Last Chapter(s):
	Noah: In the past Ryan, Noah's deceased brother, did the only thing
he thought he could to escape from his reality. When an 11-year-old Noah
found out, his face went as white as a ghost.
	Abel: Upon bringing Jason home Jude, Abel's older brother, called
him "eccentric." Abel would tell you that's an understatement. What did
Jude mean by "eccentric" though?
	Greyson: A sudden loss of his independence haunts over Greyson's
shoulder. Having someone with him at all times, though silent, still
bothers our blind teen.
	Carter: After being kicked out of his home Carter spent some nights
on the street. Then after being picked up by his Aunt, Carter's stepfather
comes and barges into their home. Ending up at Tre's house, he ran away
again. Now he's moved with Tre to a new town away from all his issues.
	Aidyn: College has gotten to Aidyn. He's spent much of his time in
class or on Skype with Noah. Now he's starting to get out and live that
college life.


MLSAHS – Chapter 15 – Important Decisions – For Evigt
Noah Years Ago

	Through his tears, Noah's father choked out, "Ryan's dead bud."
Noah's face went snow white. His breath began to become heavier as the
realization set in. He looked from face to face around him; all held
sympathy but nothing to sooth the boy.
	"No, no you're wrong!" Noah told his father. He shook his head, and
in turns his whole body. Noah ran downstairs towards Ryan's room. "RYAN!?
RYAN!?" He called out for his brother, who was no longer in the home.

	Noah went from room to room taking glances before moving onto the
next. Ever room he looked into there was nothing. Where ever Noah looked
there was nothing, no one. When he finally made it to Ryan's room he
stopped for just a moment.

	He saw a cut rope hanging from the ceiling fan. Dried blood was on
his side table and below the rope. Noah dropped to his knees, eyes wide
open, and he screamed. His mother, who had followed him, wrapped her arms
around her son to comfort him.


	In the weeks to come there would be a funeral held for the
boy. Noah stayed home from school every day; with a tutor at home they
tried to continue his studies. The young boy would space out and not follow
the work in front of him.

	The news came quickly to the Wesley household of Mr. Wesley's need
in the army. Being sent out to Afghanistan only weeks after his son's
death. He tried to say he couldn't go for obvious reasons. The Army's reply
was that it was an order. So he went off to war.

	Noah finally went back to school, but only for a day. Knew of Ryan
spread like wildfire around the school. Kids started to say things to Noah
about his older brother. "He's a faggot."

	"My brother told me he sucked his dick!"

	"You're the brother of a class A slut."

	"He probably got herpes or some other STD. Would have died
anyways." That was the one that set Noah over the edge. The boy who said it
was sent to the hospital for several bruises and a fractured bone. Noah was
pulled out of school that day.
	With the help of tutors, Noah stayed on track with his schooling as
time went by. He actually got a fair bit ahead of where he should have
been. His learning was the highlight of his mother's days.

	That is until a second death in the family happened. A few days
after the news shared that a few soldiers had died in Afghanistan, a man in
uniform came to their front door. When he gave Mrs. Wesley the news, he was
slapped hard across the face. He did not blame the woman, only apologized
for her loss and handed her a business card. "Your husband ashes will be
here in a few days."

	"Get out of here!" She screamed to the messenger.

	Still, morning from the loss of his brother, Noah's response was
lacking. Emotionless, Noah said nothing and hugged his mother. He didn't
know how to feel, what to feel. His studies stopped and most of Noah's days
were spent lying in bed doing nothing.

	Noah started to see a psychiatrist with his mother. His mother was
much more willing to speak, Noah mostly sat there and answered with small
answers, "Yes," "No," "Okay," all very short answers.

	Mrs. Wesley was prescribed Anti-depressants by the doctor. At home
she drank and drank, trying hard to take away the pain of her losses. When
Noah finished with his studies, he found a drunken mother. When he woke up
in the morning, she was hung over.

	Then one day... Mrs. Welsey was found with an empty bottle of
pills. Noah Wesley was now the only member of his household alive... and
barely 12.


Abel's POV
	I was just coming home from school when Jude gave me this look. It
was this look of 'we need to talk about something important.' Something
that our parents can't know about, so I just assumed that it was something
about Jason.

	Then he came out of nowhere and said, "Jason acts sorta gay,
doesn't he?" I stood there looking at him blankly. "Abel, why the awkward
silence?"

	"I've never noticed, I mostly ignore him." I tried to leave giving
him the most awkward smile there could ever be. "See ya."

	Jude moved quickly and grabbed my arm. "What aren't you telling me,
Abel?" I tried to get out of his grip, but he was a billion times stronger
than me. I was stuck. "Abel..."

