Secrets

When I was little, I didn’t think there was a reason to keep secrets. I never thought of the effect in telling someone’s secrets. However, one day one of my friends and I were hanging out after school and he decided to tell me something very personal. He said to never tell anyone. Of course, I didn’t think it was a big deal and started telling people.

When Bob and I got off the bus that day, I thought it was going to be like every other day. I didn’t know that it was going to be our last day as friends. We went to his house and started doing homework, like normal. I wasn’t the smartest, so Bob usually ended up helping me on most of my work.Then, he stopped in the middle of a problem and said there was something he needed to tell me. I kind of just laughed. I thought he was just joking.

When Bob told me he was going to be a father, I didn’t believe him. Then as we sat there in his room with our laptops, I looked into his eyes and realized what he was saying was true. I didn’t know how to reply. We sat in that room for what felt like forever. Finally, I managed to tell him I wouldn’t tell anyone. With my head spinning, I went home.

When I came into school the next morning, I told myself I was not going to tell anyone Bob’s secret story. I was at my locker when my friend Fred came up and started talking to me. He asked me why Bob had been acting so strange. I just couldn’t hold it in. I let lose and told Fred the whole story and at the end said, “But don’t tell anyone.” Thats’s how the rest of the day went, pretty much telling the secret to anyone who asked. At the end of the day, I realized a girl named Jen was glaring at me. Bob hadn’t told me who the girl from the secret was.

I didn’t know, getting off the bus that day, that it was going to be different than every other day. I didn’t know that Bob and I would take a separate path. I also didn’t think about how important keeping someone’s secret is. I used to be bad at keeping

    It was a hot afternoon and i was setting by the river thinking when i saw my boy sam running towards me like his behind was on fire. His face looked frightened, so much like his father’s. He said that Mr. Finch and Cal just drove into our yard in those fancy automobiles that costs way too much. My heart started beating so fast but i still had hope. He could be here because they realized Tom was innocent and he was finally coming home to us. When i got to my home, I saw my children playing a game with their marbles. I saw Mr. Finch standing there with a look of sorrow on his face. He looked at me with regret. He didn't have to say anything because i just knew, I just knew he was gone. My knees gave out all of a sudden, I collapsed to the dirt. I wished that the ground would swallow me up. I was not strong for this, i'm still not. I held back my screams that will break out any minute. I have to put a straight face for my kids, i’m all they have now.…

    It was a Wednesday on the final week of senior year and the only thing happening in my classes was the exchanging of yearbooks. I had already gotten signatures from all of my closest friends, except one who hadn’t been at school the past two days; his name was Frank Gerrity. He was a childhood friend who was always known for being a trouble maker, so it wasn’t unusual for him to ditch. After not having seen him in any of the classes we had together, I decided to pay him a visit after school, since he didn’t live very far. As I was approaching his house, I noticed a police car parked outside with someone sitting in the back. It was Frank and he had just been arrested for taking a joyride in a stolen car with some guys who were “cool,” very much like the characters in Gwendolyn Brook’s poem, “We Real…

    I let out a blood-curdling scream, it felt as if it was a terrible nightmare, as if I would wake up and it would all be gone. Jayden would be lying down next to me, we would be in our warm beds looking at each other, but this wasn’t a nightmare, just identical to one. From that moment on I knew that the hardest part of this all was to continue living everyday. My worst fear, my worst nightmare, my worst horror had become a reality. A reality I wasn’t ready to continue with; a reality I would never be able to continue with. The emotions associated with losing a child are beyond inexpressible. My most cherished love had been taken away from me, and I would never be able to get him back…

    I tried to get actual words out but all could come out was, “Mmm… Amm.” “Sydney.” I nodded, feeling like a stupid dizzy bobble head. “You were in a car accident, and also you are in the hospital right now.” Dad told me. “This is probably going to be hard on you but…” He stopped, and I thought I heard him crying. “Your… Mom… Is…” He stopped again then he started, “ Dead.” My whole world collapsed with that word. I was gone without my mom. I curled up into a ball of sadness, never coming…

    At that moment I felt so embarrassed, the most I felt in my entire life. I quickly pulled my pants back up all red from embarrassment. Old pimply Ackley stood by me giggling and old Ernest laughing until he fell down onto the floor and his stomach filled with pain. Luckily for me there wasn’t a lot of people at the park that day. There were only two girls who were laying on the grass and they didn’t seem to notice me. Everyone else that day were all at some football game and only old Ackley, Ernest, me, and some other people who never go to football games or spend our time studying were left behind. Old Ernest was never at any football games since no one like him there so they would sit far away from him as possible. I once asked him why and he said that football was a boring sport and all the players were losers. Still beside me was old Ernest laughing like it was the funniest thing he ever seen in his entire life. I was so sick of him laughing at me that I wanted to punch him right in the face, but I decided not to since he’s like twice my size and it wouldn’t end very well for me. From then on every time old Ernest would see me, he would remind me of the day he pulled my pants down and I would always…

    People sometimes feel that the best way to protect someone is to not tell the truth nor show the thing(s) that may or may not hurt them emotionally. People believe that if you tell other people what they want to hear that everything will be ok and they will not overreact or act out of line. At times things are kept from people to protect others or protect the environment in which you are in at the time. In Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, this happens a lot.…

    Not realizing that only half of the school day had passed, I sat in the school parking lot for two hours.

    As I stood there with my stomach in knots, not knowing what’s going to happen next, my wife laid screaming on the hospital bed. The sound of her heartbeat monitor beeping in the background and wires attached to her chest. “You can do this“, I told her. “Now push!” I grabbed her hand. She squeezed it until the tips of my fingers turned purple. The nurse was counting down 10, 9, 8. “Alright we need one more big push”, the doctor explained. I leaned over and…
