What Could Have Been Us

Chapter 2

As I make it up the stairs I can't help but notice the distress my father seems to be in. "What's wrong with him" I wispier to Greyson. "He misses Mom again and he's been drinking all night." He says, oh was I could manage to say to him without thinking too much about it. "Dad you said you needed me?" "Next time I order you to do something you do it when I asked understood?" "What are you talking about?" "I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING MAN IN THE BASEMENT." "WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT HE WAS JUST SITTING THERE AND NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING SHIT ABOUT IT. "YOU DISOBEY ME AGAIN WE ARE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM ARE WE CLEAR?" "YES SIR" was all I could manage to say while my hands went into a ball and I was clenching my jaw not wanting to cause anymore problems, I walk out and I slammed the door shut and ran upstairs to my room. Without any hesitation, I went straight to the shower and hopped right in and turned the water to the highest setting to let out all the frustrations and muscle aches I have. After I get out I just threw on some sweatpants and a hoodie. When I finally hit the bed I went straight to sleep having enough of today's problems. Well, that's what I wanted to happen but unfortunately, I could not fall asleep and instead I'm wide awake, and it's currently 4:30 in the morning. Fuck I mumble under my breath I just want to go to sleep. Something was not letting me through. It was my father, he usually is not that aggressive with me or at least before my mom passed away.
Flashback
MOM, MOM WHERE ARE YOU? I say while tears start to form. I run around the house rushing to find her. As I'm walking I see blood on the wood floor, when I get closer I see my dad holding her with blood down his suit while my mom's lifeless body lays there. That was the first time in my life that I saw my father crying, never in my life did I ever see him cry like I did that day. As I'm running toward my mom I feel hands on me. I look up to see both of my brothers stopping me. I tried to break out of their embrace. They would not let go. By this point, I'm a sobbing mess and Greyson and Aidan carry me out of the house. After that, I remember never returning to that house ever again.
Flashback over
At this point, it fucking 5:15 Am and I still can't sleep and be miserable, so I decided to get up for the day and get ready. All of a sudden while I'm getting ready I hear a loud CRASH downstairs.
