Chapter three

~4 years later~ Kane is now 16 years old

"Kane! Noah is here!" My mother yelled. I got up from my bed and ran to the front door and opened it. And yes Noah is still my friend. "Noah! Come in" I said and let him in, we sat down in the living room to talk. "So, How you holdin' up with your fathers business?" Nah asked. *Sigh* "Well, it hard to do and get everyone to listen to what I say, very hard" I said laughing. "Well, have fun!" He said. The front door banged open and my father walked in looking high. "Father?! Whats wrong with you? You look really high" I said trying to keep my laughter in. "That's because I almost lost my job" *Wait What* "What do you mean by 'lost your job'' He came and sat down while my mother fixed dinner. "Well, I got into a fight with my boss, It was funny" *Oh my lord* "MOM! Take dad to bed h-he is h-high!" I yelled while laughing. "Come on Ray, bedtime" My mother said trying to get him out the bed. "NOOOOOOO" My father cried out and I couldn't take it anymore, Noah and I just busted out laughing.

When we finished dinner, Noah went home and I stayed up and finished my work from the job. "Ok, now i'm done" I said and my mother walked in. "Well, night mom I'm done also" I said and she nodded and gave me a hug and I went off to bed.

>﹏<

BEEEEEEP!!

SMASH!!

I smashed my alarm clock off and got up, changed and went into the kitchen. "Morning mom, dad" I said when I entered the kitchen. "Morning honey!" My mom said sounding what was that excited? I asked myself. "Here eat up" She handed me my blueberry pancakes. *Yum my favorite* I put my dish in the sink once I finished and it was off to school yay. *Note the sarcasm* I walked outside and waited for the bus to come. I got on the bus and if took off to school. I walked off the bus and saw Noah waiting for me there. "Wassup buddies!" I said and Noah and I walked into the school building. I walked to my locker and grabbed my things out of it and shut it closed. "Well, well, well If it isn't Kane the pain" I turned around and saw Billy. "What now Billy the goat" He just smirked. "Well, I need something from you" He said and I shook my head. "You always want something from me, I'm not givin' it to you" I said and he looked behind him and smirked. "BILLY IN MY OFFICE!! NOW!!" I heard someone yell and billy stormed away saying. "I will get you back Kane the pain!" He yelled and Noah came up and started laughing then the bell rung and we went to class.

~Skip to lunch~

Noah and I grabbed our food and sat down in our normal seat. "What you gonna do about the military Noah?" I asked and he looked up. "Not sure I think I'm gonna take the ROTC form first" He said. *ROTC sounds cool* "I might just join you" I said and his face lit up. "Really? Thanks" He said and then the bell rung. "Well, you later" I say and I went to math.

"Good morning class, Turn in your homework in the basket and we are doing notes today" She said *Sigh not math* Ugh I hate math. Then we started taking notes.

RING!!

Everyone took off out the classroom. "Kane, can I see you for a bit?" The teacher asked and I walked to her desk. "Ok, I heard that you and Noah wanted to be in ROTC? Is that right?" She asked. "Yes!" I said and she smiled. "That's great I can sign you two up is that alright with you?" She asked and smiled. "That's great!" I nearly yelled. "Ok, see you tomorrow then" She said and I walked out and hopped on the bus.

"Here's your stop Kane" I heard the bus driver say. I thanked him and got off the bus. I unlocked my door and opened it and walked in. I stopped. *WTH!!* I shut the door and walked all the way in. "MOM! DAD!?!" I yelled and mom came in crying. "What's wrong with the house? Why is there a mess?" I said and she just started crying even more. "Mom? Answer me?" I said and she just looked at me. "S-someone c-came i-in and t-trashed the p-place looking for-" She stopped. "Looking for what?" I yelled. "For y-you" she said and I just stared at her and started cleaning the place up. "Where's dad?" I asked her. "He went to the police" She said and once I got done the house started to shake. "What is going on here?" I said and someone busted in the front door. Noah? " What's wrong?" I asked him. "You have to come with me!!" He yelled over the things falling then the shake stopped.

Noah and I walked to an empty house. "What are we doing in here?" I asked him and someone came in the house. "Hello, Noah and Kane" I heard someone say so I turned around and saw an man that looked like he was in his late 30's. "Who are you?" I asked him when I turned around. "I have a job for both of you" He said and I looked confused. "I already have one" I said and he just shook his head and Noah chimed in. "Your boss said that you don't work with him anymore but you work with his brother which is the man behind you" He said and I turned around. "What type of job is it?" I asked the man and he smiled. "You two will be in the military when y'all turn 18" He said and I nodded. "Do my parents know?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yeah, they said that you being in the military will help you" He said and I nodded. "Ok, you two can go home now" He said and we walked home.

When I got home everything was cleaned up and mom was cooking and dad was reading a news paper. "I'm home!" I yelled and they both turned around and smiled. "The foods almost ready, go clean up" Mom said and I went in my room and changed into my night clothes and went in the Kitchen to see mom making some pasta with toast. *yum* We sat down and ate. Once I got done I went straight to bed. "Night mom and dad!!" I yelled and they said it back and I laid down and slept.
