my story
The day was February 19th the day had been long and hard and exhausting. I started to walk out the gym I go to the gym twice a day. As I walked out the gym I saw Ben my best friend coming out from the store next to the gym. "Hey doing your daily gym time?" he said to me as I walked to him "yea I need to stay fit if imma be a boxer 1 day" I replied. "Cmon follow me I wanna show you something you might like" he said as he walked away "OK" I said as i followed him/ Ben basically was my best friend ever since I got into high school he helped me big one time when I got into a fight with three guys cause they were talking about my mom. He was the only one to help me. Since then we've been best friends always watching each others backs. I followed him down the street then I turned the corner and four blocks down "where are we going?" I asked after walking four blocks "were here" he said with a smile. He stopped and looked in front of the building I stopped and looked at it too. It was a building with a boxing ring and a coach waiting in it "no way!" I said with excitement "yea way" Ben said with a smile. My heart was racing day dream after day dream after day dream came into my head. We entered the ring together and was greeted by a man wearing a grey sweater aka the coach. "you must be the new guys" he said as he shaked our hands . He was young probably Bens age and his hand shake was strong and firm sorta like a presidents. "Well now that you guys are here get suited up" he said to us as he handed us our boxer shorts and gloves. He also gave us mouth guards. We got suited up. I feelt so energetic I finally looked like a boxer. We entered the ring and started on the basics. The way the coach taught us was very unusual. He would show us the basics by hitting us with them. Then he told us to do the basics on each other. He said it was to teach us to endure pain and believe it or not it actually worked we actually got used to the pain. Unfortunately the day ended we left the building and said our goodbyes to the coach. "Well I have to go home or else my cousins will kill each other" Ben said soon after the coach left. "hahaha OK cya later man" I replied as he started to walk away. "You be careful OK" he said waving goodbye "OK" I said walking away. Now I know what YOUR thinking normally that's what a dad says or mom. Unfortunately for me I had no mom and my dad was well......a bum to put it basically. My mom died after i was born and after that day my dad decided not to do work anymore. All he ever does is look at pictures of my mom and sit and watch tv. I can understand hes lost some one dear to him but thats no reason to take it out on me!!!. Also he drinks A LOT he thinks he can hide it from me but i see when he sneaks out the house and the way he beated me when i was a little kid. So yea i would feel bad for my dad if he wasn't so MEAN and he actually did work for once!!!. But thats enough about my dad its time for me to get back to my story. I started heading home as i walked all i could think about was boxing day dreams like me wining the championship or something like that. I keep my head high in the air.....which probably wasn't the best idea cause then i bumped into some one by accident. As i got back up i reached out my hand to help her up "sorry about that" the stranger took my hand and got up. "Its ok" i could then tell it was a girl by the sound of her voice. She looked at me and smiled and oh my god was she beautiful!!!!. She had long black her and the way she stared at me with them beautiful blue eyes gave me a sudden warm feeling in my heart. For a moment i was speechless staring at her beauty but a few seconds later i was able to talk again "again im really sorry i should've watched where i was going" i said still staring at her as if she was a goddess. "Its alright im bumping into people all the time anyway" she said giggling a bit. "soooo whats your name?" she said me with that angel voice of hers and first i was stammering a bit cause well with a girl that beautiful of course your gonna be nervous and don't you read this and say "well i wouldn't be nervous" cause i know for a fact that if you saw her no matter how tough or bad you would've stammered to!!. "um...well my names Carlos luis" i said blushing a little. "cool my names maria nice to meet you Carlos" all i could think at this moment was THANK YOU GOD!!!. Then we started walking with each other we didn't know where but i think at that moment we didn't really care. We walked all around the city talking,laughing and smiling at each other a lot. She seemed like the greatest person i ever met we both had a lot in common to. We both liked rock music we both like nice funny people, we also perfered nature to city and most important we both agreed that if we liked some one we wouldn't care about what they looked like or mistakes they may have made in the past we agreed we would like then for who they are and for what their doing now it was kinda funny talking about liking people cause i think