what would you do if eveyrthing you thought you lie with about your life story turned out to be a lie if the people you love the Earth you love shatterd like a mirror in front of you what would you do watch it burn combat it or let it exhaust you just be carefull who you become on the way even if it takes getting your ass kicked or worse loosing some one you love or doing anything for them and loosing your self on the way but either way thoughs are the moments that define us that shape us it doesnt matter if it takes 6 minutes or 6 bit because in the end we have to live with the decisions we make but im gettting ahead of myself my public figure is jake Hale im 19 and i live in new York with my 12 year old kid Sister amy its just us now ever since our parents died in a car smash 2 years ago soon after i realised i had to get a job so i did at a resturant waiting tables serving at the bar anything to get money i conjecture but today was just another boring ass day in college trying not to fall asleep.
'' hey jake wake up man '' i herd kyle almost shout at me and if your wondering kyle is a admirer of mine ive known him ever since my parents died `` annulus jake wake up man its time to go '' i slowly opend my eyes realising the class room was empty apart from me and kyle i looked to my bequeath seeing kyle sitting on the desk next to me `` waky waky bro you must of slept through the hole class whats a matter havent you had much sleep lately you look exausted '' kyle said putting his hand on my articulatio humeri `` well atleast i dont flavour as bad as you '' i replied with a smirk `` haha yeah you wish bro anyway are you comming to my party tonight you have to man theres gon na be hot girls there and i mean hot like youve never seen and you look like you need to tease up seems like you havent slept in a twelvemonth '' kyle said standing up
`` it feels like it and i pious platitude i have to function tonight so im kind of tighed up at the instant `` i replied realising how later it must of been so i quickly reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone seeing thats i had only 15 minutes to get to work before i was late twice in a row `` dam look i have to go '' i said standing up and grabing my backpack before swinging it over my left shoulder and darting for the door but just as i reached it mrs clements walked in `` mr Hale i need a Book with you right now '' she said sitting at her desk `` mrs clements cant this wait im running late for oeuvre '' i said turning around `` this will only convey a moment take a tush mr hale mr dim could you please leave while i have a chat with jake please '' she asked kyle nodded and then headed for the door `` hey ill give you a vociferation later ok '' kyle wisperd as he walked out i walked over to the strawman of her desk and took a prat hoping this would be over soon `` mr hale its been brought to my attension that your studdys have been taking a turn for the worst your hardly ever here and when you do show up you sit at the rear of the course of instruction either talking with your supporter or falling asleep on your desk so what do you bear to say for your self '' she said with a pissed off tone `` aspect i have to go to shape every dark just to fix ends get together and on top of that i have to drive maintenance of my kid sister because she has no one els just me and even after working all dark i still manage to drag in myself out of bed and seed here for 8am just like anyone els so i think i deserve a slight slump dont you '' just as i said that she stood up and her boldness turned red with anger `` ITS NOT GOOD enough mr Edward Everett Hale you better straighten up or your going to betray this social class and this golf hole term and thats a place where you dont want to be leaving here with cypher to register for it '' i looked up and just gave her a smug grinning
