The Story of Soul

"Anima è il momento per la scuola!" Mrs. Evans yelled. (Anima it's time for school!)

A little five year old Soul slowly got out of bed in his little pajamas that were decorated with music notes, he miss-stepped as he was getting out of his king sized bed and fell on his butt. He was mumbling something only another five year old could understand and he made his way down his giant staircase into the kitchen where his family was sitting.

His older brother Wes stuffing his face with cereal, his mom at the stove cooking with one of the chefs, and his dad on the phone like he always is. Soul climbed in his chair and started eating the toast and eggs that were sitting in front of him.

"Buon giorno tesoro. Come stai?" (Good morning honey. How are you?) His mother asked.

Soul grunted as his response to her question. His dad hung up the phone with anger.

"Cosa c'è di papà che non va?" (What's wrong dad?) Soul asked.

"Nothing you nor your brother need to worry about." He answered.

Soul was about to ask another question, but he saw how frustrated his dad looked and he left it alone.

"Okay boys it's time for you to get dressed for school." Their mom said ushering them up the stairs.

Soul and Wes ran up the stairs pushing each other until they got to their separate rooms. Soul went to put on the clothes his mom had left out the night before him. He pulled up his black jeans, put on a white t-shirt, and put his Velcro sneakers on since he didn't know how to tie his shoes yet.

When he went down stairs with his bag and out the door the driver was waiting for him and his brother in a sleek shiny black car with tinted windows.

~school~

At school Soul walked through the door to the room full of kids his age, he looked around for someone he knew as he was looking he saw a head of purple hair sitting at a table with an empty seat next to him. Soul walked over and sat in the seat sitting next to Alonzo.

"Anima." (Soul.) Alonzo said coldly.

Soul grunted and then he heard a screech, he turned around and saw Rosabella running towards him.

"Anima! We get to be in the same class!" she screamed as she held on to him.

"Yeah, yeah." He said pushing her off.

~5 years later~

A ten year old Soul was with his friend Black*Star in the back of his families backyard burning ants with his magnifying glass. They were laughing and having a good time and started rolling on the floor laughing when Star poured water down the ant hill drowning all the ants.

"Soul come here." His mother said.

Soul went up to his mom, "yes mama?"

"I have a new friend for you and Black*Star to play with."

"Who is it Rebecca is he cool enough to hang out with your god?!" Black*Star screamed.

Rebecca took a deep breath and held back her anger, she wanted to slap Star upside his head for showing her now respect.

"Come here Kid." Rebecca yelled into the house.

Soul and Black*Star sent each other weird looks until they saw a boy their age step through his back door. He had black hair with three white lines that are horizontal, his golden eyes stared at Soul and Black*Star, and his pale skin shined in the sunlight.

"Who's he?" Star asked.

"This is Death the Kid, Soul he's very important treat him kindly." Soul's mom said going back inside.

"So what are we doing?" Kid asked.

"Burning and drowning ants." Soul answered.

"Why?"

"Sul serio?" (Seriously?)

"Excuse me?"

"Haven't you ever drowned ants before?" Star asked.

"No I haven't, is it fun?"

"OF COURSE IT'S FUN! LET YOUR GOD SHOW YOU HOW FUN IT IS!"

The three boys ran to another ant hill and started messing with the ants there. They did this for about a couple of hours until Nygus came to pick Black*Star.

After he left Kid and Soul had to play inside. They were playing video games when Kid's dad came to pick him up. Soul walked down the stairs Kid and Soul was stunned to see that his dad wore a mask.

"Bye Kid come again." Rebecca said closing the door.

For the next couple of years Soul, Kid, Black*Star became best friends but that changed when they hit 8th grade.

Soul and his friends were the most popular each of them being known for something. Soul being known for his looks, Kid being known for his book smarts, and Star being known to be MVP in every sport. Soul didn't care about the popularity or attention he got from other girls and a few guys, he only cared about his girlfriend Ari. She was the light of his life.

Her blue eyes as blue as the sky, her dark black shoulder length hair, and her ivory skin. Her smile could bring anyone out of their sadness. She was everything Soul could ask for in a girl, everyone knew that would stay together.

Soul thought too until one dreadful day that he wishes he could erase from his memory.

It was his and Ari's one year anniversary, they were freshmen in high school and still together. He was going to surprise her with two of her favorite things sky blue balloons and turtle chocolates. Soul was walking around the corner when he saw a scene that would make him regret his friendship with Kid.

Kid was making out with his girlfriend Ari, Soul was heartbroken to see his best friend making out with his girlfriend. Instead of confronting his problems he walked away giving the balloons and chocolates to a random person that was standing there. He couldn't look at those two right now, not until he got his head clear.

