The first part to my new story series which contanes drama, romance, suspense and Comedy it covers David's journey to find that no matter what life throws at you, you must move on
As the alarm on my ipawd went off, I woke from my peaceful slumber into my not so peaceful life. Hey this is the story of my life my name is David. I stood and walked out the door of my bedroom and down the hall. I am a 5 ft. 10 wolf with solid back fur. I'm allergic to peanuts, afraid of thunder, and am a chocoholic. Now that you know a little bit about me let's start this story. As I walked down the hall way of my house I noticed for the first time in forever it was quiet. Too quiet. My parents have been having fights allot lately and have talked about divorce. The only reason they stay together is because me and my little brother Justin. As I looked up I realized that I had reached the bathroom. I shut the door and made sure it was locked because with one bathroom and a family of four there is not much privacy. I started the shower and dropped my boxers. When I went over to the closet to get a fresh towel I tripped and almost did a face plant. I growled to myself. Why does my brother have to leave his close everywhere? After my shower I walk down the hall on my way back to my room. Half way down I stopped and listened. I could hear heated whispers in my parents room as I snuck closer I caught little snippets of their conversation. "NO Tim I don't care how much you beg we need the money for David's collage fund he only has two more years till he needs to have the money". "lousy no good brat doesn't deserve it he skips school half the time now what makes you think he won't skip classes at whatever crappie collage excepts him". As I heard this I felt blind rage build up in me he's been unemployed for up to month. If he wants money he should get a job. All of a sudden the door flew open and he grabbed me by the scuff of the neck and dragged me in the room. AS I tightened my towel he yelled "SEE I CAUGHT THIS GOOD FOR NOTHING SON OF YOURS EASDROPPING!!" AT this point I had had enough I turned and was about to leave when I was hit over the head by something hard. As the ground approached I heard my mom yell"you son of a *****".
Next thing I know I was wakening up in my mom's arms everything was fuzzy. I groaned and tried to sit up but she pushed me back down. As my eyesight went back to normal I looked up and saw my mom. She is a silver 4 ft. 11 wolf with the most amazing blue eyes. Compared to my hazel witch I got from my jerk of a father. I tried to speak but my throat was dry all I managed to croak out was a dusty "water". My mom set me down and said she was going to get me water. I slowly started to regain my senses I felt a pounding in the back of my head. I groaned again and sat up the pounding in my head got worse immediately. I looked around the room and recognized it as my living room. I looked down and saw my mom had put a pair of shorts on me. I was embarrassed as heck but didn't have time to dwell. My mom came back in the room and helped me take a sip. After I had drunk half the glass I croaked "Where's d-d-dad". All she did was giving me a solemn look. Then there was a knock on the door. MY mom got up to get it. I stood up and got half way to the door I collapsed on the hallway wall and slid to the ground. My mom ran up the stairs with a husky male following behind her. She came up to me and put her hand on my cheek. The guy behind her asked her to step back. He came up and put his hand on the spot I got hit. Instantly I saw stars and felt immense pain. I whimpered and tried to push him away. "It's OK I'm an ambulance driver can you hear me" nodded my head witch made it hurt worse. "How many fingers am I holding up?" he said holding up two fingers. I tried to answer but couldn't talk again. I held out a hand with two fingers up. "m-m-my head her-hurt-hurts" was all I could say. He then told my mom to go get some ice. He told me to keep talking to him easier said than done. "What's your name"? "I-I-its David". My mom came running up the stairs and said in a somewhat out of breath voice "sorry I couldn't find one at first will this be OK?" she asked the husky. "Its fine" he said and took it he then looked me in the eye and said "this is goanna hurt". I didn't know what true pain was till that moment. I yelped and tried to push him away. After a few seconds the pain subsided enough to speak again. "What's your name if you don't mind me asking"? "It's Taylor" he said then turned to my mom "Keep putting ice on it I have to go if it still hurts in the moaning bring him to the doctor he might have a concussion". MY mom nodded and LED him to the front door then after he left came back up stairs and sat next to me. I looked down at my watch and saw it read 9:15 I could still make it to school. I tried to get up but my mom grabbed my wrist. "And where do you think you're going young man?" "To school I can still make second period" I said trying to shake her hand free. "Ooo no you're not" she said standing up and dragging me to my room. "You are going to rest and take it easy the rest of the day" she said. The second she let go I tried to dart around her but before I could a sharp pain shot into my head. I let out a yelp and put my hand to the back of my head. At some time in the confusion I had dropped the ice pack. BIG MISTAKE!!! My mom picked up the ice pack and set it on the newly formed bump. She LED me to my bed and helped me lie down. The moment my head hit the polio I let out a loud moan. "See this is why you can't go to school" she said. All of a sudden I heard my mom's police radio go off. She sighed then got up and walked out of the room. Now's my chance I thought as I made a brake for it but was stopped when she came back. "There's a robbery in progress will have someone from the station come and watch you". "I can watch myself thank you very much" I growled as she led me back to my bed. "Not according to the two escape attempts" she said taking a pair of handcuffs out of her pocket. My eyes grew wide and I tried to struggle. "Wait you can hand cuffs me to my bed". "Yes I can". "Isn't that illegal or something?" I asked praying that she wouldn't do this. "No not if it's in the name of keeping my little David safe". She finally got it around my wrist and the bed frame. "Now I will send someone over they should be here in five minutes and please stay out of trouble my little Davie" she said with concern in her voice. "Don't call me that I'm not in a good mood" I growled. She gave me a kiss on the forehead and left. I heard the door shut and her car pull out of the driveway before I went to work. She had made the mistake of putting the handcuff on my left wrist so since I'm wright handed it will be easier to pick the lock. I retracted my claws and got to work and within a minuet I was free.
I changed witch took a while because I kept bumping my head. I was just about to leave when I heard a car pull up in the driveway. I snuck over to my bedroom window and pulled back the curtains to see a female lion getting out of a squad car. Her name is Cleo she is my mom's best friend and she's helped me out a few times also. She looked up and I quickly shut the curtain if she saw me I would be toast. I waited till I heard the back door open. "David I'm here ill UN cuff you now" She said as I opened the window and hooked up my rope latter to the windowsill. "David answer me pleas". "NO THANKS" I shouted I was already half way down the latter. I heard fast footsteps in my room and tried to hurry but slipped falling the last floor and a half of our three floor house. I felt a snap as I hit the ground and pain shot up my leg and my head as it was jostled. Great I just added broken legs to a concussion how can this get worse I thought as I cradled my right leg. "Stay there I'm coming to get you" I heard from above. I looked up to see Cleo withdrew her head. I tried to stand but the pain in my foot and my head made me see stars so I sat there whimpering in pain. "Are you ok" Cleo asked as she ran out the front door. "Does it look like I'm ok" I growled as she helped me up and to her cop car she asked "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING" with a stern look in her eyes. "I was thinking I would be able to sneak to school "I said as she helped me in her car.
"Well now I got to take you to the hospital" she said as she started the car. "Buckle up" "no" "we aren't going anywhere till you buckle up" I rolled my eyes and grabbed the buckle slid it across my chest and clicked it in to place. "You happy now?" I asked getting a nod from her as we took off. "Why do you give your mom so many attitudes?" she asked glancing over at me. "Because she treats me like a kid" I said not looking away to the scenes flashing buy. "Maybe she does it because she loves you and doesn't want to see you hurt" she said in a voice that made me feel guilty. We had arrived at the hospital as she got me a wheelchair I checked my watch. 11:00 it is going to be a hard day.
