Hi everyone!!! This is the first story I've ever written besides short stories and poetry. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do writing it! Feel free to ask questions or leave any feedback/comments.

Despite that there is already a mature content warning, I want to go ahead and reiterate that I wrote this story with an older persons view in mind. If you're easily offended by strong language and/or emotionally charged topics than this isn't the story for you :) With that being said welcome to my story! I'll try to update as regularly as possible <3

If you enjoy this story please vote, comment, and share! I love hearing from you guys and getting your opinions/advice. It would mean the absolute world to me ❤️❤️

Authors Note: so I've noticed that my writing in the beginning was subpar to what it is now. Being that I plan to eventually publish this once it's finished I don't plan on going back and editing it to a "final edit" finish. With that being said, please give this story a proper chance it does eventually pick up. :)

I stared at the clock. Each minute in this class feeling more like an hour. My philosophy teachers rambling being the ambient noise to my turbulent thoughts. Last night, I decided was the last time I was ever letting myself be the victim in this endless cycle of bullshit.

This is it.

I'm going to kill my step-brother.

I haven't figured out how or when but the sooner the better.

It wasn't as if I could go to my parents for help. They knew the majority of my situation and the rest..well they looked past it. My mom hasn't felt like my mom since my stepdad and his shady son came into our lives. I knew from the beginning that Joe would be a cancer in my life, spreading his lies, always making me look like that outlier in every situation. There was a time when I was 13 that Joe broke into my room at night while I was sleeping and stole my rabbit Cotton right out of its cage. I woke up to my mother's screams as she opened the microwave the next morning and found what remained of my childhood friend. When I walked out into the scene my mom began berating me while in the background Joe stared at me with all of the evil in the world hidden in those eyes of his.

They say the eyes are the windows of the soul, and it was at that moment that I knew things would only get worse for me.

Sometimes I would look into my mom's eyes and catch a glimpse of the person she used to be. The supporting, loving mother I grew up with, but as soon as I reached out it was almost as if she recoiled and a vicious scowl would soon replace the grief on her face.

The shuffling of papers brought me out of my spiraling thoughts and I caught the last bit of what my teacher was saying was due after the break. I rolled my eyes as I packed my things up. I don't even know why I'm taking these classes if I had had it my way I would be traveling the world and never looking back. Unfortunately, life doesn't come cheap and even traveling has its price.
