Chapter 9-Is this the End or the Beginning (Final Chapter)
"You did what now?!?!?!" I yelled at my parents.
"Calm down Drake!"
"Why should I calm down? I just found out that you were behind the car accident, the gang jumping and being locked in the burning house!"
"You're hearing things, now just sit down."
"No, some birthday this is."
"It not your birthday today Drake; your birthday is not until April 4."
"It is my birthday. It sad, you took care of me for fifteen years of my life and you don't know that my birthday is March 5th."
"Get over here now!!!"
"No, you don't want me. Why should I listen to you?"
There was load pounding on my door then I heard my 'dad' yelled something out at me.
I did not care. I grab a piece of paper and wrote down my farewell down.
I then open the window and jumped out. I made sure that they didn't see me.
I started to run to Carlos's house as fast as I can. Once I got there I was out of breath. I knocked on the door and waited for anybody to answer.
The door open and I saw Carlos parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marquez.
"Hello Drake. What are you doing here? Carlos left to the airport earlier today. Didn't he tell you?"
"He did. I just wanted to give him this." I then give Mrs. Marquez the note and then said "I have to leave now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye Drake."
I then exit the place and started to head to the hotel. It was the tallest building in the city so I was going to jump off there.
While I was walking to the hotel, Mr and Mrs. Marquez open the note I left for Carlos and then quickly call Carlos to tell him of my attempt at suicide.
I arrived at the hotel and look at the elevator. It was out of order so I took the stairs and started my climb to the top of the twenty three story building.
While I was walking to the hotel, Carlos was being informed of my suicide attempt at the hotel. He then started to leave the airport even though he was waiting for someone there. They had his phone number so they can call him if they get lost.
Carlos quickly got in his car and started to drive to the hotel. On the way there he gets a phone call from somebody he hasn't met but knows.
"Where are you? We can't find you anywhere?" The unknown person said.
"Sorry. I have to leave to stop Drake from killing himself."
"What?! Where is he?"
"He is heading to the tallest building in town, it the hotel on Bullard and Shaw in the middle of town. Do you know how to get there?"
"Yes. We will meet you there. Please save Drake, Carlos."
"I will die trying."
I was back at the hotel, slowly climbing each step and making sure I was doing the right thing.
Once at the top I look at myself and said, "Am I really do the right thing. I mean I still have Carlos for the rest of this year. But after that I have no one. My 'parents' don't want me. They even tried to kill me.
"Well I guess there no choice now. I just end my life now for everybody sake. No one wants me and no one will remember me. Here I go."
I started to walk forward when the door was shot open.
"Stop!" Carlos yelled as he open the door quickly.
I look over at him and then said "I guessing your parents told you. I knew I should have asked to slip the note in your room, so you wouldn't try to convince me to stop."
"I'm not letting you go through with Drake!"
"Why? Do you remember when I got into a coma from the car accident four years ago?"
"Yes I remember but no matter what you say, I'm not letting you do this. I made a promise and I keeping it."
"Well I'll try to convince you. My parents were the ones driving the car. They were also responsible for the gang jumping and locking the door on me during the fire."
"Then why don't you sue. They tried to kill you. You can win your case and you won't have to end your life."
"No. Nobody wants my here so I'll grant them their wish and kill myself."
"So that it. You're not going to stop and think about it? Well then there is only one thing I can say and that is that you parents are here and want you to stop what you are doing."
"Lair! My 'parents' tried to kill me. Did you forget that? Goodbye Carlos. You were the only true friend I had."
I jump off the building and start to see my life flash before my eyes.
As soon as I jumped off Carlos quickly jumped after me, he wasn't going to let me die when he knows I have a very promising future.
He starts to fall down chasing after me. He turns his body and went head first to catch up even faster.
I was just relaxing waiting for death when I felt something hit me hard and then I felt Carlos open his wings to save us.
We both were going so fast that his wings were struggling to support us. We were both about fifty feet from the ground when his wings move us forward and we crash into a building.
We were bleeding badly, him more then I. He landed on top of me and we were both coughing badly.
After I stop coughing I looked at Carlos and said "Why did you save my life Carlos? Why? I told you everything about my life and yet you still try to save me."
Carlos chuckle and said, "I made a promise with your parents. I wasn't going to break it, even if it was going to be the end of me."
"I just told you up there that my 'parents' tried to kill me. Why would they ask you to keep me alive?"
Carlos chuckle because he knew something that I didn't, "I didn't meant them Crystal."
"What? Then who are you taking about?" I was shocked that he wasn't taking about them.
"I was taking about your birth parents, Suzy and Troy Lawler. I found them on the internet and ask them to come take you back. I also told them that you wanted to leave your foster parents because they didn't care about you. Now do you understand why I save your life?"
"Yeah I understand. Thank you Carlos, for everything you did for me. Now how about we leave?"
"You'll have to carry me down. I don't think I'll be able to move that well."
