Chapter 3, "Fred, where are you?"

Enjoy

"FRED'S POV"

"What am I doing" Fred thought. "I just broken Daphne's heart then left, like it was nothing!" I slammed his head on the steering wheel, hoping to make the pain go away.

"What am I even looking for, my parents! I don't even know where to look, but I refused to let my friend's help? They probley couldn't even if I let them anyways. Daphne's parents might kill her. Shag's Military Coach will kill him. Velma's parent's probley won't even let her leave their house until she's 30 and lord knows where Scooby is…

I felt like I was drowning, no way to go but down. I never felt so helpless before in my life. Not even when I lost Daphne, cause then, I had a chance to see her again, but now….

"I screwed up." Fred said to himself. "I screwed up and got my best friends involved. All because of that that Freak!" I felt anger swell up inside me. Never in my life have I been this angry. I couldn't even remember feeling angry before, I always felt happy, sad, confused or.… Never anger towards anyone but now. I feel like killing that man for betraying me like this.

I looked in the rear view mirror. Every time I looked in a mirror before, I'd see a little of my dad in me. But now, I'm not sure who I see. All I see now is a blond kid with tears in his eyes looking back at me.

That startled me, "Am I crying? I never cry, never." I said out loud. "Not even when I stepped on that rusty nail when I was 6."

I remembered that day. Crystal Cove just went through a major hurricane and half of my neighbor's house fell. My 'dad' and I just got back from our little "vacation" and I was running around, stretching my legs from the 5 hour drive, while 'dad' was getting our bags in the house. He kept telling me to stop fooling around and to help him out with our bags, but I was too young to care and kept playing. Then I got the "brilliant" idea to run on top of the pile of junk and pretend it was mountain. I started running to the half-house while 'dad' was yelling at me not to. That's when I stepped on something, looked down and saw my foot in a pool of blood. 'Dad' rushed me to a hospital and I got the nail taken out and some shots, but never did I cry. I didn't even feel it!

"Great." I thought. "Now I'm going soft, all cause of that freak." I thought a little more about the gang. Especially about Daphne, I wonder how she was doing, considering the fact I broke her heart, she'll never want to see me again anyways. In fact, she's problety better without me. I'm sure Daphne's parents did something to make her forget all about me by now. They were skilled to do that.

"I'm never going to find my real parents; I'm never going to see Velma, Shaggy, Scooby or Daphne ever again. I was raised by a monster and I'm just like him whether I liked it or not, and I have nobody else to go to. I'm all alone"

"Why can't it just end?" I thought as I got out of the van and walked over to the cliff. "This is where it all began." Where the one person I looked up to turned out to be a monster. Where I broke up with Daphne to go look for people I don't even know if are still alive or not. Where the gang broke up. "Maybe, this is how it should end." All the suffering, all the hatred, all the betrayals…, all of the lies. I thought of this as I walked closer to the edge. I looked down and saw rocks and about seven feet out was the ocean over lapping the rocks. I didn't want anyone to find my body on the rocks. I didn't want anyone to find my body, period. All I wanted was to be forgotten.

"Maybe," I thought, "If I run fast enough, I could jump over the rocks and into the water. I could be washed away and forgotten, almost like I was never born." I thought about it, backed about fifty feet away from the edge. "Goodbye gang." I whispered quietly, then ran as fast as I could towards the ledge. I kept saying over and over to myself all of the things that I don't have to worry about anymore, I even smiled. I didn't notice the screeching tires behind me….

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I heard a voice, "Fred! Are you out of your mind? Get back…. stop!" It sounded familiar, but I didn't care. I am too close to freedom to let someone tell me to stop… I jumped….. But stumbled on something at the edge, I think some of the cliff fell off as I tried to jump. The last thing I saw was rocks….

REALLY SHORT, I KNOW….. More reviews, more chapters. Spread words about me to people you think would love my stories and….. (cliff-hanger) Gotta love them ;p
