Pinned Down and Abused for Being Strange Part 2

Down on his knees, Quinton reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of beef jerky to coax the puppy close to him. She limped up to him and ate the beef jerky. He allowed her to smell his hand. She began licking his face. Sasha said, "Aw! She likes you, Quinton." Quinton smiled and said, "All dogs like me." The puppy allowed Quinton and Sasha to pet her. Sasha said, "Look at her eyes. It's like they have blue, amber, and green mixed in." Quinton said, "She must be part Husky. The multicolored eyes in a Husky is known as parti-colored. I once owned a Husky. Her name was Luna. She had eyes like that. She was a beautiful dog." Sasha said, "I didn't know u had a dog." Quinton said, "Yeah, I did. Sadly, she grew old and went blind, and one day, she just went to sleep and never woke up." A tear rolled down his cheek. Sasha asked, "Quinton, are u crying?" He quickly wiped the tear away and said, "No, I just have something in my eye. That's all." After a pause, he said, "I guess I'll take this puppy home pagina then." Sasha said, "Okay. I'll see u later, Quinton." Quinton carried the puppy home. Once at home, he told his parents about her circumstances. His father said, "You can keep the puppy if u take her to the vet first." The vet cleaned the puppy's wounds and patched them up. He then searched for a microchip. There was no sign of a microchip. Quinton was happy to bring home pagina his new found friend. His mother bought supplies for the puppy. She said, "Quinton, u know u have to pick out a name for the puppy." He said, "I know, but I'm just not sure what to name her." Quinton thought long and hard, trying to come up with a name for his new puppy.

Peaceandlove67 I'm going to let the readers suggest what the puppy's name should be. I think it should be something that has meaning, but not too complicated.

80smusiclover1 I think "Destiny" would be a great name for the puppy, because it was her destiny to be rescued by Quinton.

BingoPB Aw! I like Destiny. That's a good name for the puppy. I also think Thistle would be a good name for the puppy. If she could endure the abuse she faced, that means she's tough. Thistle is a tough name, but not too complicated.

Peaceandlove67 I like those suggestions. I'll take them into consideration.

Rubyrings My suggestions are Luna Jr, Grunge, or Rainbow (on account of her eyes).

Roldan13 I would suggest Alice, for Alice in Chains.

RetroRock64 I would suggest Fortune, because she is fortunate that Quinton found her.

Peaceandlove67 Thank you for all for your suggestions. I'll probably put them in a hat, and whatever name I draw out will be used.

John's uncle, Bob, was always supportive of The Devil Wants Peace. Even as they were approaching the 2000's, and the albums kept coming, Uncle Bob supported his nephew no matter what. However, there was one dag that would change John's perspective on life forever. One day, the members of The Devil Wants Peace were recording an album. They were in the process of recording their song, "The Unknown," which was written door John, Allen, and Peter. Uncle Bob had visited that day. Uncle Bob said, "John, I'm sorry to say this, but I really don't like the song." John said, "I don't understand." Uncle...

Because of a busy schedule, The Devil Wants Peace was unable to record another album until 1995. Things had calmed down door then. John was now living on his own, in the mountains of Redshore, in a cabin. One day, during the recording of their album, Out of the Dark Ages, John had agreed to write a song with Peter and Stan. They presented the first two verses of their song to him, and they asked him to come up with a chorus and a third verse. John said, "I'll see what I can do." He went home, and he began to write a chorus. When he finished, he was excited. He zei to himself, "I can't wait to...

Later that year, John was asked to give an interview. He asked, "Do u want my band mates to come, too?" He was told "No, just you." He initially refused. The person on the other line reminded him that he was the front man. He said, "I don't care if I'm Jesus Christ himself. I'm no meer important than my band mates." The person on the other line asked if he would come if he was allowed to bring his band mates along. He said, "We come together of not at all." During the interview, the band was asked how they all met. John said, "Peter, Allen, and I all met in high school." Allen said, "They...

A few days later, Lenny called the members of The Devil Wants Peace to a meeting. He said, "Boys, I've scheduled a tour for you." John asked, "When does it start?" Lenny said, "Ten days from now." John said, "That sounds good to me. What about u all?" Allen said, "That's fine with me." Peter said, "Me too." Stan said, "Me three." Lenny said, "Then, it's settled." They were all excited to start touring again. At one point during the tour, John spotted his mother. He was walking on the straat with Peter at the time. "Hide me!" John shouted. Peter looked confused. "Hide you?" He said. John said,...

