Personal Narrative-Out Of Sympathy And Outer Banks

Improved Essays
It has been two years since I last saw you. Though only two years pass, I still remember everything. I will always remember that you were a troubled kid. Our personalities, style, thinking, dreams, taste, background are different from each other. Sometimes I wonder, how did we end up becoming best friends. Throughout the last year of middle school, a few of your friends left and betrayed you. I remember the days you were crying and felt like giving up. Maybe out of sympathy, I started to talk to you more. The more I talk to you, I found the real you. Somehow out of sympathy we created a bond. Still, you were scared, scared of me leaving and betraying. I remember we were talking about the situation and I said something with the word yet. "That yet will come true because one day, you'll leave me like everyone else did," you said. …show more content…
The influence you gave to me wasn't the greatest. Somehow, I decided to stay no matter what anyone said. I never thought that out of sympathy a friendship could develop. The fight back at the Outer Banks still affects me. I thought I should just leave you but I couldn't. I didn't want to break a promise, I also didn't want to be another person who walked out of your life. Sometimes I would look at you and think, "Why can't I leave you?" Coming to Early College was a challenge because I didn't want you to say that I left you. Every day I feel the burden of knowing I left you when I didn't have to. You remind me of my decision every day. When we talk it seems like you have something to say but you don't say. Slowly, everything fades

    A loud ring echoed throughout the house and cleared my hazy mind as I lay sprawled out on the couch. My thoughts slowly cleared and I remembered the messages from my phone. Yet another ring awakened me as I realized I had invited company. “Here” the text read. My plans for the night hit me like a sledgehammer to a nail and I sprang from the couch to grab the door.…

    The cold air slammed into my face as I exited the long forgotten warmth of the helicopter. I hugged myself in an effort to stay warm, but the Alaskan weather had another idea.

    JC Denton stood on the south dock of Liberty Island. Beneath his stoic, lifeless facade he was worried - deathly worried that there were no GEP guns to be found on this lifeless rock. Liberty Island had previously been ravaged by international terrorists several years prior, who exploded most of the Statue of Liberty in the process. He had been told that it was the work of the French group Silhouette, who claimed that France “was wrong to give America the Statue,” though he had his doubts. JC had been searching for a GEP gun - or guided explosive projectile gun, a rocket launcher said to be the last word in stealth takedowns - throughout the seemingly endless night.…

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

I think we all must look like a bunch of crazy people because all of us are just standing there, looking at all that we missed over the past two and a half years. In fact, we’re standing still so long that Mr. Waters laughs at us and takes each of our hands and drags us along. When we get up past the boating dock, we see a celebration has taken place because we have all made it back.…
