EHMAHGAWD THANK YOUS OOOO MUCH 4 ALL THE NICE REVIEWS :D! It seems like a lot of people hate Alicia :/ well I really cant hate her since I created her but I will say I did intend for her to be a cycotic bitch who everyone hates! :) Im glad its working out!*I actually 4got to save this chapter after I was done so im writing it all over again DX!*
I wondered the streets what the heck I was going to New York at least I had the sk8rs even though they hated my guts, at least I actually was one of them while here in California I really have Nothing. I thought about what I was going to do and how I was going to live…I wonder what Stephen would've done. Well actually he WAS in this position where he first moved to newyork!
When he was 15 he moved to New York with his parents who disappeared a little after that. Well one day he was dancing on the streets in one of those Sidewalk dance offs and the original SK8Rs leader Justin, asked him if he wanted to take over as Sk8Rs leader so Justin could focus on college. And It was always Stephens dream to have his own dance crew so he said yes….maybe that's what I needed to do. Form my own crew!...I could do it right? Yeah I could! I was an all around good dancer or a "Dance prodigy" Some might say. And I thought I was a fair person. I let Alicia mistreat me for 3 years before I cussed her out. And I had the same taste in music as Stephen who made amazing routines, I could do it! Now I had to think of a name….Not something used up like "Pimps" or "sk8rs".
It had to be original…but thinking of a new name is easier said than done. , all the names I thought of were pretty lame. I wondered what Name Stephen would have thought of if he was in the same my bad. He was but he just didn't have too. But I would rather make up my own crew then take over someone else's. Because I know its probably hard to accept a new leader. Like it was when trying to accept that Alicia was our new leader and that Stephen was gone. It was pretty rough all around. But I guess that didn't happen with Stephen, everyone loved Stephen. I never saw him mad or frustrated with anybody. Sure he might lose some patience but he would never show it.
Then as I was thinking of a name I suddenly felt really cold….even though it was perfect beach weather outside I started shivering, then without even thinking about I remembered something I forgot about a long time ago. It was when Stephen was still alive…
"Glitch can I tell you something about life?"Stephen asked me as he served me some spaghetti he cooked for me. I licked my lips at the delicious spaghetti in front of me and nodded before I dug in."Glitch you're going to face alot of challenges in life and at times you're not going to know what to do. But you have to remember that you're in control of what you do, don't do things for anybody else,….. wait that sounded weird, I mean do stuff for people but do it with your own free will, don't fell like your forced to do anything. Does that make sense?"Stephen asked a little confused of what he said."Not really" I answered wiping my face with the back of my hand. "Oh, um well basically just follow your heart, I know that sounds cheesy but it's really important, do things for others but don't do it just for them aight?"He concluded as he picked up his fork. "That still doesn't make sense "I pouted at my empty bowl. "It will as you get older" Stephen smiled and got up to refill my bowel before he even took a first bite of his own meal.
What did that mean? I still didn't get it, and why did I remember that all of a sudden? Well whatever I still needed to think of a name for my dance crew. Then…all of a sudden I felt that cold breeze again, call me weird but I followed it, I'm a sucker for stuff like that. And it wasn't scary! The breeze almost seemed….familiar if that makes any sense. I heard a faint song playing and followed it around a corner to see a street dance competition one of those where people randomly jump in the middle of the crowd and start dancing. I couldn't help myself so I pushed myself in the crowd. Nicki minajs "Super bass" was on its final chorus. After it ended I found myself being pushed in with 2 other guys. Ushers "Yeah" started to play, even though I didn't know what routine to do I just went with the flow doing what felt natural. I was such in the mood of the song I didn't realize that the 2 other guys had backed up in the crowd giving me some space. After I finished people started cheering and yelling" Another one!". I smiled as another Usher song came on. It was "Dj got us falling in love". I started doing what felt natural that I didn't even realize that another dude had joined me. I had to say we were doing good! I glanced behind me to see a Black tall dude. He was wearing a Flashy shirt with a Black hat and orange hoodie over it. I smiled real big at him even though he must have thought I was weird, but he didn't say that he smiled right back.
