Story: Better be alone than in a bad company

in #story7 years ago

Character always has an impact on a person. A person is always judged by the company he keeps.

As everyone was excited and eagerly waiting for the college to begin, Andrew too waited eagerly for his college with a lot of dreams and imaginations in his mind.

The very first day Andrew's dreams were shattered, no one spoke to him in the college. He felt all alone and lonely.
Andrew was in a shock thinking about what could be the reason that nobody in the whole college spoke to him. Of course, Andrew was sad and disheartened.

He was the only son of his parents. His dad was killed in a car crash and his mother Ally worked the whole day in a restaurant to fulfill the needs of her son.

Many days passed by and nobody still spoke to Andrew and he returned home sad. Finally, one day Andrew came to know that his father Mr.Mark, a Branch Manager was behind bars for seven years for cheating, some even said that Mark had killed himself due to depression. But this still remains a mystery.

Bad luck followed Andrew and his mother in this new place also. Andrew was always depressed and seen sitting alone in college campus or in the canteen or at times even in the park the whole day. Ally tried out helping her son by speaking to him but in vain. As days passed, Andrew now was completely shattered. He had so many dreams to pursue and make his mom happy, but all had now broken to pieces. Unfortunately, Andrew met the gang of 'Pythons' as they were called.

Yes, this python gang held such shattered youth and pushed them towards the dark life of drugs. Andrew too fell their prey and started taking drugs.He found good friends in them and could easily forget the harsh reality when under the influence of drugs.

He was just 18, but his life was already in trouble. One day, Andrew reached the restaurant where his mother worked. Ally was shocked and in tears when she saw her only son spoiling his life by consuming drugs.

The next morning after the church, Andrew prepared to leave for college, his mother stopped him and tried to convince him not to spoil his life and be a normal gentleman, not to be a coward who runs away rather face the problem. Andrew paid no heed to what his mom said and left home hurriedly. Ally being a mom, followed him. To her surprise, Andrew visited some club instead of college. Ally now had no other option to call the cops to arrest the Python gang and save her son's life. On seeing the cops, all boys n girls ran here and there to save them from being caught. Andrew too ran out in speed but dashed a speedy bus and was crushed to death....

Ally fell unconscious on the street shocked seeing her only son in the pool of blood all over...................
