The Darker Side Of Fantasy: Chapter I

PART 1: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

AMELIA'S POV

My name is Amelia Brooks and I am 26 years old who recently moved to New York away from my friends and family who lived in Ohio first. I moved because it felt as if I didn't want to live there anymore that I needed my own place to stay and my time to work on myself.

I loved painting it was the best thing, ever since I was small I loved to paint a lot. I practiced and was very good at it.

My mother always told me that I can be and do whatever I wanted what makes me happy and just to live my life to the fullest.

My mother always saw the greatest in me and my passion of what I love doing it was always amazing to see someone watch me achieve something I've only ever dreamed of achieving. Not just, I had many problems and encounters with my obsessive and crazy ex – boyfriend of mine who always stalked me.

He always wants to be near me and blame me for being wrong when he was clearly the wrong one. Our relationship ended a long time ago because I told him that I was immigrating to New York since we both stayed in the same city.

He got upset and he was furious but it wasn't my fault. I have always gotten doubt leaving my parents alone but I hoped I made the right decision.

After I moved then it felt better much better I was finally going to start my life now away from everything my past but still that moment still haunts me to this very day.

My brother Jayden was a very smart and intelligent person always did well and great he was older than me and I never got to see him that much since of his work schedule all the time. He was fine for about 3 years until he was taking drugs and he got sent to a mental hospital because he was smashing and being mentally unstable.

I never told people that I had a brother I just said it was me and my parents and that I was the only one because if I told them, then they would feel disgusted and embarrassed and think that I wasn't all normal.

I prayed day and night for his recovery and for him to get better each day. He was going all crazy each day.

We thought music helps him with his problems but it doesn't seem like anything helps him anymore. Like he is someone different someone who I never thought he would become.

This all happened when I was 24 and he was 31. I couldn't bare the feeling of my brother being sick like this acting like some mad person.

A year when he got better my parents decided to clean his room and pack his things neat for him to come home.

Until they found drugs a lot of drugs cocaine and lots of other stuff all laying around one under his bed and a few in his drawers.

They were shocked he has been not recovering but he has also been taking this since he was a teenager we all didn't know what to come of this and just handed it to the police.

They did a small investigation and took all of his belongings with them just for safety precautions when they did that they removed everything put new bed sheets new closets and stuff in his room.

When he arrived, he seemed all happy and pleasant but things went bad after not a week going by where he robbed a store.

He then got sent to yet another mental hospital and he got placed there he was upset and freaking out until then he broke out one night the alarms when off the guards that were there he killed them with his bare hands because he hasn't cut his nails in forever.

Jayden ran home and we all freaked out as my mother started screaming and shouting at him because he had a gun we all freaked out as we screamed. We were terrified that he might hurt us it was my 24th birthday today and we celebrated it together but not with my brother.

"Amelia..." Jayden says laughing like a crazy person

I didn't know what to say my legs were shaking and we were all scared and shocked

"Goodbye Amelia..." Jayden says while putting the gun by his head and shooting it

We all screamed as we closed our ears because from the loud gunshot that went off I screamed and cried as I approached him but he was covered full of blood he had been dead already.

The police came by and investigated us asking us questions but we just told him that he committed suicide.

As my parents were talking to the two officers I watched as the body got taken away as I was still filled with fear and was horrified of what I had just witnessed my own brother took his life...

Ever since that day I had been horrified and traumatized I witnessed my own brother commit suicide right in front of me with my very own eyes.

His last words were goodbye Amelia and then he died I wish it had been me instead of him. Jared was great he had a great life ahead of him he was healthy, smart good at baseball being team captain. He was the best sports person in his team and he was most of all happy.

I don't know what came of him to do something like this we all never knew he had mental issues we didn't know that he would be like this because we just all were blinded just knowing he was healthy and doing fine when he actually wasn't doing that.