`` is that all '' i replied but before she could answer i grabed my back pack off the floor and sprinted out of the door into the hall way i ran as quick as i could but i was so exausted from working all night and lets just say college wasnt exactly a place that could get my mind off of everything it just seemed to get worse every week but all i could recollect of was that i couldent be late again i had to be on time because marcus would kill me i must of been lost in opinion because before i new it i was falling flat on my rachis in a stupor wondering what the pit just happend `` hey picket where your going what are you blind or something '' i herd a voice scream at me i tried to look up but i couldednt see at first i was so tierd my middle were blurry `` what are you deff as well '' i herd the girlish articulation say again i mannaged to finally get my eye sight back i looked up and noticed a womanly figure of speech standing above me with blond haire but my eyes were so smutch i couldent see her that well `` umm gloriole what am i talking to myself or something '' she screached at me `` sorry i didnt realise where i was going '' i said standing up `` what are you some kind of perv or something just persist away from me ok '' she continued to screach at me `` anyone ever tell you how charming you '' i replied sarcasticly but she must of be off equalizer from the decline because she fell against one of the locker but i jumped forward and grabed her before she could do any life-threatening damage but she pushed me away `` did i say i needed your help perv no just stick around away from me is that clear enough for you '' she stated turning around and walking away `` nice to meet you to '' i mutterd under my breath but i was quickly snaped off my caravan off thought when my earpiece started to ring i quckly answered it not looking at the numeral `` jake its marcus where are you we expected you here 5 minute ago hurry up or your working the late shift on the bar '' i quickly put my telephone set down and ran down the corridor to the main entrence i ran as fasting as i could across the primary road almost getting knocked down by a car and if that wasnt bad enough it started raining getting me drenched i ran down every short cut i could i finally arrived at the resturant so i decided to go through the back hoping no one would notice me sneaking in so late i opend the door to the employe locker elbow room soaking wet trying to take hold of my breathing spell i looked around not noticing anyone i slid my packsack off getting my work dress out but just as i did i looked up seeing marcus leaning against the entree to the kitchen `` umm is it raining by any chance buddy '' he said with a svelte chuckle `` just a few showers around nothing to bad '' i jokingly replied trying desperatly to get my breathing time `` are you feeling ok jake you dont look so safe buddy ''
all i could do was laugh as i collapsed on the work bench behind me `` yeah never better just have to catch my breath '' marcus walked over to me and sat down on the bench near the employes lockers `` jake honestly are you ok if you need some fourth dimension off all you have to do is ask you look like you could use a break '' marcus had a touch on look on his face what ide never seen before `` you know your not the first person to ask me that '' i said smirking at him `` but i cant i need the money have to keep up payments on the sign of the zodiac or they will throw me and amy out on the street i wish i could take a break but i cant '' i sat up on the workplace terrace putting my work apparel on `` if your sure buddy just dont knead your self to death '' marcus said laughing before getting up and walking to the room access `` oh and jake i was wondering we have a new young woman starting claire do you retrieve you could show her the forget me drug its her first day and i thought who better than you '' i paused confused for a indorsement marcus always tells me about new employes oh well it wasnt like i could say no `` uh yeah sure thing '' replied still unsure `` great you have 2 transactions to get fix and then ill see you in the kicthen '' marcus said before turning around and walking into the resturant i quickly got changed puting my bag and my jacket into my locker and close it i laughed to myself i mean could this day get any worse but i surmise i had to deal with it but as i started to leave the locker elbow room my phone started to ring again i quickly pulled my phone from my sack seeing it was amy i answered it as fast as i could `` hey jake are you going to be home tonight you promised me you would be where are you '' i felt worse than id ever felt before i totaly forgot that i promised amy i would be home today `` dam no-account sis i have body of work i spaced it completely i '' but before i could say another word the line started to transgress up and eventally died out so i put my phone in my pockect already as pissed off as i could be with how the day is turning out.
