Main characters: Cass and Tony
Chapter 1: Family tree
It all started when tony was born. His dad was an abusive jackass to his mom and he would threaten to take Tony away which was her biggest fear. He would let his girlfriend lock tony in a dark room and leave him in there, no light, no way to get out and he would just leave him there for hours. Throughout the years tony was being a bad kid, disobeying his mom the one who tried her best to care for him, she didn't know how to fix what had happened and of course he was angry for everything his dad did and didn't do. He just wanted a happy family but who doesn't? But Tony just kept getting worse and worse his mom started to beat him. Man you don't know how much it hurts her now, Tony's mom and uncle were both beaten as kids for little reasons. His mom wanted to break the chain but she just didn't know how to handle it. So she had another kid she finally broke the chain, that kid was me. My brother Tony was 10 when I was born man, he thought I was the cutest little thing, he was afraid to break me cause I was so small. Him on the other hand was a huge baby, almost 10lbs. I just wish someone was there for him when he was growing up that could comfort him like no one else could.
Chapter 2: his story
As Tony grew up he was an angry kid, of course he was he had every right to be angry, his dad was a deadbeat abusive mother trucker and all his side of his family were a bunch of idiots. But Tony wasn't the only one being abused, our mom was. Tony's dad would call her all kinds of horrible names, put his hands on her and just make her feel worthless. No one should feel like that, no one should have the power of making someone feel like that and I don't even know the guy but if I ever run into him I feel sorry for him. Tony is in his late 20's now and he still has all this anger inside of him. He takes it out on everyone but, if something isn't going his way he is not a happy camper. He treats us like shit when he doesn't get what he wants. When he gets drunk is the only time he can realize every wrong that he has done. It's actually quite sad how he can't just come to us and ask for help he knows everyone is here for him. He needs 20 bucks our mom will give it to him, he gets a DUI our mom is there, everyone who is there for him he just throws away after a bit. If his friends are in trouble or they need a favor from him he drops everything and goes to them, if us, his family needs something he says " I'll do it right now" or "I'll do it later", were never his first priority.
Chapter 3: my story
Im sorry if you have not caught on but I'm Cass. 10 years younger than my brother. When I was little he didn't want me to be a wimp so he would fight with me and wrestle so I could protect myself, but now he regrets it. I'm 5'8 (he's 5'10) I can bench more than he can and when we fight, we fight. Not little punches or light shoving, I'm talking about punching, heavy shoving, kicking etc... It's kinda sad how we fight but we know deep deep deep down we love each other, or at least he does. I can't find it in my heart to forgive him for everything that he's done to me. He's called me names no brother should ever call their sister, whenever he gets drunk I know what to expect, he'll come home ask me to go outside and spill his heart out to me. He'll apologize, and this and that but it's the same thing every single time and I just don't believe him anymore. He always says he's going to change but he doesn't. I can see why it would be hard to let go of the past but, if he had giving me a chance to be there for him I'm sure he could be different.
Chapter 4: What's your problem?
What Tony doesn't understand is that what he does hurts. Not so much physically but emotionally. He's slowly turning me into him and I can't fight it. I'm slowly shutting down. I'm starting to despise him, I can't take it. All the nights I've cried because of what he says or how he treats me. Sometimes I imagine myself out of the picture but that just makes me feel worse. I don't know what to do anymore, a few days have past and the only words I've said to him are: get out of my face, I'm done with you.
I don't know how much longer I can take this.
