it hurt. the thought of clicking the button. the thought of the dumb aliens invading him. "who is he to you, lana?" dr pam asked worried, "my brother." i replied my voice cracking at the words. "not anymore." dr pam said trying to comfort me. it didn't work, it just made it worse. "if you don't click the button, somebody else will, he's already dead, lana. it's the alien, not him." she said yet another thing.
anger boiled in my chest, "shut up! just shut up!" i yelled, i finally broke, i stood up a sharp pain in my thigh, "get it out of him! please! don't let him die! we can help him!" i begged, i couldn't bare the thought of losing yet another family member, especially tommy, he was the sweetest little boy, he loved everyone and everything, he wouldn't even hurt a fly. he loved the thought of a happy future, even in the darkest shit he'd find light, he'd find a way to cheer anyone up, he respected everyone. he thought that the aliens coming here would save our world, save him. but now they're killing him, they took a vulnerable, caring, and lovable young boy and killed him. i remember being so excited when i found out he was a boy, i had always wanted a brother, someone to protect me, and someone i could protect. i promised mom. i promised her. and i couldn't protect him, i'll always blame myself. always.
"please!" i begged sobs choking out of my throat, i walked up to the glass putting my hands on it. dr pam walked up to me, rubbed my back and said, "there's no saving him. if you want him in peace, kill the son of a bitch that killed him." i'd never heard dr pam cuss, but i wasn't worried about that, my forehead was pressed against the glass staring at tommy's face, my tears stained my face.
after about five minutes, i sat back down in the chair. she slid over a white machine. "look through the glass." dr pam instructed. i did as told. there was this nasty booger green thing pulsing in his head. "that's the invasion." dr pam explained.
i glared at the son of a bitch. "you just have to push this red button. right here." she said handing it over. my thumb hovered over it, he's already dead lana just push the damn button, i thought to myself, dammit push the damn button! my voice screamed in my head and i did so. i watched it fall. dropping the button to the floor i let go of the white thing and walked towards the glass i seen my brothers head sunken. then it slowly went back to a mirror. "no! bring him back!" i begged yet again screaming my lungs off. "he's gone lana, he's been gone. you didn't kill him, you killed the thing that did." dr pam told me.
didn't help. but after i calmed down she told me to go take a shower now that i was healed enough to shower myself. apparently i would be going to meet the leader of the squad i would be in. i prayed i'd be with amélie, we'll now cinderella.
i walked into the shower discarding my clothes she had on me, as the water hit my face so did tears. now all i had was amélie and tobi, if they're even still alive. i've lost everyone and everything. i looked up in the water burning my eyes even more. it felt nice to feel a pain that wasn't mental. after ten minutes i got out of the shower with a my lips straight across and a blank expression in my eyes. i looked dead.