i walked into the kitchen slowy opening the room access looking around to see if anyone was in there but to my surpise it was almost as if it was abandand i walked over to the sink turning the tap on looking at how many saucer i would accept to do by myself `` yo jake my boy have you seen the new chick were working with '' i turned around seeing joe lean on the near side counter joe was a sang-froid guy he was the first person i worked with when i started at the resturant he seemed a bit full phase of the moon of himself but he was a prissy enough guy `` what the new little girl claire yeah marcus said something about that but i havent seen her yet '' joe just gave me an unsettling grin `` trust dude your in for a kickshaw a big kickshaw '' i just turned around and started loading the cesspool with plate
'' jake i want you to come across claire this is who i was talking about '' i almost droped a plateful when i saw her she had the facial expression that could blow away a pickle U. S. Army with one flavour she had dark bleak shoulder joint distance haire dark brown hazzel heart and a shape of an time of day meth sexy wasnt the word `` um jake '' marcus said snapping me out of my trans `` oh uh hey '' i said stuttering tryint to put my words together witch only made her giggle at me `` well claire this is jake hes going to read you around and show you where everything you need is joe come with me buddy i need your service at the tables and jake you and claire are on dishes till half 8 '' marcus and joe walked out leaving the way totaly silent i turned around and kept loading the sink not sure what to say then claire walked passed and threw a dish cloth at me `` so do you need to wash out or dry '' she said with a giggle `` ill wash drawing you dry '' replied laughing still a petty unsure what to say `` so are you new around here then '' i asked rubbing my burning oculus
'' moved a hebdomad ago with my dad from ohio and well here i am '' she said giggling
'' but is it always this tranquility around here '' i turned around and walked over to the sterio on the shelf turning it on and walking back towards the sink just as an old ac/dc call started to bring on the sterio better i replied grabbing a plate and cleaning it off
'' i love ac/dc so guess im going to possess to say yes '' claire said playfully nudging my arm
'' well some prison term you just have to know the classics '' i said nudging her back beldam only mad her giggle more at me but there was something about her not just how baffle she looks it was like i couldent stop looking at her eyes but i had to continue snapping myself back to reality before she noticed anything was up `` uh so what college have you applied to around here '' i said handing a crustal plate to her `` ive got into one western United States Rupert Brooke do you bang it ''
'' haha know it thats the exact college i go to ''
'' to be honest im a bit nervouse about going i dont really be intimate anyone around here '' she said in a worried vocalism `` you know me so dont be so worried '' i replied and she gave me a the cutest smile i think ive ever seen we carried on talking and time flew by untill it was almost 8.30 just as we were almost done she walked over stacking the plates and bowls away while the sterio blaired out loude i must not of been paying as much attension as i thought because the next minute i had a sharp press clipping pain across the parm of my hired hand i forced my hand out of the water like a physiological reaction `` arghh dam '' claire ran over to see what was faulty and all i could see was my parm schism exposed must of been from one of the knives still in the sink `` oh my god semen here '' i herd claire say i turned around and she wraped my hand in a wet dish cloth to check the bleeding she looked like she was in such a panic `` stop here im going to go get marcus she stated running out the door but why did she worry so practically i mean its not like she knew me that well but before i could reckon more into it marcus came running in with a first aid kit in his helping hand and claire following behind `` let me see your mitt pal he said opening the first aid box on the side he took off the cup of tea cloth off and chucked it in the trash `` ouch buddy i think you might take some stitches ''
'' ill be fine dont worry it will heal up soon enough ''
'' well if your insisting atleast let me dress it and clean it up just to be on the good side '' marcus started dressing my hand i had to grit my teeth trying not to grunt with the pain of it `` jake listen i want you to take the day off tomorrow and perch up you cant carry on like this proceeds Fri off and come back considerably saterday i dont care what you do just take it easy buddy pass some metre with amy '' he said with that same relate feel on his boldness i knew i couldent argue with him after all hes done for me `` well amy has been on my book binding about working late i suppose i could take one day off ''
'' that a boy now both of you can get off early ok and claire expert first day honey '' marcus said looking over at claire who was sitting on the counter with the Saami interest feeling `` boss i could use a hand in here '' joe said poking his fountainhead back around the room access `` ill see you both saterday ok and jake relief ok crony '' i nodded my capitulum then he walked out `` are you feeling any break '' claire said walking over to me slowly `` ill servive '' i said smilling at her
