Blurb from What’s It Like

Axel Fletcher was a nine year old boy. He had brown eyes that were full of life and messy brown hair to match. He lived with his Mother and Father and his two siblings, both were girls.

Axel went to school like any other child would do, he did his homework, he got good grades and he even helped the Kindergartners with their lunches. But like any other child, Axel also got bullied.

It was always during break, Axel had just finished helping the Kindergarten class and he would make his way outside to the playground. Axel’s favorite spot on the playground, was under the slide. Not many kids went there because they were too busy playing on the swings or on the slide itself. All break, this was where Axel would sit, happily coloring in his drawing book, oblivious of the other children.

This obliviousness left Axel when two eighth grade boys came up to him. These two boys were known throughout the entire playground as the bullies and if you see them, you’d best avoid them. But unfortunately for Axel, today, he didn’t see them coming.

Axel was using an orange coloring pen, to color in the bill of the duck on the page, when suddenly the pen was ripped from his hands and a muddy, scuffed boots stepped right on his picture.

“Hey!” Axel exclaimed.

It was in the moment that Axel chose to look up at whoever had ruined his picture, expecting and hoping for it to be a kindergartener, playing around with him like they had done moments before, but not today.

“Watch it Shrimp!” The first boy told Axel as he snapped the coloring pen in his beefy hands.

Axel looked at the two boys, hoping that maybe he could just disappear and they would never see him again.

“Hey! We were talking to you Shrimp!” The second boy exclaimed.

Axel looked around the playground for a teacher, even another student that may help him, but the playground had been deserted. There wasn’t a teacher or student in sight. Now Axel really wish he was invisible.

The one boy watched ass Axel’s glance fleeted to his picture, so the older boy picked up the drawing and laugh a loud, fake laugh.

“What’s this supposed to be? Roadkill?”

Tears jumped to Axel’s eyes and he quickly looked away, hoping that the bullies wouldn’t see him crying and pick on him even more.

But luck, just didn’t like Axel today.

The first boy pulled Axel up by the collar of his shirt and then shoved Axel down to the hard gravel ground again. Axel could feel tiny pebbles sticking into the palms of his hands and his back and bum hurt from the harsh impact, but Axel didn’t cry, not again, he didn’t want to be weak in front of the older boys.

Once again, Axel was picked up by his collar and the second boy hung him on the edge on the railing for the slide, high enough to make sure that Axel’s feet didn’t touch the ground.

Axel thrashed and kicked, hoping that if he moved enough he would get unhooked, but looking down at the ground, it seemed much farther away than it had before and suddenly Axel didn’t want to fall, nor did he want to stay hooked on that railing. The two boys stepped back and started laughing cruelly, really, Axel didn’t see what was so funny. Why would you laugh at someone who’s stuck and can’t get down? But it was the mind of a big boy, as much as Axel tried, he didn’t understand how an eighth grader thought and didn’t think he ever would.

Now Axel was just hanging limply in the air, trying to hold his head up although it felt like his head weighed a million pounds. His legs were beginning to go numb and Axel already couldn’t feel his fingers. His back was getting cold from the light wind, the back of his shirt was stretching awkwardly and to make matters worse, the bell rang.

The bell rang, this meant that the other children would be coming out from wherever they had been playing and would see Axel hanging there. They were bound to laugh at him. He was going to get teased, laughed at and people would never let Axel live this day down.

But one good thing would come out of this, maybe a teacher would see.

‘Maybe they’ll get expelled’ Axel thought bitterly ‘maybe they’ll have to do community service.’

As children filled the school yard once more, Axel became aware of how many students there really were, there were hundreds. And they were all standing there, laughing at him.

Well most of them were, the only ones that weren’t were the ones that thought practical jokes were silly and a waste of time, but these children wouldn’t voice their thoughts, nor would they help poor Axel down from his perch, so really, Axel would remain there.

It was when a teacher came five minutes later that Axel finally got down. For the rest of the day, Axel kept his head down, hoping that his classmates wouldn’t tease him too harshly. The end of the day couldn’t have come quicker in Axel’s mind. As soon as the bell rang, Axel was out of his seat, grabbing his backpack and putting his coat on, soon Axel was running out the front doors of the school, ignoring the other people that were snickering and pointing.

The bus ride home wasn’t eventful. Axel sat in the seat closest to the driver hoping that no one would throw paper wads at him if he did this. But instead, kids just spat spit balls at the back of his neck and called out mean things. No matter how hard, Axel couldn’t shut it all out.

So when the bus reached his stop, Axel jumped up and ran out towards his home.

Axel opened his front door, took off his coat and shoes, dumped his backpack on the ground and ran up to his bedroom. He knew that his parents weren’t home yet, his mother was visiting his aunt in Florida whilst his father was at work. The babysitter was going to be there soon so Axel only had a few moments to himself.

In those moments, Axel decided that he was going to go hide himself in the attic and not come out for the rest of the day. In his mind, it made sense, he didn’t want to be bothered and no one went into the attic anyway, so Axel grabbed his favorite comic books, a few packages of crackers from the kitchen and pulled the ladder down. The attic was dusty, as attics are, in one corner there were boxes of old Christmas decorations that would not be taken out for another few months, in another corner there was a box that was labeled “Axel’s Baby stuff” and there was a clutter of other random boxes around the attic.

Axel found a folder out chair in one of the many boxes and unfolded it next to the grimy window. Looking out of the dirty glass pane, Axel could see the other houses on the street, cars driving, most likely filled with children from school, there were dogs running on the street, cats sitting on fences and leaves blowing from the trees. It was truly beautiful. Now that Axel cared. The beauty of the outside world never really struck Axel and he never understood why his mother was always talking about how amazing nature was.

Huffing, Axel sat back in the chair and watched as the sun slowly went down behind the clouds and down onto the horizon. He could hear his babysitter downstairs, calling for him, telling him that it was dinner, but Axel wasn’t hungry and he was pretty sure that if he tried to eat, it wouldn’t end well.

So Axel stayed in the chair, in the attic, looking out the window, watching as the sky faded into oranges and pinks and yellows, then as sit faded into a dark blue and black. The stars had come out by the time that Axel heard this front door opening, alerting him that his mother and father had returned home and his babysitter was leaving.

Something glittered in the sky and Axel looked up. It was a star, just like the other stars, but this one was special somehow. It was brighter, bigger and Axel could’ve looked at it all night long.

