I just stood there as he pointed the gun to her head, the man with black eyes, I watched as the tears rolled down her face; I watched as the man cocked the gun, as he pulled the trigger, as she fell to the floor, as he ran out the door. My mother...she was gone.
I heard the sirens, I heard my own screams, I heard my fathers cry, my brothers plead. "Mum! Wake up! Please!" He called over and over and over again, my father holding her limp form "Kells, please wake up! C'mon baby! Just wake up!" I heard him yell, I just sat there screaming at the top of my lungs, my brother holding me close, my father cursing me "You should of done something! You just stood there! It should of been you!" He cried, I cried, my brother cried. We all cried.
••••••••••• a 9 years later •••••••••••••I once had the bluest eyes, I once had the biggest smile, I once had a loving mother, loving father, loving brother...a loving family. Till God took my mother from me, my father took my smile and my brother took my emotions.
I woke up with eyes as black as the night sky, my smile as dead as the sun at dawn. I walked towards my wardrobe and put on a black top with a white hoodie. I remembered to bandage up my wrists because that's the only sort of thing I can feel.
As I walked out my brothers voice was the immediate thing I was greeted with "Morning slut," I looked up and stared blankly at him "Go fuck yourself." I earned a punch to the face and a black eye. Honestly I couldn't care less, I had no love, no friends...nothing.
As I walked into the kitchen I froze, dad had a gun to his head, I honestly didn't care and started to walk past him but my brother screamed "Camrynne! Stop him!" I grabbed the gun out of his hand and said "He wouldn't do it, he's not drunk enough." I shrugged and walked to school, I looked at all the kids in the courtyard, their bright and virbrant eyes, filled with colour, filled with emotion. I pulled my hood tighter around my head and kept walking, I didn't speak at school, no body knew my name, no body knew who I was and no body knew my past.
After my mother died we moved away and I guess I became invisible...my thoughts were interrupted as I heard a voice "Who are you? Are you new here?" I shrugged my shoulders and walked passed them. They didn't like my answer and grabbed my wrist, I yelled in pain and snatched my hand back and let a tear of pain fall from my eye. "Oh you don't know who the emotionless freak is, well we'll show you." Sabrina, the bully of the school, grabbed my hood and tore it off my head and everyone saw my eyes, my black eye, my few scars from the beer bottles smashed over my head.
The people surrounding us looked at me in pity, including Sabrina. I shrugged and walked away with my hood off. Everyone followed my figure, my shoulders slouched, my face blank and no care in the world. I heard rushed footsteps and the guy from earlier was next to me "My names Lucas, what's yours?" I stopped and looked at him and I saw not black but slightly dull eyes, "Camrynne." I said blankly and he looked quite shocked I spoke "You actually talk? Everyone said you were a mute..." I shrugged and nodded. I smirked to myself and said quite plainly "Yeah, that was the intention, but I speak. If only I had no vocal chords." He looked at me shocked; but he actually shocked me with his next question"Why are you like this?" I stopped and felt the tears weld in my eyes and I saw him look shocked "My mother was murdered, my father blamed me and my brother is abusive." I said and shrugged and walked a lot quicker.
For the rest of the day Lucas pestered me, it was annoying but kind of comforting?
As the bell for school to finish rang I walked out of the school and Lucas decided to walk me home, as we got to my house I saw the sluts car was parked there. "I should probably leave, you probably don't want me to meet your parents..." he said looking down.
"Fuck what my dad thinks, he's probably too drunk to know who I am..." I slightly chucked and felt the slightest bit of happiness. As I walked in my brother was standing there "Who the fuck is that?" He said looking to Lucas, I shrugged and grabbed his hand and pulled him to my room. I then locked the door and sat on the floor and held my knees close to me. "Cam? Are you okay?" Lucas asked, i shook my head no and silently cried. To take my mind off of the stress Lucas asked me about my passions and I told him I like to sing, he asked me to sing a song for him so I did.
As I finished the song Lucas had tears running down his face and his eyes were black but they soon turned to the greyish blue they were before, "Whats with your eyes Lucas?" I asked, he looked shocked before he answered there was a slam on my door, "Open this ducking door you mistake!" I heard my dads voice boom through my room, I looked at Lucas "Get in the cupboard, now." I demanded, he did as I said and I unlocked my door and as soon as I did his beer bottle slammed into my face...shattering upon impact.
Lucas' POV-
I could see through a small crack in the cupboard and I saw what her father did, I realised why she didn't have any emotions."Ryan told me you brought a guy home!" He screamed, I didn't see her flinch and no tears were in her eyes, she just shrugged and stared blankly at her father "Why do you care? You pathetic excuse of a father." She said coldly, this earned her a slap to the face. Again she just stared at her father and screamed at the top of her lungs, "You say I'm a mistake!! You say I should die!! What would happen if I actually did!! What would happen if I held the gun to my head!! What would happen if I jumped off a building!! What would you do?! Drink more?! Turn on Ryan?! Treat him like a disgrace?? Treat him like shit?? LEAVE HIM FUCKING EMOTIONLESS!!" She then slammed her fist into her fathers face and shoved him against the wall. I was shocked.
Camrynne's POV-
As I slammed him into the wall I leaned in close to his face "I was 6, what was I supposed to do??" I asked, smirking slightly, I had given up and was ready to leave and join completely with the emotionless mafia. They were a group of people who tortured those who had emotions but decided to do bad with them. He started to cry, I had no idea he was completely sober. "I needed a reason for her death, so I blamed you. I have no reason to love you; your not even my daughter." I was shocked, I had no idea what he was saying. "I got the snip after Ryan was born, your mother got a sperm donor, your just a mistake, a booty call!" He laughed sadistically, "I bet that boy doesn't even like you..." I nodded and agreed with everything he said. I walked to the cupboard and opened it; Lucas stepped out and he looked scared and that's when I said "Go home Lucas." He nodded and walked out the door.As he was about to get to the door my dad pulled out a gun and shot Lucas in the back of the head, I screamed and I saw it, those familiar black eyes, that brown hair, those smirking lips...the monster...the thief. "You killed her, I can't believe you killed her!!" He nodded his head yes and he laughed and I ran out the door but before I did, I grabbed his gun and shot him and myself in the head.
