Caleb-In and Out

I have been told that I am one to tell a lot of interesting stories.

which I totally agree with, I honestly have so many stories to tell and not enough people to tell them to. most of my stories are bad, but there are some good ones stuck in there too. I like to say that my past experiences have given me character development, and that most of what I have had to go through had just made me stronger, and I'm glad to know that other people see me that way too. The person who introduced me to this idea is a security guard (Caleb) at my school. Wonderful man. Of course, there are reasons that brought him to become a security guard. But those are His stories to tell. I think most of what our relationship is made up of is just mutual respect. We've both seen some things, which initially brought us to meet, and we became friends shortly after. I would also like to add that I am scared of this man. Survived two gunshots and a couple knife attacks including a machete last year in the parking lot next to our school. That's not all, either. some things he has told and some that he chooses not to, which I respect. There was a time, a while ago, back in middle school, when I was not having a good moment with my dad. He locked me in his car outside of my school building and started yelling at me. I won't go too far. I remember looking out the window and seeing all my friends going to school. I would pretend to wave at them, but actually give them a signal to help. they never did. You can't expect them to, they're children. But Caleb did. Caleb saw my dad through the tinted windows, He saw me, and for the next hour and a half, He and another security guard stood silently next to my dad's car. They never did anything. But I knew that they were telling me I was safe. All while my dad was yelling at me, and while I was crying, this man skipped his thirty minute break to make sure some random kid would get out of their car safe. 

I did one thing that I never did until that point and will never do again. I shouted "stop!", unlocked the door, and ran into my school building. I cried in the bathroom the whole day, missed all my classes, but weirdest thing is? I never got in trouble with the school staff.

Those are just one of my stories. one that explains a lot in my life. 

One that tells a story of a man who understood.

EDIT: this happened a long long time ago. He still works as a security guard and seems to be doing pretty good for himself.
