          • Sooner Than It Seems Life Turns Around By Dre

I wake when the sun hit me right in the face. I always love morning.

I quickly wash my face and brush my teeth. It's another weekend, last weekend in the summer before I go to college.

Me and my family will go camping. Isn't it just nice? I have a very great family, anyway, even I was adopted.

Well, let me tell you about my family. My dad -George- is rich, he owned a big company. My mom -Lindsay- is a very motherly mom, she is a type of mom that you will find in fairytale as a Motherfairy or something.

They're on their mid 40s, and they're happy, I always think they married a bestfriend, because they get along so nicely.

I have a brother and sister, and they're twins. They're 6 years older than me, and I love them. Ryan, is a marine, he said that he found a happiness by helping people and working for the country. Ashley, well, she was a model, before she found out that photography is awesome. Oh, and she was married once, to Ryan's friend, Penn, also a marine. But he died in some mission, leaving Ashley and Mason, their son.

Mason is a gift to our family, a cute 5-year-old little boy.

And then there's me, Dre. Mom said I'm a mixed races, Asian, Puerto Rican, and Caucasian. I'm the only dark hair person in my family, they're all blonde. But dad said that they just love me when they first saw me, then they adopted me.

Well, my life is perfect. But it will soon changed.

The camping was perfect, and now it's time to go home, when the accident happen. Our RV hit by a truck, and it's destroyed. My parents died in the crash, so did Ryan. Ashley made it to the hospital, and Mason is fine, amazingly, because Ashley held him so tight, and me, I got two scars in my face, the right side, but I'm fine. But everything changes since Ashley said "take care of Mason for me", and then she left me, forever.

I'm crushed, I'm terrible, I don't know what to do. I cursed myself, I should been dead too. Now I have from everything, to nothing, just in seconds. Why is life so unfair? Is there any law in this world that needs sacrifice or something as a payback for the happiness I feel?

I didn't cry in my family's funeral, I didn't even know why, my heart's broken, so broken, and Mason is too young to know everything, he just knew that our family is in the happy place now.

But life must go on. And now I owned my dad's company. But i want to go to college, away from this city, away from Miami. So I ask my dad's brother, Lucas, to help me run the company while I'm gone, and he agreed.

I always wanted to go to college in LA, But not this way, not this time, when I'm in the most terrible time in my life.

My mom once said "follow your heart and your dream, don't listen to what other people say". So that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll leave east coast, to the west coast. And of course I take Mason with me. I don't know how to raise a child and go to college in the same time, but I'm sure I'll figure out a way.

I bought a nice house, a one-floored small house for me and Mason, and it's not so far from my college, so I guess it's just perfect.

I hire a babysitter to take care of Mason while I'm gone.

And there's everything started.

My first day has started, and I got to face it. I can't sleep well since the accident, so I must have panda eyes now. Since I got to arranged everything I started college late, the new semester has started for a couple weeks.

I hate being a new guy, everyone will be staring at me like 'who's that guy?', and I really can't take that.

In my first and second class, I'm fine, but in my third, the teacher ask me to introduce myself in front of the class, my face must be blushing.

In the lunchbreak, everybody keeps asking me the same question 'where did you come from', 'how old are you', etc.

But I really can't think right now, I need some air, so I go to the field.

There, the football players and cheerleaders are practicing, and that's the first time I saw him.

He is tall, dirty blonde hair, and absolutely gorgeous, just like a Greek God. I forget to breath.

I'm really not ready when our eyes met, so I just run away, to my next class.

After that, second lunchbreak, and I need to find my locker. I found it, but after set the code I still can't open it.

I must be looked like an idiot now, and a gossip of 'stupid new guy who can't open his locker' will be spread out soon.

"You need any help?", just four words, but it made me forget to breath again when I see who posses such a beautiful voice. It's him, my Greek God. Standing right next to me, offering me some help. He is a perfect specimen, that green eyes, full lips, broad shoulder, and again, the messy dirty blonde hair. Gosh, I forget my name.

"Uhm..y-yes..sure, thanks", I said. Then he show me how to open my locker, but I can't take my eyes from his hands, his strong hands.

"Eerr, thanks", I really don't know what to say.

He chuckled "You already said that", he said.

"Are you new here?I never seen you before", he said.

"Yeah..It's my first day", I awkwardly answer.

"By the way, the name's Matthew, you can call me Matt", he said as he offered a hand to shake.

I reach that hand "Dre".

"Nice to meet you, Dre", he said as he started walking away. "Oh and next time you see me, don't run, okay?", he chukled then walk away. I nodded my head like an idiot. Oh my gosh, he knew I ran from him.

At home, after pay the babysitter, I play with Mason. He's just so adorable, the other reason why I love him so much. He show me the sketch about me and him in the new house. Somehow, he knows that mom, dad, Ashley, and Ryan won't be come back. I feel the tears in my eyes, but quickly remove it before Mason see it.

"Hey Lil-Ems (that's how I call him), you want to go to McDonalds?", I know he likes McDonalds, and I mean he loves McDonalds.

"Sure Drey!!", he smiles so wide just like a little boy in candy store.


Part two is coming soon, but tell me guys, should I continue it? Or maybe there's something you don't like? Tell me, I'll be happy to heard from you in heyitsdre99@yahoo.com

Cheers! .Dre.
