Terra had a complicated life. His parents got divorced before he started the 5th grade. His father got full custody of him and he never saw his mother again. Even now, at age 23, he didn't know how his father got custody of him, or why he even wanted to. They never got along. His father would come home at 2 in the morning, completely drunk. He would pass out on the couch or, on occasion, beat Terra. The brunette's childhood was crap, and it got even worse when his Dad never came home one night. All Terra found of him that morning was a note that read, I am leaving for a while, hold down the fort. That was it: No more letters, no more phone calls, no more dad. In some ways it was a relief: Terra didn't have to be afraid of receiving anymore beatings from his drunken father. However, there was one good thing about the man: he was able to pay rent. Terra was 16, so he dropped out of school, got his GED, and began working day and night. Even with a full time job, he barely made rent, let alone food. Soon the stress got to be too much for Terra. Like his father before him, he found the solution at the bottom of a bottle. He started drinking at 18 and didn't stop. Even though it was illegal to sell to minors, he found plenty of people willing to buy it for him as long as he forked over the dough. Over the years the drinking got to him and he couldn't hold down a job.

The worst day of his life occurred early, when he was barely 22. He got thrown out of a bar one night, horribly drunk. He stumbled around the parking lot until he found his scratched up excuse for a car, one of the few things his father had left behind. He started it up, though he was much too drunk to drive, and peeled out of the parking lot. He drove faster and faster, swerved into the wrong lane, and ran a red light. That's when it happened: a car that had also run the light didn't see him and they collided head on. The next thing he could remember was waking up in a jail cell with a massive migraine. His body was covered in scrapes and bruises, and it ached all over. He started to yell and curse, and demanded to know why he was here. That was when he found out:. He had killed a young adult in a car crash. He couldn't believe it. He could never hurt someone, let alone kill them! It was then that he realized what his drinking had done to him. It had turned him into his father.

After a day of contemplating what he had done, Terra was released on bail by some unknown benefactor. Terra went back to his apartment to wait for the trial where he would meet the family whose child he had murdered. After a week of waiting, he got a call from his lawyer, which was strange because he didn't even know he had a lawyer. The lawyer told him that the charges from the family had been dropped. The only catch was that a parole officer would have to drop in from time to time to make sure Terra was still employed and not constantly drunk. Terra should have been ecstatic that he didn't have to go to jail, but a voice in the back of his mind said that he should of been left there to rot.

A few days after he was cleared of charges, he read in the newspaper about the young boy's funeral. For the first time, Terra read the name of the boy he had killed. Ventas Ossment, age 19, just started college. His life was just beginning. Just learning the name of the boy tore Terra apart. He went to the boy's funeral, and stood back far enough that he could not be seen. How could he face the family that lost one of their own because of what he did? He couldn't do it. He looked around at all the people at the funeral, all those who would miss the life he had taken.

Closer to the casket stood five people Terra assumed to be the boy's immediate family. He saw a woman crying into the arms of who Terra assumed to be her husband. There was also a young woman who was crying frantically while two younger boys held her comfortingly. Terra couldn't face the sight any longer. He walked away, but as he was walking he turned back for one final look. He saw the girl looking back at him. She had the most pure blue eyes Terra had even seen. That was when he remembered: He had seen those right eyes before the crash. She had been driving the car with the boy in it. Her eyes were bringing back too many memories; he had to get away from her! He left without another look back.

Terra never saw those blue eyes again, not until today when he and their owner bumped into each other. He had just gotten fired from another job and was heading home to sleep for the rest of the day when it happened. When he saw those blue eyes, all those painful memories came back. All the pain that he had caused, the lives he had destroyed, all from one stupid mistake. When he ran into her she dropped her briefcase. He needed to get out of there before she recognized him. He picked it up and handed it to her. They made eye contact. Again he felt the pain that those eyes caused and merely said, "No harm done." He proceeded to walk on his way hoping to never see her again. After about 15 seconds of walking away from what made his heart ache, something made him look back. He saw the girl walking away and something about made him want to see her again. "No harm done, not this time." He shrugged off the feeling and proceeded to go home and sleep off his hangover.

Terra tried to be sober after the accident, but that ended when he got fired from another job as pizza deliverer. Apparently it was harder to deliver pizzas without a car than he thought. He hadn't gotten paid yet and he got hungry so he decided to keep some of the pizzas for himself. That didn't go over well with his boss and like that Terra was unemployed again. He earns enough to get by for the time he works at these jobs. Enough to pay the crappy rent on his crappy apartment and enough to get food to live off of.

He had just gotten back to his apartment building when he saw two girls sitting on the stoop of the front door. One girl had light blond hair, so light it almost looked white. She had a sketchpad and was drawing something, but Terra didn't know what. The other girl had dark red hair and seemed a bit pissed off. She was constantly looking at her out of date flip phone looking at the time, as if she was running late for something. They were both wearing uniforms of a private high school down the street. They duffle bags at their feet like they had just moved somewhere or were on vacation.

Finally the angry red head spotted Terra and somehow her facial expression got even more pissed off.

"There you are!" she shouted as she stood up to face Terra, "Hurry up! We are late for school!" Little did Terra realize that his life was going to get a lot more complicated.
