loneliness does make you go crazy

[16]

Before Taehyung started he shortly looked to the sky, then back to me.
"We're friends now, right? Friends tell each other what's wrong, right?"
"Yeah"
"I hope this won't affect the way you are treating me" he sighed
"I saw you looking at all the family pictures and found out that I'm on no one, right?"

I nodded. Even though we haven't known each other for a long time, it did actually feel like we were on a good way.

"Well they aren't my biological parents"
he explained
"So you're adopted?" I concluded
Taehyung swayed his head multiple times
"Sort of. My dad didn't want to give me away, actually"
"And your mom?"
"I haven't seen her anymore at some point, after my parents quarreled"
"About what did quarrel?"
"Things happened before, so I need to go back to when I was roughly five"
"Okay tell me everything, I'm listening"

"I was a normal child, I guess. I enjoyed playing in a playground, like other kids. But I wasn't an only child, I had an older sister"
"Had? Sorry to interrupt you.." then I let him continue
"Yea I had one. She was seven at that time. On a hot day, me and my sister were playing on our nearby playground, I told her that I wanted to have more shovels for my sandcastle, she told me she would come back as soon as possible and bring some more shovels. But she never came back, so I went home and wanted to ask what took her so long. I asked both of my parents, whether my sister was in her room. Both of them looked at me confused, I explained everything. Suddenly both of them wore their shoes and told me to stay at home. I didn't know what was going on"

Taehyung stopped talking.

"You don't need to tell me, if you don't want!" I said
"No I want to. Well my parents were out for roughly two hours, when they came back, they immediately asked wheter she had come back by now. She didn't. My mom bursted out in tears and fell on her knees, 'Why is mommy crying' I asked my dad, he didn't answer either, instead he called the police. The police came, they asked me what happened and I told them everything. My mom sent me to my room and told me to wait there.
After a week they found her"
"Really? Where was she the whole time?" I asked out if curiosity

Taehyung sighed. "In a dumpster with nothing on and.."

I already knew in what direction it would go, so I slid closer to Taehyung and put my arm on his shoulder.

"Anyway" he said "My parents were awfully sad, understandably, so was I.
She was my best friend after all.
My dad decided to lock me up in my room, he was too scared to let me go out anywhere.
I lived like that for about three to four years"
"Didn't you go to school?"
"No, I was homeschooled" he answered "They would only enter my room when it was time to eat.. My mom was against his idea and yeah.. She always tried to convince him to stop locking me up, but he wouldn't agree"

Interesting..

"My mom always gave me company, when my dad wasn't around, since he didn't allow anyone to see me, even my own mother"

He sighed.

"Loneliness does make you go crazy, after some time"
