BLUE MOON - Chapter 2, Excerpt 1

Growing up in Tulsa had been a real trip for Alex. He was so different from his classmates and often was taunted for these differences. He never really fit in at school and was often considered an outcast. His father left when he was a child; he didn’t have many memories of him. His mother did the best she could for him but was always a bit distant. She was a decent mother who always made sure he had what he needed, but she was just distant most of the time. His father leaving really took a toll on her that she never quite recovered from. His last memory of his father was of him yelling at his mother but it was hard to remember about what. Sometimes memories come to him and it seems as if he was yelling at her about Alex and about how he wasn’t going to stand by and watch this happen to his son…but the memory would pass and he would wonder if it was even real. And what would he have been talking about anyway, “watch this happen to his son?”
