Watching People (Open)

[mackenzie james parker]

Sometimes life seemed to just really suck, and for Mackenzie it actually really sucked a lot. It all started when he was a little kid, well actually it started the very day he was born to his parents. His parents were never good people, now they didn't hit Mackenzie but they weren't trophy parents at all and sometimes they could really neglect him. Often times he found him fending for his self as his parents weren't quite doting parents, and basically ignored him when he seemed to need something. It wasn't in till he had become much older that he actually seemed to know the reason for that, and now that he knew he really wished he didn't because it seemed to just really change people's views of him and not for the better either.

He was fourteen when his parents died, and they didn't die of natural causes either, they were shot for kidnapping something that Mackenzie actually knew nothing about. He was young and his parents never did tell him that they were actually criminals and would kidnap people and something they even tortured them and murdered them, and it was easy to see that since his parents were like that people thought he would be too. He was shunned from the rest of his family, in fact he found his self basically alone. His friends didn't want to be around an orphan who was just plain weird, and getting a job was actually hard since there were so many background checks and his parents were criminals.

It was hard for him to find a place that looked past what his parents did and hired and he liked his job too, sure he happened to keep to his self a lot but it helped that people didn't really talk to him all that much anyway. He even heard from some people that he was said to just be bad news, he just didn't seem to get it though. He never thought he was such an awful person, in fact he was nothing like his parents but since his parents had such a name for themselves. Sometimes Mackenzie just really hated his parents and sitting on a park bench he glanced around, he always seemed to do these things. Watching people was just something he did lately, people seemed to have such better live than he did.