“If you wish on a star, maybe it will come true”

Axel remembered the words his mother had told him when he was young, of course Axel didn’t believe any of that nonsense at the time nor did he now, but it was worth a try.

So Axel closed his eyes, took a deep breath and thought to the star.

“I wish I was invisible. I wish that I was invisible and no one would ever know where I was. I wish that I was invisible so that I will never get teased again”

With that last thought, Axel opened his eyes and looked at his hands. When he realized that they were still there, he sighed.

Axel folded that chair up once more and put it back in its box, making sure that he put the box exactly where he found it, because he didn’t want his mother to be cross with him and then Axel went down the ladder.

“Axel! You didn’t eat your dinner” Axel’s Mother stated as he walked into the sitting room. She’d returned earlier that day.

“I’m not hungry” Axel said quietly.

“The Sitter said that you’ve been up in the attic since you got home from school. Did you need something?” Axel’s father asked.

Axel simply shook his head “I thought I would find my Soldier toy up there, but I couldn’t find him” Axel lied.

“Well I’m sure he’ll turn up. Now, go eat your dinner, I’ve just warmed it up and then go straight to bed” His mother ordered.

So Axel went and sat at the table and slowly ate his cold dinner. The chicken didn’t taste good, the potatoes were dry and his broccoli were mushy, all in all, Axel was excited to go to bed. Once he had finished his dinner, Axel put his plate in the sink, kissed his mother and father good night, then went up to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

As he did this, Axel wondered why his wish hadn’t worked.

‘Did I do it wrong? Was I missing something? Maybe the star needed some food and maybe it would have answered my wish if I had given it some chicken. Do stars eat chicken? Do stars eat at all?’

All these thoughts went through Axel’s mind as he finished brushing his teeth and he climbed into his warm bed.

Grabbing his stuffed bear, Axel closed his eyes and the last thing he saw was the star, before he fell asleep.

The next Morning Axel woke up dreading school. He didn’t want to go and he buried himself deeper into his covers, hoping that the world would disappear and school would cease to exist. But reality came to him when his babysitter called up the stairs to him, saying that it was time to go to school.

So Axel begrudgingly got out of his bed and trudged over to his cupboard, where he quickly got dressed, put on his shoes on, brushed out his hair and grabbed his backpack and ran down the stairs, where his sitter was holding his lunch.

“Turkey and Cheese, with no mayo and extra ketchup” His sitter recited.

Axel smiled a fake smile and took the paper bag out of the baby sitter’s hands.

“Thank you” He said before rushing out the door.

But as soon as he did, Axel felt a sudden wave of dizziness surround him, stumbling for a moment, Axel blinked the spots dancing in front of his eyes away and he continued to walk to the bus stop. He was hesitant when he saw that there were other kids standing there, he didn’t want to be made fun of because of what had happened yesterday, but when he arrived at the bus stop, no one greeted him, no one said hi, or asked him how he was, no one teased him, no one even looked at him. This relieved Axel, he waited at the bus stop in peace, and no one spoke to him, which was alright with Axel because he didn’t really know any of them.

When the bus arrived, Axel was the first to get on, he sat in the front row where no one else joined him.

In wasn’t a very long drive to school, around five minutes if the stops to pick up the other children weren’t long. During this short time, Axel looked out the window and waited to get to school, still dreading what might await him.

But finally the bus stopped at Axel’s school and all the children got off the bus, Axel going last, hoping to get lost in the crowd, but nobody noticed him.

Everything went normally, Axel went to his locker cubby, placed his coat and backpack in it, and then walked to class, where Axel sat at his desk, waiting for all the other children to join him.

Soon enough, the classroom slowly filled with other children and Axel’s teacher began roll call.

Considering the first letter in Axel’s name was A, his name was quite near the beginning of the list.

“Axel” His teacher called out

“Here!” Axel replied like always. But his teacher didn’t hear him.

“Axel?”

“Here!”

But once again, poor Axel wasn’t heard.

“He wasn’t on the bus today. Maybe he’s sick?” One of the other children suggested

“But I’m right here!” Axel protested, getting up out of his seat.

Axel walked over to his teacher and waved his hand in front of their face, but it was like Axel was invisible.

Then the thought hit Axel. He had wished on the start that he could be invisible, he woke up this morning and he wasn’t.

‘But then I got very dizzy when I walked out the front door’ Axel reminded himself ‘Maybe I’m only invisible when I’m not in my home’

This made Axel very happy. He could do whatever he wanted to and not have to worry about anybody seeing him.

Grinning to himself, Axel made his way silently (Although no one could hear him) out of the classroom and down the hall to find the grade eight class.

Inside this classroom, was a grade eight class learning about biology, and the two bullies from the day before were there as well.

Axel slowly walked into the classroom and sat in the teacher’s chair, watching ass the teacher explained bird physiology. Axel played with the things lying on the teacher’s desk, things like tack and erasers and confiscated phones. The class seemed to drag on forever in Axel’s mind and he was sure that some of the other students felt the same way. Some of them were staring blankly at the chalk board, other were napping with their heads tucked onto their desks, while there were very few writing down every word the Teacher was saying, whether it be important or not.

From what Axel gathered, the teacher was both telling a story about a bird and telling a story about his childhood, both were equally boring. Axel looked around the classroom for anything he could mess with and his eyes came into contact with the other chalk board. The one the teacher wasn’t writing on. One this chalk board was the date, the eighth grade lessons for that day, reminders about a math test on Wednesday and an old game of tic-tac-toe. Grinning, Axel made his way over to this board and picked up the chalk board eraser. Axel raised the Eraser and began to wipe away the words and numbers written there. Slightly paranoid, Axel kept looking over his shoulder to see if any of the students had seen him, but no one had, in fact Axel had remained invisible to the entire class.

Soon, Axel had wiped the entire chalkboard clean of the writing and he picked up a piece of blue chalk, grinning a Cheshire Cat grin. Axel put the chalk to the board and began drawing a giant wobbly picture. As he drew, the picture turned out to be a picture of a volcano, a blue volcano with pink lava flooding from the top. Personally, if you were to ask Axel, he’d say it was the best Volcano he had ever drawn. As Axel moved on to draw a spaceship hovering in the sky by the volcano, he realized that he was too short to reach the place he needed to. So Axel walked over to a stack of spare chairs in the corner and picked one up. Looking around Axel realized that surely someone would notice a floating chair being walked across the classroom.