We were in sync, popping, locking and dropping. Like…I don't know we complimented each other..this was an amazing feeling! It was way better then dancing with the sk8rs and…I hate, well that's the thing I don't hate to say it its better then dancing with Stephen! We finished with a flawless finish and the crowd roared. The guy I was dancing with slightly pulled me out of the crowd. "Whatcha name kid? You got some moves!"He smiled. My heart dropped not knowing how to answer. "Um….some people call me Glitch" I mumbled. He smiled his pearly whites. "Glitch…ya that fits ya just fine" He smiled. There it is again…fits.
" The names Mo,and where did you learn moves like that? " The man cried looking really excited. I was about ta answer before he cut me off. "ya know what? Ferget it its like…uh a magician! Ya never reveal yer secrets!"Mo announced. I laughed. I know what your probably thinkin, a 14 year old talking to a 19 or 18 year old,….that never ends up well. But he seemed…familiar….he was funny and nice….like Stephen. "Cmon kid want ta go get somthin ta eat? My treat, don't worry im tame too"Mo snickered. I smiled big but he cut me off again. "eh ya know what? That kinda seems pedaphileish….um how bout I casually walk to that McDonalds right there…and yer can follow me "casually""Mo smiled. I laughed and followed "casually" behind him as he walked across the street to Mickeys Ds.
When we walked inside Mo went up to the counter and asked what I want. "Chicken nuggets!"I cried almost to loudly. I flushed almost thinking how childish I must have sounded. But Mo just smiled "heh you like chicken nuggets too?...Just like him"Mo chuckled. I must have had a confused look on my face,because he shook his head and said "aw don't worry bout it", then he ordered himself a hamburger. "Hey lil bit why don't cha stay here while ill go get our drinks aight?"Mo asked. I had this big cheesey grin on my face for I don't know how long and nodded. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he smiled back. I took a seat at a booth near the counter as I looked at my receipt "#109". I sat fot a little bit before I heard "#109". I got our food and headed back, as soon as I sat down Mo arrived with our drinks."hey didn't know what cha wanted so I just took a wild geuss, ya like ?"He aked handing me my cup. "Of course! Who doesn't?"I cried. "Peeps who got no swag" We chuckled at the same time. We looked at each other shocked. Mo smiled andI felt my cheeks grow pink. "So tell me about yoself Lil bit"Mo asked takin a sip of his drink. I don't know how but I just busted out crying spilling out everything about Stephen,Alicia,sk8rs,and how I got the name Glitch,but I left out the part about New York not wanted him to turn me in to a boys shelter or somthing. Mo was silent for a moment. I almost regretted telling him, he probably thought I was some freak. But he smiled gently before putting a hand on my shoulder."So…that's how you got da name Glitch? And this Bitch Alicia…I don't know what he problem is but she might be a little messed up in da head…and that name..Glitch…It fits ya, not in a way of you messing up like she says…but ….fits, and I think you should wear it proudly, cus one day kid yer gonna be a big dance star and how do yer think shes gonna feel when your up on stage and people are cheering 'glitch' on?"Mo asked smiling.
I snickered "Like shit"."Like shit"Mo repeated satisfied. "Exactly and bout yo man…Stephen, yer know I just lost someone too….hes not dead but im not going to see him anymore…but you have to find someone to fill that hole in your heart in order to feel better…well that's at least what I think, sorry if I sounded cheesey"Mo snickered. I snapped my head back to Mo smiling big.

I thought of all the reasons that they are just alike as I stared at mo. He picked up his sandwhich and caught me staring at him. I flushed pink and looked away but felt his gentle smile. I understand now! The cure isn't to know that their in a better place now! Its like Mo said find someone to replace them! I snuck another look at Mo and smiled.
I already lost someone once, and I didn't know how I was going to go on, losing that feeling of being wanted and loved, but now that I found it again with mo.
I`ll never let it escape ever again.
