Chapter Two- David

I couldn't ask for a more amazing family. Me and my two brothers had the best parents we could have ever asked for. We were all very close and loving. My dad is a fireman, strong and one day I want to be like him. My father always called me "Tiger." My mother was truly amazing, she was a truly gifted cook. She always had the house cleaned, and had dinner ready for my dad when he got home. We loved spending time together as a family. Mother would always teach us life lessons, she would sit us down and explain things to us as they would become a factor in our lives. My mother loved the Holidays, she really got into it and we always knew we would get the best of them. Ever day after dinner, mother and father used to take us to watch the sunset as we all held hands and enjoyed it. We all truly loved one another and nothing would have ever gotten between that. Especially when we went to my favorite place in the world, the Russian River. It was so amazing, I just don't understand what happened to my family.

Chapter One- David

I couldn't be more happy than to have a box of cookies of my very own, knowing I'm safe. I was so hungry from last night, that I anticipated to get the dishes done so I could receive the leftovers of my brother's cereal. I no sooner got my breakfast down, that I had to leave for school in a rush, knowing I was going to be late. I left my lunch in the car in a sprint to get to my class before the bell rang. I was so late, I had to report to the office and that's when it all began. The nurse takes me to her office and we run through a normal routine, when she notices the bump above my eye from where mother through me upon the counter this morning. The nurse wasn't happy with what she seen, and it was like suddenly everyone started talking and whispering, and some were even crying. I suddenly seen a police officer, and knew I had done something wrong. I begged and begged to not let them call my mother, but I had no choice. When I got to the police station, Officer Smith called my mother and told her that I wasn't coming home, and I suddenly felt a burden lift off my shoulders, and I knew I could smile for once in my life.
