Christopher's Story

Heh, well I got picked on a lot, and I wasn't the most attentive student always, later being put in a different learning environment ... Really the only reason I'm joining this is to clarify my past... There is a lot I can't remember, due to some things that have happened to me... But I remember our gym teacher use to spank the kids on their birthday, though it was humiliating it was odd and I know he didn't mean any harm by it. I remember never really being able to go outside with the other kids because I had screwed up in some way or another. I remember really trying, even though it was always hard to pay attention when teachers were constantly following me with flash cards and scolding me for being a bit different then others. I do how ever remember that there were a few that were very kind to me, putting up with my differences... This is hard to put into words right... In my earliest years... Jerry... he was my best friend, a friend that I would have had no regrets running away with to this day... For the life of me I can't remember your last name buddy... I remember that you had become very distant and even angry with me the last days we were together... we use to find adventure in all things before that. it was always me and you against the rest of the world... Jerry, if your reading this... Do you remember that? How it was when things were so simple? I remember there was something about a girl, but really at that age I don't think we even knew so much about love. Maybe you were mad at me for some other reason... But I remember we made a pact that regardless what the world threw at us, we would be there for each other. Please man, I need to hear from you. I intend to keep that promise I made you all those years ago... I feel kind of dumb for doing this, but its the best idea I can come up with for finding you. Yeah, alright my life at present...Expand for more
is all messed up, and We are both very different people now, but... Jerry, you were the reason that I made it through the rest of the years of fulmar road... even through middle school I've though about you man... Maybe because your parting gift to me was stabbing me in the hand with a pencil, or maybe its because no matter what happened you were there, helping me through my mothers alcohol addition, I know you didn't really know about it, and I myself didn't understand it. but it was still hard you know? and you eased that pain so greatly that life became bearable... you know? But after you left I remember becoming miserable, clinging to kids that only kept me around for a laugh or so that there was some one that would listen to them, or do what they wanted... Exiled at the very moment that I didn't do what they wanted or if I didn't pick on a kid that they disliked... But I fought on man, I kept going and I'm finished with school now... You have never been forgotten man, because... you were my first friend that I ever had... I know this so well that it hurts. I can't remember a lot of my life, there are a lot of holes in my memory due to things that happened. But you are my only clear memory of actual happiness back then. Your the reason that I'm still standing today. I know this is a bit creepy, but I just need to talk to you... I need to see what we can remember. I need to know that your ok, that you haven't passed away and that your happy in life... I don't even know if you even ever think about me, or remember me, but please E-mail me or something... you might have the answers I don't... and any one reading this that might know who I'm talking about, he moved away around first grade or kindergarten. but we even went to the temple school near the firehouse that would sound every day really loudly... please anyone! just tell me he's alright...
