It wasn’t an inquiring town, no real interest about it at all. It was one of those forgotten places you find when you’re going on vacation to Disney World or something, just somewhere you pass by. Everyone within 500 miles of there knew it was dead, they could feel a strange cold sensation pass over them even before they entered town.
With a population of around 5065 and dropping, people questioned what the residence saw in this dead beat town they were stuck in; nothing, that’s what.
Townsfolk here either couldn’t afford to make a better living and move, made a living as a small town doctor, or others just couldn’t leave their hearts behind in a place where their parents had raised them. It must have been beautiful once upon a time, but soon turned dark due to young teens being influenced by modern gang violence. People moved, and this small town of *INSERT NAME HERE* was the product.
Now the kids are cold hearted, almost like the musky streets on a frigid fall morning. From living here, most of these young adults have learned or are learning they have no future; either being taught this or figuring it out for themselves, the fact was the same. It was implanted into their free spirited minds, slowly bringing them down, now never to be removed - with an acception of a couple of kids with a never-ending dream..

“I think he’s waking up...” whispered Audrina. Nick blinked his eyes a couple times, finally getting his eyesight back to normal. The first thing his dark, misjudged eyes gazed upon was Audrina’s sweet face, capturing her green and inviting eyes just perfectly in the moonlight.
Nick shook his head, snapping out of his trance.
“What happened?” questioned Audrina, still staring in wonder.
“Dude, that’s the fourth knock-out this week, what’s wrong with you?!” demanded Travis, stomping around in frustration. His big blue eyes swelled up with anger, and his open hands formed into fists, but soon the tension was gone.
There was an awkward silence, probably just the three of them digesting their emotions. “Come on and get up before you get ran over.” Travis said. and he stuck out his hand. Nick simply pushed it away and stood up by himself, almost tumbling over. A scoff came from Travis, but it was ignored. Nick looked down, soon realizing his body had been lying on pavement for God knows how long.
“How long have I been here..?” inquired Nick, brushing off his dirt stained jeans.
“A couple of days - we thought you tried to work things out with your mom, but until we didn’t hear from you, we got worried..” Audrina said quietly, trying to hold back her crystal clear tears running from her eyes. Travis brought her into his arms, whispering something, probably not to be scared or sad.
“I’m sorry I worried you guys,” sighed Nick. “this guy was just, all up in my face, I guess temper sort of took over.”
“Dang right it did, I don’t know what we could have done if this was any worse.. You know what?? I don’t even want to think about it!” yelled Travis. He tugged his shaggy light brown hair, his unique way of showing frustration. Travis never usually had big blow ups like this, but this must have ticked him off quite a bit. It was usually Nick who was yelling, getting all peeveded off at Travis’ stupid decisions.
“Let’s get you back to Travis’ place and wash you off, the beat is pretty bad.” said Audrina. Her tears were finally all dried up, and she was ready to go.
They walked side by side, shoulder to shoulder, down the same deserted road that they had walked numerous times before. The same distorted feeling always came over them, but no one said a word.
These kids were never shown true affection, from parents, school mates, no one. Their lives and emotional breakdowns depended on each other for support, and they knew this well like the back of their hands. Unfortunately, no one else could understand, and this brings us to know, a display of abandonment affecting a couple of kids more than you can ever imagine- but deep down, far past all of the past experiences, there is a light that still bares a hopeful dream, awaiting a time to come out and shine.
This hasn't been edited very well, but you know I will. ;] I want to know what you think and what I should do to fix it up please and thanks. Oh yes, and please don't copy it, I would appreciate it. =]