	I turned to him and spoke quicker than I intended. "Jason isn't
even a friend." I took a breath and continued. "He pestered me into
bringing him over. I don't like him at all, really." Again pulling away,
Jude tightened his grip. I smacked his arm as hard as I could.

	"Dude, chill. I just want to know what's going on with my little
brother." He stared at me intensely; he wanted me to say something. "What's
going on Abel?"

	I pulled my arm away a third time, and it was finally let
free. "Nothing!" It was clear, even to me I was not the least bit
convincing. Jude went back to his original look. "This stays between you
and me."

	"I can't promise that I can promise that I will do my best to look
out for your best well being. You're my little brother after all." He sat
down on his truck and crossed his arms.

	"It's nothing bad, nothing you'll HAVE to tell anyone." If Jude is
going to know I like boys, I have to get his word. "Please promise me,
Jude." On the brink of tears, I begged my brother.

	Jude let out a huge sigh. "Fine. I won't tell anyone. That it is
contingent on it being nothing serious. Now let it out."

	I clenched both my fists, tensed up tight and just let it go all at
once. "I'm attracted to boys." Pretty sure Jude could barely hear me. It's
hard to tell family, especially a Catholic family in this day in age. A
good portion of them hate gays, and what seems like the smaller portion
accepts them.

	Jude... in the midst of this chaos was someone I had no idea what
his reaction would be. He seemed fine with it from what I saw. My eyes were
pointed towards the gravel floor, just barely having him in sight. He got
up and walked right by me.

	When I turned to him, he was grabbing the basketball. "Wanna work
on some shots?"

	I stared at him confused. "That's all you have to say?"

	Jude just shrugged. "I love you; you're my little bro. Nothing will
ever change that; I don't need to be gay to support them having equal
rights. I would like to think that one day if my kid ever has to tell me
what you just told me, that it would be like nothing."

	I couldn't help but run up and hug my big brother ever so
tightly. "Thanks, Jude. I'm bi, not gay, though."

	He gave me a few pats on the back and ruffled my hair. "You're 14
that can change. As of right now, you know you like boys. I'll forever be
on your side and intimidate anyone you date." I look up at him, snearing my
face at him. "Look like that for too long, and your face will stay like
that."

	"Screw you too." Jude rolled his eyes before we ended up going
inside. True to his word, when we talked to mom, he said nothing. I've got
my big bro in my corner for when mom and dad finally find out. So that's
always good to have.


Greyson's POV
	I've had a shadow at school for almost a week now. It's honestly
the most annoying thing in the world. Knowing that I have someone following
me if I'm going to the bathroom or something, it's so dumb.

	Like last class, I had to use the bathroom.  When I left, I could
hear the footsteps behind me. Sure there were footsteps occasionally
before, but these were purposely following me. Why can't I just be left to
be on my own?

	When I got home after my parent's executive decision dad tried to
sweet talk me into accepting it, but that didn't work either. "We're just
worried for ya, buddy. We want to find the guy who did it in the first
place. Unfortunately, you have to take a step back for a bit."

	"A step back!? No, I have to take a million steps back." I replied
to him furiously. "Now when we go out, if I use the bathroom mom is going
to want you to come with me. If we're shopping, I can't get dropped in a
section or you guys will be worried something will happen. It's not a
single step back, it feels like a million!" I was sure mom could hear me
when I said it too. I wanted her to hear me.

	Dad had let out a sigh and sat on my bed. "Greyson, I know it's
hard being a teenager. Even harder for you since you lack your sight. I
wish I could tell you that I'm not concerned about you and what happened. I
want you to be safe, but since we have no knowledge of who it was this is
the safest bet."

	I sat on my floor with a loud thud. It kinda hurt my butt, but
there was no way I was going to show dad that. "I know, I
understand. Still, don't like it."

	"I'm sorry buddy, but that's what's been decided." He got up and
started to walk off. "See you at dinner." I didn't reply to him.

	So here I am, in class having someone always looking over my
shoulder. The moment that bell went off I was out of that class and into
the chaos that was the hallways. With that T.A. left behind in my dust. I
went straight to Sky's class.

	"Whoa Greyson." Sky stopped me in the hall. "What's the hurry?"

	"I wanted to get to you." I could feel my face heat up. "Didn't
think it would bug the hell out of me having someone follow me around."

	Sky gave off an awkward laugh. "Ya, I would never know how that
felt, but I sympathize with you. What can I do to get it off your mind?"

	"Bring me to lunch!" Linking our fingers together we head off
towards the lunch room. After we had started eating, I began to bitch about
my 'shadow' in all my classes. "Can the dude just tell me who he was?"

