i don't own anything from the movie>>>

Well, here's a new story for ya. Not totally sure where i'm going with this, but we'll just have to see. It's sort of a Song fic...but not really. I heard a song that kind of fits with the story, so i'm gonna put some lyrics in here and there i suppose. Anyway, on with the story. Hope you enjoy. R and R

OH! the song i'm gonna kind of use is: This is a Call (hence how i thought of the title), By Thousand Foot Krutch. (good song! really, really good!)


People always thought I had it all. Captain and supposed 'star' of the high school basketball team, I was thought to have the 'ideal life.' What the hell is an ideal life, anyway? If that's what I had, then I didn't want it. People had no idea.

'Ideal.' Seriously, what does that word mean? I looked it up one time and this is the definition I got: desirable; perfect. Hah! I'd like to find the people who desire my life and slap them for being stupid. No body knew. Now, NORMAL life...maybe that I can buy. And that's only because of my family, and today's 'normal' family is a broken one. Divorce and unhappy marriages are so common now that it's pathetic. It's funny how the old 'normal' family used to be a stay-at-home-mom/wife who cooked and cleaned with a smile on her face while her husband went out and worked during the day. Sounds kind of boring, but I would've loved that.

I did a good job of convincing people I was happy though, so I guess I was always proud of that. Pity was something that I never really wanted. I never really got it either. Neighbors pretty much never had a clue what went on in my house. I had some pretty interesting neighbors though, and they were cool. L.A.'s 'King-of-the-streets' himself lived right across the street. Him and his friends were pretty cool, but they didn't have a clue about it either. Well, they didn't for a long time, anyway...funny how something you see as 'no big deal' can change everything. Can change your whole life...