Ignoring those thoughts Axel began to carry the chair to his old spot in front of the chalk board. To his shock, no one saw him.

Shrugging, Axel began to draw the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.

AS he drew, Axel heard a grunt as one of the students woke up, yet he ignored this noise and continued to draw. Suddenly, the classroom erupted into whispers and chatter and the teacher stopped his droning.

“What is the matter?” He asked

One of the eighth grade students pointed to the chalk board and the teacher looked over and let out a shriek.

The author is sure that you would too if you saw a floating piece of chalk drawing a picture of a spaceship.

“What is this!?” The teacher demanded.

“The classroom is haunted!” One girl cried out

Grinning again, Axel put the chalk down, causing several children to squeal and look around to look for him. Axel went over to one of his bullies from yesterday and began playing with his hair.

“What’s happening!?” His friend exclaimed as Axel put a pencil in the boy’s ear.

As the cherry on the cake, Axel went over to the chalk board with the teachers writing and wrote, in giant letters. BOO!

Everyone in the classroom began to scream and they jumped from their seats out of the classroom, the teacher close behind them.

Axel was doubled over in fits of laughter as he listened to the class freak out in the hallways.

‘That was fun’ Axel thought to himself ‘What should I do now?’

As a response to that, Axel’s stomach rumbled and Axel happily skipped to the classroom, giggling as he passed the grade eight class. In the cafeteria, the lunch lady was scooping things into bowls, getting ready for lunch which happened to be very soon. Axel walked over and grabbed a piece of a turkey sandwich, which had been put on a plate not moments before. When the lunch Lady turned around and saw a sandwich missing she looked around and picked up a cleaver.

“Come here ya vermin, try it!” She then began to run around the cafeteria, trying to find the “Mice” that had stolen the sandwich.

The day went by too quickly for Axel’s liking. During the next few hours, he had thrown cheese strings at the Secretary, Poured water on the head of his French teacher, whom he thoroughly disliked, given flowers to the girl that he had a tiny crush on and sat in the principal’s office, while spinning on the Principal’s chair.

The bus ride home was pretty boring compared to the rest of the day, he stood at the very front, not sat, stood and waited to get off. When he got off the bus, he ran home and stopped at his porch.

‘If I go into my house, will I reappear?’ He asked himself. ‘Well I’ll have to go in sometime’

So Axel took a step forwards and walked into his house.

“Hey Axel” His babysitter said “How was school?” She looked over at his, smiling lightly.

Axel grinned and set his bag down “Oh you know, pretty boring”

FIRST HE GOES INTO THEIR ROOM VIA THE MAIN HALL AND QUICKLY WAKES LYNN BY SHAKEING HER SHOULDER.

LYNN(9) WAKES SILENTLY DUE TO MARCYS TRAINING and quietley asks “whats up”

“were going for a visit will you grab our bags while I grab ma’i’ia’s and baba’s?”

she nods and hops up heading for the bathroom through the connected door where she grabs the bags from their locker while he goes through the hall and into their parents room to grab theirs.

She drops the bags in their room and goes over to their parents where she find robin packing their mi’i’ias phone/jewelry box{she never leaves the house without it} computor/keys into her go bag. She grabs her babas bag and begins packing the contents of the rooms safe into it(not knowing hes not coming with)(both bags on the bed){not really noticing what shes packing} as well as her granpa nash’s medal box.

The two close the bags and take them over to their room.

There lynn begins to pack their important items into their bag{not knowing how long theyll be gone but knowing that leaving in the middle of the night isnt a good thing}[their jewelryboxes their baby blankets stuffed animals and a few of their favorite books and their journals]

while shes doing this robin had fastened their parents bags together then his job done he notices that he cant hear his ma’i’ia humming any more.

Excited to catch his ma’i’ia doing her :magic: he sneaks out of his and lynns room and into the main hall where he ducks behind the shelves in the hall and peaks through it.

But instead of seeing his ma’i’ia doing magic he sees her fighting a man dressed in all black with yellow eyes.

Robin is scared and quietly rushes back to his room where lynn is fastening all four bags together.

Robin waves to get her attentionand uses one of the signs mi’i’ia had taught them {translation:GET OUT NOW FAST AND QUIET}

her drowziness instantly forgotton at the look in her brothers eyes lynn grabbs the teid together bags and robins hand and all but drags him to the window.

She climb out and while robin follows she pulls the bags onto her shoulder before the two quickly scamper up the ladder in a nervous silence and clamber into the storage unit{bobbys spot to medicate} where they raceout of the room and into the hallway out side.

Lynn runs ahead to pull the alarm knowing that robin will follow her.

On his way out robin knocks the space heater and bobbys vodka over in his rush but is moveing to quickly to notice as he flees into the hall the alam covering the sound.

The two grab hands again, hide in the crowd and race down the stairs two at a time.

At the bottom of the stairs the two split from the crowd, run through the lobby and exit out the side door and quickly duck into the locker.

Inside the locker lynn turns on the security screens on just in time to see the man drop their ma’i’ia’s body to the floor of their kitchen

the two are to shocked to do anything but watch as the man goes through the apartment trashing first their parents and then their own rooms.

Just as the man finnishes with their room they watch as the ceiling comes down in flame.

The fire spreads quickly and the man flees the apartment and leaves the sight of the cameras.

In stunned silence they wathc as first their apartment and then their floor are consumed by flame the cameras going down one by one as they melt.

Then they are further shocked when they see their baba race into the building just before the lobby camera goes down damaged by falling debrie.

Lynn begins to cry as she realizes that both of her parents are dead while robin turns to packing the locker up trying to not think about whats happened.

First he packs all of the storage lockers contents into their babas half empty bag:

--toma artifacts

--:///: and nash family heirlooms

--paperwork

--pictures

--:bucksgmas: books

--marcys religious wear and jewelry

--toma tech unrelated to the security system

then he pack the security cameras hardrives into an empty bag already in the locker and puts all three of the flashdrives onto his and lynns birthstone necklaces.

Then robin takes lynn by the hand{lynn holding three of the bags atatched to each other and robin the other two tied together} and drags her out of the locker and into the alley between the bakery and daycare across the street from the apartment building so that they can see whats happening with the cameras down.

Lynn goes along with it but has no hope of seeing their baba walk out of the building as the two watch the crowds through tears.

