I really think my short story will turn out well, I'll start right into action, my character is going to be exposed by his friends and in front of his friends. His friends see that he has unusual wounds that can't be caused by regular sports. The rising action will feature his friends following him after school, and they see him go to a construction working job that they've never heard of, then he drops his perfect car off in a field and rides a bike to his house, which is in a whole different place than where he says it's been. He goes inside and runs to his room, works on hw for the next three hours, until midnight, when his dad wakes up. His dad starts drinking and slams the bottle down on the ground, and eventually ends up in the hospital. The climax, his friends find out about what my character has lived like for the past three years since his mom passed, and they take action. Falling action, the friends cut my main character off as he drops his car off in the field, and when he refuses to go with them back to their houses, they "leave," and actually follow him. This time his dad is awake, and delirious from the medicine doctors gave him, and he hurts my main character, knocks out his own son. The friends take action, subduing the dad and rushing my main character to the hospital... where the resolution will take place, but I don't want to spoil it so that's all on the plot.
I haven't decided on any names yet, but the main character is supposed to be this guy with a "perfect life. " But truly he has the most problems of all, and as his friends find this out, they find the more deep personality rather than the light hearted personality everybody sees at school. It will be written in the perspective of the main character's best friend, and the best friend will stick with the main character the whole time he suffers through this story.
