The Other.(Discontinue)

When was your first broken heart? Why? What happened? How does it feel? It's hard isn't it? It's feels like the whole world stepped on your weak soul. Leaving you with the most hurt feeling ever.

Because broken heart is just another sad feeling that you couldn't describe.

                                ***

The warm feeling from the fireplace filled the room. There's a cold wind outside that no one wanted to came close to. In that room there's two kids. A boy and a girl. And that is me. The boy. The girl was my older sister.

We both sat on the warm rug. Sat facing each other but not really looking at each other. There's a doll house near us. We both playing it. But I didn't paying much attention. My mind's already got interested to these bunch of covered papers that people called book.

I always loved it. Those words that printed on these papers. I loved how pretty those words stand for. How they describe and tell a stories.  It's just beautiful.

"Willy! Stop reading and play with me!" Ashley yelling at me.

I hold my book really tight and stand up. "I don't wanna."

Ashley stand up too. "Why not?"

"Because, none of my friends play with dolls. They said boys don't play with doll." With those answer, I can see that Ashley's about to cry. And she did cry.

"What's going on in here?" Mommy coming in to the room. We both rushed to her. "Mommy! Willy don't wanna play with me anymore!"

"But the boys don't play with dolls." We both keep arguing while Mommy just laughing at it.

She pat our heads. "Ashley, why do you want to play with Will? He doesn't want to play with dolls, you know."

"But, when I play with Willy, he always play everything with my rules. He never arguing about it."

Mommy smiling, "What about you, Will? Why you didn't want to play even your sister only like to play with you?"

I sighed deeply, "No, my friends said it was stupid. And I only want to read my books."

Ashley starting to argue with me. We both arguing. Really loud. Mommy just smiling and then pat both of our heads. "How about you two play other games instead?" We both stopped arguing. And then we both looked at Mommy. We finally agreed.

"Alright then, now, it's time to sleep." Mommy hold both of us and carried us on both of her arms. "Kiss goodnight to Daddy!" Ashley reminded. Mommy says ok and then took us to Daddy's office room.

"Daddy!"

"Oh hi, kiddos." Daddy greeted us happily. We both got a goodnight kiss from Daddy. After that, Mommy carried us to our bedrooms. We slept in a different room. It's because I don't like being in the same room as Ashley. She's a little messy. Definitely the opposite of myself.

"Goodnight, Mommy." I said as Mommy turned off the light and closed the door.

Just in second, I closed my eyes then easily fall asleep. And then, my mind started flying in to my dream island.

There is so many things going on. But, I can't explain the whole thing. All I can say is it's feels relaxing. And I just let myself follow the story in my dream.

But then, it's so blurry. I mean, everything. And then it's disappeared. It's black. But I can heard a wind from the outside. Oh wait, did I just woke up? It is I guess. It's pretty chilly. I pulled my blanket and covered my whole body.

But then. I feel something. I need to go to the bathroom. I can't handled it anymore. I jumped off the bed then ran outside, to the bathroom.

For about a few minutes, I finally done. I walked back to my room.

And that's when I heard someone talking. I didn't recognize this voice. It was from downstairs. I look my head through the fence. I saw Mommy, and Daddy, oh wait.. there's someone else. Two people.

They are doing a conversation. It's just a normal conversation, but why they feels so intense.

I tried to look at it from a different points. My stomach dropped as I finally the two people that faces both of my parents. I can see them holding a gun, pointed right to my parents throats.

"Mommy.. Daddy.." I whispered to myself. I was trembling.

".. You stole from us, Crawford. You took our position! And makes us got fired!" It's a man's voice. But this one has a softer voice. "You will pay for this!" The other man with a deep voice pointing his gun to Daddy's head really close.

"Roy.. Keith.. look, if you want a job, I can make that happen. I can hired you both." Daddy's tried to reason with them. "Are you nuts! I don't want your goddamn job! We want that position that you took away from us! We deserved that promotion better than you, Asshole!" That soft voice man started to losing his temper.

This is getting worse, I need to tell Ashley. She's older, she knows what to do. Just when I'm about to go get Ashley, I heard Mommy's crying. But it's kinda sounds mumbling. I tried to look at them for one last time.

That's when things got worse. They both pulled the trigger at the same time, let the bullets get through those heads. There's a blood coming out from there. Those body felt off the ground.

I felt too. For a second I couldn't catch a breath. But I finally managed to run back to my bedroom and in to my bed.

I was trembling. Scared. Shocked. I can feel goosebumps all over me. And a cold sweat too.

I tried to close my eyes. But somehow all I can see was the look of those body that laying on the floor, death. With bloods everywhere around them.

But I have to pretend to be asleep. No matter what.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of a door being opened. The sound is so close, so close that I can even tell that it was the door to my bedroom.

The next thing that came was a creaking voice of footsteps above the wooden floor. It got closer to me. Closer. Closer. Then stopped. Right next to me. Then, I can feel a hand making it's way to the blanket and pulled it off.

"Will... Are you awake?" It's Ashley's voice. Shaking.

There's a relief feeling inside me. But somehow I can't move. Ashley grabbed me and dragged me to my closet. She closed it and then sat next to me. Hugging me. Her other hand holding a phone while shaking and trying to dialing a number. 911.

While shaking and whispering, Ashley tried her best to describe everything. How those bodies were laying on the floor. With bloods everywhere. And a bullet holes on their heads.

We both could heard thump on the floor downstairs. And other noises as if they were searching and mess everything up.

I can feel Ashley's hand tried to hug me and calm me down. Even though she's the one who more needed that at that moment.

A few minutes passed. The police haven't show up yet. My head feels dizzy. My body feels heavy.

And then, it's all went blank.

                                  ***

Today.

Ashley looking at me. Almost crying. These whole time she thought Mom and Dad was dead because of some bulgar. No, it's everyone thought so too.

They're murdered for a revenge. That's what happened.

Ashley took a deep breath. Then she looked at me, "And everyone thought it was a bulgar? Oh God! Why!?" She's screaming. I just crying in silence and looked at her, "I'm sorry for being such a coward."

Her hands making their way to reach me and hugs me. We both crying. At that moment my heart is broken, so is Ashley's.

                                   ***

I'm sorry I that lied. I'm sorry for everything. But I was broke. And all I can do is denying it. Denying things that really happened never happened. It's just too hard to admit it. But you do understand, aren't you? Because you ever did the same thing. Right, pretty little liars?
