I felt pain explode through my chest as I watched my mother cry. I could hear her begging Kasper to stop, but he wouldn't, and now that I'm feeling the pain, I remembered everything I put Kasper through and I remembered some memories I had blocked out. I remembered my dad bringing home a young male. He couldn't have been older than twelve at the time. The male was covered in mud, dust and dirt, and he couldn't stop crying. My mother led him to the bathroom and my father went in right after she left. All night that night I would hear screams and muffled noises. This went on for weeks. Every night. When I asked my mother what the noise was, she didn't answer. Instead, she went to my father's study and made him kick the boy out.
I don't know if it was the pain that caused me to remember or if the medicine did, but what I did know is how badly I wanted to say "I'm sorry" to him. All I could do is sit there and take the pain, knowing I deserved it. I couldn't stop staring at the long scar going down Kasper's neck, a million thoughts running through my mind as to when and how he could have gotten it. Did my dad do it to him?
