Wendy's p.o.v

"My brother?"

I was speechless. Questions by questions were roamed in my mind and I didn't know where to start but of course it would start of with this.

"Why him?" I asked Kellin and looked at him in the eye. He scanned my face and I could tell it seemed hard for him to create a word maybe because the person he was about to kill next was my brother.

"He.. He's a dealer and is working for this drug company."

When that word spilt I froze. I never thought my brother, that was raised the same as me and as equal as me would walked into the wrong path. Where did my parents went wrong that he became this way? Why would he do such things? For money of course but there was plenty of jobs out there he could've choose instead of this. What mom would think looking at her son messing around with drugs? My mom was so against it since it had ruined many life including herself.

Yes, I hated my brother. But I cared because he was the one I grew up with. I also had to take care both of my brother and my father for the sake of my mom. What would she think that I failed?

I didn't realise that I was crying. Kellin tried to pat my back but I flinched on the contact of that. Angst was crawling all over me now and the next thing I knew that I was running up the stairs while Kellin shouted my name. I went to Vic's room and locked the door shut and leaned against it.

"Wendy? What's wrong? Open up." I heard Vic spoke softly. It calmed me a bit but it didn't mean that I could just let him in with myself like this. "I-it's nothing Vic. I just need time." I stuttered out. Vic stayed silent from the other side. He knew I was not okey and something was wrong. Finally he sighed and I heard his footsteps walking away.

I sat down on the cold floor and hugged my knees. I thought about all the things that went wrong in my life. When my mother died, thinking that my father would probably hated me right now, my brother was a dealer, and that I've did Vic wrong. I knew it was just a mistake but I couldn't help to think that I was a disgrace for kissing Kellin and even worse, letting him. I didn't want Vic to find out I was a cheater. I also didn't want to not just let it slide and carry all the guilt from now to the rest of my life.

I became nervous and my breathing was uneven. I couldn't breath properly and usually Vic would help me with this but now he was not around and I didn't know what should I do.

Then the voices in my head came and whispered things that was triggering. Could anything go even worse?

Finally I collapsed and knowing that I locked the door. I'd probably die by tomorrow.

Kellin's p.o.v

Wendy hadn't got out for twenty minutes straight now and everybody in the room including Papa and Mama were getting worried. I looked at Vic who tend to looked at me too.

He was glaring at me and perhaps maybe even creating idea to kill me in his head right now. I knew I was wrong though. I shouldn't tell her.

I should've just stay quiet. But then when Papa saw me and Vic sending looks he coughed and pat my shoulder. He motioned me to come to the dining room so we could have a talk alone.

"You tell her?" he asked me. I nodded and looked down feeling guilty. Papa rubbed my shoulder and when I looked at him, he was sending the look of sympathy. God, why would just telling a small thing would gave a big problem? Was I wrong right now or Wendy was being dramatic?

When we went back to the living room I didn't saw Vic so I guess he went upstairs and persuade Wendy to come out which he did.

I heard a big bang upstairs and it actually surprised me and made me took a good cautious since I was trained. Then I heard a shuffling of footsteps going down the stairs and there I saw Vic's terrified face.
