They've both been hungry for a very long time. It's too bad their hungers aren't exactly the same.. and neither were their species.
Elias once had a friend. A best friend at that. Unfortunately, Elias's friend disappeared in his 2nd year of middle s...
I walked home thinking about Kaiden. I didn't understand what he was trying to say. People would treat me better without my hair in the way? How did that make any sense!
I opened the door and took off my shoes to see my mom drinking on the couch. She looked up at me and I finally got to really see her face after 4 years. She looked horrible. Terribly pale, terribly skinny and her eye bags were a sickly purple. She looked ill and if not, dead.
"Welcome back, Elias." she greeted and I was taken aback. She never greeted me. Not in 4 and 1/2 fucking years.
"H-Hi." I stuttered, my voice quiet. I wondered if she was going to say anything else, but once she didn't, I headed upstairs and into my room. For an odd reason, the door was closed shut. I hadn't remembered closing my door before school. In fact, I never close my door before school. The only times I close it is when my mother's home.
My hand sneaked around the doorknob and turned.
A mess. Was the first thing I thought.
All my clothes, my desk, my bed my laptop. All my stuff was broken. My clothes were ripped into shreds on the ground and my desk was tipped over with a missing leg. Everything that was on my desk like my computer was broken. Shattered on the floor with no return. No.. no no no no! I thought. I desperately scrambled towards my laptop and checked if I could still turn it on. I could, but the screen was cracked and a part of it was busted. I cried out in frustration. My clothes weren't in any better shape. They were ripped up or filled with some kind of liquid. I was guessing it was alcohol since I could smell it. Having an alcoholic mom means knowing the smell of drugs pretty well.
Everything was torn up. I didn't even know if I had any clothes left. The only thing that wasn't broken was the lamp beside my bed. Kaidens picture. I realized. I rushed towards the lamp and pulled the picture out of it. There was nothing there. His picture was gone and from what I knew, probably destroyed. That was my favorite picture of him and it was just erased off the face of earth.
"Please no.." I felt tears pooling at the ends of my eyes.
I wouldn't have anything to wear tomorrow. I didn't even have my picture of Kaiden.
Literally everything was gone. I felt myself panicking and the wet, warm tears streaming down my face. Please no.." I thought desperately. Please tell me it's a dream!
I didn't even know if I could do my school work in this messy room. My laptop— which had been used for submitting assignments— was destroyed and there was no coming back. My grades would drop. I knew it. I at least wanted to be a good student worthy of something. I didn't want to fail. I didn't want to become someone like my mother.
Right. I thought. She did this.
This messy, broken room was because of her. Everything I owned, everything I possessed was cut up and turned into useless pieces of junk. My hands dug into my hair and I screamed. Why was this happening to me?! I just wanted to come home peacefully.
"W-why?!" I cried out. My breathing became uneven with each passing moment. What was I supposed to wear tomorrow? How was I going to clean this up? What about my grades? They would surely drop. How would I even sleep tonight on a broken bed and cut up sheets? How was I supposed to move around? How could I buy a new laptop? I had no money, no clothes and nowhere to sleep. My heart pounded in my chest. I covered my ears and closed my eyes in hope that when I opened them, everything would be back to normal. I blocked out every other sound until all I could hear was my shallow breathing and the producing of my heart.
I didn't even try to not make any noise. I knew my mother would come up and beat me for it, but what did it matter? What could be worse than having everything taken from you?
"ELIAS!" I heard her yell through my closed ears. I didn't know how close she was, but the next second I was being dragged out of the room and into the hallway. Her hand snaked around my wrist and harshly squeezed. I didn't look up to see her face. I couldn't. I could barely even think. Speak of the devil and she comes.
My head was banged against the hallway wall as my mother sent a slap to my left cheek. The stinging feeling of pain hit me and I cried out.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" she screamed. "Do you know how much I try to take care of you and everyday you come home whining. This is what you get, Elias Artino. Your room isn't the only thing that's getting destroyed." her tone was harsh and full of furious rage.
My body wasn't responding to me and I could only say nothing and just take it.
She threw an alcohol bottle at me. It shattered into pieces against my head, scrapping against my leg and cheek. It stung and I gasped out in agony.
"Let me do you a favor you piece of shit. I should've never given birth to a bitch of a son." my mother said. I watched her hand as she picked up a piece of glass and brought it up to me. Was she gonna stab me? Was she finally gonna kill me?
It was none of those.
She used the piece of glass to cut my bangs and my long, shaggy hair. I didn't know how much blood I lost, but I could already feel myself passing out. I couldn't do anything to stop her. I couldn't even walk or talk straight. My brain was dead and I was sure I would be to.
My blonde hair fell to the floor, inch by inch. She only cut the long parts off from what I could tell. I didn't want my hair to be cut. I didn't want to be able to see better or to even look better. I just wanted to feel protected behind those bangs. My mother took that away from me. I couldn't even feel safe in my own house.
She pushed me onto the ground before throwing the shard away. "There, you look like a real man now, not a little pussy." she said. "Show off that face of yours as much as you want!" she cackled.
That was all I heard before blacking out.
