Turning Point
Prologue
Author
Before I start this story I just want to thank you checking out my novel!
Author
This is currently my second novel! though this is just a side project at the moment, since I'm focusing on my first novel A Redo At Life!
Author
You don't have to check it out, I just mentioned it since I'll be uploading more often there than here.
Author
But anyways, I hope you enjoy this story!
When did all of it go wrong?
Life...was simple back then.
School life, studies, work, and even love...
I had a bright future ahead of me, athletic, smart, and somewhat rich.
WHY DID IT ALL GO WRONG?!
First, my parents died...
And to make it worst, I started getting bullied...
From my outgoing nature, became a anti-social loner...
All my money we're taken by relatives, they even took my parents company...
And as if to deal the final blow-
Aiden Starr
My girlfriend left me.
If only I remained my composure back then, would my life turn out different?
If I had fought back would it be any different?
If I took legal actions for the money, would it make any difference?
If...I paid more attention to her, would she have not left..?
Aiden Starr
...I tried, tried instead of drowning in my sorrows.
Aiden Starr
Things, would have been different...
Aiden Starr
But now it's too late.
Aiden Starr
*kneels and cries on the sidewalk*
I always thought that the rain during a characters sad moment in movies we're scuffed.
Aiden Starr
*stands up and faces the sky*
At this point, it's better to kill myself.
Everything had already went wrong.
I cried so much earlier for not trying...
And here I am, giving up.
In the first place, I don't have the resolve to do that.
I've always thought that controlling myself would be a lot easier than what they say, but I soon realized that...
Controlling, motivating, and forcing yourself to move when you don't want to, is hard.
I've already lost the will to live.
Even if you have fuel, it's impossible to make a broken engine start.
Though it's already flattering myself by comparing to a broken engine.
I'm more of a handicapped bug.
???
A handicapped bug huh, boy?
Aiden Starr
*looks around*
Aiden Starr
Where are you?!
Aiden Starr
Show yourself!
Aiden Starr
I-It's talking!
Necklace
Don't be scared boy.
Aiden Starr
W-who wouldn't be in a situation like this?!
Necklace
I heard your voice.
Necklace
Such a poor boy, played like a toy and got broken by fate.
Aiden Starr
Y, you can read my mind?
Necklace
Yes, I heard everything.
Aiden Starr
So you already know that my life is forsaken.
Aiden Starr
Only death awaits.
Necklace
Treasure your life boy, you only get one.
Aiden Starr
...What a joke, what's the point of living a life like this-
Necklace
Yes, do you want revenge?
Necklace
Relatives, with jealousy towards your family's company, took all the money your parents has.
Necklace
Not only giving you none, but also did not take you in.
Necklace
Classmates and friends ridicule you.
Necklace
Bullying you non-stop.
Aiden Starr
*clenches fist*
Necklace
And what more, your precious girlfrie-
Aiden Starr
I ALREADY KNOW THAT!
Aiden Starr
So just please...
Aiden Starr
*looks at necklace*
Aiden Starr
(W, what happened?)
Aiden Starr
(Why do I...feel hazy?)
This feels exactly like back then...
Necklace
What do you really feel?
Aiden Starr
(What...I feel?)
Aiden Starr
Regret, confusion and...
Necklace
That's how all humans should be, honest.
Aiden Starr
Will...you grant my wish?
Necklace
Yes, whatever you want boy.
Aiden Starr
If I can have a chance to take it all back...
Aiden Starr
I'll gladly sell my soul to the devil.
Necklace
That's the attitude!
Aiden Starr
*picks up necklace and puts it on*
Necklace
Let us start over!
At this point of time, I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
Heck, it might've even tricked me!
The Past (1)
???
It's time for breakfast!
???
Get up, you're going to be late!
Aiden Starr
*rolls around the bed*
Aiden Starr
Just a few more minutes...
???
I've already called you three times!
Aiden Starr
Summer break is already over?
Aiden Starr
*opens the door and leaves bedroom*
Shane Starr, 39 years old.
Aiden Starr
I thought you we're in a business trip?
Shane Starr
Is your father not allowed to visit once in a while?
Aiden Starr
Of course not!
Aiden Starr
It's been a while!
Shane Starr
Sorry if I'm not able to have much time with you and mom.
Aiden Starr
It's okay dad!
Aiden Starr
After all, it's for us right?
Shane Starr
Of course it is.