we were starting to like our self's. "We'll i have to go or else my brother and mom will get mad" she said sounding a little sad. "Thats alright" i said smiling at her trying to make her a little happier. "can you walk me home?" she said blushing a little bit "sure" i said smiling even more. I then started walking her home when we finally got to her apartment door she stopped me. "Something wrong?" i asked her confused "no its not that" she said for some reason looking and blushing a lot. "Then whats wron-" suddenly before i could finished she kissed me. For a while i was extremely surprised but a few seconds later while she was still kissing me i thought in my head "WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE KISS HER!!!!" then i started to kiss back. About two minutes later she stopped. She started to blush a lot i could see that was either her first kiss or one of them. I hugged her and i felt her hug back then she looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back "well bye i can't wait to see you tomorrow" she said walking into the building still looking at me smiling "same" i said smiling back starting on my way home. As I walked back home all I could think about was maria her long black hair her soft lips and beautiful eyes. I walked into the building and went in the door. My father like always was siting in the chair watching tv doing nothing. "Where you been" he asked me still looking at the TV . "I was just with ben alright" i said not looking at him "what are you in love with that guy? hang with some one new!" he said harshly i could tell he was a little drunk. "Leave me alone" i said walking into my room. I put all my stuff away and layed down on my bed still thinking about maria. Befor i knew it i was fast asleep dreaming about her. The only thing that woke me up was my hungry. I got out the room and made myself something to eat having no mother to cook for you and a father who does nothing all day really teaches you how to cook. As i made myself something to eat i could hear my father snoring and his stomach growling. And well im not totally bad or evil so i made him something to eat and left it next to him. I ate my food then fell asleep again. The alram woke me up next morning after i woke up ate breakfast and got dressed i headed out and started on my way to the gym. I meet ben there waiting for me. "What took you so long?" he asked me as i approached him "sorry man i was busy yesturday and i got home late" "what you mean by busy" he asked me laughing a bit. I decided since ben was my best friend ever i could tell him anything so i told him everything that happened. I told him about how i met maria and how i couldn't stop thinking bout her. "Wow man when did you become a ladys man? hahaha" "haha shut up man" i said punching him in the arm. "Are you to ladys done so we can start?" the coach said coming up to us "yea we ready" we both said as we got ready and started pratcing. Then when we were taking a break i looked at the entrance and i couldn't believe who i saw it was my worst enemy ever jorge. You rember whow i told you how i got into a fight cause some one was talkin bout my mom well now you know who was talkin bout my mom and if you don't know it was jorge. Back in school jorge was the bully he picked on everyone even the cool kids and no one ever did anything for years i hoped some one would stop him but no one ever did. "Whats he doing here?" i asked ben a little angry "don't know and im not sure if i care just try to not let him get to you ok man" he said to me pating my back "i'll try" i said calming down. But things just got worse as he came straight up to me. "Well well well look who it is if it isn't little puny carlos" he said to me i didn't say anything back. "Whats the matter puny carlos cat got your tounge or somthin?" "just leave me alone alright" I said walking away. "I bet thats the same thing your mom would say" he shouted at me i turned around immedetly. "DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY MOM!!!" I yelled at him "OH YEA WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT" I went closer to him geting ready to just punch him but just then ben steped in and broke us up. "Hey this is a gym not a fighting arena alright" he said to both of us "whatever your wasting my time anyway" jorge said walking to his little corner with his punching bag. I walked into the ring angry and ready to fight "calm down man its over" ben said pating my back. After pratice i started on my way home hood on looking at the ground. I looked up and i saw maria in the corner looking like she was looking for me. We started walking to my house together and she made my day all better making me happy and forgeting all about jorge. When we got to the front of the builing we started saying our goodbye. "awwww why does the day have to end" she said huging me tight " i know right it sucks" i said huging her back. Just then jorge who was walking all around the place saw us just when we started kissing. "MARIA!!!" he yelled she looked at him then backed away from me a little bit then he looked at me angry. