Dead Boy

chapter 2

Ric Pov

I can't. I stop thinking about the boy from the mall he just looks so much like Zara it's uncanny, but he can't be Zackary he's dead. I saw his body burnt to a crisp.

But was it really him, or was it just one of my enemies trying to stop me from finding my son.

I know my wife is already looking into it. she can't let it go she misses Zackary the most out of everyone. I mean, she literally birthed him, so she already holds a special bond with him.

I guess some part of me can't let him go, he was my youngest child and even though in our little time we spent together i could tell he would be an amazing and kind child.

I know most of my children don't remember their youngest sibling and that pains me they don't or even i don't know what happened to him before we found his body, we never even got to hear him talk or speak. or see more of his personality flourish.

why did my youngest son have to die at the age of 15, and i only got to spend 3 months with him.

I think what pains me the most is I don't know what he went through in those 15 years did have a good life or was it so bad that it made him start the fire or was it just a accident, the worst part of not knowing is if he killed himself or was his death an accident or even a murder.

I tried to dig into his past when we found his body, but nothing came up with no childhood photos, injuries, or even police reports with the blood at the scene.

Sometimes I wish there was something so me and my family could get some closure he was our youngest child, and even the cutest child in my opinion I know I'm suppost to like my only daughter first but Zackary will always hold a special place in my heart not just cause he is the youngest but because his life, his soul, and his very existence was cut short and it pains me we never got to see what kind of person he became. And I know he will never experience the things my other children will experience, like learning to drive, getting a girlfriend, or even drinking and the one thought that pains me the most he will never start a family, will never grow old, and I will never hear his voice, the sound of his breathing, and the sight of his eye looking at me full of wonder when he was born.

And I just feel that our family is broken without him.

*warning mentions of pased and present rape* ⚠️⚠️⚠️

should i even go in there? i know Mother will be pissed that i don't have her food. i really want to run away from her but i can't I've been with her since i turned 7 and i don't know how to live without her, I'm scared of her but mostly I'm scared is when i do leave i will in some fucked up way miss her even if she rapes and abuses me a lot of the time I'm scared that i wont know how to function without it because it has happened everyday since I've came to live with her.

After a while, waiting to open my own personal hell, i finally get the courage to walk through the front door as soon as I enter mother pulls me to the couch and start pressing kisses to my face, neck, and torso.

''mother can we stop'' i say even though i now we are just getting started in her punishments i already know what she is going to do she does it all the time first she will make me drink this liquid that make my body all loopy and burn then after that i usually pass out before she can do anything but i always have some sort of clue when i wake up what she did to me when i awake after she is done last time i had hickeys all over my torso and neck and some other time's i have had whip and bite marks on my body from previous session or mother son bonding time she calls it.

"Mother, please stop." I almost screamed

"We can't, you know that, do you not love me no more?" she says to me

"No, Mother is still love you im just too tired."

"If you don't come with me right now you will regret it" she says glaring daggers as all of a sudden she grabs my wrist almost breaking it and is dragging me to her bedroom and the last thing I know I feel a needle go into my are and my world goes black.

Sorry to keep you all waiting truth behold, I don't really know how to continue, but I'll keep on trying to keep working on this and also been super busy. It is my senior year, and I'm just trying to finish strong 💪

Also, it might be messed up. I did not edit or anything. I'm just trying to get a chapter out for you guys. I'll revise the whole book when I have more time
After looking at the previous work I'm deleting chapter 2 I hate it and it's definitely not my best work and it doesn't go with how I'm thinking about story I'll keep it up there but this is now chapter 2

I'll try to update more