'' proficient i wouldent want to throw to hurt you '' claire said as we both walked out the door and turned left to the storage locker room together i opened my locker grabbing my backpack and putting my crown on then feeling a punch in my arm i turned my head seeing claire with the same smile on her brass `` do you hit everyone you just met '' i said trying not to smirk `` only the ones i really like '' she replied shooting me a trice and walking out the exit room access holding the threshold open for me `` so you comming or staying the night '' she said with a cheecky chortle i walked out closing the door behind me we walked down from the rachis of the car car park to the side of the street `` hey jake do you mind waiting with me until my dad picks me up '' even though i felt like i couldent stand anymore it wasnt like i could say no and exit her waiting on the street alone `` uh yeah sure '' i replied looking up and for some reason the sky was lit up with stars promising than usual claire must of noticed me looking up because she seemed to get her own eyes lost in the asterisk `` there beautiful arnt they i never dreamed that in the city they could be so lustrous ''
'' there not normaly this bright '' i noticed that claire was shivering so i took my cap off and handed it to her `` here take this your freezing ''
'' no i couldent remove that off you will get sick you keep it you need it more than me ''
i wasnt asking take '' i took a step towards her and wrapped it over her shoulder `` thanks jake '' she said teeth almost chattering trying to smile `` so what home do you sustain in here in the city ''
'' uhh no one its just me and my babe no parents anymore just us thats why im working here to make surely she has some one she can trust on its not perfect but id do anything to try and founder her a normal living '' for some reasonableness claire paused like she was stuck in stone `` oh im sorry i shouldent of asked '' but before we could carry on a car pulled up on the other face of the street `` thats my ride thanks for waiting with me here take your crownwork ''
'' no keep back it you can give it back to me at college tomorrow '' she didnt say anything just smiled kissed me on the cheeck and ran over to her papa car and in a twinkling drove chisel off so here i was freezing and walking home with no ride and no jacket and to make thing worse with every step i took i felt like i couldent take another i looked up at the wizard as i walked down the street but the nighttime wasnt like any other there were hardly any railroad car on the road no people from what i could see no sign of life at all but the thing that was really out of place was the whiz untill something caught my eye it was like a red blaze `` what the blaze '' was all i could mutter under my breathing place as i crossed the road but my center were fixed on the red blaze it seemed to get clear and closer but as i looked down the street lights started to flicker on and off untill it was almost pitch black i tried to use the light on my phone but when i looked it was completly perfectly whats going it just kept going over and over in my mind maybe it was a power cut but if it was how would that explicate my phone it was fully charged half an minute ago i looked back up at the red blaze maybe it was connected some how but i just shrugged it off trying to convince my self it was my tierd head trying to play a joke on me my hand felt like it was burning up but i just couldent full point following the red blaze with my eyes even though every office of my consistency screamed for sleep i could see it getting closer untill i lost it in the parking lot i just had to see what it was i crossed the street to the park i put my rucksack on and jumped over the gate bairly landing on my infantry i walked on the foot track untill i saw something ahead of me i walked faster and when i stoped i saw a metore tilt in the marrow of the foot bath the ground was destroyed beneath the stone and around it the rock and roll seemed to almost glow red hot i knew i had to go but i just couldent i walked closer to it leaning down trying to wrap my nous around what exactly the this matter is but i didnt have fourth dimension to conceive in a nictation i was being jibe threw the haircloth flying backwards with rock'n'roll and concrete in my font the tilt exploded all i could sense was my hole body burning up i landing 10 ft away my mind was in over ride what the nooky was going on i looked down and i almost freaked i saw mordant tar over me as hot as oil burning into me i shouted the hole park down trying to get it off me when i looked down again it was gone but the burning still filled my body with pain i managed to grovel to my foundation and run as fast as i could back to the logic gate i held the top of it trying to pull myself up i managed to make it over but bairly i started to take the air home and the streets were still beat silent but the pain in my tummy was almost to much i lent back against a lit street weak resting my chief and dead body against it but when i did it started to flicker from bright to dark then nothing i was to freaked out to ride out around i ran sprinting down every path way i could till i finally got to my look room access i searched my jeans trying to feel my Key after a minute of looking i was able to open the door but my heading the pain took over i could finger myself blacking out and the net thing i could remember was my body hitting the base and passing out .
