I woke up to the smell of food cooking in the kitchen. It brought back memories of when mom cooked every breakfast and how her cooking always woke me up. It was a good way for me to wake up and meet the day, but not anymore. This time it made my stomach knot up. I wasn’t sad that my Mom and Lucy were gone. I didn’t really know what I felt when I woke up this morning, but I just didn’t feel like myself. “Um Derek we need to talk.” I announced after walking into the kitchen where he was cooking

“Mom really looked like she was getting stronger tonight.” I beamed at the look of my mom. “Yeah? That’s great.” Derek stated patting me on the shoulder as I drove to the late night restaurant we ate at the first night we met. “You were great with her too.” I announced remembering how he acted so close to my mother even though it was the first time they met. It wasn’t a show to impress me or her it was sincere and I appreciated the smile that formed a

I was the first one to wake up and I found Derek had taken over most of the bed pushing me to one side. Yawning I neglected to put on any pants and walked down to the kitchen to see if there was any food to fix a small breakfast with. “I knew you’d get him into your bed sometime, but not on the first night he’s here.” Julie announced causing me to hit my head on the refrigerator. “Good lord Julie ever since I gave you that spare key you’ve been a pain in the ass.” I groaned ru

Planning a funeral for the one person that has never turned their back on you and supported everything you’ve done was hard. My mother as many times she embarrassed me in front of my friends by showing nude baby pictures of me wasn’t going to be here with me to share any more moments. She wouldn’t be there when I graduated from college or for when I fell in love. “How are you holding up son?” Dad asked as we drove to the funeral home that my mother was sent to.

“Charlie, wake up.” Derek ordered sounding stern. “Something’s happened.” “What?” I asked groggily. “Are you ok?” “It’s Lucy.” Derek sighed and I sat up in the bed. “What do you mean its Lucy?” I asked now fully awake ready to listen to what Derek had to say. “She’s dead.” Derek whispered. “I went looking for her when she wasn’t at her dinner bowl this morning when I went to feed her and I found her at the foot of your mom’s bed.”

When Derek had left, I sighed, not knowing what came over me. It was the boldest that I had ever been in years. The only other time that I had been bold was when I constructed a ramp in my neighbor’s barn that overlooked a pond. I had the idea that I was going to jump the ramp with my skateboard and land in the pond, safe. Well being laid up the rest of the summer with a broken hip stopped my bold approaches, but now that I was older and a lot smarter I was inviting a guy who I had just met

“I can’t believe we finally graduated from this shit hole.” I chirped examining my diploma after the celebrations wound down and people were leaving the gym. “Not a moment to soon either,” Julie added wrapping her arm around my shoulder. “Smile, last picture I promise.” “It better be.” I smiled, then after the flash, I blinked my eyes annoyed that Julie had to take over a billion pictures. She was my best friend though ever since kindergarten when she threatened

When I signed in I was greeted by the boss. She was an older woman that had belonged to my mother’s social group until my mother became ill. It was hard working here with all the questions about mom always being thrown at me, but this was the best paying job in town that a high school kid could come up with. “You’re still dressed in what you had on for graduation. I mean you should have at least took the gown off before coming in.” She announced and I rolled my eyes.

My second story, it is about a High School graduate and his group of friends. It is likely another roughly written story, I was most definitely still trying out the whole writing thing when I wrote it. So I know some things may be unclear or confusing. But, like I said, early work. So I hope at least some people can enjoy it. First posted in 2003/2004, I was in High School at the time.

Waking up knowing that I didn’t have to go to school the next day was nice. When I looked over and found Marcus lying in the bed next to me was comforting. I was worried about him yesterday. When Laura came to the door I wasn’t expecting her to be home again. She doesn’t normally like to miss school sick or not. “Andy?” Laura asked in a low voice. “I’m up.” I answered sitting up in the bed. She waved for me to get out of bed so I stepped out and I didn’t care that I was in my boxer briefs

Knowing that it was Monday really didn’t register until Laura came into the room and turned off the alarm clock that had woke me up but I didn’t move to get it. I had to take those damn pills again before I felt relaxed enough to sleep. “Do you want to skip?” Laura asked quietly. “No.” I groaned rolling over to sit up. “Good morning.” “Yeah,” She responded then I looked over at her. “Are you sick?” I asked looking her up and down. She was wrapped in a blanket and she had a on a sweat

I woke up to someone shaking me awake gently. I opened my eyes and it was still dark in the room even if the sun was coming up. I turned and found Marcus standing over my with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was wearing black pajama bottoms that looked like silk. “Why are you down here?” Marcus asked curiously and I looked over to find Tim and Evan still asleep. “I’ll tell you outside.” I said standing and wrapping the blanket around me. He followed me outside and we sat down at the table.

