Coincidence or Not

*** Chapter 1***

***Hi guys! This is my first story so please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors. Enjoy!***

There once was a boy who felt like an outsider, a boy who would do anything to fit in but would always stand out.

It all started when he was 10 years old. There was a terrible accident. A accident that would have cost him his life if it wasn't for a charming stranger. A accident that changed his life, for the very next day he was an orphan. A young boy who lost it all in the blink of an eye, but how he wished that stranger left him for dead.

***6 years after the accident***

Jumping from foster care to foster care. He knew he would never get adopted because who would want a 16 year old and he was fine with that. He lost himself and forgot the meaning of life and that boy's name is Alex Stanford. Alex forgot what it meant to be loved and to have a family. All he had was the guilt that he killed his loved ones.

His mother, father and little sister Darla. Gone. And he caused it. Every night he see's the car lights flashing and he hears his mother's scream and see's tears running down Darla's face. Then there was a crash and everything went black and the next morning Alex woke up in the hospital.

He panicked and started screaming for his family . He asked nurses, doctors and patients. He ran around the whole hospital, tears running down his face, until Dr Bernad stopped Alex and took him into a room and told him that his family died on scene, and that was when Alex broke down and Dr Bernad held him and before Alex realised he was in tears and the thought of his family brought nothing but pain and sorrow.

***End of Flashback***

At that moment big stupid Roy walked in, all he ever did was bully Alex but today is the day that Alex stands up for himself because if you don't look out for yourself no one else will.

"If isn't the freak show Alex Stanford." said Roy.

"Id rather be a freak show than a stupid bully, who has nothing better to do than to try and make people feel miserable." retorted Alex. 

Roy screamed and tried to throw a punch at Alex who dodged his attack. Alex threw one punch which caused Roy to stumble backwards holding his nose. Roy looked down at his hands and saw blood then looked up at Alex with his eyes black filled with rage. "You're dead Stanford!" yelled Roy.

Before Roy could attack Alex, Mrs Kingston walked in, horrified by the scene in front of her. As per usual Roy played the victim and Mrs Kingston believed him because who wouldn't? He was the only one actually injured. Roy ran up to Mrs Kingston with fake tears in his eyes. 

"Oh Mrs Kingston thank goodness you came, I came in here Alex about the new seating arrangements and he attacked me. I was so scared." said Roy with fake tears in his eyes.

Alex got punished, no supper for him and all he did was defend himself.

Alex was sick and tired of this life, so e started planning. He would leave at dusk. Living on the streets would be better than living with the Kingston's. He asked Jessica, a girl he secretly liked if she would run away with him and she gladly accepted. She was the only person that stood by his side through it all.
