F i n d i n g C a r t e r : The Ballad Of Icarus

Part One: The Fall

F**k it, is what he would always say to me when we were in

shity situations or just on the verge of doing something that was so incredibly stupid.

F**k it those two very simple but yet memroble words;

he would always say to me when something My feable young mind

could not cope with. Even though he was 15 at the time but he knew so

much more than I ever could have learned. There was something about Ry that made

me feel so welcome and filled with joy; I know he'll be back and when he does come back

he knows I'll be waiting for him.

It was the few months of school ever for me, so that ment no more bullshit

from anybody else I was a straight up and down adult. It was also the day of

the field trip to some forest somewere I honestly could care less about, "Carter!" Bird called out to me. she wanted us and the "crew" to stick together, of course I said okay

but for some reason I didn't want to.

"Who the hell is that?" Bird said into my ear, "Who? Him?" I said, "Yeah the kid in the

Leather jacket." "How the hell should I know?" I said a bit annoyed, I mean how would I know who that is? I don't know everybody, I'm not santa claus or some s**t I don't just know everybody's names.

I walked up to the kid and asked "what's you're name?" he replied with these blunt words

"Ryan, but you can call me Ry" "How old are you, If you don't mind me asking?"

"15" he said.

"Then what is a freshman doing here?" as I continued to interigate him. "I actually skipped a couple grades so techniqlly I Am a senior much like yourself." There was something off about his eyes they weren't any color I've ever seen, When he would look up they would turn a very deep blue, and i'm not shitting you when he would look down they would turn blood red, it's almost as if they were holographic. "Wow you have beautiful eyes' I said without trying to sound flirty. "My eyes are only as beautiful as the sight they see."

he said so confidently; You could probably imagine how long this conversation was.

I blew off the group to spend the trip getting to know Ry and he was doing the same for me, kinda sweet if you ask me, and I should know a thing about sweet after all I did work at a yogurt shop for a year. "How is it you've never heard about me?" I said to him. "I apologize for my uncertainty about your identity but I don't really invole myself with the outside world." I could understand that, he was so nice and knowing, I wonder what he thought of me. when the trip was over he sat next to me on the bus an he invited me to his house for dinner, seemed like a nice way to spend my time.

When I arrived to his house I swear to God it looked like a castle; I passed the huge gates and knocked on the door. "TPOOD, TPOOD". Then he opened the door and enknowledged me and said "you look absolutly devine" "thanky you" I said to him trying not to blush,

The dinner was great but afterwards we got to talking and he was telling me about his parents and how his mother left when he was 6, His father commited suicide when Ry was 8.

when he told me theese things, I told him it's okay we all have demons.

He replied with "Demons don't have demons." looking worried I said "What do you mean?"

"My father would always tell me I was a demon, and that I had a purpose for bringing pain to those I come in contact with." "That's not true." I told him. "I have my own demons too" I said when he replied "Enough of this gray talking, wanna see something cool?"

I nodded my head and we we're off.
