The Ever Lasting Journey

Once there was a boy named Johnny Samuel,  But everyone knew him by his nickname "johnny boy".
Johnny was 18, he had dark blonde hair almost like a rusty color, he was very frail and had green eyes and had very smooth pail skin almost as if his skin was made out of porcelain. He was native American, German and French. He was always looked down to because he was known as the "Stupid one". Johnny boy Lived in Alaska one of the coldest continents you would ever want to live in. He lived in the second most largest city in Alaska called Fair Banks. There were many wealthy kids, but he wasn't one.

Johnny lived with his mother named Brandy, 45 and single mother his father had left him when he was only an infinite. Brandy has blond hair, and freckles, she was very curvy almost like a cocola bottle.  she had green and grey eyes, but don't let her looks fool you she was very mean. She always had this hatred in her she never wanted anyone to be ahead of her or get ahead in life. She mostly struggled to pay the bills and put food on the table. She never said " i love you johnny" not even once she wished he was never born.

But johnny boy had one friend named Ann Dias she was a beautiful girl, she had beautiful long black hair that fell down her back, dark big brown shinny eyes just like the jewels that he had seen in on this women's finger and the cutest little smile. She was only 16 and lived with her grandparents, she was funny, outgoing, loving and very caring.  She lived rite next store to Johnny Boy, her parents were very wealthy and put her through school unlike john..... But she always tried to teach what she learned that day in school. Johnny boy loved her...

"THAT'S IT!!!!" "I'm sick of living here I'm sick of living this terrible life Ann i just need to get away some where far far way for this hell hole"! said johnny. "Where would you go?, Who would you stay with you know you don't have any money!" Said Ann. johnny got very quiet and a tear fell down his face, he knew she was rite but than again she was wrong he knew in his heart he could do it he just had to figure it out. He wiped the tears from his face and finally looked up at Ann and said " I know that, but I'm  going to make it I'm going to live a better life, I'm freaking 18 and no education i can only dream how it would be like.... (Paused) I wanna be someone I'm tired of being called the "Stupid One", I'm sorry Ann i just have to do this i just have to leave and do me for once."

There was that awkward silence again...no one spoke, no one said anything. until... ' BANG BANG BANG unlock this fucking door rite now johnny Samuel!' Ann and john looked at each other in fear.
"okay mom" johnny said in a crackly voice. He got up and unlocked the door, he grasped the door knob and all of a sudden the door swung open before he could even open the door. "What did i tell you before johnny huh???? what did i tell you about having the door fucking locked??!!" "I'm sorry Ma'am" said johnny boy...  "I will never do it again i swear" "Well don't be sorry be rite sometimes? john your just like your sorry father and as for you Ann you have to leave now! Your mother was looking for you." "okay, thank you for telling me that bye johnny boy" said Ann and she blazed out the room she walked so fast that you could see the air follow behind her. There i was alone once again for the 300,000,000 million time.  Tomorrow i will escape, and they shall all see.

The next morning johnny woke up extra early exactly at 5 A.M. ~Yawns~ "Well hopefully my plain to run away will be successful" johnny said to him self as he rubbed his eyes. He finally found the strength to get up and walked over to the corner to get his weekender that he has been saving for the longest he packed all his clothes and shoes up, got dressed and was on his way. When Johnny got out side he could feel the cold breeze sweep through his thin blond hair, and he was off. He didn't leave no note no goodbye letter just the one thing that kept him back for so long was the fear that he felt for 15 years all that was behind him now he could never turn back. He made his way up the dark road that lead him to Ann's house he wanted to say his last goodbyes to her. "ANN, ANN!!! ANNNNNN!!!!" He shouted at Ann's window, he could see the lights go on and before you know it Ann had appeared out the window beautiful as always. "Hello johnny boy, what are you doing up so early"? said Ann. "I'm leaving i had to say my last good byes i couldn't just leave you hanging" There was that awkward silence again. Ann had cleared her throat and said "So its true you are leaving?...."

Ann had stepped away from the window and came down stairs and had opened the door in her hand was a bag that seemed full to the top. "Yes my darling its true....But what is that in your hand?" johnny said in a curious voice. "Its for you for your trip, In the bag there is $1,000 dollars on a VISA card a cell phone and some food vaulters and 1 night stay at any hotel you like. With no words spoken just full of emotions johnny grabbed Ann and hugged her he never had so much money in his life he felt relieved that one of his problems were gone. "Thank you so much Ann your amazing and..." "and what johnny boy?" Ann said looking up at him with that glow in her eyes.  " I I I love you Ann" he grabbed her by her waist and kissed her. Ann was shocked she had never seen this side of him ever before.  (Ann smiles) "I love you too johnny boy hope to see you soon my numbers in your phone please call and tell me your alright" "Okay i will Ann i wont let you down" Johnny gave her one last hug and said his goodbyes once again and he was on his way.

At 7 A.m he was already at the air port he had already booked his flight with the mans help he sat there and waited at the terminal alone and a little bit nervous he never had been on a plane before and never been to another state before. "This should be interesting looking around at everyone around him" johnny said to himself. "The Plane is ready to be boarded with the passenger's" the lady had said. Than everyone started to walk to the entrance. 40 minutes had passed and everybody was sitting down comfortably either reading a book or watching t.v. But not johnny boy he was so achiest but nervous to get to the new state. After 9 long tiring hours on the plane they finally landed in New Jersey. "Finally were here" Johnny said to himself. He walked down the terminal and went out the exit. "Ahhhhh...so this is how jersey is nice and warm" it was 5:30 PM at this point johnny boy was tired he had been up the hole flight and didn't feel like walking anymore he had catched a cab to the comfort inn hotel in North Caldwell.

The next morning johnny boy had signed out of the hotel early exactly at 9 o' clock, He met up with this guy named Mark Dean, he was a teacher at one of the colleges he offered to give Johnny boy some basic school  lessons and college lessons to get him on his way to success. For 12 Months straight johnny boy haven't been in contact with no one only his best friend Ann. His mother on the other hand didn't care were he had went to until now. Johnny already had past all his courses and got his High school diploma. He was working for a car company and  was still going to college to get his master degree in auto repair shop.
 He was 19 intelligent, hard working, devoted, out going and humbled Johnny boy never had thought he could ever get this far without anyone helping him but the sky was the limit he had learned that nothing is totally impossible you just have to work hard for it.

~RING RING RING~ "Hello" Johnny had said. "Hi this is your mother how are you doing ? are you okay? where are you staying at?" "WAIT!, how did you get my number? I been doing fine by the way for once in my life im finally happy something you never wanted me to be!" johnny boy had said in a loud tone, "Baby i miss you that's all please come home you could be with me forever". At this point johnny boy was done speaking to his mother he had hung up the phone and went along about his day.

He was finally happy he had everything he could only dream for but it all came to reality, He was not going to let no one come in between his happiness or his life, He had a college education, a soon to be wife name Ann Dias, a job, a house and a car. And that's all he needed he forgot about his mother and tried to forget about his horrible past and moved on to the near future ahead with his new family.