Robin is the first to see the man in black as he stumbles out of the building and begins going up to people waving a picture frame around.

Robin recognises the frame of a picture of lynn and their mi’i’ia, and he is struckwith terror as he realizes that the man is after lynn and rufusing to loose anyone else robin grabs lynn by the hand and takes off running forceing her to catch up{lynn still has three bags and robin two}

the two run for ten minutes straight until they reach a late night buss stop

its now 10:42 7/15/1999

at the stop lynn now calmish in the face of the new mission(survive run keep robin safe)uses money from the sathel neklace mi’i’ia required both to waer and keep full of the three hundred dollors she put in them to get them both tickets to ;;;;;; newyork{lynn at eleven passes for 17ish easily due to her hight of 5’9’ and reserved demeaner and robin at eight passes for 14ish due to his 4’4’ height and attitude}

from 12:22pm 7/15/1999 to 12:30pm 8/04/1999 the two make their way to new york via buses telling any who ask their going to their parents for a custody switch

on 8/04/1999 at 12:41pm the two dissembark in oooooo,newyork and wind up in a little field surrounded by trees in a park next to the bus stop.

Lynn takes their remaining mony and after empting their babas bag goes to buy the two food bag in hand, whilrobin repacks the bags.

He empties the other four bags onto the pile left by lynn.

Then he repacks it all :

---his bag gets:all of lynns and his clothes, blankets, stuffed animals and on of the sets of fake birth certificate

---lynns bag:his and lynns other important items thei ma‘i’ia’s religious and daily head scarves, their ma’i’ia’s leather jacket and their babas work turnout coat and the other five fake sets of cirth certificates and their real set

---marcys bag:his parents jewelry documents toma artifacts :///: and nash familey heirlooms paperwork :bucksgmas: books ma’i’ia’s {jewelry box computor phone and keys} safe contents pictures and tech.

---locker bag:the hardrives and their grandfathers medal box

this leaves their parents day clothes unpacked

lynn returns with theirs babas bag full of long term food and a few bags of fast food in hand at 7:00 am (she spent her time shopping at a 24/7 store getting as much as she could for the least amount of money then she picked up food from mcdonalds.)

the two eat quickly then lynn empties the locker bag and fills it with their parents day clothes and takes them and sells them while robin reorganizes the food in their babas bag.(7:30 am)

she returns at around 10:30 am with an empty bag and 89 dollors and repacks the hardrives and the medal box into their babas empty bag.

The two then take turns sleeping in shifts until 12:00 pm at which point they begin making their way deeper into the city.

The two liv on the streets completely on their own surviving off pick pocketing and using the facilities of a fire station that they find unlocked when the trucks are on call until 8/19/1999 when lynn runs into owen strickland who came in on his day off with his son tyler kennedy strickland{7}.

Owen simply makes another plate and leaves it for her as well as a tupperware container full of food for her {not wanting to scare her off and wanting her to keep coming back thinking shes a homeless 17ish year old and wanting her to have somewhere safe to crash and food to eat[he knew someone had been using the stove and stocked food while the crews slept and now he knows who]}

lynn and owen proceed to repeat this every day that owen is on shift and after a few weeks the two start talking to each other.{8/19/1999 to 1/02/2000}[lynn 11 to 12 robin 9 to 10]

When owen realizes shes younger then she looks he offers to get in contact with her parents but she tells him that their dead and that she has no other family(he notes that she stuters over saying the later bit and assumes she has a younger sibling somewhere hidden and dosent trust him with them yet which also explains why their on the streets {cps might seperate them} so he starts cooking double the food and sending her off with lots of packed food.

Then he talks to his wife and asks if they can take them in{their already certified as foster parents due to the process they used to adopt her sisters son tyler} and she agrees.

The next day she and owen go in on his day off after the crews head out and the two discuss it with lynn.

Lynn clearly wants to but is hesitating until :oswife: hands her a contract that states that the stricklands will do everything in their power to keep her and her sibling(s) together all it needs is her and their names filled in and signitures in front of witnesses{someone from one of the other crews}.

Lynn agrees and runs off.

She comes back less then five minutes later with two birth certificates {listing lynn as lynda nomi price and her little brother robin alexi price 12 and 10} and a boy{robin} and five duffel bags.

While lynn trusts them robin is more suspicious and shy.

:oswife: takes the certificates and the now signed contract and goes to her office to line things up while owen takes the kids home.

:oswife: uses her job and pull to rush the kids placement with her{the judge agrees as she and owen had earned the childrens trust and he saw no reason to further distress the children{they lost their parents and have found a new set that they trust and can depend on in his mind} irregardles of what yyyyyyy the cps agents assigned wants. 1/02/2000

{{{Yyyyyyy hates :oswife: yyyyyyyy is an expat hunter who still cant stand tomas

she tried to keep them from getting tyler and had custody of the boy for a week herself and was sickenly cruel to the then six year old

tyler never said anything scared of loosing owen :oswife: and his cousins{owens sisters two daughters}

yyyyyyyyyy is sleeping with even eugine buckly

eugine is married to fffffff

fffffff is sleeping with xxxxxxx

xxxxxx is the fther to both fffffffff’s daughters :maddalind elianna buckley{13} and shannon breeanna xxxxxx{ }

fffffff give xxxxxx shanon to keep him satisfied as her side piece {hes a dick to her but never violent}

eugine thinks hes maddies father but that shannon was the resault of an assult and that xxxxxx his brother volunteered to take the girl as a favor to them.

Eugine raises maddie to hate shannon without being overt.}}}

mean while owen takes the children home{strickland family home 14 generations} an begins moving them into tylers{9} room .

The room has a bunkbed and a foldout bed for when owens sisters kids spend the night.

He sets robin up on the bottom buck and gives lynn the pullout{knowing that the girl will feel guilty putting robin on the couch and ty already has the top bunk} he notices that the adults arnt let near the kids bags but they dont push.

tyler gets home and is a bit miffed at sudden new siblings but when he wakes from a nightmare that night things change.

Tyler wakes crying as robin shakes him out of a nightmare of his of owen dieing in a fire and robin pulls him into a tight hug until he calms and falls asleep on his shoulder.

Robin stays up the whole night petting tys hair and keeping the nightmares away.

The next day :oswife: takes the two shopping to get batheing suits so that they can join tyler in his swimming clases. While owen redos the room.

