my short story: The few, The hurt, The ones.

this story is mostly true.the charecter's names have been changed to ensure the security and privacy of the people.

so, to begin this epic journey through the daily lives of some american teenagers, i want to aloow you to get to know a few of the charecters before hand. our first struggled but hardened charecter is Mark Jenson. mark was a 15 year old guy, who had more problems than the iraqi's did over in iraq. to begin, mark has been through alot, he's been beaten, threatened, choked out, and abused by his step father since he was 3, well, until he was thirteen. August of 2008 was the last time he saw his stubborn,steroid looking step father or the 2 people that meant the world and more to him, his beloved step brothers. As usual it started off as a normal day, mark went to school, came home did his homework,his mother and step father fought, nothing abnormal. then things got really bad, the yelling was unbearable, so he took his brothers and took them outside to prevent them from hearing the unusual insults and curse words. minutes passed. it felt as though years had passed by. then his mother came out side all her stuff packed, and ready to just leave it all behind. mark bursted out into tears. his mother called marks father and the cops. but instead of waiting for either of them to come and get him, he packed his stuff and ran, as fast as he could and for as long as he could. the boy was hurt. he stayed at his friend ian's house for months, till one day, his mother found him. and they talked: the mother said"hey there, we need to talk about something". mark said" what could you possibly want from me, you tried to leave me in that hell-hole, with that self centered, abusive,moron." instead of smacking him, or insulting him, his mother just simply walked away. mark called his grandparents and had them buy him a plane ticket to ohio, so he could start over, days passed. mark flew up to ohio. surprisingly he became happy again, he lived. he grew to love a woman. her name was alexis. they did what every other couple did, except mark made a mistake. he didn't protect him, he thought his life was over, he threatened to kill himself. he had lost his mind. he wasn't ready too become a father yet. come to find out, alexis or lex. was a continous liar, and only told him she was pregnant because she didnt want him to leave. well, he left her for good. he moved on, and like every other normal guy, he met another girl, her name was justine, after a month. he decided to stick around, months passed, they fell inlove. didnt have sex, but they were in love, they wanted to wait. they were practically unseperable, like bonnie and clyde. during those months they hit minor speed bumps. then one speed bump turned into mount everest. justine's mother quite frankly didnt want her daughter dating a black man, because when she was in high school she was raped by a black guy, even though mark was, the most insecure man on the surface of the earth, he would never do that to the woman he loved. after that, things got better, and smoothed out, until this boy named matt came along, the typical nerd, got straight a's, and all the stuff a normal nerd would do. well, one day mark, decided to leave justine because he had to relax and sort his life out, many days later, matt had moved in and set a target on justine, eventually justine decided to give matt a chance, mark found out and was destroyed. he felt as though his life was destroyed. until he met a woman named terasena, she was his savior, he put down his gun,drugs and alcohol, just so he could let terasena in to his world, and she walked right on, many nights after terasena or tera for short was walking home from a friends house, and she was raped by a fellow ex boyfriend, mark was livid, he was so upset to the point where he couldn't think. and bascially thats his story, now about zach, his bestfriend. his story is very simple. he pretty much ran into the same problem as mark did, his girlfriend was raped,but by a different guy. and thats his story. so zach and mark spent alot of time together, talking, discussing ways to express there anger, they hunted,rode quads and dirtbikes, worked on cars, and made plans to seek revenge on there womens rapists. this is currently where the story would end, because the next part is made up, one day while mark and zach were sitting at zach's house after a long day at the shooting range,zach said "dude, we gotta get these guys back bro, its haunting me that someone would do that, but the fact that they still are walking free, kills me. we have to get them" mark,while loading his super x defender 12 gauge shot gun with buck shot says "lets get em then" so zach and mark get in marks truck and heads over to the place where tera's rapist,derek, hangs out. mark and zach ran up on him quickly and butted him in the face with the butt of the shot gun and put a potatoe sack bag over his head,tied him up and threw him in the back of the truck. they soon were on there way over to brittany's rapist's house,Dj, zach suddenly lost his cool, got out of the truck, and aimed his .454 magnum a Dj's forehead, zach says" this is what you really deserve, a life for a life" then he pulled the trigger, not even blinking and splattered dj's brains all over his front yard. zach jumped in the back of the truck and mark peeled out and started heading to a private family barn, the barn zach's family owned just outside pataskala. they both got out of the truck and hauled the body inside the barn shutting the huge door behind them, the barn was sound proofed and reeked of blood. they tied Derek by his feet and hung his from the ceiling, and then got out a blow torch and an iron bar, derek has been blindfolded the whole time, zach heated up the iron bar on the ground while mark but on heat protectant gloves then grabbed a hose that linked to a hose containing on one side 100 degree water and another containing 20 degree water. zach went and stood next to the water holders and handed mark the hose. mark approached Derek and asks" why'd you do it? why did you rape her?" derek laughs then awnsers "i didnt do it" mark signals zach to turn on the hot water first, and zach turns on the water and mark sprays derek all over his body his the water, derek screams,then zach switches to the cold water, while pulling out his revolover and aims it at mark. mark turns around in shock at the sound of the click of the hammer. "zach, are you crazy, we are in the same situation, dont do this" mark says. then drops the house zach shoots him 6 times in the spine,mark drops to the floor, zach then shoots derek and walks out side the barn and sets fire to it, while mark lies there and watches the barn burn in front of his face, and his life flashes before his eyes, showing memories of everything he ever loved, then he looks to his right and struggles to drag him self over to what looks like a pile of bodies, he starts moving them around, he see's brittany, zach's girlfriend, tera, mark's girlfriend, and zach. zach had a twin brother named james, who despised them all, he wanted them all dead since the day they met, well he got his wish. and to this day, they mystery was never solved of who killed the victims, because james was found dead outside the barn.
