A lions tear

Tears

  Leo yawned tiredly jumping out of bed his curly dark brown hair laid gently halfway over his right eye , he pushed open his bedroom door causing a creaking sound to echo through the quiet halls then a warm scent flooded into his nose bacon he sniffed again eggs he stepped into the cold hallway and slowly walked down the hall until he reached the kitchen

"Good morning leo, dear" he immediately recognized his mothers voice as he stepped into the warm kitchen , light flooding into his eyes "morin' mommy may i have some of those perhaps" he joked pointing to the pan sizzling with bacon his mom turned and smiled "why of course dear" his mother responded her curly dark brown hair bounced at her shoulders at even her slightest movement

Leo cheerfully climbed into a chair at the table , kicking his legs he watched as his mother scooped up an egg and two slices of bacon with the spatula then sliding them onto a plate his stomach growled loudly his mother glanced at him with her soft blue eyes "hungry,dear?" Leo nodded eagerly eyeing the plate as his mother picked it up gracefully moving across the kitchen to the table setting it down in front of him

His mother set down a cup of tea beside the plate "ill be right back, dear" she whispered leo nodded and in seconds she disappeared through the kitchen door his throat being quite dry he picked up the tea , the nsteam from it carrying sweet scents with it he brought the cup up to his lips and tilted the glass right before the liquid entered his mouth he spotted a strange bottle on the counter

He set the cup down climbing out of his chair and wwalking to the counter being quite short he reached up feeling along the cold counter until his fingers bumped into something he grabbed it pulling it down bug killer it read across the front warning poisonous was at the bottom he pushed up on the tip odof his toes and peered at the counter he could see the pot of tea then there was a spoon laid over it he opened the bottle of bug killer

Too his horror it was brown-green and had a sickly sweet smell just like the tea his fingers shaking he dropped the bottle everything seemed to slow down as the bottle hit the floor the soft clack it made seemed so much louder and it echoed in his ears mommy is it true? He thought horrified suddenly the door creaked open and leos head snapped towards it  there was his mother her mouth dropped open

Tears filled his eyes "m-mommy?" He whined his mother slowly walked towards him and when she was halfway she stopped and opened a draw leo suddenly was excited the tears disappearing that drawer had toys and candy in it wait no wrong drawer that one had forks and knives in it her hand slowly drew away from the drawer a knife in her hand she continued walking towards leo , he stumbled backwards

Pure terror flooding over him , he turned starting to run , right when he was almost to the door his mother caught the collar of his shirt yanking him back pain stabbed through his leg "why wont you just die!" His mother hissed into his ear all the kindness in her voice had disappeared "soon you'll be happy with your father and don't worry, dear ill join you"

Leo jerked awake panting he felt tears resting on his cheeks he rolled over on the thin blanket he was laying on every event in that dream had happened but that was when he was 6 he was now 16 and now leo had that dream almost every night he boosted himself up cupping his face in his hands why why why why does my life suck
