at first,I gulped and said" I know". She scowled an evil look at me."I sure hope your not expecting to join us today since you almost 4 HOURS LATE!I even told you to come early!"She growled.I didn't have the guts to say anything."WELL!Have anything you want to say to me and

MY CREW?".

I don't know what came over me but when she said'my crew' I exploded."ITS NOT YOUR CREW ITS STEPHENS!"I screamed at her making everyone fall silent. Nobody not even Stephen dared to scream at Alicia. Not that Stephen was afraid of her or anything because he wasn't,he just wouldn't scream at looked taken back before she got her bitchyness back in her "WELL YOU KNOW WHAT!STEPHEN IS DEAD!GET IT!DEAD!AND HE IS NAWT COMING BACK SO FORGET ABOUT IT!"Alicia whipped her head around to look at the Sk8Rs crew "THAT GOES FOR YALL TOO! IM SICK OF HEARING 'oh I miss Stephen!' and 'Stephen was a better leader!'.SO YOU BETTER GET IT OUT OF YO SYSTEM BECAUSE STEPHEN IS THE PAST AND I AM NOW!"She stomped her foot once before contuining "STEPHEN WAS FUCKING WEAK!HE NEVER SAID WHEN YOU WOULD MESS UP AND SPOILED ALL OF YALL! HE WAS WEAK AND A SAP THAT NEVER DESERVED TO BE Sk8RS LEADER!"She screamed her white face actually turning red.

You know what happened? I snapped and all the hate I felt for Alicia spilled out for everyone in the studio to see."SHUT UP SHUT UP!YOUR ACTING LIKE A SPOILED BRAT!"I screamed at her which made her look back at me and stomped over to me so we were face to face."WHAT did you just call me!"She yelled.I felt no fear and continued."IM SICK OF YOU NOT GIVING A DAMN WHETHER STEPHEN WAS DEAD OR ALIVE! YOU TALK ALL HIGH AN MIGHTY BUT YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE EVEN THE WORST DANCER IN THIS ROOM IS BETTER THEN YOU WILL EVER BE!"I screamed feeling my face turn red. Alicia face dropped and her mouth hung open but nothing was coming I wasn't not yet,for all the suffering she put me through for the last 3 years I didn't want her speechless."AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE!"I screamed in her face. She said nothing."I QUIT YOU MOTHER FUCKING BITCH!"I screamed pulling one of my elbow pads and throwing it across the room. I satred at her a bit savoring the shock,hurt,sad,mad,and pathetic look on her face but I turned towards the door throwing one of my knee pads on the floor and slammed the door behind me.

I still had on one of the elbow pads and knee pads but I didn't give a damn about something shitty like that right now.I threw the Sk8Rs hat I had on somewhere over a fence and wanted to take off my shirt that had the sk8rs logo on it but that was the only shirt I had. I looked back at the studio and wondered if I ever did that to Stephen would he chase after me and tell me he was sorry and couldn't ever go on without me, like I couldn't go without him? I felt tears spring to my eyes as I looked forward knowing I had to go without him. I walked by the ice cream stand he always used to take me to, when Alicia made me feel like Shit. I then saw the younger me and him, as he handed me an ice cream cone and take off my cap and ruffle my hair like he used to always do. Tears started to spill as I walked past it trying to avoid the flashbacks coming on.

But ignoring it was useless. I walked past the park and saw me and Stephen sitting on the bench talking and laughing.I looked away and saw a tree that me and Stephen aways used to climb. I saw me getting stuck on a high branch and him climbing to come get me.I Ran past the park Tears spilling out of my eyes quickly. I looked at the Skater shop and saw me and him walking out with the new Sk8Rs Uniform,I looked to the other side of the sidewalk and saw me and him dancing with his boom box. I actually started bawling as I ran down the street with people staring at me. Not everyday where you see a 14 year old boy wearing half of skater stuff bawling. I ran down the street and ran into an alley "WHERE ARE YOU!"I sobbed looking in the alley. I Sobbed even harder as I ran out of the Alley and into the train yard. Stephen wasn't anywhere. I could search this whole planet twice and I couldn't find him anywhere. Without thinking I hopped onto a open traincart that was passing by and crawled into the corner and sobbed. I didn't know where this Train was going but I didn't care.

I needed to get away, From Alicia, from the Sk8rs from New york but more importantly

I needed to get away from Stephen.

I had an amazing dream about Stephen, It was a world where he wasn't dead, There was no Sk8Rs,no Alicia, and no Venom. It was a very long dream but not long enough because I woke up. I almost started crying when I realized Stephen was dead especially for a little while I was convinced he was still alive. I rubbed my eyes and looked outside,I gulped an my eyes widend. I defiantly wasn't in New York anymore. I stepped out and looked around trying to figure out where the hell I was.

I eventually found my way out of the train yard and followed up a path under a Highways aways go somewhere right?And I was right but I was way farther then I ever expected I would be.I Almost fainted when I saw a Shop that said "California goods",and a hotel that said "Sunny California Hotel".I hardly could believe it and I felt my heart sink.I couldn't have slept on the train cart that long!I just slept the whole ride RIGHT ACROSS THE FUCKING COUNTRY! I mean I didn't even know that was possible! Did I really by will make myself stay asleep so I could be with Stephen? It didn't seem possible. That's when I dropped to my knees and finnaly realized what happened."I left new York because on a wim,and jumped on a train where I didn't even know where the hell was going.

Forced myself to stay asleep for almost 24 hours and now I ended up here in California with litterly NOTHING. At least in New York I had Stephens apartment and the sk8Rs but here it was different. And I mean it when I say it. I had nothing.
