Story Idea

This story I had written previously but never used. I felt the story had everything in it from, love to aggression, from drink to drugs and from life to death. The story not based on anything inparticular stages a dramatic time/experience that many human beings experience. Where a close and loved relative goes of the rails leaving an impact on every soul behind him....

Goody Two Shoes

Goody Two Shoes is brought up in a strong household with the support of his mother, who in time falls really ill. This does not stop him from doing exactly as he set out to in life. As well as caring for his mother and doing all the general household chores, Goody Two Shoes is dedicated to his career and all aspects of that category. From 9am until 4pm Goody Two Shoes spends his time at school and in the local library and from here on after his time is committed to caring for his mother or further school study.

With him being one of the top pupils at school, receiving award after award and impressing all his teachers, Emiy (his future girlfirend) becomes very admiring towards Goody. Not long after the two of them are introduced, the two of them begin to date and simply can't believe they never met each other sooner. Both pupils share the same interests in life and spend most of their time together. Goody Two Shoes is invited to Emily's home to share dinner and becomes familiar with all her family members including her step brother, Craig.

Craig is Emily's father's son and is the only person in her family who seems to have a problem. He was continuously suspended from achool until the point he decided not to return. He thrives on car racing, large crowds, drinking and using drugs more often than a normal person. For some reason Goody believes he is a good catch and if he could prove to Emily that Craig and himself bond pretty well this would work out as a bonus on his behalf. Therefore, Goody creates a friendship or rather interest in Craig.

Goody begins to be invited out and about eith Craig jusy yo do the usual boy things, such as playing football or in Craigs case fixing cars and in time Goody Two Shoes becomes very involved and volunteers to accompany Craig to many more excursions. Not long after meeting Craig, Goody is introduced to several of Craig's closer friends, or gang mates as he would call them. They invite Goody out to join them for a drink on the streets which obviously involves trouble of some sort.

The end of school year report is delivered to Goody's mother who displays that he has been slacking off at school. When confronted he violently reacts and runs away from home. He spends the rest of the week at a friend of Craig's taking a lot of drugs and drinking his hard earned pennies away. With school beginning to flop and Goody thinking it was a waste of time in the beginning, he sets himself a new resolution and that is to 'enjoy life to the max.'

With Goody's frame of mind changing and less visits being made to his first love, Emily becomes worried and calls to speak. He rudely embarresses her in front of his new friends and ends the call. Goody finds himself in masses amounts od debts due to his life style. Suffering from deep depression Goody takes life to a new level and experiments with new drugs - heroin to be precise. Goody becomes an addict and his aspects in life come to a complete end.

Due to previous down-grading towards her, Emily end the relationship. Although, Emily weeps to sleep every night and Goody lies in a corner to drugged up to care, she eventually gets over him and her life is on track again. Unfortunately for Goody his life only came to an end when he became involved with drink and drugs.

Noticing what Goodyis now dabbling with, Craig immeditately informs Emily who is obvioulsy devastated for him, but seeing as shes moved on she simply shrugs it of after a few moments of sympathetic thought. Shortly afterwars, Goody's mum dies after a massive heart attack, which leave him believing there is now nought to live for.

A few weeks down the line Emily rekindles her romance for Goody as she discovers a budle of pictures of both of sharing good times, emotions come flying back. As she is on her way to inform him that she still loves him, Goody purchases a bigger quantity of his addicted drug and brings his life to an end.

Unfortuantely for Emily, she is again left to pick up the pieces as she finds his lifeless body.
