    "I thought the new pills would've done the trick, but still no emotional  improvement" The doctor said in sad tone followed up by a      defeated sigh.

Doctor what options do we have left?! Asked the concerned mother.

" Truthfully not many, therapy is out of the list. Seeing how he gets extremely violent when talking about it." He gave a glance over to the teenage boy.

"If he has any more problems with the police he'll get thrown in juvy, I can't let that happen to my baby!"

The doctor reached for his clip board, checked off the adolescent's  regular symptoms, pulled out a new bottle of anti-depressants and gave it to the distressed mother.

"Well Mrs. Goodman all I can say is the usual advice to you, try to give him his pills. Keep knives and sharp objects away from him. Don't let him go outside and let him watch his show. God knows that's the only time he isn't going of the walls."

Cody in turn from hearing the "usual" gave a disgruntled grunt to the doctor and gave him, one of his famous "I'm going to kill you" stares.

     The doctor was always unnerved when Cody shot him that sort of glance. But acted professionally by masking his fear and checking out his patient.

During the drive home Cody's mother tried to start conversation by her son, but before she could mouth ." How have you been?" Cody quickly replied leave "me alone". To avoid any and all chance of starting a conversation with his mother. He decided to fall asleep. The the ride from the doctor was only 30 minutes, but to Cody's mother it seemed like an eternity. She was trying to remember what happened to her ray of sunshine. When did it ever have time to turn into this beast.

( honk honk)

"Hurry up lady I want to go home!"

Her thoughts were quickly dispersed by shouts of other drivers behind her.

"Looks like I was lost in thought again."

     Finally after making her way home she turned to her son, and gently shook him. Cody was too tired to shout or complaint, he limply got out of the car, like a pirate kept his head down as if he was preparing to face the gallos. His mother followed him towards their two story house. Once inside she made sure the car was locked with the click of her keys. Then she told him to go to bed, she was going to do the same.  It was only the middle of the day, but for her it could've been midnight. She was already tired from her shift in the office, her fingers numb from all the typing, her eyes sore from staring at a computer all day. She slowly climbed the stairs, and cracked a weak smile. She thought about sleeping and dreaming about he her life use to be.

     Stupid doctor, stupid mom, stupid kids everything is so stupid!

I can't ignore my pain and sorrow anymore, I look into the mirror in my room. All I see is a sad shell of a once strong and respected athlete. I grimace when remembering being full of laughter, my friends used to call me the party animal. Now I just look like an animal. I don't shave, I don't laugh, I don't run, I don't date. I just mope around and snap when someone brings up the accident.

November the 6th, that date will forever be in graved in my mind.

                              Flash back

     Me, my friends and my Dad were driving back from the tournament. Fletcher was chanting my name " Cody the cyclone! ".

It was a nickname I earned for my wickedly fast time I got for the 800 meter dash, finishing it in a minute and 55 seconds.

Alex, Corey and Andrew where in the back seats with Fletcher, enjoying the victory meal provided by my Dad. He always knew I loved  McDonald's, especially after a race. I held the trophy in my hands, feelings it cool metallic smoothness with my fingers. I was so excited, I had everything. My dad smiling, my friends laughing and smiling and me cracking a wide smile. Then I caught a sight of truck heading towards the van. All I could think of was to throw the trophy under my seat and brace for impact. I yelled at my Dad to turn, he caught sight of the truck. With fear stunning him, my friends screaming. I held the wheel and turned it away as much as I could, only to hit another car in the process. The van did a double flip, the air was full if screams, broken metal filming across the floor of the road. I remember looking around the van, my Dad's lifeless body covered in blood. My friends bodies all clumped up and without a single breathe escaping their lips, Fletcher was the only one still alive beside me. But I soon noticed he wouldn't be for long. He sat behind me, and the trophy had stabbed its way in to his chest. I was crying telling him "It's going to be okay, just hold on." The last thing he said to me was "take care yourself Cody". After a bloody cough he went limp. I called 911, minutes after calling, the paramedics came.                   They checked both vehicles everybody was . . . dead except for me. No that day I died, once I woke up in the hospital, mom was crying next to me. The doctor looked at me with sorrowful eyes. "None of the passengers made out except you". Those words burned more than the countless injuries that covered my body. He continued " You are lucky to be alive ,two broken ribs some head trama and a broken leg. You will be hospitalized for awhile, try to get some rest." .  .  .That's why I am how I am.