He takes out the pullout and puts in a second bunk bed that lynn will later take the top bunk of on a day to day basis {when owens neices are over lynn moves into robins, robin will sleep with tommy and leave the other bunk for them two girls.

While the two were trying on suits that day :oswife: notices marks on their shoulders {;;;;; tattoos disguised as henna that denotes their toma heritage and their ://: heir status due to her own toma heritage.}

owen adds lockers for all three kids and his neices on lynns sugestion

robin and ty are estatic and robin begins to feel at home fully.

Over the next few months the kids all grow closeer

while lynn adores ty ty clings to robin so much that owen takes to calling robin tys teddy bear after only two months of them living there. 3/14/2000

:oswife:takes to trying to fatten the two up {shes italian creole and toma food is a religion to her and they quickly bond over her teaching them to ccok and them eating together

on 4/13/2000 :oswife catches robin teaching ty sweadish and gaelic and as a resault she takes all three children to get tested for school{their homeschooled but she wants to know if she should be giving them harder material all three test extrodinarily high and get scholership offers but decline it so that they can stay home.

Eveything continues on from that point with :oswife: teaching the kids her familial recipees {something she excludes owen from though he gets to eat the resault} ant the three children making friends with the boys next door{ooooo19/iiiiiii13/wwwww11}

they celebrate the twos birthdays on 9/31/2000

the year ends well for them all.

The next year goes much the same until september

9/10/2001 the three kids and owens neices and the next door neighbor boys are at a sleep over in the strickland home and go to bed early sincetylers 10thvbirthday is the next day.

9/11/2001 the towers are hit

and owen looses his entire crew when one of the floors collapses {owen was pushed out of the way which is the only reason he surrvives}

9/11/2001 to 1/04/2002 the family and the city struggle and owen greives

owen trying hard to take care of all his guys familys {causes an argument with :oswife: as ty and the kids need him to}

on 1/04/2002 owen overhears robin asking one of the neighbor boy if he was going to die to. Oens listens as robin explains that his baba was a fire fighter to that he got hurt got sad started drinking and died in the fire that killed his ma’i’ia and left the two kids homeless.

Owen tosses his alchohal less then an houur later.

Later that week while he and :oswife: are setting things up to move all of his crews widows and children into the blocked off wing of the strickland home when they overhear lynn calling :oswife: mi’ada and she tells owen that it means{a second mother that chooses a child and takes them in as their own without attachments to the biologicl parents} and while talking about it all they realize that in all the comotion they had missed the kids birthdays {the kids didnt say anything as they didnt want to further stress them out}.

Ashamed owen asks them what they want for their late birthday present.

Lynn and tyler ask for books {medical texts} and robin asks for a storage locker for their bags outside the home.

Owen gives them all what they asked for {though he has to bite his tounge to keep from asking what is in the bags as they are packed away} (lynn and rodin pack awayall but lynns bag robins bag and their babas work bag{all in all their parents jewelry documents toma artifacts :///: and nash herilooms paperwork {bucksgmas}books ma’i’ia’s phone computor jewelry box and keys the safes contents ma’i’ia’s religious wear pictures tech and their emotional items{stuffed animals} are packed away while their clothes hardrives and granpas medal box are kept in their personal lockers}

everything goes fine until 12/13/2004 when lynn{14}collapses at school and is found to be pregnant.

{meanwhile yyyyyyyyy and eugine ‘just had a child together’{the childs father is one of yyyyyy’s clients not eugine} and yyyyyyy drops the baby off at eugines doorstep not wanting a ‘gimp’ as the child was born with a form of cerbal palsy}

[the baby is matthew eugine buckley ffff left eugine after the clearly biracial matthew shwed up. She stays with xxx and shannon and leaves maddie behind without a care.]

Yyyy jumps on it and arrives at their home THAT day.

Lynn{14} swears that the baby is wwww’s{15}[her boyfriend]

but yyyyyy dosent belive her

on seeing this robin sneaks away into their room and packs the three bags and usees the bike locks to make sure the bags cant be opened without their permission {not trusting yyyyy}

the bags are tear proof fire proof water proof ect

{he puts their necklaces up in tys locker}

yyyy tells lyn that shes being sent to a special hospital for underage mothers

lynn says shes not goingnot trusting her

lynn and robin end up being dragged from the home by yyyys brother{a cop} screaming for their mi’ada papa and tyler/ty the whole time.

Yyyyy informs :oswife: that she must kick owen out that night untill the investigation ends or she’ll take tyler as well with barely hidden glee.

Owen packs his bags and moves ou under yyyys watch

she then leaves with the three locked bags

yyyy dosent know about robins hermaphrodite status as he wears a special bandage like item over his feminine bits that hides it all well {marcy got it for him to make raiseing him as a boy abit easier

yyyyyyy drags a distraught robin to even eugine buckleys home where she all but flings him into the nursery and locks the door behind him.

While she takes the bags to eugine robin notices that theres a new born baby in the room with him.

With nothing else to do he picks the now crying baby up and begins to soothe him noticeing the bruises all over him and the leg brace and being extra carefull with the little one and glances around the room. He finds a vial of medicine with the name matthew eugine buckley on it and assumes that its the babys name. The vials paper work is next to it. He reads through it quickley and realizes that its and anti seizure med and that the baby needs it three times a day.

He checks the boy finds no needle marks and is concerned. He KNOWS the resaults of not taking such a medication but isnt sure that its the babies medication so he cant do anything.

Meanwhile yyy has dropped the bags with eugine and left to check lynn into the hospital.

Eugine spends hours trying to get them open before giving up and locking them in a safe in the basement. Then he leaves to pick maddalind up from one of his friends [where he sent her to deal with her mother leaving].

He returns hours later nd in that time matthew had had a seizure and robin had been forced to resuscitate him after he stopped breathing{thankfull for owens lessens} and had given the baby a dose following the instructions on the paperwork.

Eugine sends maddie to handle settleing robin in, maddie finds the door shut but asumes its an accident and unlocks it. She find robin paceing the room with mattie{2 weeks} with a finger on his pulse.

She asks what happened [shes been away two weeks] and robin explains whats happened since he got there.

Maddie checks the baby over {she knew about maddie but hadent met him face to face} and aftbeing assured that the child will be okay she gos to her father and asks him when mattie got the new meds

eugine explains that he had never seen him have a seizure so he hadnt given him the meds and apologizesfor worrying her.