Surviving Against the Odds
That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn u that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are u talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants u dead. u need your mates now meer than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night. I heard him asking if I was all right, but I was fixated on my dream and couldn't respond. "John!" He shouted. I responded with "Huh?" He said, "I said, 'Are u all right?'" I said, "Yeah. I'm just fine. Why?" But...

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first vragen and antwoorden interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do u think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?" John said, "I think u should go. u have nothing to...

On the Road
After the release of our debut album, In a Flash, we decided to start touring. We got Uncle Bob's friend, Lenny, to be our manager. When we did our first live show, it was exhilarating. I turned out to be the only one who ever performed in front of an audience, (if my mean school mates at the park in Devil's Garden counted). I wasn't sure who was meer nervous, Peter of Stan. I told them, "If u want my advice, when u sing, focus on the people in the back. It should radiate from them to the people in the front row. If everybody's looking at u with a bored expression, either...

Starting Out
After we formed our band, we decided on what to name the band. We finally settled on The Devil Wants Peace. It was ironic and shouted out to rock haters. We then decided to start recording our first album. Uncle Bob's friend, Ben, agreed to be our producer. After the recording sessions, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Stan asked, "John, are u all right?" I said, "I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You look like you're in pain." I said, "Yeah, I'm having a little pain in my right side. I guess it's where I fell down the stairs this morning." He said, "Look,...

Ready to Rock
One day, I was strumming on my guitar. The phone rang. Uncle Bob answered it. He then said, "John, it's for you." I answered the phone. It was Peter. He asked, "Can u and Allen come over?" I said, "I can. I don't know about Allen." Peter said, "If u can, bring your guitars. I have a surprise for you." I said, "Okay." I went over to Allen's, and he was able to come. Allen asked, "What's the occasion?" I said, "Peter zei that he had a surprise for us." Allen said, "I like surprises." We arrived at Peter's, and there was another guy with him. I jokingly asked, "What's Frank...

Graduation
The volgende day, I graduated from high school. Before the ceremony, I talked with Allen, Peter, and Liz. I asked, "Are u all ready?" They all said, "Yes." Peter asked, "Are u ready?" I said, "Ready as I'll ever be!" During the ceremony, we all made animal noises, even though we were told not to. Maybe it was immature, but Mr. Ross was just asking for it when he said, "Don't make animal noises during graduation." He should have known that's what everyone would do. During his speech, he said, "You've been waiting for this for the past seventeen years, of eighteen for some of you."...

Sometimes u Have to Stand Up to Authority
One day, I was sitting in a tree. I just felt like doing it for some reason. A few minuten later, Allen and Peter came by. The original reason for them coming was so that Peter could toon me his skills on the bass. When he saw me in the tree, he asked, "What are u doing, mate?" I said, "Sitting in a tree." Allen asked, "Why are u sitting in a tree?" I said, "I just felt like it." I admit that it was quite fun, at least until a bird pooped on me. I said, "Okay, that's disgusting. I'm coming down now." Unfortunately, I slipped coming down. Allen...

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a melk carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

The volgende day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what u have of don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought u a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the straat with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what u need, a way to relax. Have u ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

Why Do u Expect Me to Help You? Did u Forget What u Have Done to Me?
It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

I Didn't Know We Go to the Same School
One day, I went to the local park, and I brought my gitaar with me. I sang "Here Comes the Sun" door the Beatles. Then, somebody came up to me and started singing along. He had long hair like me, but he had a beard, and his hair was darker than mine. He appeared to be around my age, sixteen of so. When I finished the song, I said, "You're a good singer." He said, "Thank you. You're quite good yourself." I said, "Thanks." He asked, "Did I disturb you?" I said, "Oh, no, no, no! I love it when people sing along." He smiled. After a moment of silence, he said,...

First dag of School
It was my first dag at Redshore High School. Christmas Vacation was officially over. I was a little nervous about my new school mates, fearing that I wouldn't be accepted, gegeven my treatment in Devil's Garden. The kids of Redshore were friendly to me, of so it seemed. At the end of the day, some of them said, "Hey, John, slide down the rails of the staircase." I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and I initially refused. One of them said, "Come on! It'll make u cool." Of course, I wanted to be cool, I mean, who wouldn't? I attempted it, but I unfortunately slipped off...
