__Oxton Davis __ On September 10, 1983 a baby boy was born. His name was Oxton Davis. But sadly the mother of the child didn’t make it. No one knew who the father was. Who does the baby go too? So the doctors called the grandparents Jim and Sarah Davis, and told them that there daughter died giving birth. They came and got little baby Oxton.

Oxton was tall, black, and with black hair. When Oxton started high school he realized he was a little different when he got mad. When he got mad his eyes turned red as an apple. His skin would first turn pink, then the madder he got he turned very hot and felt like he was on fire. Oxton had to control his temper.

On one Monday it was just a regular day at school. This boy name Timmy was just talking mad junk about Oxton. Like any other person Oxton got tired of it. It was like Oxton blacked out and he pushed Timmy to the lockers. Blood just started coming down Timmy face. The teachers at the school called the cops. Oxton got arrested; his grandparents came and got him out of jail. So something like that would never happen again they put Oxton in home school.

On Oxton 20th birthday he sat down with Jim and Sarah and asked them about his father. Jim and Sarah told them that his father was named Tom Wilkerson. He started looking on the internet for anybody name Tom Wilkerson. He got an email from Tom. Oxton couldn’t believe it he knew everything about Oxton mom Susie.

Oxton decided to meet Tom at a local coffee shop. Oxton wanted to know why he didn’t come see him when he was a child. Tom said I didn’t even know that you were born me and your mother had broken up. So Oxton said well I guess you don’t know she died giving birth to me. Tom busted out in tears. The big question that Oxton wanted to ask why was they liked that so he asked Tom. Tom said I don’t know we were just born like that I got the same gift. It was the happiest time of Oxton life. Tom called Oxton one day and said do you want to move in with me. Oxton said yes, that same day Oxton moved in with Tom. Jim and Sarah were happy that he finally found his dad and made a relation with him.

Trouble had to come Oxton way. When Oxton was at work the same boy Timmy that Oxton had beat up back in high school. Timmy walked in the restaurant with four of his friends. Came up to Oxton and said its pay back time. Oxton told Timmy to get out his face and just sit down and buy something or leave. Timmy said no we have some business to finish. Oxton had started turning pink and everybody could tell he was getting mad. So Oxton boss called the police on Timmy and the police arrested Timmy.

One day after he gotten off work he went to his grandparent’s house. He sat down with them and ate dinner. They asked him how everything was going. Oxton told them about what happen at his job with Timmy. Sarah told Oxton I think it’s weird that Tom didn’t know that you were being born. Susie told me that she told your dad that she was having a child. Then I never heard anything about him again. Oxton said I’m sure he’s my dad he has the same gift as me.

It was a Saturday evening Oxton went home. When he opened up the door and went in the house Tom was holding a gun. Tom told Oxton to sit down, so Oxton sat down. Tom said I’m not really your dad. I hated your dad. That’s why he is dead now. Your mother cheated on me with your father and had you. Tom shot Oxton right in the heart two times. Oxton was killed immediately. Oxton never got to meet his mother or father. Maybe he will meet them in heaven.
