Ah, the glory of one review. Okay, if I get five to ten reviews I'll update.

Leo's POV 10 years old

Leo hadn't really popped out of a bush randomly. He'd been waiting there all along.

Jason, the boy at the bus stop, used to be Leo's friend. And Leo didn't want to see him.

*epic flashback*

"Hey Jason!" Leo said after dialing his friends' number.

"Hello?" A girl's voice said.

"Thalia? I'm looking for Jason. Do you know where he is?"

"Oh, I know where he is. He's in the hospital."

"What! Why?"

"He was skateboarding with the football team and they dared him to do a trick and he fell..." Thalia's voice cracked. "And he hit his head and the doctor says he might not make it."

Leo slammed the phone down, cursing the football team. They were always looking for ways to get Jason off of the team.

-few days later-

"Hellllllo? Ms. Violet? Is Leo there?"

"This is Leo."

Ms. Violet was Leo's first foster home. She was nice enough.

"Oh. Jason's home, if you want to come over."

"Seriously?! Really?! Okay I'll be right there!"

Leo walked over to Jason's house, which was across the street. Thalia and Jason lived with their dad, a huge guy who worked at a place where you had to wear a suit. He had no last name for odd reasons.

Leo rang the bell. Jason answered. He looked the same, except for a bandaid on his chin.

"Who're you? I don't want to see YOU. Get out if here," Jason said, giving him a cold look.

Leo stood there in shock, but when Jason gave him a murderous look, he ran. Jason was good at punching things... And people.

For the next few days, Leo tried to talk to Jason, but couldn't without Jason glaring at him. One time, Jason punched him in the jaw for giving him a joke book. Thalia decided to move in with their mother, who gladly agreed to take her.

The last time Leo saw Jason was when Jason yelled at him to get out of his life and kicked his shins. That night, Leo packed what he needed, left a note saying thank you, and ran away.

*end of epic flashback*

Leo hid in the bush until he knew the bus would come. And when Jason heard his name, Leo could have sworn Jason's eyes changed to something like fear.