I watched the two of them go rigid standing there at the doorway. I then looked in shock as Evan’s brother was backing out of the driveway and leaving. They weren’t welcome here and they knew it too. They still was there looking at me and Chandler and it pissed me off. “Fuck off.” I snapped slamming the door shut not really caring if they were out of the way or not. When a light tapping came on the door Chandler opened it and he kept hold of the door so that I couldn’t slam it again. “What

I wanted Mom to approve of Chandler going to the cabin with me. It was so much more than that though. I didn’t want to hide anything else from her and if she had given her approval of him then that meant that she approved of him altogether. I think I needed that from someone since I couldn’t get it from Laura. “Andy is that you?” She asked from the kitchen. “Yeah, mom.” I answered and she appeared from the kitchen. “Oh, hi Chandler.” Mom greeted straightening out her hair. “How are you?

The rest of the day Mom left me alone. She had gotten what she needed for her to become controlled. I was surprised that she wasn’t curious about Chandler or what happened to Jase. I didn’t want to explain those in detail. “Do you want me to take you to practice?” Mom asked walking into the living room where I was watching television and I handed her my dirty dishes from the lunch she made me a little while ago. “No, I don’t guess.” I answered looking at her. “I’m supposed to be sick.”

The next morning I woke up knowing that today wasn’t going to be good. I wanted to roll over and go back to sleep, but Chandler’s mom was nudging me awake. I didn’t know where Chandler was and until she spoke to me I thought it was him. Hearing her voice made me instantly awake and I sat up in the bed and pulled the covers over my body, they had fallen down to my knees sometime and I felt uncomfortable being this naked in front of some strange woman. I wasn’t completely comfortable being thi

The next morning I woke up alone in Chandler’s bed still dressed in what I wore to the party. The party came rushing back into my head, as I looked myself over. I knew nothing happened to me really. It was all stopped before it could get worse. The thought of t he intentions Jess had that night is what made me hate myself. I realized last night that I couldn’t protect myself at all. I hated that Marcus left me like that. I wanted so much to blame it all on him, hoping that it would make me feel
-
“Get the hell off of me!” I ordered as he sat on my waist holding my arms over my chest. He was a lot larger than me and it was hard to breathe with him on top of me. “You’re a feisty fucker.” Jess hissed, but he hadn’t tried anything other than holding me down against the bed and looking at me. “Why are you doing this?” I asked staring into his eyes wondering how a person could be possessed enough to do this to another person. I didn’t know what he had in mind, but I wonder if Chandler ha

I noticed Rob’s jeep outside before I stepped into the house. I rolled my eyes. He wasn’t supposed to be here when Mom wasn’t home. Mom had been gone for a while now and I was beginning to miss her. In a way though, it was good to not have her here. I don’t know if I could take not telling her all of this bad shit that was happening. I walked into the kitchen and heard Rob’s loud annoying voice telling some story. “Hey Laura.” I said, and noticed Rob frown. “Hey.” She smiled, “How was prac

"Hey what's your hurry?" Marcus asked me as I pushed past him. "I came early." "More time to get drunk off my ass." I answered, but I stopped when he grabbed my hand. "You're pissed." He stated turning me around. "Got that right." I huffed shaking his hand from mine. "You and Laura fighting again?" Marcus asked carefully. "Yes." I answered, "We might as well go back inside since you came early."

The ride over to Chandler’s house was a quiet one. I grew nervous the closer we came and I somewhat missed going to his house and spending time with him. I couldn’t understand why the people in my life had to mess up the relationships they had with me. I didn’t want to be the guy that ends up alone; but, with Chandler, Tim, and Evan being unsteady with me right now, I knew a lot could change. Tim and Evan might brainwash Mandy and Ann into not being my friends. As stupid as that sounded to me, I

When Monday rolled around I was exhausted by the long weekend. Laura bitched at me until her face turned purple about running off with Chandler to some party that she had no knowledge of -- and on a school night. I wondered when she had become such a prude. There had been lot of nights she had come home tipsy from a night out and snuck in. She used to make me cover for her when mom would ask about her. Now, when it came to Chandler, I was getting this constant bitching and looking after from Lau
-
The next morning I hoped that Chandler might have just been erased from my memory, but he wasn’t. I also hoped that the little talk I'd had with Jase would have been enough for me, but it wasn’t. On top of that, Laura had been acting strangely towards me ever since I woke up. She fixed me breakfast in silence while I waited for her to finish. I wanted her to start a conversation with me, but she never did. Then she left to go hang out with Robbie after we ate, also in silence. I didn’t try to ta

“Who were you arguing with on the phone?” Laura asked, walking into my room. “Nobody it was just stupid.” I lied, rubbing at my eyes with my sleeve. “Didn’t sound like nobody.” Laura stated evenly, then walked into my room and shut the door. “Just leave it, Laura. You’re not going to push me around this time.” I snapped picking up the phone dialing Jase’s number. He was the only one that I could talk to in this situation. “Who are you calling?” Laura asked, in a huff and frowning. “I’m

“So uh, where’s your man at?” Sean asked as I greeted him at his house before I left for the party. Andy had pushed me away and I felt bad that I was stupid and talked to that stupid ass friend of his. “He’s just a friend.” I learned my lesson; keep the relationship a secret until he’s ready to tell. “Come on Chandler we’re not retards.” Amber countered as everyone gathered around the doorway after I arrived. “Just drop it guys me and Andy had a fight and I want to just get drunk off m