Aiden Starr
Where's mom? didn't she wake me up?
Shane Starr
She's at the kitchen.
Aiden Starr
She's the one making breakfast today?
Shane Starr
Your father is here, of course she would!
Aiden Starr
Didn't you say...that mom's cooking would kill you?
Shane Starr
Well, it is bad...
Shane Starr
But she made it, I'm barely home these past few months, a bad dish made with love I can handle.
Aiden Starr
You're so cringey dad.
Shane Starr
Your dad hasn't been home for 4 months and that's what you tell me?
Shane Starr
*puts arms on Aiden's head*
Aiden Starr
Hey! I just got my hair done!
Shane Starr
Hair doesn't matter, looks are!
Aiden Starr
That's what you always say.
???
Hey! you two! breakfast is ready!
Shane Starr
Actually look good?!
Patricia Starr
*pinches ear*
Patricia Starr, 37 years old.
Patricia Starr
What's with that look?
Patricia Starr
Am I really that bad of a cook to screw up eggs and bacon?!
Shane Starr
N-no! of course not! babe is the best!
Patricia Starr
Aw, shucks, I'm not that good.
Aiden Starr
:Mom is easily convinced, huh?:
note: ( : ) means whispering.
Aiden Starr
Goodmorning Mom.
Patricia Starr
Eat up, you're going to be late!
Aiden Starr
Is this all mom?
Patricia Starr
What? are you asking for more?! I didn't raise you that way!
Aiden Starr
No! of course not mom!
Aiden Starr
I just asked if you made any other dishes.
Patricia Starr
Nope, this is all.
Patricia Starr
Now eat up!
Patricia Starr
It's 7:49 now! it's almost 8!
It's been a while, since we gathered like this.
I hope this would last a little longer...
Shane Starr
I gotta go now.
Shane Starr
See you in a few months!
Patricia Starr
See you honey!
Patricia Starr
It's time for school.
Patricia Starr
Should I drive you there?
Aiden Starr
No mom, I can walk.
This happiness may not last long, but I have another thing to look forward to.
Aiden Starr
(Charlotte Lane!)
The Past (2)
The school day went as how any nornal day would go.
I admit, I look like a creep, always staring at her.
But this time, this day, I'll confess.
I asked her out behind the school, not expecting much.
Charlotte Lane
*starts tearing up*
Aiden Starr
It's probably shameful that a loser like me asked you-
Charlotte Lane
I also like...
Charlotte Lane
No, I love you.
Charlotte Lane
Ever since I've first met you.
Charlotte Lane
I've been finding the chance to talk to you every single day.
Charlotte Lane
I never thought that this day would ever come!
Aiden Starr
I love you too.
Aiden Starr
Mom! I'm back!
Aiden Starr
You cannot believe what just happened-
Aiden Starr
Why're you in a suit?
Patricia Starr
Mommy is going on a date with Father~
Aiden Starr
Oooo~ that's rare.
Patricia Starr
Actually, it's more of meeting his co-workers since we'll be merging.
Patricia Starr
Yes! it's a rare opportunity.
Patricia Starr
So, what's this good news you have?
Patricia Starr
Don't tell me you got a girlfriend?
Aiden Starr
Hey! why're you so surprised? weren't you the one telling me to get a girlfriend?
Patricia Starr
Mommy's boy finally did it!
Patricia Starr
Tell me her name, what did you find good about her? why did she accept? is she beautiful? of course she is, what about her measurem-
Patricia Starr
Hehe, sorry baby.
Aiden Starr
Didn't you say you had an appointment?
Patricia Starr
I almost forgot!
Patricia Starr
*grabs bag*
Patricia Starr
See you later hun.
Patricia Starr
*kisses check*
Aiden Starr
I'll make you some dinner.
Patricia Starr
Yes please!
Patricia Starr
Also don't forget the beer!
Patricia Starr
*opens door and exits*
Aiden Starr
(Merging, huh?)
Aiden Starr
(Our family's company is finally getting recognized! I'll have to make an amazing supper for mom!)
I was excited, happy, and estatic.
I prepared a meal that is comparable to a 5-star restaurant! to me at least.
But the news that I would soon get-
-Would make my heart drop.
Aiden Starr
(The telephone?)
Aiden Starr
(Nobody used them in this day and age.)
Aiden Starr
Hello, this is the Starr residence, may I ask who this is?
Aiden Starr
*drops telephone*
The news that would change my entire life.