     I just love checking up on twilight when she's doing her science thingys, I also love cupcakes I should bake some, I wonder how science muffins would taste? Twilight says that science is fun, there are way too many numbers! I never liked numbers I only like counting cupcakes and smiles! Oh there is twilight! I'm going to surprise her.

Hey Twighlight whatcha doing?

(Twilight fell on her hunches from Pinkie's sudden burst)

Ha she totally didn't see me coming, I surprised the frosting out of her.

"Ugh pinkie do you all ways have to surprise the muffins out of me. If you must know I'm making a spell that will help me help ponies in distress. It's an advance version my teleporting spell. "

I was like how do you know if a pony is distressed? She said something about vibes through magic gripping the emotions of the helpless. She also said it was basically a teleportation spell and emotion spell put together. She asked me if I wanted to help her, so of course I said yeaaah! Then she asked me to bring a cupcake, I pulled one out of my mane. I always keep one incase I need to pinkie promise. She she teleported it to a hungry pony, then it appeared right next to me. And I ate it, Twilight looked at me confused, I told her I was pretty hungry before I got here. She faced hoofed.

      Tomorrow is November the 6th, it's 11:20pm I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the memorial service for my friends and dad. I can't face the parents of my friends or my grandparents. During their funerals I avoided them all, now I'm a complete mess. How can I face them, I can't just say " Hello I'm the pice of shit the survived the car accident, and your awesome son didn't". I wish I would just drop dead, but it's been almost a year since that happened. Hehe I wish I was like pinkie pie, always smiling. I know she isn't the most popular character, but to me she reminds me of better days. Well I should probably attempt to get some sleep, ha maybe if pray it'll help.

    So today twilight wanted to test long range use of her spell, she gave me a safety suit. It looks like what Fluttershy wore when we all had to take care of that big dragon. I added some balloons, I convinced Twilight to let me add them on by saying " If a sad pony sees a fun helper their morale will go up". She tried to argue, but I had the last laugh, ha laugh.

"Pinkie are you ready" Twilight shouted from on top hill

" Yupeeronni" I  replied far from the safety zone.

Twilight shouted again,"Now remember if you get sent to far, you have a magical reverse teleportation spell in your saddle bags. With some magic quills and some of spike's magic flame bottled up. So if you need to communicate with me don't hesitate, this is an experimental spell so safety is very important pinkie."

Twilight finished wheezing she was really loud, but I guess she's just nervous, and not nevousited.

" Sheesh twilight don't worry. Everything will be fine, don't be a worry wort." I told her wearing a big old grin. I was a little nervous too, but I know how much this spell meant to her. An alicorn's first spell is her most famous spell. I wouldn't let my friend down or her legacy.

" I'm ready twilight hit me." I shouted

" Remember be careful pinkie."

Twilight horn is really getting bright, I don't  think it was even this bright when she used it against the Ursa Minor.

"Wee!!"

   The funeral starts at 4pm I got 2 hours before it starts, my mom told me to get dressed. But I've been wearing my suit ever since the morning, some girls blushed when they saw me. But I don't care, my true love broke my heart long ago. I just stare at my desk, in school. Hoping for some sweet relief of all my guilt. Class ended boring as usual. I think it was biology, I can't remember I space out a lot. I hate my teachers they yell at me, and look at me with disappointed faces. Like I care about being on top anymore, what's worth victory when you have nobody to celebrate it with.

    I take the bus home put on my hoodie and just stare out the bus window. I arrive home, mom's still working so I'm alone again. Guess that leaves me waiting for a Father, that will never show up.

"That was craaaazzy!" A voice echoed from the kitchen.
