Li jun's brother

"Brother?"

What answered him was only the silence.
It's weird. His brother will always come back after half an hour when he goes to buy medicine. But its already 5hrs and 37mins and 2 secs. He knows that because his eyes never left the clock since his brother left.

He always does that when his brother left the house. It became a habit for him since...well since forever. Even when the two bad people (parents)who did bad things to his brother were still with them.

"Brother?" He tried calling again.

And yet again the silence greeted him. Somehow, at that moment, he thought of Aunt Li who suddenly never came back and he started panicking.

"Brother!brother!...brother!!" He screamed again and again as he wheeled himself towards the door.

When he reached the door, he placed his hand on the door knob. He was about to turn it when he hesitated. He remembered his brother telling him to never ever open the door cuz bad people will do bad things to him. And then he panicked once more.

'What if the bad people did something to his precious brother?!'

This time with no hesitation he turned the door knob but rite at that moment, the next door aunty's face popped out. It scared him
but he stayed quiet.

He wondered why she came. She was a nice person because she always gave him candy. But how about those people in dark blue behind her. Are they bad people? Why are they all wearing the same thing? He wondered. It's funny.

He looked at all of them but he couldn't see his brother.
"Brother! Brother! Aunty, where is brother?" He asked the nice aunty.

For some reason she was not smiling like usual and the people behind her too. "Li Lu your brother had been in an accident and he was just pronounced dead."

Dead? What's that? Ah, he heard it before. His brother said it before about the two bad people who always hit his brother. And also when Aunt Li left for good.

For some reason, he doesn't like it when the aunty used that word to talk about his brother. He doesnt like it. Not one bit. 'Maybe its because they were used on the two bad people too' he wondered.

"Aunty where's brother?" He tried again because it seems like she knows.

" Li Lu he's dead! Your brother is dead!"

"Okay but when is he coming back?"

"He is dead! He is never going to come back!"

"No he said he will be back he said it. He promised. We even did the pinky promise!"

" Li Lu, I'm sorry but your brother really isn't going to come back."

"Nooooo!!you're lying!! he is gonna come back he will come back he promised. Brotheeeeer!!!!"

"Li Lu-"

"NOOOOOO!!STOOOOP IIIITT!! DUN LIE TO MEEEE!!! HE'S COMING BACK!!! HE WILL BE BAAAACK!!!"

He cried and cried and screamed. It felt like something in him broke. Its impossible. The aunty is lying.

Brother said before people who lie are bad so this aunty must be bad and brother said that he must never trust bad people. So he won't.

He tried to get away but he was held back by the funny people who wore the same clothes. He struggled even more and even fell from his wheelchair but they would not let go.

'Why' he wondered. Why are they all stopping him from getting to his brother? He did not understand.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his neck and the last thing he saw was the nice aunty crying before everything else turned dark.