Maddie returns and packs both kids into her care and takes them to the hospital so that matthew can be checked over.

Hes admited and released two days later after his meds are evened out

maddie takes mattie and robin home that day to find yyyyy and eugine at the kitchen table changing robin and lynns names legally speaking{12/15/2004} robin and lynn become evan eugine buckley and nionna ann buckley “so that they will fit in better with maddie and mattie”

yyyyy leaves and updates lynn/nionna on the name change.

lynn/nionna { } refuses to answear to the new name and after trying to escape she is sedated and spends the rest of her pregnancy heavily drugged due to her “inapropriate” “agressive” and “dleusional” behavior {by 12/15/2004 shes six mths pregnant}

on 12/23/2004 lynn/nionna gos into labour way to early and gives birth to a stillborn daughter.

Yyyyyyy wont let her see the baby or even know the gender and drops her at the buckly home three hours later still druged and out of it.

The misscariage is listed as a resault of the mothers illicit drug use

in reality yyyyyyyyy had given the baby to aaaaaaa and sent a sample of the girls dna in to ‘catch owen’ so she can take tyler

however the dna clears owen

on hearing this via phone call while driving crashes into another carefullyyyyyy and aaaa die instantly but lynns daughter “alexi” was lleft unscathed.

Alexi winds up with aaaaa’s daughter hhhh whos 22 as she is listed as aaaaa’s biological childrenalexi is raised well from then on.{same day}{12/23/2004}

on 1/12/2005 cps sends another worker out to the buckly house.

eugine quickley bribes the man to sign off on him keeping both children and he is awarded full custody.

On 1/14/2005 alexi’s dna clears owen.

While this means owen can go back home with his wife and son he and :oswife:cant get robin or lynn back as they were oficaily adopted and cps wont give them any information about the children or who has them only that they are settled in and that they cant be moved again noteing that the stricklands were still negligent in their care of lynn.

Owen is told by the agent {who is involved with hhhh} that lynns daughter alexi is safe but wont let him see her or even send her letters {owen gets suspicius that something bad has happened to HIS kids.

Tyler had been devestated by the loss of his siblings and cant stand to hear his name {tyler or ty} and has been going by tk since a few days after they were taken.

Owen focuses on raiseing tk and finding HIS kids {keeping the locker paid up just in case though he never looks into the bags} while :oswife: leaves tk withhis father and focusses on her job to deal with her greif.

Meanwhile 1/15/2005 is the last visit that cps makes to the buckleys due to another bribe by eugene {his perfect maddie needs siblings}.

Shortly after ariveing lynn/nionna{14} dissapears.

Eugine claims she ran away for drugs but in reality hes locked her away in to basement

maddie believes eugines story about the basement being caved in and filled with cement to keep the house from following suit.

Things go realitivly alright for the next four months:

-----eugine is gruff and cold towards evan{12} and matthew{>1} but trys to be pleasant to maddalind fffff{17} {his golden child} though he does loose his temper with her sometimes

-----any time he looses his temper he take evan “fishing” {drags him to the little shed on the lake in fffffthe back of the property and beats him bloody from his shoulders to his hips where his clothes fffffwill hide them}

-----evan dosent tell and does his best to hide it as eugine threatens mathew while he beats him with fffffthe switch{and cause evan dosent want to cost maddie and mathew another parent knowing how fffffit feels} [he thinks he can handle it and escape with mattie and track his sister down.]

This continues until 5/12/2005 when maddalind goes to visit her mother ffff shannon and uncle xxx{who married her mother a week prior}.

Its a four month trade off.

In her absence eugine goes from cold distant and a bit harsh to a creul callous monster and the house[not a home] turns into hell

the beatings become a daily occurrenc

on 9/13/2005 eugine fractures evans {l/r}ight kneecap and left him on the kitchen floor.

Matthew starts crying

eugine leaves to go out with his friends

evan drags himself to matties room and forces himself upright using his good leg and the wall picks him up and slides back down focussing on the baby to block out the pain{like all toma/nontoma boys he has a weird issue with pain only able to feel pain when the injury damages a bone}.

This is the scene maddie returns home to evan passed out with mattie on his chest his knee swollen and purple.

She drives them to the er and calls eugine

eugine arrives and claims that evan had fallen but that he didnt think it was that bad.{he tells evan that he knew where lynn/nionna is but that if he didnt behave hed kill her.}

After three days evan is sent home.

At which point eugine cuts back on the hits and bruiseing to sheild maddalind from the trueth {in his mind hes training the boy to be the perfect brother} and the most she ever sees is eugine smack evan for being disrespectful{not looking up when he talks/mumbleing/backtalking}.

Maddie thinks nothing of evans shyness and lack of acting out as shes never seen him be any different.

In reality while eugine had cut down on the overt violence his new favorite method for taining up evan is horrific but evans act is flawles as he works best under pressure and the threats to mattie and lynn/nionna and the precived risk to maddies happiness put him basically in mission mode.

Eugines abuse had turned sexual but since the only time he went full out he did so in the dark of evans room{so he couldnt anticipate what was coming} he never notices the patch or what hides behind it, something evan is gratefull for.

The first time he takes a sample from evan and puts it in a proper freezer in his truck {heworks at a fertility clinic} {so that he can make anotther pet} {evan dosent register what he was doing as he was out of it at the time.}

By evans 13th birthday on 10/31/2005 he is matthews{1} full time carer and administrates all his meds as maddie 18 is often out looking at schools.

This continues for the next three years.

10/31/2008

maddie{21} visits for evans 16the birthday bringing her boyfreind doug with her.

That night eugine ups the abuse and makes matthew{almost 4} watch.

The next day evan pulls maddie to the side and asks that she not bring up his birthday ever again.

Shes confused but gos with it.

Then she heads back to collage.

On 12/14/2008 eugine finds out that evan{16} had been ‘spoiling’ matthew{4} when he catches the boy giving him a sponge bath [hes been giving him sponge baths as the boy is deathly afraid of bodies of water {though hes at least desenseitized him to glasses of it} and his panic attacks will trigger his seizures even when hes properly medicated and his seizures still cause arithmyias]{mattie has has 12 ‘heart attacks by age four}] and flips out.

He stalks over and decks even hard knocking him out.

Then he drahs the unconcius sixteen year old and the shakeing terrorfied four year outside down to the lakes peir.

