3 Days till the end

[ chapter 5 ]

[ torn apart ]

rika: i need you to help me. i can't take this anymore. I've been thinking about doing it but i was too cowardly to do it.

axel: why do you have to kill someone?

rika: i can't even say it but all i want from you is to believe me. i have to do it.

axel: calm down and talk to me about it. I'll see what i can do.

rika: it all started when that man came into our life. even since my dad died when i was just 5 years old my mom had been struggling to afford our basic living. then she met this man and as soon as they began dating he started showering her with gifts and money. it was the only time that we began to live a stable life. i never liked him but i was going to stay silent if it meant that it would make mon life easier and if she would back to being happy. it seemed like we were a family at least.

axel: then what happened?

rika: mom got fired of her work due to an accident at the workplace that it wasn't even her fault. she became jobless and had to rely on him for everything and after couple weeks my grandmother died. they were too close and that affected her badly. she stayed at house all day without even saying anything. and instead of helping her that man became acting so aggressively and always drunk. he started accusing her of taking advantage of him and stealing his money. it wasn't a much time before he began beating her and me most days. with or without a reason. and she couldn't stand up to him because he was still the one who afford money and food to the house. mom kept wanting to have a job but he refused. making her stay at his mercy. and after a while my mom changed to being violent towards me. she transferred her rage towards him into beating me. telling me that it's all my fault and i shouldn't 'nt have been born. she wasn't like this. this filthy man changed her.

axel: why didn't she report the police on him.

rika: i kept telling her this but she is too scared. she fears that child care would take me away from her. despite her beating me i know that she wouldn't ever let me live apart from her.

axel: are you sure you really wanna do this? think about it. talking about killing someone like this..

rika: then how can i live with the person who assaulted me and my mother!!.

axel: huh!! he did what??

rika: i just can't stand it anymore. just looking at him makes me wanna vomit. i even tried ending my life but I'm too scared to actually do it. i just want him to disappear from our life. please help me.

Axel was shocked and felt utter disgust of that man's actions. despite him wanting to erase the corrupt and vile individuals from this world yet he kept turning a blind eye to those who are close to him he's filled with blame and guilt. if only i had known earlier. if only i had asked. if only i tried to help. but this time he won't let any of these regrets stop him from doing what's right. he never killed someone by intention so what will his decision be?

{ axel thinking in his mind }

why am i hesitant? this freak is a total vile shit. it's totally justified to do it. if the corrupted law can't judge him then someone has to. isn't this the reason why i started all of this CHX thing. how can i call myself a justice seeker if i can't help the innocent people that need me.

with determination in his mind and a confident sight. he makes up his mind to help her.

axel: I'll help you. tell me what I can do