For the rest of the day he avoided Kid and Ari making sure to use careful steps, but they weren't careful enough because he ran into Ari.

"Oh Soul I've been looking for you!" she exclaimed.

"Why?" he asked not looking into her eyes.

"Because it's our one year anniversary, so I wanted to give you a present."

She put a little box and his hand. "Happy anniversary." Ari started to walk away when Soul said something.

"I-we should break up." He said.

She looked at him confused, "why?"

"Because you made out with Kid."

"You saw that?"

"If I hadn't seen would you have told me that you made out with my best friend?"

"Probably not."

"Why not?"

"Just because you were my boyfriend doesn't mean I have to tell you everything."

"If I cheated on you I would have told you!"

"Don't act like I'm the bad guy, I know you slept with what's her face."

"She came on to me and if you really want to know I told her that you were my girlfriend and that I loved you."

"Y-you did?"

"Yes, but whatever you see you around Ari."

"Soul wait."

He waved at her as he walked away seeing her for the last time.

When he awoke the next morning with the sun in his face he didn't prepare to see the cops sitting on his couch drinking coffee.

"Are you Soul Evans?" the tall cop asked.

"Yeah. Who wants to know?" Soul said.

"We have bad news a girl Ari Simpson was found dead in the school bathroom with a gunshot wound." The sick looking cop said.

"What?"

"We just wanted to tell you because you are her boyfriend correct?"

"I'm her ex-boyfriend; I broke up with her after I saw her making out with my best friend Death the Kid. Dude you look really sick are you okay?"

"Stay on track kid."

"Rebecca who's downstairs?" Giovanni asked walking downstairs.

Once he saw the cops he moved slowly. "Hello Officer Wise. To what do I owe this wonderful visit in my beautiful home?"

"Giovanni, we just came to discuss some things with your son. I hope you're staying out of trouble."

The family exchanged glances with each other before the cops walked out the door.

"What happened and why were the cops talking to you?"

"My ex Ari was shot in the school bathroom."

Giovanni's eyes grow wide as he looked at his son, "so who wants pancakes?"

"I do!" Wes yelled.

"Soul do you want some?"

"Will there be whip cream and strawberries?"

"Your favorite."

"Thanks papa."

"You haven't called me papa since you were five."

"Don't get used to it."

"Okay."

Soul spent the last few months thinking about Ari. He even looked at the gift he gave her it was a silver locket that had their name engraved in the front, inside was a picture of their first kiss.

Soul almost broke down and cried, but didn't he wanted to but couldn't. His feelings for Ari had left when he saw her kissing Kid. He and Kid hadn't talked since the day he confronted him about the kiss; the talk ended up with Soul coming home with a busted lip, a broken nose, and a bruised cheek. He also wanted to go to her funeral, but what was the point? People die every day, she wasn't any different than the people died dealing drugs for his dad, and the circle of life is forever going.

A couple of days later Soul decided to go into work at Black*Star's family record shop although they didn't just sell old fashioned records they sold CDs, headphones, and other things for music. That was day he met her. Her name was Maka.

He remembers how when she walked into the store that her nose wrinkled at the smell of weed from Star and Sid. She bought The Black Keys new CD 'El Camino' which had good songs on it in Star's opinion. He remembers how Star told him to go get her name. Soul was glad that he got her name.

He remembered how he stole her away from Kid that shot him in the chest with a bullet, remembered how she moaned and panted his name in bed, how he was in the hospital holding her hand.

WAIT! This wasn't a memory this was actually happening and his hand was unbelievable pain!

"Push Maka push!" the doctor said.

"I am pushing you asshole!" Maka yelled.

"Just one more and you'll be good."

Soul was biting his lip as she squeezed his hand tighter until he finally sighed when she released his hand. The only sound that was heard in the room was the baby's cry.

"Congratulation Ms. Albarn it's a healthy baby girl and her eyes are a strange color of red." The nurse said wiping and handing the baby to Maka.

"The red eyes are from me." Soul said rubbing his hand.

"She's so beautiful Soul."

"Yeah she is. What's her name?"

"Right. Rosemary* Damien Albarn."

"Why Rosemary and Damien?"

"Because Rosemary is a beautiful name and I've always wanted a son named Damien."

Soul ahed at this and was about to say something, but everyone else walked in.

Alonzo walked in and immediately was by Maka's side as she held the sleeping baby girl, Vince and Mich were holding hands, Meyome was standing in the corner looking at everyone, Star was taking a video, as Tsubaki took pictures, Spirit and Kami were proud that their only daughter had given birth to such a beautiful girl. Soul, well Soul was happy that he had a family to call his own. Without Kid around Soul could live a peaceful life.

Or could he?