He drops mat on the ground and hes to petrifeid to run as eugine teis evan to the peir

then he waits for evan to wait.

Once he comes to eugine lifts mat off the deck and THROW him into the lake.

Evan PLEADS and BEGS even breaking his wrist trying to get to mattie.

Just as mattie passes out eugine knocks evan out again.

He drags mattie to shore and resusitates him quickly not wanting to loose a toy and shove the catatonic boy into a box in the back of his truck.

Then he drags evan back inside this time he dosent hit the lights before starting in on evan.

As a resault he finds the patch and removes it.

On seeing what it hides he invites three of his friends over to have a turn.

This gos on for six hours evan going in and out of conciusness the whole time.

After his friends leave eugine leaves for texas where fff xxx shannon and maddie are leaving evan broken and bleeding and lynn/nionna tied up in the basement.

Evan wakes the next day barely able to move between the pain and the greif but forces himself up right to get to lynn/nionna but he cant get into the basement as its locked.

He goes back up and showers to clear his head, then he dresses and searches the house.

He nearly gives up before he finds the keys on the kitchen floor {they must have fell out as eugine left}, and invigorated by something like hopeevan grabs the keys and races as fast as he can back down to the basement where he unlocks the door.

He finds her chained and quickly unlocks her and carefully guides her upstairs and lays her on maddies bed.

That done he goes to maddies closet and ueses her pratice bandages to imobilize his wrist. Then he goes back to the basement, unlocks the safe and grabs the bags{hes shocked to find that lynns birthstone necklace is in one of the bags side pockets sans flashdrive but ignores it}.

Then he finds that when he packed away his babas jacket he must have lost the name tag as its gone but the bag and lock are both intact. He packs the bags into fff’s abandoned car and then he goes through the house collecting everything related to him lynn maddie and matthew {so that eugene cant toss them}and anything worth anything as a way to pay for their escape as well as anything useful to them. Then he packs lynn into the passenger seat and climbs into the drivers side and takes off not sure where hes going just unable to stop running once he starts {thankful for :oswifes: driving lessons}

together lynn and robin wind up back in newyork.{12/17/2008}

they check the stricklan house first but find it empty, then they check the station only to find it borded up.

{owens new crew is a few blocks over and he tyler and the previuos crews widows and children are on vacation.

As a last resort on {12/18/2008} they check the locker and are shocked to find that their keys still workand thet their bags are still there.

They collect the bags and robin puts on his necklace.

Then nionna has an idea she runs off to a near by store and uses the money robin took from the buckley house to buy a burner phone and puts the piece of paperwork with the phones number on it in the locker just in case the stricklands still want them.

Then with the bags contents she and robin set up fake ids for themselves

lynn uses one of the fake birth certificates and fills out the backstory of wiona ari russo{18}[20]with her ma’i’ia’s computor {a trans boy[william ‘billy’ ari russo] who was able to transition socially as a child who grew up in an orphanage}[BILLY RUSSO PLOT LINE]

while robin becomes evan ‘buck’ tar’ein price buckley in much the same way [keeps most of his ‘adoptive’ name since eugene wont be looking for evan buckley.

Then he uses the fact that even maddie dosent know how old he is and the fact that at 16 he looks 20 ish to list him self as 23 {since an age change will also make it easier to hide} [going by buck for his own comfort]

[maddie dosent know his age as she was never told it and buck already tested out of highschool when he cam to the buckleys though eugine wouldnt let him go to collage].

12/18/2008 billy{18}[20] signs up for the marines and buck{16}[23] for the seals both their fake histories backing it.

[billy russo marine plot/castle plot ect]

buck{18}[20] gets through all of his training right up till the end when he fails a test {disobeying orders under the impression that one of his team mates was left behind and hauling off shoving his co into the mud and takeing off to get the teammate alone. {5/17/2009}

hes told he isnt what they want for the job.

He returns to the usa and winds up in texas{5/20/2009}

on 5/19/2009 hes just heading for a park to run his energy off when hes nearly takeld by a shakeing five year old MATTHEW.

Buck drops to his knees and pulls him in close gently afraid hell dissapear.

A second later before he can say anything he hears a woman screaming “get away from my son”

he shoots up and steps in front of matthew as the woman comes close but before he can say anything mattie signs to her ‘thats MY even’

the woman stops cold and stares at him clearly 5ish6ish moths pregnant.

she comes close and buck expects her to slap him but instead she flings herslef at him and hugs him tight.

She introduces herself as shannon breeanna jjjjjjjj and invites him to her home.

Shanons inlaws are steying with her at the base house shes in but are out for errends at the time.

Shannon and buck talk for hours and when shannon mentions that shes worried that eugine will come for mattie buck quickley inacts a plan.

He pulls out his ma’i’ia’s computor and changes the boys legal name and history {he becomes matthew tarein price} a boy who is legally speaking the adoptive child of shannon and buck after eugine surrenderd his rights {fakeing the paperwork}.

While shannon adores mattie the boy clings to buck and is more active with him then he had ever been with her.

As a resault the two agree that buck will have primary custody of the boy.

They trade numbers and agree to keep in constant contact.

Then buck takes mattie to his apartment nearby.

Shannon tells the diazs that mattie went to his older brother whos could care for him better {financially and emotionally so that she can focus on her comeing baby and both children will be better for it}.

Ramon and helenna are a bit pissed but dont speak their oopinions{she threw a child away in their eyes leading to outward hostillity and blatent distencing}.

Peppa who was visiting better understands it when she hands her a recording of buck and evan{evans face blurred out}.

Buck and mattie stay in texas for a year.

Then on 7/19/2010 things change.

Mattie whos only six had to be put into special classes with tutors when the tests buck gets for him put him in highschool knowledge wise.{the tutors are hired as they can keep up with mattie and challenge him apropriatly.

Buck moves to a house nearer to shannon and keeps close contact with her.

While keeping up with billy

On 3/22/2011 billy stops talking to him

On 4/09/2011 their declared kia bodies unrecoverd and Steve calls buck.

Buck checks his ma’i’ia’s laptop and tells steve that billy at least is still alive as his monitor is still giving feed back on his status.

Buck explains that he can come in and find him easily with his own monitors tracker.

Steve reluctently agrees after reading bucks file.

