MAXINEHAWKE RIDE*

“Is this thing working? I hope it is. First off, congratulations on finding this video blog, it just might be the last one I ever do. I can’t have them finding me.

“Let’s start off simple. I’m Max. I just turned fifteen. This is my story. The fact that you’re even listening, hell watching this is astounding. But as cliché as it sounds, my story NEEDS to be told. No details left out, only some names.

“I was born on March third to a guy named Jeb, and a woman named Valencia Martinez. I have a half sister, but she lives with my mom. I lived with Jeb for part of my life. Key word: Part. Living with Jeb wasn’t fun at all. See, Jeb’s a doctor. One of those doctors who’s always trying to find the cure to stuff. Guess who got to be the lab rat? It sucked, horribly. He’d apologize afterwards, but in the end it wasn’t worth it. I have a half-brother, Jeb’s son, oh god, Ari… I don’t know what’s happened to him now, but Ari, if you’re out there, I’m terribly, terribly sorry.

“After a while, it seemed the only option left was to run away. So I did. I was twelve. I spent two years roaming around. I spent a lot of time in Colorado, and got a tattoo so if Jeb ever tries to find me, I can pretend I’m someone else. ‘His’ Max would ‘never’ get a tattoo. I have a pair of wings on my back, for my tattoo. It took a lot of convincing for the guy to do it. Anyway,

“Then, I went to Arizona, and found Valencia. She helped me get a new last name, so that Jeb couldn’t find me through Batchelder or Martinez. I now go by Maxine Ride. Like Sally Ride, the astronaut.

“And now? I go to a boarding school. Due to all my time on the streets and all, I’m a bit weary of being their alone, but hey, I don’t expect a lot of the runaways I knew to be coming to this school, but… if you reach this somehow, know that I’m still out there, and I’m still just as willing to join the fight. I have to go now, hopefully things won’t change for now. Mom, if you see this, I love you, same goes for sis. Ari, if you see this, you’re a great little brother, and I’m sorry I couldn’t take you with me. But for now on…

“It’s fight or flight.”

I COULD USE A
