If It Never Happened ⚣

Chapter 4- January 13th 2017

I got into the car, followed by Byran, Madisyn, and Michael, the twins talking about how creepy the movie was, but I simply didn't see it. Sure that guy was crazy but he didn't need to eat girls. Yes, Split isn't a movie I'd take a ten-year-old to.

I know they still enjoyed it, and for a silent moment, I wondered if True would've like to see the movie. He probably wouldn't of, but did we even ask? No.

Yep, mom left True, a fifteen-year-old boy at home by himself, in New York, and left him with his bike keys without setting any rules. Such a great mother she is, I really didn't want to leave True home. But I wasn't going to voice that to mom, who would obviously disagree with me.

Surprisingly I was once really close to True, I really was. But we weren't close now. I don't really know what happened, one day he just sort of distanced himself from me, and I could never explain why. And boy, it made me so mad! He deserves the words I say to him, the slaps I give him, and the punches that touch his cheeks.

Maybe that's why I started hanging out with the twins and Bryan. I think I began to rub off on them, because the twins treat True badly now, but Bryan doesn't, he said he doesn't understand why we treat True so badly, but I don't think Bryan understands the depth of the issue, and I think he's too young to understand right now. But give it a year and I think he'll see why we pick on True if what you call what we were doing was picking on him.

I truly love the other siblings though.

It is kind of hard hiding the fact that I know about dad's career when the others don't. I know dad wouldn't trust Truth with his career choice. I know the others are too young to know that dad worked in the mafia, and that's where all our money came from.

I used to take anti-depressant pills, but it's not me who needs to take pills I think it's True and Bryan. Bryan has recently been down so after we get home moms going to take him to a doctor to get a professional option and see if he needs anti-depressants. And after that, get his braces tightened as well, yeah he has braces but he's going to get them out soon, I know that much.

It's kind of sad. Mom is hurrying and jumping on getting Bryan anti-depressant pills but True's been looking depressed for years and as mom done a thing? No, not at all and I think True needs anti-depressants so much more than Bryan but does that make mom think she needs to get True some pills? No, not at all.

I love True, but with his depression, I think he may be pondering suicide and though we may treat him badly, this household can't function without him. It wouldn't work right. I know that much. I'm afraid True might kill himself too because then I'd never be able to find out why he distanced himself.

Even more importantly, I'd never be able to apologize for how I've been treating him and that scares me more than anything else.

After a couple more minutes I see the mom pull into the long driveway and then I saw our mansion of a house. I'm actually surprised that this house has survived my childhood. This poor house has been through five kids, one fire that was my fault, two floods, and a minor earthquake. The fact that this house is still standing is a miracle by itself. I actually love this house, it was perfect for our family. It was three story's tall, had a basement, a pool in the backyard, fancy cars, a great school, and that was all I needed. I know True would disagree with me. I'm spoiled as fuck, he's living in a closet-sized room, wasn't really welcome inside the house, and I know he didn't feel safe here. I wouldn't if I lived in his shoes.

I looked at the clock on the dashboard, 4:17 p.m. I frowned. We'd been gone for three hours, and I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and I couldn't figure out why but something told me that I wasn't the only one feeling it, Bryan had an anxious face, Madisyn kept twiddling her fingers and confused look on her face, Michael had a lost expression on his face. They all knew something was wrong, I knew it. But what was it? I didn't know and it was bothering me.
