1 It all began on that day

My name's Xander Johnson and I'm here to tell my story let's start from the beginning of the everything. My family and I were at a friend's house and my dad had too much to drink and when it was time to leave my mom was too distracted wishing her friend's a goodnight and stuff to notice that dad was wasted at the time , she had gotten into the car at this point and dad had started the car up. I still remember when her reaction when she told him to pull over , she started to panic and put her hands on the wheel which caused us to swerve and hit a big truck in front of us my mom got hurt the worst her injuries were skull fracture, six broken ribs, and a dislocation of her spinal cord. My dad had a concussion and a broken arm and leg. Me on the other hand I'm lucky because my seat belt was locked all I was left with was a bruise from the seat belt on my chest and a few cuts,soon after the accident I regained consciousness and seen a horrible thing I could never forget my mom slouched over and making noise and blood was fall from her mouth and head the man we hit was okay and came to take me ,my mom and dad out when he had seen how badly hurt my mom and dad were he went to get his phone to call for help. It took 45 mins for the to reach us , but by the time they had gotten to us my mom was half way dead , a medic ask if I was in any serious pain, I responded with a I'm okay what about my parents , I looked at my mom the medic said don't look ,so she took me to a cop and I was put in a cop car , the cop introduced himself his name was Lorenzo Lee and he told me he has a son the same age as me (I was 11 at the time) and he would like if we could meet one day ,he told me his son name was Antonio. I asked why his son had such a name because I had never heard of it before ,he replied with he's named after my brother who was kill, I-i so sorry I didn't mean to pry , it's okay you were curious no hurt feeling here how about we go get some ice cream to make you feel better yah or nah how about it, sure let's go. Soon we had gotten ice cream and cop Lee asked if I wanted to go and see his son I agreed to go see his son , when we had gotten to his house it looked nice to me when he reached the door he opened the door so we can enter and the tv was on I looked at the couch and seen a boy with jet black hair he looked at me in confusion and got up from the couch and introduced himself saying hi my name is Antonio what's your name (At this point I was scared shitless as too how tall he was for an eleven year old) my name is Xander nice to meet you. After introducing are self's I asked Mr. Lee after getting off the phone,when can I see my parents he replied with soon but you need a place to stay for the time being he asked if I wanted to say with the I agreed because he had open arms for me. Time was flying by so fast one month past soon I had to say bye to Mr. Lee and his son Antonio, Antonio said I hope we run paths again in the future I replied I hope we do as I was leaving it felt like eternity as I was heading back home to see my father. When we reach my home Mr. Lee said this is your stop kiddo I hugged him as I was getting out of the car and walked to the door and rang the doorbell and to my surprise I see my dad's face and he looked upset and furious I asked what's wrong dad he replied with get in the house you stupid brat. Sooner then later I was being hit and starved and locked in my room, I had to go to school with bruises covering me my teacher would see and react in terror and asked how did I get them I would just day my father hits me because I looked like my mother my teacher said we have to report this I begged her not to tell anyone about this she said okay ,she didn't listen and told it caused a lot of things to happen my Dad stopped hitting me for the time being because he had gotten a call from the school about the incident , one thing lead to another the teacher lost her job and my dad put me in a new school where I got bullied (at the time I was fourteen years old an 8th grader) I met a person who I thought was my friend so I told him something I was ready to tell my on father I told my fake friend I was gay and after he hear that he yelled to get the class attention to tell them I was gay and from there on it had gotten worse until I graduated , I was so happy because I don't have to see the same people again who caused me so much pain in the past. High School here I come!
