I almost lose my consciousness. I keep on cutting the belt. It feels like the time stops. I keep on cutting. My hands, it hurts. Blood that comes from every side of my body. The water that I take in me. Inside my nose, it starts to burn very bad. I finally manage to cut off the safety belt and try hard to push me out of the car. I hold the windows that still has sharpened glass on it. As I still push myself through the window. The glass cuts through my clothes and body. I have no strength and I have pain everywhere. My view goes black. I look back to the glass and the scar, I hold my wound and keep on swimming up. The water that goes through my nose and mouth at the same time and I finally manage to get out of the water. I breathe heavily and get a lot of blood out of my mouth because of the pain I got. I try to swim to the edge and hold myself tightly against on the wall. It rains heavily and I am stuck without any strength, I try to drag myself. 'Come on Aiden!' I push myself up, and fall back into water. 'No!' I moan of the pain and realize there is blood everywhere around me. 'The time flies away, that means I have blood loss, I have to be quick!' I scream in myself. I swim back up again and hold the wall again for a few seconds. The rain that gives me the cold, and the clothes that makes me weaker. I feel like freezing. Hoping to have a bit of strength to get back up. I hold the bars of the fence and pull myself up. While I try to get back up, I start to moan of many pain. And I finally make it closer to the ground. I put my head on the ground, feeling the weakness all over my body. I lie down on my belly and try to grab myself out of the water. I grab the wooden floor that has little openings and I throw myself on the ground. I finally made it. I am still alive. I lie down on the cold ground looking to the stars. I laugh and slowly stand up.. I am dizzy but I made it. Half of my body, I don't even feel, but I still feel like strong enough to walk like a walking dead.

I walk through the streets towards my house. when I arrive my home I realize it's about to get morning. the sun that is about to get up.
TJ runs up to me: 'Where were you? What the fuck happened to you?' He looks worried. Lee suddenly stands in front of me. 'You okay Aiden?' He questions me. 'I am fine.' I walk to my house and shake a lot while trying to open the door.

'I'll handle him you go to your house TJ' Lee tells TJ. He nods and walks away. Lee walks up to me and takes the key out of my hand and opens the door. I gradually look at him and I see he is looking really mad. 'Are-' 'shut your mouth.' He says while he is angry. 'I-' 'I told you, shut your mouth.' He repeats. 'I can do it by myself Lee.' I look unbelievable. 'Hmh..' He sighs. 'Go create your life, what are you even doing here? I can do it by myself.' I say madly and push him out of my house and close the door. 'Aiden!' He says while I walk away from the door. Lee looks at his town. He totally regrets for leaving and looks around. He tears up but walks away. I watch him walk away from the window.

I sit on my couch and start crying of anger. 'Lara... I am sorry.' I put some drugs again into my veins and lie down on the couch with many pain I struggle to fall asleep. After a few hours later I wake up at afternoon and I sit up. The sun that shines into my face when I look outside. I gently rub over my face and beard. After I stand up while having a lot of pain over my whole body. I walk up to the corridor and see that I left tracks with my blood. After I look at the mirror. I see many wounds, over my face, arms and hands. clothes that got ripped. I change my clothes and walk to my friend's house. I knock on the door with many pain that I feel over my body. 'Aiden?' he looks shocked. 'Andres, can you help?' I say while feeling really weak. He holds me to support me while walking inside. 'What happened to you?' 'forget that.' I say without caring and he slowly drops me on the couch. 'okay sit here and tell me where it hurts.' 'Thanks Andres.' I try to take off my shirt when he sees me struggle, he helps me take off my shirt and looks detailed to my wounds. He picks up his med kit and takes out alcohol with some cotton ball. 'So, Aiden.. Why did you leave without taking us with you?' He questions while cleaning my wounds. 'I had things to do Andres, but I'm fine now.' I say while having pain from the alcohol.

After half an hour he finally finishes his last stitches. 'You are fine now but you should take a lot of rest.' 'sure.' I nod not being serious. 'Aiden.. you can lose your whole body if you don't rest.' He looks worried.

'I said sure.' I nod again and walk away while raise up my hand in the air as a sign of thanks. 'poor kid.' he whispers in his self. I walk up to my house and see TJ standing there. 'You look better bro.' He says. I look very serious and hold his shoulders. 'Party hard tonight?' I wink. 'Sure bro, but you know.. I can't come your side becau-' 'don't worry I will give you a VIP pass.' 'Oh REALLY?' He says very excited and smacks my shoulder with his fist of happiness. 'Calm lil boy.' I say while having a little amount of pain. 'O-oh s-sorry!' He says very happy. 'See you tonight TJ' I walk inside and change my clothes. I walk back to the park. I always stay try to enjoy my life at least a little bit.. On this bench. I sit on the bench and take my drugs again. 'I.. I am so sorry Lara.. I couldn't protect you.' I say while crying quietly. After a few minutes I get very stoned. I just sit there staring to the pretty view of the park, with red filled eyes. I slowly see someone come nearby. I try to concentrate on that person, but I see everything so blurry. 'Aiden.. are you alright?' I feel two hands holding my face that slowly strokes my cheeks. I try to remember the voice but everything was so blurry I barely could understand. 'Mom?' I whisper to myself.

I feel more cold I feel sad, I feel broken. 'Who are you?' I look at the girl while having a lot of tears. 'It's me.. Lara?' She says worried. 'Wha.. what? Lara?' I sit up and start to get my vision back slowly. When I was about to hug her. She says: 'No, it's me Laura. I was about to get surprised you still remember me.' 'Oh that's you, the one.. who came to me that night wasn't it?' I look disappointed. 'Yes..' she says and stands up. 'I will get you some water.' And walks away. I watch her walk away and stand up myself and start dreaming while I walk to my pub that I ever started.

*Flashback*
6 years old Aiden

'STOP DAD! STOP!' I pull my dad's arm while he hits with his belt. 'I WILL MURDER YOU WIFE!' He yells 'AND YOU LITTLE KID STAY AWAY.' He pushes so hard that I fall on the ground. 'STOP STOPP JJ! don't touch my son!' My mother screams. She cries and tries to hit him. 'AAAGH! ENOUGH STOP WHINING!' He walks out of the house and closes the door with all his strength. 'Momm' I crawl to her and hug her. She cries and strokes my hair. 'Baby.. babyy are you alright my precious son' she kisses my head while hugging me tightly.

*flashback end*

I slowly come back to myself and walk into my pub. 'Eeeee Aiden welcome bro!' My friends says and I give them a bro hug and sit next to them. 'How's it going my man?' 'Good good.' 'I heard that boss died bro. What's his name again?' 'Kay or something?' They start to talk about it. While they talk I look around and see someone familiar sitting drinking some alcohol.

My eyes starts to get bigger, the man who tried to kill me last time. 'Aiden? Are you alright?' One of my friends say. 'W.. what. Yes? I pat on the shoulders of my friend that sits next to me. 'I'll be back in a minute.' 'Aight' he says. I see the man walk towards the loo. I quietly follow him. 'Hey you.' He stands still. I hold his shoulders to turn him around..