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING KISSING MY SISTER?!!?" he screamed at me then thats when i got angry "OK ONE I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS YOUR SISTER AND TWO SHUT UP!!" then he grabed marias hand started taking her away but it wasn't like i was just gonna let him take her away from me so i took her other hand. "stop please!" maria said then we both let go. She came up to me and gave me a kiss "i'll say tommorrow ok" she whispered in my ear" "ok" i whisper back "love you" "love you too" then her and jorge started walking away. As i went up the stairs and into the room all I think was how came some one as great as maria be related to a guy like jorge. When i entered the room i slamed the door. "Whats got you so mad?" my father asked me "not now alright" i said heading straight for my room. After that everything just went normal of course i made the dinner then i decided to walk around with ben. I put on my jacket and pants then headed outside. I met ben at the park across from my building we started walking and talking when suddenly jorge came up. "What do you want" i said to him geting a little angry. Suddenly he pulled out a pistol i could see this was gonna end in some one geting hurt. "Now look you my sister means everything to me and im not gonna let you hurt her like all her boyfriends have!!" he said pointing the pistol at us. "Look jorge i know we'v had our diffrence in the past but i swear i would never do anything to try and hurt your sister" i said trying to step foward a bit "SHUT UP YOU LIER!!" he said shaking the gun at me then i back up back to where i was. "All of my sisters boyfriends didn't like my sister for who she want but what she looked like!!" he said geting more and more angry suddenly a crowd was starting as people wondered what was going on. "Look jorge i promise you i would never try to hurt her! i love her!" i tryed to convince him but jorge refused to listen. Seeing this was going no where ben tryed to take the gun from jorge he tackled him as he was falling to the ground jorge shot the gun and hit ben in the leg. "BEN!!" i yelled then jorge got back up but forgot to pick up the gun after looking at my best friend on the floor bleeding i punched jorge in the face without thinking. Then he did a left hook on my rib then i hit him in the face with an uppercut after that he punched me staight in my face then i slamed him to the ground. Then we both started hiting each other in the chest and ribs. Then i decided to get back on my feet after i did jorge got straight up and grabed my head. I hit him in the ribs while he hit my back then i broke out of his head lock and hit him two times in the face then he gave me a hard uppercut to the face. We backed away from each for a sec then at the same time we punched each in the face. After that my head was spining and we were both still standing i got on my knees and he came up to me with the gun to my face. But just when it seemed he was gonna shot he fell to the ground bleeding. I turned my head all i saw was people gasping then i saw maria checking on ben and jorge then me. "Are you ok?" she asked all of us only ben was able to answer her then she took out her phone and called 911. Then everything went black and i feelt my body hit the hard ground. I don't know how long it took my to wake up but eventually i did i opened my eyes and i saw jorge in a bed to my left and maria and ben siting next to me. "Hey" they both said to me "you took quite a beating you know that?" "yea i know". then ben went to go get the cast for his leg and maria went to the bathroom. "Im sorry" i looked to my left to see jorge say that "im sorry bout everything i just didn't want my sis to get hurt again you know?" he said looking back at me "yea i know don't worry i'll take good care of her" "i know u will your diffrent than her past boyfriends" "thanks" "so we cool?" he said reaching out his hand "yea we cool" i said shaking it". Just then a my coach and the person who i never would've expected to visit me my dad came. "Hey kid" my coach said to me "hey" "i saw the whole fight you got skills kid maybe one day you will be a champion" "thanks coach" then the coach said goodbye and left. Then my dad sat next to me "son i need to talk to you" he said to me looking straight at my face. Then he told me how he was gonna be a better dad and how he was so sorry for everything that he did and how everyday he wished he could take it all back he said all this while crying. Then i huged him crying a little bit myself he huged back "you mother would've been proud of you son im sure of it" he said holding my head. Well thats my story after that day everything got a whole lot better me and jorge became new best friend my dad stoped drinking and started helping me with the house and starting caring about me true after that shot in his leg ben got paralyzed but he's still the best friend i ever had.
