Chapter 1

TWELVE YEARS AGO In high school there will always be the school's most popular playboy and the clique that followed him. But there was always the Nerdy kid who got made fun of even tho it was our last year in this zoo called a school.

My best friend was the well-known nerd that always got bullied, he'd always get hurt where ever he goes. I was thinking of telling his parents but he didn't want me to do so. I was taking care of his injuries and bruises and kinda worked as his personal therapist, it was always fun to hang out with him, we have been friends since early childhood up until now.

I was kinda falling for him and he was sending some mixed signals and back then I just thought he was into me as well but I didn't say anything about it. One day at school the girls from the clique namely Amber, Cassandra  Rose, and Marie stood at the center of the hallway while we were walking through, when we got in front of her she dragged Aaron (My best friend) and told him to come to the rooftop during lunch.

I was worried as to what the hell they would do to him up there but there was nothing I could do. Aaron is a fragile kid and like some nerds, he has bad eyesight which causes him to wear glasses. During lunch, I ate alone but Aaron was up there with those evil bitches.

When the bell rang for classes the girls came out first giggling and whispering while looking at their phones. I purposely unintentionally push Rose so I could get a look at the phone, when I did I was so shocked I was gonna throw up.

On Rose's phone has a picture of a guy who was half bald with shredded clothes and his lunch was ruined. I rush into the rooftop hoping he was there it turns out that he was at the very edge of the building attempting to jump from this 5 story-building called school.

I tried to stop him but he seemed to be mentally and emotionally broken and detached from this world, I pulled him back from the edge and told him that he doesn't have to go through all this, we could always change schools but for some reason, he wanted to stay and I decided to stay with him. I hugged him while he hugged me back crying.

Classes were still ongoing but we just stayed up there. After school was over I told him to wait for me at the abandoned park we always go to. I went over to my house and asked my parents for a doubled early allowance, since I was the eldest child they agreed but I'd have to work twice the chores. I get $800 dollars as a regular allowance but today I got $1600 dollars. I ran upstairs took a shower dressed up and rode my skateboard to the park. When I got there I couldn't find him. I searched for him around the park but I couldn't find him. I searched deeper to the heart of the park and then I found him on the swing.

I screamed his name but he didn't answer me. I ran closer to him and pulled out his headphones, then he looked up and saw me. He said, "...Oli-Olivia is that you?".

I sat next to him and returned his headphones, I asked him if he had plans for the rest of the day and tomorrow since tomorrow is a Saturday and he said he had to do some chores tomorrow but will be free at 10 am. I told him we'll be going shopping tomorrow but for today we'll go to the hair salon to get some hair cut, and he said sure but we'll have to stop by his house before going so he could get some money.

We stopped by his house, I greeted his parents and we went up to his room because I have been going over to their house since I was a kid they let me go to his room. I sat on his reading table while he went to go get his money from his stashes. He was the only kid so he always got loads of allowance for getting A's in class, not for chores.

He kept his money inside a big piggy bank I got him under his bed. I left his room and went to the kitchen so he could take a shower. His mom was in the kitchen and was asking about my parents and siblings.
