LOGINI've been picked up by the police a dozen times now. Fortunately, I mostly got away with a black eye. My criminal record, which already consisted of minor shoplifting, countless brawls, illegal car races, gun ownership, stolen goods and minors in public drunkenness, grew longer and longer and it was only a matter of time before something worse happened.
Unfortunately, this also happened at the end of my current 15 years, which is why my mum had to get me out of custody and finally wanted to leave the country overnight with me ...
I've been alive since the incident two years ago, just for the moment. I didn't care about anything by now, just to take a breath and feel that I was still alive ...
^^^^^^^^
“Are you ready, Preston?
Preston please stop dreaming! "
my mum wanted to know from me right away. All of a sudden she was standing in the threshold, freshly styled and smartly dressed. Tesa wore a pink, loose, knee-length dress. Her long brown hair fell wildly curled over her shoulders. Even her, also, shining blue eyes, thanks to the black kajal, came into their own even better. In short, yes, my mum just looked hot, which I was kind of proud of.
"Yes I am," I replied curtly and threw my black backpack over my shoulders. On the way to the airport, I sat next to Mum, in the rental car, and suddenly became calmer.
"Hey? What's wrong with you, my baby? ”Tesa wanted to know, glancing at me.
"Nothing. I like Joe ... just ... not that much, "I stuttered, leaning my head against the rainy window pane.
"How do you come up with that now? He's nice and made a good impression on you when I showed him to you. You even skyped together. And now please stop being so suspicious. There is no turning back, young man! I really can't hear this whining any more, ”Tesa argued with unusual severity and concentrated on the traffic again.
I knew deep down that I absolutely didn't want to move in with Joe. Maybe it was because we somehow didn't get along, I thought hard.
When we made a phone call, at the request of my mum, Joe had made a normal impression, but somehow ambiguous remarks kept coming up that unsettled me. For example, the two were talking. I wanted to go to the toilet, but I stood petrified behind the bathroom door and overheard the conversation that made me shiver:
“He lacks discipline and manners!” I heard him say.
“I know myself that Preston is not that easy, but he's still my son and unfortunately in the middle of puberty, Joe. I'm not leaving him behind and you know that very well. If you want to be with me, then you have to accept my son too. I told you that from the start when we first met. He is all I have and still a child who lacks a father, ”Tesa defended me.
“The boy is, in my opinion, difficult to educate and he won't listen to you anyway. How do you imagine that in Germany? Should it go on like this? Bad enough he was in jail at that young age. You don't have it under control anymore. They'll take the boy away from you if you don't finally take action. "
Both of them stopped talking abruptly when I was able to break free from my shock and join them.
When I noticed the page was soaked in blood, I had to stop. I couldn't write any more. My action at that moment was frozen by the sight. My right hand and my ballpoint pen were already covered in blood. I closed my eyes and closed the book first, pushed it under my bed before I got up and then quietly but quickly scurried into the bathroom. Once there, I frantically washed my hands and my left forearm. Two of the cuts were even deeper than expected. Immediately I went to the closet and packed the basket with bandages under my arm, with, to my room. There I bandaged my forearm. Then I did the same with my right hand.I needed another cigarette. My body started shaking and obviously seemed to be in withdrawal. I lit a butt and immediately took the first draft. Immediately I felt my racing heartbeat calm down and I buried my bound hand in my pocket.It was already quite late in the evening. Suddenly my mum was standing in my room. In my life I hadn't expected her any
Damn it, what was he doing here now? My head moved to the side and I noticed that the boys from the parallel class have also arrived here. Obviously we had sports together. Great!"Then pay close attention, Raul. You better let go of me now and never touch me again! I definitely don't want any stress with you here! Just leave me alone and you better get out of my way! And by the way, I want to have my jacket back right away, ”I replied meekly and tore myself away from the guy in panic. I couldn't bear to be touched anymore. I was aloof!Raul looked at me from head to toe before he let go of my collar and immediately grabbed my left arm when I reflexively wanted to turn away from him. I caught my breath in shock, so that I could hardly breathe.“I really want to, for you, Preston hope. Oh, look at that. Our fagot is even an emo! It also cuts itself! Are you going to cry in a corner now? Why do you actually do something stupid? You are probably not tha
The radio jumped on and said something about 30 degrees and bright sunshine. As soon as I opened my eyes and wanted to switch off the alarm clock, pleasant music started playing and I turned on the other side."Preston do I have to wake you every day? Get up and come down," came Joe's stern voice."Hmm ... I'll be right there," I muttered, pressing my head into the pillow again."I hope so," he replied and audibly left the floor.Oh man, I didn't feel like going to school, I thought to myself and slowly tormented myself. I mean, after yesterday's botched school start, I couldn't look forward to having to go there again. Because I didn't necessarily want to experience more embarrassments again.Completely sleepy, I padded to the closet, pulled some fresh clothes out of the closet and strolled with them into the bathroom. Finished washed and styled, I examined my hair one last time in the mirror. One, two, three strands that fell annoyingly in my fac
Preston o`Connor! It's a shame that we have to get to know each other like this. This is your first day of school and you are already getting noticed. I don't even want to know what you have to say about it. Not to mention because of them Raul Hamton! You will both be warned! I will contact your parents and inform them of this incident. If this happens again, I'll give you a reprimand! And now go back to your classes. The conversation is over! ”, The burly older man with dark brown short hair and a beard explained to us."Please excuse the inconvenience, Mr. Brown," I said quietly and Raul apologized as well. We both got up and went outside without a word."We are far from finished Preston," Raul warned me and disappeared.I also strolled back to my class, shaking my head.At my old school, I was the gangster who always hung out with high school students. The girls flew on me in a row and I never had any problems finding followers. You only needed t
Hi you pretty ones. How are you? ", I asked overpowering the group.“Good and yourself?” One of them wanted to know."Girls. This is Preston. Preston that's Hannah, Michaela, Antonia and Paula. You already know my BBF Betti and me. Hannah and Antonia are in our parallel class, ”Laura introduced me to the girls, one after the other, starting from the left."Hi," I replied legendarily.“And did you arrive safely? How do you like school so far? Now I finally have the pleasure to talk to you. Our new one in the class, "Paula immediately poked me."Yes, everything is great. It's just a little strange having to get up so early in the morning, Paula. My school always started at nine, ”I explained patiently."What really? You had it good Why did you move to Germany? You lived in America ”, this Paula continued to bombard me."You look really cute", Hannah whispered suddenly, with a bright red head in betwee
Yes, Ms. Brown," I couldn't bring myself to say so easily.“Your class is 10 F. The class leader is called Ms. Liebhold. Unfortunately, I can't leave here at the moment, because I'm alone and waiting for an important call. But I'm sure you will find your own class. It's also very easy. You have to go upstairs next to our office, to the first floor and left to the very back. On the wall, next to the classrooms, are the classes and the cables on them. If I am not mistaken, it should be the third or second door from the back on the right, ”she explained to me with illuminated hand movements."OK. Thank you. I'll find it, ”I replied and politely said goodbye.I followed their instructions and immediately found my new class at the penultimate door. I paused for a moment in front of the locked door. He took another deep breath and finally knocked haphazardly and entered."Um, good morning ... I'm Preston o´Connor. I ... I'm probably new
