The Boy With White Hair

0.2

I stared out the window of the car, Dante was driving me to a therapist. Another month has passed and I was 100% not ok.

"Were here." Dante pointed out for me.

"Alright.." I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and got out.

"See you in a hour." He drove off.

"Hello you must be Travis Valkrum. I'm Mr. Stewart." The therapist stated.

"Hey..." I took my seat.

"So, I just want you to know not to hold back what you say. Go crazy. No ones gonna find out." He smiled.

"Alright.... Well you see, there's this girl... She's the girl with violet hair, better known as Mythera winters. I met her a few months back and... I instantly loved her. It's been a roller coaster with her. Our relationship went from highs to lows. Until one day.. Everything went perfect. We spent the day together in my bed. We had a great time... The next day she went to work, her friend crystal found out what we had done and chafed me for a hour." I smiled and wiped my tears. But that night in my bed she made me promise her we'd get married and have our happy ending and i said of course. I didn't know only a few weeks later I'd be forced to marry someone else, she's sleep with one of her other close friends then get shot in the head by her own dad." I glanced up at the therapist. He was shocked.
"I seen her while she was with my friend... I knew it hurt her when she learned of the arranged marriage. But I didn't know what I could do. We ended up getting into a small gift throw the window - our windows are next to each other. She gave me back a old sweatshirt of me and paced around whe room. When she finally stopped we were looking at each other then boom. A gun shot to the head. My friend walked in a few seconds later. He seen it and panicked... She's in a coma now and I don't know what I'm suppose to do. I can't handle it. I just want to hold her... I love her so much. All I want if for her back in my arms... My baby girl..." I felt my eyes water, what if she never woke up?

I left the therapist, Dante was waiting outside for me.

I got into his car and he glanced at me "so how'd it go..?"

"Fine. Now let's go home.."

Dante sighed "she'll wake up bro, don't worry."

"I have complete faith she'll wake up. I'm only worried about how long it'll be till she does." I sighed.

As we pulled into the driveway of our house I noticed Brendan waiting outside.

"Hey Brendan...." I stated as I climbed out of the car and walked towards him.

"Hey... I'm here to talk to you about Mythera..."

"What-why?"

"Because this isn't the first time she's been in a coma because of Trevor..." Brendan sighed, I'm assuming Trevor was her fathers name.

"Come in." I unlocked the door and walked inside.

"So tell me what happened..." I looked at Brendan.

"When she was 13 she was extremely rebellious. She wasn't afraid of anything. She would sneak out to go see Jordan, who was her closest friend at the time. She was never home. When Trevor got fired from his job everything... Changed. He started drinking a lot, he became harsh and cold making her mother, Rosalyn worry. One day Trevor snapped and hit Rosalyn... Everything went down hill from there. Mythera wasn't home so she didn't see it, but I did. Rosalyn was pregnant at the time. She got be up so bad the baby had to be removed. Her name would of been Bailey..." Brendan took a deep breath "Anyways, I became very over protective of Mythera around this time. I was glad she wasn't home so she wouldn't have to see it. But I started worrying about where she was all the time. I am her older brother, I worry. So I followed her. She was at some party. Given her looks she passed as 16, and got into a lot of Highschool parties. I pulled her out... It was my first protective action. I brought her straight home and we walked in on our father beating the living hell out of our mother. Mythera broke down..."

*flashback*

Mytheras POV:

"You're way too young to be drinking Mythera! You shouldn't drink. It does terrible things to people!" Brendan snapped opening the door.

I looked inside and witnesses something I never wished to see. My father was beating my mother.

"MOM!" I screamed and cried, she was lying on the floor. Lots of blood poured from her head and she was sobbing near death. "mom no!" I held her in my arms and looked up at my father "HOW COULD YOU?!?"

"Get out of here you little slut!" My father snapped with a harsh raspy tone.

"You're a monster..." I choked dragging my mom, Brendan helped and we got her outside screaming help at the top of my lungs the neighbors came.

***

Later that day, she passed away in the hospital.

*end of flashback*

"Mythera took the death very bad, she stopped leaving the house, she became very skinny and sick. She was fragile. Rosalyn was our everything and watching her die was.. It would be hard for anyone. Anyways, soon after our father started blaming Mythera for her death... He would beat her when I wasn't home. He did many awful things to her. Dragging her childhood, her innocence away. One day I walked in while he and his buddies were... Doing things. I screamed and went crazy pulling Mythera away... She passed out... And she didn't wake up. She ended up in a coma... For three years. On her 16th birthday she woke up. She couldn't remember anything of what had happened that day and I'm glad about that. But i insisted we moved. So we did. And 3 years passed. When she was 19 he found us. So we moved, here. And I guess he found us again..." Brendan swallowed the obvious lump forming in his throat "she's been through hell Travis. And I need you to make a promise."

I say there shocked, Mythera hand told me any of this... "Anything.."

"When Mythera wakes up. Don't hurt her, keep the promise you make to her. If you hurt her i won't hesitate to beat the living shit out of you.."

"I wouldn't never hurt your sister. She means the world to me... Everything with katelyn wasn't my choice. Im over her. I met Mythera and she's the only girl I can see myself with ever."

"So don't break your promise. You better marry my sister one day." With that, Brendan stood up and left.

With all this new information my head was exploding. I couldn't believe it, all Mythera had been through. I knew she had a abusive father. I knew her mother was dead. But I didn't know why or how till now... And it hurt me to know.

This chapter was extremely sad and serious, whoops! But I like it ;) Anyways, it's gonna be in Travis' POV for a while until Mythera wakes up... That is IF she wakes up :)
