Chapter 1

Summer of 2000

I just moved back to where I grew up in Manchester I was just fresh out of care, my mother got a council house on the estate, we thought it be a fresh start.

I soon reunited with an old school friend Karen who i was best friends with but things turned very sexual between us we never gained a proper bond like we used to but I did become close to her sister Jane which will factor into the start of this story, and my mother Jean later became close to janes mother Lane.

Soon our mothers latest scheme caused destruction in both families by forcing Jane to sleep with Robert which resulted of Jane moving with us to harpurhey not knowing she was pregnant and my aunt Michelle almost commiting suicide and Robert to stalk a game of stalking.

We then up and packed moved to harpurhey to start a new life but nothing was going to be simpler. I was slowly losing my grip. Jane was spiralling into a wreck of depression and Robert was following us where ever we went causing us to be paranoid and scared.

At this point there was alot of confusion my mother was being stalked by an unknown person, with letters, bricks thrown into our windows and phone calls we was confused the police couldn't track it but knew she had the number in her phone.

She moved us away again this time one girl who was our neighbour manipulated Jane into beating up a girl and causing trouble to the point the who of our area wanted her dead the girls father made moves for my mother had her doped up on morphine by the time she snapped out of it he had battered her black and blue.

Again we moved fast with help of my father, but we couldn't settle we moved twice more till we moved back to Manchester and I started college where my drama would begin.

just before my last month in high school, I went to a party with a friend, we was dancing before I got separated I went to a get a drink but accidentally bumped into someone.

a very attractive guy with a nice smile I was drawn into it, we started talking forgetting we was at a party, my friend ended up ditching me at the end of the night I was drunk and had no idea where I was, luckily the guy I met earlier who I learnt his name was Mike drove me home, over the month I was meeting him im secret, the week before I was starting college I met him the final time.

things was getting heated in the car, too heated. I remembering feeling like "what does this mean now?

"I am just like everyone else now.

Even though I had sex for the first time that night things wasn't all happy endings, he was straight when I met him and I was still discovering who I was, my mother was homophobic, life would be different.

it seemed he was over thinking things because he left me in the middle of the street feeling insignificant.
