Hello. English is not my frist language, so forgive me for anything misspelling or confusion. This is my frist fanfiction work, I've written stories but never published any or put anything out into the internet but i guess as fanfic is becoming more socially accepted, why not?
chapter 1
As jim was waiting for doc to hurry up with whatever street sale he was buying into at the space port. he thought about how his goodbye to his mom went.
their relationship has been strained lately to say shortly. Jim had been getting into trouble with the law, at school and practically anywhere in between. Ever since his dad left, his mom had to work twice as hard meaning no one was ever really there for jim growing up. Jim doesnt mean to get in trouble he just doesnt know what else to do. He just wants to feel..
He solar surfs, then sometimes gets caught, then they drag him home, then his mom flips, then he feels like a failure, so then he smokes weed, then somehow his mom finds out-even when he isnt high his mom still somehow knows, then she cries, then jim feels like a failure but worse.
its the cycle and he doesn't know how to break it.
"mom..?"
"what jim" she replied, a mix of sadness and anger in her tone
"im..im really sorry mom. I know i keep messing up and stressing you out but..this... this could be my chance to make it up to you, I promise when we find that treasure, e-"
"what you can blow it off a new solar surfer? Maybe some more weed? Or how about you can finally pay off your court frees because i cant now that the inn is destroyed" sarah finally snapped, eyes watering.
"i-" jim treid to get a word in
"just go" she cut him off, her voice nearly breaking.
jim walked over to hug her goodbye but sarah just turned away
"goodbye mom"
"DAMMIT" jim threw a stick on the ground and slung his bag over his sholder and left to go find doc.
At the legacy
after all the information extenged and jim was placed with sliver, jim realized he actually liked how busy sliver kept him, although it was suspicious as if he was trying to get rid of him with busy work, he liked not having a chance to be trapped in his head or have enough time on his hands to get into trouble.
one day as jim was mopping the deck when scoop shoved into him. Jim stared him down and made a tch sound and continued mopping.
"and what are you smaching your lips to, cabin boy"
scroop breathed gaining closer to the boy
" well id say your attitude, but frankly i think your breath is much worse" jim said pulling away his nose for the buy-eyed mate
"you little bratty cabin boy" and with that scroop picked him up by the collar, slammed him on the ground and drew his claw close to his face, daring to cut him.
"you besst be watching yourself, cabin boy" and nicked jims shoulder hard and fast, with that he walked away.
Thats it for chapter 1. Chapter 2 coming shorty.
