Bad Blood

Prologue

"Daddy, daddy, look!" I enthusiastically pointed at the firefly. I ran towards the firefly but it moved away from me, I kept chasing it until I tripped on something and landed on my butt.

Pain was the only thing I felt and I started to cry. My dad rushed over to me and ask "Are you okay, baby girl?" I nodded while whimpering quietly. Dad helped me up and I saw the thing, no, someone who made me tripped. A boy around my age with captivating soft brown eyes and dark brown hair. His eyes captured mine and I saw guilt. He motioned himself towards me and offered his right hand while apologizing softly to me. I accepted his apology by taking his hand and shaking it.

A smile graced his handsome face when I took his hand, and I smiled back at him. I didn't even realize that we were at the park, or my dad was watching our little interaction.

"C'mon kid, we gotta go it's starting to get pretty dark now." Dad said to me, but before we took of from the park my dad went to the boy and told him to go back to his parents. But when I look closely, the face on his smile suddenly changed into a frown that makes his cute face less cute.

My dad and I watched the little boy zoomed off through the crowds of the infamous New York City. My mood went down drastically and I don't even know why.

Little did I know that the cause of my sudden change of mood was because of him.

Life has been so good so far until that thing happened. My dad has gone mad, coming home drunk everyday. My mom became so stressed because all of this, she once threatened dad to call the lawyer to take a divorce if he don't want to change his intolerable behaviour. Day after day, dad went worse on his drinking, while mom started to have dark circles below her eyes. She worked so hard everyday to pay our bills and to give me and my brother foods to eat. I felt very devastated when mom got sick, and since then dad realises what he had been doing and what mess he has caused.

Oh when I said mess, a big one.

Mom were diagnosed with a brain cancer not long after dad improved and stopped drinking. Dad went all ballistic when he found out, he tried his best to stay strong for me and Ace, I felt that our family could just collapse anytime. I just went on with my life without believing that it's true that my once happy, cheerful family would grow into a broken one.
