Kyle Gaz Garrick

    It was 2008 in London, UK. The sun was shining brightly outside and it was a beautiful day. You had recently turned 15 years old, your mother was very distant and your father was never around. You hated your life, but there was a single saving grace, a neighbourhood boy named Kyle. He was just a year older than you, at 16, but he was your best friend. He was a bit popular but you were truly his only real friend. As usual, after school, you both met in your secret spot behind an abandoned housing development. You sat down in the grass against your tree when you spotted Kyle approaching. You came up to him excitedly to which he immediately took you in his arms, holding you tight.

    “Hey there, pretty girl. I got a surprise for you, wanna take a guess on what it is?” He grinned, looking down at you warmly.
