Alex's pov:

4 years ago

The sound of tires screeching and car horns honking filled my ears. It all happened so quickly, Me, mum, Nicholas and dad were all singing only momments ago. Now my mothers blood was staining my clothing. "Mum, please wake up, it's not funny anymore" I cried.

My brother was hugging me tightly while my Dad was on the phone with someone. He sounded panicked. But who wouldn't be in this situation. "MUM!!" I screamed. Voice breaking. I felt Nick's arms tighten around me.

"A drunk driver drove into us and my wife isn't breathing! We don't know what to do, my kids are scared" my father explained to the dispatcher on the phone. "Okay, please hurry" said nodding.

Once he hung up he hugged us both. "It'll be okay," he said.

" I promise "

I froze. This isn't happening. It couldn't be happening. Tears were threatening to fall. My brother was laying on our bathroom floor, lifeless. Pills were scattered around him and a note lay on his chest.

After my state of shock I run over to him. Shaking him vigorously. "NICK, Nick please don't do this to me.." I sobbed.

I started running a cold bath and placed him in. I inserted two of my fingers in the back of his throat, trying to get him to throw up the pills. My vision was was almost completely blurred due to the tears rolling down my cheeks.

I heard the bathroom door creak open and i knew instantly that it was dad. I could smell the achohol. "What is happening" he sneered.

"H-help him" I looked at dad. Desperation in my eyes. "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO" he slammed his fist into the door, creating a new hole that he would probably blame me for later.

I then felt him grab me by my shoulders. "LET GO" I screamed. "NICK" I yelled.

I felt as though I couldn't breathe.

Dad slammed me down to the floor as multiple kicks were aimed for my stomach. I didn't care though.

All I could think about was Nick.

Horrible twisted screams were spewing out of my mouth.










Present time

I gasped sitting up. I have been living out this momment every time i closed my eyes. Ever since That night I'd been having the same dream. Every. Single. Fucking. Night.

I couldn't even get a break in my sleep...

I turn over so I'm laying on my side.
FUCK, I'm late to school.

I rush over to my closet, wincing a little at the throbbing feeling in my ribs. I quickly through on my school uniform, brush my hair and teeth then walk out.
