Find out what happens to Jaxson. Does he ever get found? What will happen to Lawrence’s basketball career? Find out in the short story, Growing Up. This story is a continuation of a story called The Backstreet. It is necessary to read The Backstreet before you read Growing up, so you can understand important contextual details.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!
I think back to the times we had
Finding the source of what makes me sad.
I remember bits and pieces of us:
Memories I can’t completely trust.
I feel this pain cut so deep:
Haunting memories that won’t let me sleep.
I forget some things, but I remember most.
I still remember… that’s why I coast.
I can’t seem to break this thought
And what we had can’t be taught.
Your shadow casts as this pain lasts.
I run away to only see you;
I can’t escape no matter what I do.
I keep on running until I’m free
knowing these thoughts will never leave.
