(Christian Mora's POV)
"Give it to me, now." Anger pulsed through me, as I try to get the address to my father's house from my mother. "No, that man ruined everything for me. I lost everyone, everyone CC everyone. Your own grandmother wanted nothing to do with me." My mother explains.
"I want to meet my sister again shes eighteen!! Don't you want to see your daughter again?!?" Trying to make sense of the situation so she could give me the address.
"I want nothing to do with that child, she ruined everything for me. If you want to meet her so badly go to where we used to live!!!" she shrugs despite her outburst.
"You are the most horrendous mother in the world, YOU left HER, YOU ABANDONED HER, YOUR DAUGHTER!!!" Furious with my mother I leave and begin to drive to our old city Long Beach. Which was only a 30-minute drive, driving around our old neighborhood I try to remember what our house had looked like and was able to single out my old house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Pulling into the driveway I release a breath I didn't know I was holding and begin to make my way out of the car. I stand at the door and brace myself, knocking on the door twice. I hear a voice yell out "I'll be right there."
Slowing down my breathing I wait for the door to open when it finally does I come face to face with my father. "Uh Hello." I stick my hand out to which he shakes, "Who are you?" he questions me.
"I'm Chris Mora, your son." Recognition shows in his eyes, and he pulls me into a hug. "CC, my boy, what are you doing here?" He asks me as he leads me into his home,
"I came to meet Lila since today is her 18th birthday, I thought it would be a good da-" As I explain my reason, in the corner of my eye I spot a pool of blood. "What's going on? Where is Lila at, you sick fuck!" pulling out my switchblade I hold it to his face, waiting for his response.
"Did your mom ever tell you the reason why she took you away?-" He doesn't wait for my response "Of course not, on Lilas 5th birthday I got off work early to surprise your sister and mother, seeing as they shared the same birthday. I bought sunflowers for your sister and came home only to find your mother in bed with another man."
My face falls, this can't be true, mom said that he was abusive to her and almost beat her to death "And that's when you attacked her. But that doesn't explain the pool of blood."
"Your dear sister Lila, carries the burden of looking exactly like her mother, which hurts me so. I have to hurt her because her mother destroyed me." His voice cracks at the end of his sentence. This bastard abuses my sister, water begins to flow through the pipes within the walls, "Where is she?!" I question still holding the blade to him, "She's in her room." He crumples onto the kitchen floor.
Running up the steps I reach what I assume is the bathroom door and hear the water running, knocking on the door, there's no response, knocking again the same thing occurs. I begin to beat on the door, "Lila open the door please??" Looking at the ground I see water coming from beneath the door which has a red tint to it. No...
"LILA!! LILA, OPEN THE DOOR PLEASE!!" I run at the door breaking it down, only to discover a girl with slit wrists unconscious in the bathtub. Everything begins to move in slow motion, I try to stand as the red water begins to darken in color. Grabbing her I pull her from the bathtub and rush downstairs, only to find my father staring at Lila in horror. "What have I done." He mumbles and crumbles to the floor again in a heap of sobs.
Running out of the door I put her in the car and stomp on the pedal, "Stay with me please!!" Tears cloud my vision as I finally pull into the hospital, getting out I carry her in my arms and run into the emergency room "Someone help!! Please help my sister!!" Nurses rush with a gurney, placing her on it I try to follow them but am stopped.
Resting my back against the wall I slide down and sit on the floor, bringing my knees to my chest I replay the scene in my head. Her blood was everywhere, she-she tried to kill herself. The tears fall and I start to sob hoping, praying to god that she lives.
(3 Hours Later)
"Family here for Lila Mora?" after wrapping my head around the sentence I stand up and rush to the doctor. "Is she going to be okay?" the first questions rushes out of my mouth.
"Well, she's in a stable condition but is in a medically induced coma to help with her pain. I have some questions for you, why don't you follow me to my office." The doctor states, following her we walk into a corridor of offices until she unlocks hers.
Letting me in she offers me a seat and shuts the door, "Now, from what we have so far, this was a suicide attempt. But we need to know what it could've been caused by, which is what I need to ask you. You are her brother correct?" I nod as she takes notes, "Who does she live with, and what is her age?", "She lives with her father Marley Mora, she turned eighteen today, but this was my first time meeting her since I was seven years old."
"Hmm, Was there any abuse that you could confirm?" She questioned carefully, Slowly I nod "From what I know, our father abused her." Breaking down I let my tears fall again. This was my mother's fault if she had just taken Lila when we left she would have been okay, our father wouldn't have had the opportunity to harm Lila.