Buck drops mattie with shannon and she wishes him luck.6/10/2011

He meets with steve, then he and steves team track billy down

it takes only five days

on 4/18/2011 the team and buck return with billy {they didnt find /////}

suddenly steve figures out the real reason buck went with his dismissial and didnt fight for the job, as buck is completely shut down.

Steve passes him off to nathen and focusses on biily

nathen brings buck out of his head by sparring with him and the two wind up in bed together.

Bucks surprised at how comforatable he is with nathen

steve makes buck a reacurring piece of the team on the low

shannon is more then happy to have mattie in the house when bucks off ‘gijoing’.

By 6/22/2011 buck is in to deep and cant see his life without nathen

nathen is much the same even giving evan a ring even though they cant marrying

{its quick but realitivly healthy}

however a mission on 12/13/2011 changes that

this mission was overseen by rawlins as steve is gone to handle his six year old daughters health issues the mission gos horribly.

Buck is there

everyone knew the mission was a trap but rawlins wouldnt listen

there are consequences to this

the mission leaves:

buck/ injured with shrapnel in his {l/r}ight leg

billy/ half deaf in his right ear

frank/ just bruised and bloody

mason/ missing his left arm

./ missing both legs knees down

leaving dead:

;

\\\\\

but they manage to ‘rescue’ /////{}

frack looses it on rawlins and gets an honrable discharge {steve has to fight for it}

mason, ., and billy are all given medical discharges

from the team only steve and ////// stay

buck gos home and stays at shannons until 12/21/2011 when she convinces buck to take mattie traveling to get his mind off nathen

he leaves on that day

on 1/03/2011 buck finds out hes pregnant with nates child{7mths} [hed been carrying stealth and put his recent medical issues down to the shrapnel.

He goes to nates memorial on 1/29/2011 at 3 am {his wills wishes}{he was cremated right after death} and meets his adoped brother judd ryder and his wife grace ryder.

They invite him to breakfest {nate talked about him ALL THE TIME}

while at breakfest buck starts washing dishes with grace while judd goes to show mattie7 how the grill works

buck gos into labor but thinks its braxten hicks since it dosent hurt the way he was told it would

but grace notices when his water breaks

she leaves a note for judd and mattie and takes nate’s boy to one of the clinics she knows wont make a fuss about bucks gender.

Nadia ________ price ryder is born 9 hours later at midnight 1/29/2011{shes a femme herm}

when the nurse is rude about buck not having a middle name for nadia and her father not being there grace gos cold and rude and gets the nurse kicked from the room and buck adds grace to the birth certificate quickly {hiding it so he can tell her later on her bday when he asks her to be godmom {nate always wanted her as his future kids godmom}

but then buck gets the call

buck had put in aplications to fire departments everywhere when he was booted from the marines

and he just got a job with the 118 in la

he mentions this to grace and she offers to watch the children till hes ready to move them {hes uneasy but allows it because nathen trusted her}

before hitting la he tracks down maddalind who moved to oregan for work and doug and visits her job at the hospital.

The two talk but when he tells her he found mattie alive she freaks out calls him delusional and runs inside for help.

Buck leaves upset

he winds up at a bar and ends up druck and banging a random chick.

He quickly gets unhealthily attached to sex and trys to ignore it

he heads to cali and gets a decent apartment for him and the kids renovating it quickly to meet matties needs

then he picks them up and brings them to the apartment

he quickly enrolls mattie into online college

he meets with {eddies teacher]

he explains his situationto her{hes a single father who recently lost his partner}

she gets him clearence to sendd mattie and nadia to the school {they sit in a reading nook behind her desk and mattie works on his school work under her guidence} on a trial run

shes shocked that her normally rowdy class becomes 99% calm and well behaved in the presence of a baby who needs them quiet

it gos far better then expected and mattie acts as an asisstant when his work is done {he takes hyperactive kids to the side and helps them burn it off with challenges

then he drops the twokids wit h a sitter shannon used for her son and recommended to him when he called her

then he stops by the station and meets with the crew hes asigned to winding up having dinner{its the last day of their seven so he wont start for a week}

he goes home and tucks the kids in

he then pays the girl to watch them for another hour and gos out to get laid to try to get the thought sex out of his head

it doesnt work

he returns home sends the sitter home and showers scouring his skin to try to feel right again not understanding why it didnt feel like it did with nathen {he thought his earleir self disgust was due to his and the girls drunken states}.

He spends the next week adjusting the kids to the new shedule

tesh picks them up at 6

theier at the school from six thirty to four thirty

teach drops them with the sitter at 5

the sitter is working on her degree online inbetween cooking and watching the kids {mat even helps her with papers with random bits of knowledge that hes gained from his addiction to books}

she watches them till six when bucks off and 9 when hes on duty.

She watches them all day sunday while she has saterdays off{she dosent like being alone on sundays}

buck takes the kids to the liebarry on saterdays

Through the week buck continues to screw any one who will take him{hes safe about it but is desperatly chaseing what he had with nate}

the first saterday {two days till his first day} he takes the kids to the libarry

he settles them together in a reading cricle with other kids and settles in in the back.

Half way through the kids movies he sees a kid out of the corner of his eye.

As he watches the kid a boy that looks 14 at most dissapears up the roof accses stairs

following the feeling in his gut he turns to the mom beside him and tells her to call 911 as he just saw a kid go up to the roof and as she pulls out her phone he races after the kid knowing mattie and nadia are safe where they are {they have to be checked in and out}

he finds the kid on the roofs edge

they talk the kid is 17 severly starved and abused and trans{mtf}

buck ends up dragging her badily back when she slips and nearly falls

the two lay on the roof the kid shakeing hard

buck asks if shes looked into names yet

she says she cant find one that fits

buck offers up baudicca and the girl clings to it and the story he tells her about the name as he gets her up and shuffles her downstairs and hands her off to the first decent cop he sees

he picks the kids up checks them out and heads home after making his statement.

That night is the first time since nates death he felt alive {he loves nadia her existence dosent fill the hole in his lungs}

he continuse to chase the feeling in sex but it dosent come back.

That monday he starts his first day at the 118

athena takes buck out for a drink and asks why he freaked over the baby so hard

“it wasnt you being stupid you knew what you were doing and continued I wanna know why you did it”

he tells her he couldnt understand some one throwing a baby away {the girl had to flush the toilet twice to move the baby the baby wound up with the girls boyfreind, the newly named baudicca but buck dosent know this }.
