Alex's point of view

Debbie invites me into her home which is a mass alcohol bottles everywhere and it looks like the garbage hasn't been taken out for awhile. I can't say I blame her for being in this kind of state she's just lost her whole family and she's probably questioning whether or not, it was ever real to begin with.

It was pitch black, however, we could clearly see each other things to the light on the table, which the two of us sat across from each other, both of us, not really sure what to say well, I know what I want to say, I just don't know how to say it. I wanted to try and talk to her for a while now ever since the fight but I just couldn't find the words

This silence went on for an uncomfortable amount of time. I finally found the courage to say something: I ...wanted to apologise

Debbie seem surprised: apologise for what you didn't do anything wrong if anything, I feel like I should be apologising to you if I had known Nolan...

She begins to cry again tonight, stop her before that happens : Debbie, you couldn't of known. And about Mark I just want you to know that how he found out about me being his older brother is not the way I planned. Truthfully I wanted Mark to be on our side I never wanted to do what I did, I just got angry and I lost control I shouldn't of taken it as far as I did. I'm sorry for hurting your son

Debbie: It's not your fault, I honestly I can't blame you for what you did you talk to your girlfriend, I just wish I could've seen what was happening. Mark had become more cocky with his powers but he still listen to me. I didn't realise just how far he would've gone, maybe if I just paid more attention to when I would've realised what he was... What his father was turning him into

I can't argue with her she's right maybe she did pay more attention she would've noticed it but I can't blame her that because I've made the same mistake once

I remember that moment like it was clear as day: this might be hard to believe, but I know what you're going through, you believe that there was something you could've done and you should've done it and maybe you're right but the truth is none of that matters now you can't go back and change anything even though you desperately want to all I can say is, it's not your fault

Debbie: how is it not he's my son and I didn't know what he was turning into or what he was doing!

She began to cry. I grabbed hold of her hand and gave her a comforting squeeze to get her attention as I tell her the story of how I made the same mistake. She is now blaming herself for: A long time ago, when I was very young a few years after Nolan destroyed my home I came across a planet with species, remarkably similar to humans, except they had two hearts and they could live a very long time. 83 was their equivalent of eight anyway, only two of the boys they found me dropped me in. It wasn't much we had to live out in a barnyard and the food was terrible, but it was enough The two of them were there for me they made me feel like I had a family again we used to play in these fields for hours, just running around laughing and chasing one another. to say that they want one of the happiest moments of my life would be an understatement.

Debbie:  what happened to them?

I took a deep breath in as the next part was the most difficult of the story: On this planet, they had a great deal of interest in titles, like the prime minister doctor, and depending on your title of depended on your social service, me and my friends, we got tired of living in the barnyard, so we set our sights on a place called the academy... The number one place on the planet to make yourself in higher standing. We promised each other that we would make it there, and after I would say after 25 years we made it, but there was one final test. We needed to pass before we were allowed entrance into the academy and that's when started to go wrong
