Remember Everything (Open)

"You never know, Eli maybe you'll make some friends on your first day." His mother, Anne had told him on the last day he saw her for good, as soon as the school bus brought him home from the first day of sophomore year. Eli had walked into the house, set his stuff down and had noticed that there was a police file lying on the kitchen table, closed. Eli didn't want to be nosy and open it since his father was a cop. He became brave and opened up the yellow file, and he had dropped the file, papers and two pictures tumbling to the floor. "Ian! Come in here!" His younger brother, Ian came into the kitchen, laughing. "What's wrong? You scared of that mouse again?" Eli glared at his brother and pointed down at the file. "Why are you going through Dad's files?" Eli shook his head and watched his brother collapse to the kitchen floor, in shock. Their, laying on the kitchen floor, were two pictures. Anne and Richard Wyker. In a tragic car accident involving a deer.

Eli sat down on a park bench and looked around, their were plenty of people walking around, playing with their children, talking and laughing. It's been a year since his and Ian's parents died in their car accident, leaving seventeen year old Eli, to take care of his younger brother. He put his head down in his hands, it was bad enough that he was a junior in high school, he had to take care of a sixteen year old, and now he had bills to pay. How was he going to pay them without his parents inheritance? He'd surely have to find a job soon, but there was nothing open that he liked. Eli looked up to see someone walking towards him. He straightened up and watched the person walk closer to him.
