When Will You Be Mine?, chapter 1
Mark Drake stared out the window. He was fifteen years old living in Bath, England.
It was times like these where he missed his friends back home in America, but he knew being here was for the best. He shook the memory of his life in the states.
Forget it he thought the past is the past. If only it was that easy..

"Get up!" Mark looked at his clock. 7:30am he actually got to sleep in today. He pulled himself out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Staring in the mirror he examined the new bruises on his face. "That stupid ass", thought Mark as he spit out the toothpaste into the sink and wiped his mouth. "Good morning Mark!'his mother said cheerfully. She could not bring herself to look at his face.
She hadn't looked into his eyes in years,not since she started dating that boyfriend 3 years earlier. Things were not so bad at first. It started with just yelling then it turned physical even sexual. His friends always wanted him to run and get out of there but he couldn't. He couldn't risk leaving his little brother in danger. Even though he knew in his heart that his brother would be ok.
His mom's boyfriend liked his brother and that always hurt him to watch them outside playing football or hanging out while he did house work. Mark had a dad once. Mark was born in England. His father was a musician and his mother worked at a restraunt. That is where his mother met another man and became pregnant. Mark was 3 years old. His once loving,but poor family had fallen apart when his father left. Mark thought back as hard as he could but could not remember his dad.
He knew his dad loved him but was so hurt when his mom got pregnant that he couldn't handle it and just up and left. The man who got his mother pregnant left her on her seventh month pregnant. His mother broke, pregnant, and had a 3 year old kid hopped on a plane and moved to the states. They lived with her sister and her husband ,and grandmother.
His mother who was heartbroken and vonurable jumped at the chance to move in with any man who looked at her. She dated some cool guys but none of the relationships lasted. then she met David and they stayed together. Flash forward to today.Better get to school.he thought. Time to think up of some excuses for the new bruises...
