I remember...

"Madison hold on to me!"

Everything that happened that day.

"Where are my parents?!"

June 29th, 2002.

"What do you mean you couldn't save them!"

The day I lost everything.

"I FUCKING HATE YOU!"

My past?

A blur.

A mistake.

One led me to forcing a smile.

All of the tears I've shed are rivaling the sea itself.

I wish I could go back and fix it. But we all know that is a helpless thought.

"Mom look!" I exclaimed. Holding her hand pointing towards the cruise ship. She chuckles at my excited pointing and interjections as my mother, father, and older brother walk with me boarding the cruise ship. I pull my suitcase behind me with a ear to ear smile.

Upon boarding the ship. My mother and father brought our belongings to our room which left my nineteen year old brother with me. We looked out onto the sea's glistening waters as they calmly swayed back and forth. "You're going to college next year?" I ask him. He nods, "You're going to be able to do the same when your older Madison. Your a bright child."

His words felt warm and showed that he was mature. I wanted to be like him. Calm and collected but at the same time I wanted to make people happy. He would listen to me all day all night no matter how much he was away from me.

My mother and father returned to the deck where my brother and I stood with sun reflecting on our eyes. "We'll have fun sweetie I promise," My mother kissed my forehead and hugged her once she let go of my grip. My father looked down at my smiling face as I was beaming with joy.

My mother and father were loving parents. They cared for me well and I had never gotten into a fight with them. I was an obedient child, innocent.

The sunny day began to grow dark and stormy. I felt the boat shake as I look out of my window. "We are going through a storm we will be out of the storm in half an hour." A man spoke over the intercom.

"Dad are we going to be alright?" I ask. He smiles and nods his head. "Of course we are,"

I believed him.

I truly believed him.

But,

he lied.

The ship rocked heavily and I began to let out silent tears clinging onto my mother and father as they held me tight. My brother was huddled with my family as well as we stayed together. "M-M-Mom, D-D-Dad?" I sobbed. My father wiped away my tears that were staining on my cheeks. "We're going to be fine Madison."

Why did you keep lying to me dad?

Why?

Why?

Why?!

~+~+~+~+~

I felt myself jolt up in bed. After my breathing returns to its regular pattern. It was night time...

My nightmare had relived me of the rest of the horror. I got up quietly, making sure nobody heard my footsteps. I silently run up to the roof.

I sit down with my feet hanging off the couch looking up at the stars. I squeezed my eyes tight as my brain sent more images of the past I was in.

I remember almost drowning under the ship as I got caught in the boards. I was forced downwards by the ship. I had lost consciousness but my father saved me. Costing his life. My mother had been reported missing and nobody good track her whereabouts. My brother lived but I screamed at him and blamed him for he was the one who suggested going on the cruise ship. I eventually lost contact with him and we don't talk to each other.

Who am I kidding. My father died in vain. It is not like I would be successful in life anyway.

[a/n] Okay I'm like a sadistic emo child looking at this work of art I made. Like... I listen to Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Melanie Martinez, etc. and I love it when people are in pain in the fictional world like...

WHAT.

IS THAT NORMAL?

NO?

OKAY.
