Chapter 1

Hey everybody so this is gonna start with how I met this boy but what is it about him that I like so much honestly I don't know but I'll eventually figure it out over the years I'll start with where and when we met I was 5 he was 7 and we became best friends and then he mysteriously disappeared and never came back to the house. His name is Lathan Parlor we are well were best friends but then he brought his girlfriend over that day was 3 years ago I stayed at his house for a while but I couldn't take it anymore so I went home I didn't tell him I went home but then later in the day he came over to my house (we are neighbors). The thing that scared me the most is that he seemed a little upset but wasn't showing it on the outside. Ok so I'm gonna give you a little background information about Landon's dad, lathans dad does a lot of drugs and he also drinks a lot he has been in jail 3 times in the last 7 years he wasn't in for long because his new wife Bradi would bail him out every time. And my neighbors were thinking and figured out that Brad (Lathan's dad) was also abusing braid and his 2 kids that he had with Bradi, Cason age 10 and laden age 5 Bradi and brad had 2 kids together laden and Cason. Lathan's mom is not Bradi I don't know her name and I have never met her but I know she lives in Carlisle. Lathan came almost every weekend but then he started to come less as we got older and then one summer 2 years ago I think he didn't come back the whole summer and then the next summer he came back 1 weekend every month because his mom got upset because apparently he was "causing trouble at the Carly house", and so the next summer which was last summer the Carly family moved to town because they didn't have enough money to continue renting the house next door to us because of brad and his drugs. This summer I went to the fair and I saw Lathan at the monster jam and surprisingly even after not seeing each other for almost 3 years he still could recognize me he waved up at me and he was so god damn cute with his little brother not Cason or laden but one of his brothers from his mom's side of the family in his arms and they both were smiling up at me I cried that night because I missed him so much he got a lot hotter he is 15 now I think or 14 I can never remember how old he is or when his birthday is I just know that his birthday is in April and he is at least 2 years older than me. After the monster jam day, I haven't seen him again to this day so it has been almost 2 years since I saw him, and I may never see him again.
