Chapter 2

"ok"

I awkwardly say as I try to pat his back.

"there there"

I try to comfort him as he kept on sobbing. Suddenly I remember my uncle usually arrives around this time.

"Bruce, I need to go but I will try to help you as much as I can, ok?" I say in the most reassuring tone I can muster. He hugged me even more tightly and finally let me go.

"Thank you"

He says between sniffles, trying to smile. I smiled back and ran up the stairs making sure to leave everything as it was.

'I can't believe my uncle would do this to such a nice guy.. actually no he's always been weird but damn...'

I thought as I ran to the couch, immediately sitting down. A few seconds later the door opened.

Uncle looked at his brother and sighed, trudging towards the basement door.

'Now how do I help that cute dude run away without my uncle murdering me'

I went back to staring off into space.

"AHA"

I jumped up in excitement.

"I'M HEADING OUT"

I say as I opened the lock and threw it away into the bushes. My Uncle always scolded me about this lock.

'I don't really give a damn... He probably does it to keep people in'

I said as I started my walk towards the store.

10 minutes later...

Suddenly I stopped,

'What the fuck was I even gonna get...
I know it's supposed to make you pass out and shit... oh wait I already have that'

I realize as I quickly turned around and started running back.

'I hope he doesn't kill him'

I arrived back at the house, sweating. I ran to my room and opened my drawer.

'Melatonin'

it read. I always needed these, ever since my mom died right in front of me. I always had nightmares about it. It happened 3 months ago and someone finally took me in after 2 months.

I could never recover from that. The way that car hit her. I couldn't do anything but stare in disbelief.

I shook it off and walked back to the living room. It was around 7:30?? I went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass.

My Uncle's a weirdo who sits in the kitchen in the middle of the night, naked. I don't exactly know why he's into that shit but damn it's weird as hell.