"Alright then let's go. Can you get up or do I have to lift you."
"I think I can get up but I won't be able to stand up for very long."
"Okay then, just stand up and I do the rest."
Carlos then slowly stands up and he was struggling to stand for any longer.
I quickly stand up and help support him. I look at him and he nods knowing that I was waiting to see if he was conformable. I grab him and had his right arm over my shoulder and walked to the window. I then open my wings and started our slow descend to the floor.
As we were lowering to the ground, I saw lots of ambulances coming to a stop at the hotel. I also saw Mr. Marquez's car. Once Carlos and I were on the ground the paramedics rush through the crowd that formed around the hotel.
"We need you two to fellow us."
"Okay."
As we walked through the crowd, the police started to tape the area around and kicking people out of the way.
We arrived at the ambulance and the paramedics took Carlos and me to the back. Carlos and I just waited for the doctors to finish examining us.
Through the crowd Mr. Marquez and his wife were pushing through. Once they got to the fount the police stop them.
"Sorry. Nobody is allowed pass this point."
"But we are their parents, please let us pass."
"Okay, you may pass."
They pass through and saw Carlos and me.
Mr. and Mrs. Marquez quickly rush over to Carlos. I kept on hearing how they would do anything for him, and if he was feeling okay.
I was alone, with no one to hold until I heard someone, "He over there."
I looked up and I see two very bid dragons walking over to me. The first one was blue, six feet maybe four inches. It was easily male or a very well muscle female. The other one had green scales and about five feet ten inches. They both had the same eye color, blue.
They both walked up to me and said "Are you Drake?"
I gave a weak nod and tried to smile but I had bruises and they were starting to hurt.
"Oh Drake, We are so sorry for leaving you at the orphanage."
I look up at them, "You're my parents?"
"Yes. Drake we are so sorry for leaving you. We just weren't ready for a child. We know we can never remove the scars your foster parents left you but we can watch after you now. All we want is for you to forgive us. Even if you don't forgive us, we just wanted to say that we are so sorry for leaving you."
" ... I lived fifteen years of my life wondering why I was always alone. I always thought I was never loved, not even by my parents. Now all I want is to be with someone I can truly can 'mom' or 'dad'. I just want to be hugged by someone who cares about me. But I never had that feeling. Now here you are, my real parents wanting to take me back and all I can say is... Thank you. And I forgive you."
I then stand up and hug my parents tightly, and they hugged me back and I started to cry on their chest because for once. I had someone who would be there for me, who will care for me. Someone who understands the things I do and will always love me no matter what I do.
The Next Day
I was sleeping in my bad at my parent's house while my parents inform the police about my foster parents abuse and attempts at murder. Once the police had the enough information that my foster parents were trying to kill my, they got ready to make the arrest.
When I woke up I saw my mom and dad talking to another dragon, as I got closer I notice that it was Brandon.
I walk up to him and ask, "Brandon? What are you doing here, I thought you were watching the shop since Carlos or I couldn't?"
"I was but I wanted to see how my older brother was doing?"
"Who is you older brother and where is he?"
Brandon, mom and dad started to laugh and I was wondering why. Then mom said, "You are his older brother Drake."
"What? You are my little brother? I always wonder why we were always acting alike. But if you knew I was you older brother, why didn't you tell me when I first saw you?"
"Cause I didn't know you were my brother at the time. I found out when mom and dad told me and there were coming to town. Now I can't stay long but I just wanted to see if you are okay. But I guess I don't have to ask, I see you'll feeling much better. I wish I could stay longer but I have to go."
"Okay, bye Brandon."
"Why don't you take him with you Brandon? It okay with us."
"Okay, come on Drake let go."
"K"
I walk over to where Brandon parked the car and got in. As he started to drive to work, I notice that we were passing my old house. As we pass, I saw my foster parent getting arrested and I started to smile. I was glad to see them get what they deserve. I knew that they would never bother me again.
Three years later
I'm sleeping in my bed and it was seven in the morning. I was Thursday, and school started in three hours.
Outside my door four shadow figures were planning what to do with me.
They quickly went inside quietly, and held a big object over my bed.
Then at once they yelled, "Happy Birthday Drake!"
I woke up from the yelling and jump to a sitting position only to be covered in cake.
"Wow. Thank you, I think."
We all started to laugh and I look at who did this. I saw mp parents, Brandon and Carlos.
I lived with my parents while I was in college and Carlos lived with us since he was going to the same college.
I was majoring in music composition while Carlos was majoring in English, so he could become a teacher in English. Brandon, my brother, was studying to become a doctor.
I looked back at my life and realize that anything can happen to make you fell better, no matter how bad your life is. Even if your life is as bad as mine, anything can happen to make you feel better, and suicide is never the answer.
*Well that the end of the series, I really do sure that you enjoyed the series. Well if this story doesn't stop at lease one person from committing suicide, then I failed my job. That about it, nothing true in this chapter. Please leave comments.*
