Charlotte's POV

Today I'm forced to go to school. It's been a month since Bruno committed suicide and four weeks since we burried him. I've still got depression, but who wouldn't be when your family is dead, and it was all your fault. Everyday I go to the cemetery, everyday I cry myself to sleep and everyday I get worse and worse. I've pushed Bryan and Brian away, no matter what Bruno asked on his suicide note.

"Charlotte are you ready to go?" I heard Brian yell from the bottom of the stairs. Brian has been offered to drive me to school from now on, I think it's just to get me to talk to him, even though he should know that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I walked down the stairs, passed Brian and towards the front door, walking toward the car. I waited for Brian inside the car, I looked through the re-view mirror to the back seat, where Bruno was supppsed to be sitting.

"Ready?" Brian's voice spoke from the driver's seat, scaring me a little, I just nodded at his words, looking out of the window. "Charlotte, please talk to me. I know you blame yourself on everything, but it's not your fau-." I cut him off, I couldn't hear anymore of what he was saying. I spoke my first words in a month.

"STOP! OKAY! IT'S ALL MY BLOODY FAULT! I TOLD HIM I WISHED HE WASNTMY BROTHER! I TLD HIM I WISHED HE WASN'T ALIVE! DO YOU THINK HE KILLED HIMSELF COINSIDENCE?! I DON'T! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! SO JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT, OKAY?" I KILLED HIM!"I yelled, "My words got to his head and he mae my words come true! So now what? Are you going to tell me that it's not my fault and that he just killed himself because he felt like it? I don't think so." I finished, in a 'calm' voice.

Brian stayed shut the whole of the drive, with this thoughtful look on his face, probably wanting to take me back to the adoption centre becauspe of how sick minded I am.

About, ten minutes later we got to the school, I looked at the gate and saw Daniel. He was there with the captain of the cops.

"Bye." Was all I said and got out of the car. As I walked towards the school gate, I heard someone call my name.

"Charlotte! Charlie!" I know that voice anywhere, Daniel.

I turned around and waited for him to catch up with me, seeing the captin chase after him.

"Where have you been? I've been worried sick. Where's Bruno?" He questioned, oh great, here come the water works. I started to sob, then tears streamed down my face and I was full on crying. " Charlie? What's wrong?" Daniel asked, worried. I looked at him and then at the captin, they were both looking at me with worry.

"B-Bruno's dead...." I whispered, while chocking on a sob.

"What? How?" He asked, concerned and sad.

"He drank two litres of bleach. It's all my fault." I said, full on crying on the captins shoulder, while he rubbed my back.

"It's not your fault." He said, in a soothing voice.

"But it is." I whaled.

"How is it your fault?" Daniel aske , curiously.

"Remember the first day of school? When I yelled at the both of you to leave me alone?" I questioned, looking at Daniel.

"Yeah, what about it?" He asked.

"That night I ran out of the house at dinner and I got beaten and raped, when I came back home, my adoptive oarents called the ambulance and took me to the hospital. When I came out of the hospital and went home, I yelled at Bruno that I wished he wasn't my brother and I wished he wasn't alive. He wrote me a suicide note, he said that he was a horrible brother, when the one who was horrible, was me. Why did he leave?!" I screamed, my heart clenche, my stomach was closing and tears were falling rapidly down my cheeks.