	"I don't think you want that." Our friend Markus spoke as he
swallowed the food in his mouth. I looked over at him raising an
eyebrow. "Well if you find out who it is, Sky is probably going to punch
them... a lot."

	In the middle of a mouth full Sky spoke up. "Oh hell ya!"

	"Finish your bite before you speak!" I smacked him kinda low on his
chest, almost winding him. "Oh, sorry." He choked his food down.

	"Anyways, eventually one of two things will happen." Marcus
continued. "Either the guy will get revealed, or the worry from the
principle and your parents will deteriorate, and things will get back to
normal."

	"Whichever one happens first will make me happy!" I finished the
food that mom had prepared for me. "I'm sure I'll get used to the whole
someone looking over my shoulder thing, but right now it's really bugging
me."

	"I've got you." Sky gave me a huge hug. Only two more years of mom
babying me and I'll be able to go out on my own. No more babying, just me
and my independence.


Carter's POV
	"How's your room coming?" Tre asks me as I come out of the
shower. "Getting unpacked I hope." He put out a plate of pancakes on the
counter for me.

	"Thanks and ya, it's getting there." I grabbed the plate and just
stared at it. I was too nervous to eat any of it. It was the day Tre, and I
are going to the school so I can start getting back into school. I know I'm
like... who knows how far behind but I have to catch up sometime.

	Tre got another pancake onto a plate before turned to me. "Nervous?
I would be. Hell, I start work tomorrow." I just smiled and took a small
bite. "There isn't anything here that should bring up anything; you'll be
fine. I'll be there every step."

	"I know." Doesn't change how my nerves are at the moment. I slowly
started to eat all my food and somehow finishing before heading off to the
school.

	Tre had everything he'd need, even custody papers. They had this
lack of belief on their face when they saw a 23-year-old with custody of a
15-year-old. I think it came from us not being related more than him
actually having it.

	"May I take a walk?" I asked as they were just finishing up the
paperwork. "I just want to take a look around the school?"

	The Principle smiled and nodded. "Yes go ahead; just don't
interrupt any of the classes." I headed off down the many halls of the
school. It was a pretty nice walk around the school. A little smaller than
my old school but a little friendlier.

	Reaching a dead end, I turned around to a kid staring at me from
down the hallway; I took me a few seconds to get a good look at the guy. I
think we both realized it at the same time. "CARTER!!" Cairo screamed and
booked it down the hallway.

	Wrapping his arms around me, he started to cry. His grip was so
tight that it felt like he would never let go. I loosely placed my arms
around him, holding back tears of my own. "Hey, Cairo..."

	"I found you. Nathan was looking, but I found you!" He spoke
through his sobs. What happened with Cairo? Why is he here and not with mom
or even Nathan's mom? I'll find out soon I guess.


Aidyn's POV
	"You sure you're fine with me getting hammered tonight?" I asked
Noah for the millionth time.

	He laughed. "YES! Just get your butt here tomorrow. Now go have
college fun, and I'll see you tomorrow."

	"I love you, Noah."

	"Love you too Aidyn." I blew him a kiss and ended the Skype call.

	Bryce was impatiently waiting at the door. "Come on dude; I wanna
get shattered! We missed the last big party; we have to do good this time."

	I turned to Nathan, and before I could say a word, he waved me
off. "Get out of here and leave the nerd to his computer. Enjoy
yourselves." Time for the party of the century! Sure there may be better
ones, but this was my first college party. Things are about to get wild!

Chapter End.
	#SorryNotSorry about the Tiny Aidyn POV at the end. I wanted to set
up something for next chapter.
	BUT ANYWAYS, So if you hadn't read MLSEW, you now know what
happened with Noah's family. I had considered doing a My Life Started: The
Wesley's Story that would go into MUCH greater detail on Noah's upbringing
but ultimately decided it wouldn't be a right fit at the moment. If you
want it, though, please tell me how stupid I am.

	Abel told his brother!? What will happen now in the Yeager
household?

	Greyson hates that his independence has been cut off. How will this
affect Sky and his relationship?

	Carter and Cairo are finally reunited, but what did happen to Cairo
after Carter left?

	AND LASTLY, What is Aidyn going to get up to at this party?

	I Kuragari129 now declare the opening acts of MLSAHS over. All
that's left is for everyone to be matched up with someone! But who is
everyone? Aidyn and Noah are together, and Sky and Grey are not going
anywhere, but not all characters are gay/bi. So who will be matched up?


	Lastly, I have a project in the works that I would like to be beta
read. So you get to read the first couple chapters (unedited) and tell me
what you think and how it could improve. If you would like to do this, send
me an email. My email can be found below.

	Thanks for reading.
