There is no such thing as born with evil, we all grow up to be the person we want to be, or we end up dissapointing ourself. In reality it doesn't even matter who you become. In the end we will all die eventually, and all your hardwork will be for nothing.
**It all began when our mother left us, we don't know why but we were alone since then. My brother and I had to survive together. We were young so we were placed in foster care. I ended up with a caring family, my brother on the other hand never had a family. He grew up as an orphan. I was allowed to visit him once or twice a week. My new family couldn't afford to take him in. He understood, but I knew he'd love to be in my place.**
'James!' I look up and see my girlfriend, Nina. And by the look of her face, she doesn't seem happy. 'yeah?' I ask. 'Are you even listening to me? I just told you that we lost our chance for that new house in Boston' she was sad. I put my arms around her 'Don't worry, we'll get a new chance. And we're not in a hurry I still need to finish my work here'.
Comforting her was a challenge, she is a perfectionist. Litterally everything needs to go in her way, otherwise she'll get stressed. She moves away from me 'James, I was trying so hard to get this house, please show a little effort by helping me. I can't do this on my own! You told me you-' I take her head in my hands and kiss her. 'Listen my love, have faith in me. I'll handle this from now on, you just relax. We don't want to stress the baby, right?'. She smiles while I put my hand on her big belly. 'Fine, but don't take your time, otherwise we'll never leave this place'
After a while I was at my office. Work is so much stress, but I am known as the 'chill dude'. I can handle stress perfectly, coworkers often come to me for advise or help. Suddenly I hear the most annoying voice. 'Cupcake!' oh god not her. I turn around and see her, my boss Amanda. 'Amanda! Long time no see' I say that with an awkward smile. I wish 'long' would be a longer time than two days. 'Well i heard you were moving to Boston, why is that? Am I not paying you well enough?' she asks. 'No no no, it's just that eh-' it's hard for me to lie, but I just don't want to share my personal life with her. 'My girlfriend is pregnant so we need a bigger house and we found one in Boston' I am so proud of myself right now. This is new for me, lying so smoothly. I am grinning. She looks at me 'well congratulations then! Just don't forget to invite me to the party you'll be throwing for the little one!' and she walks away. 'yeah, of course'.
I look at my watch, almost 5pm. I start packing up my things, ready to leave exactly at 5. Man i hate this job. It's filled with women, all their gossip and chit chat. I need more interaction with men in my life. Nina doesn't like it, me working here. I get out of my office and check my phone. No messages, I really need friends. The lift is taking forever, I impatiently wait. Finally the doors opened. There is another man in there, wearing a hood over his head. Thank god, I thought I was the only man in this building. Should I greet him? 'hi' I said. And of course I won't get a response from a hooded man. Wtf was i thinking. Then we finally arrived on the ground floor I hurried my way to the front door.
What a relief finally outside, that man was creepy. Suddenly I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket. Aha, I got a message from an unknown number.
'Nice to meet you James'
Shivers run down my spine, a weird feeling is taking over me. A feeling I felt before. I think I know who this man was.
