Vanessa woke up randomly in the night not knowing her brother would die. She went downstairs to grab a snack when she heard a familiar voice screaming for help. She turned around confused but went back to grabbing a bag of cheetos. Meanwhile, her brother was in front of their of house about to say goodbye to the world. Vanessa was about to walk upstair when she heard a gunshot. She looked out the window to see her brother holding his heart and coughing up blood.
They shot him two more times and Vanessa ran out.
''Stop!!''
They looked at her and laughed. He shot him twice again and stepped on him as he was clinging to life. They ran away leaving him to die knowing the ambulance wouldn't come in time. Vanessa's vision of Damien became blury as it was filled with tears. She tried to stop the bleeding but it wouldn't stop. She could feel his heart beat rapidly fading away. She screamed and cried for help but no one heard her.
''Stay with me''
Vanessa said between tears. He slowly closed his eyes and his final moments were in his sister's arms.
Vanessa sat in the front row of her church listening about her mother speak about her brother. She tried to stop herelf from crying as she was talking about him but it was impossible. Her father consoled and tried to get her to finish the speech but she couldn't. She told him to get off the pulpit and he did confused.
''Without my son, I haven't been happy or stable. Part of my joy is now gone. I have fulfilled my purpose on earth so I think it's time to go''
Vanessa looked at her confused. She pulled out a gun making the crowd gasp. With trembling hands she shot herself in the head. She fell to the floor with blood leaking out of her head. People started screaming while Vanessa ran to her side. Memories of her last moments with Damien and she started to cry again. She held her in her arms hoping she would still be alive.
But she never realised that she wouldn't survive no matter how many people tried to save her. Her father just stood there with no emotion on his face. He didn't even express any concern. He just called his side chick saying his wife was dead as if it was good news.
Vanessa had a hurt look on her face as her dad laughed to himself on the phone. She continued to cry as her mother's life was fading away and her father didn't even care. Bystanders were screaming, running out and telling their friends on their phone.
Vanessa became depressed, suicidal, broken and hating the world.
Vanessa begged her father to not leave her at the adoption center but he didn't listen. He didn't care about her nor did he love her. All he did was abuse her mentally, verbally and physically. That just made her depression worse. One day, she tried to cover a lack eye he gave and her bullies would joke about her dad abusing her. This led her to almost committing suicide successfully.
She sat down with the other kids who were staring at the scar on the left side of her cheek. She just looked down not knowing she would meet her friends and potential lover in a mental instititution sooner rather than later. Her father dragged her out pushing her back into the car. She looked in the backseat to see a duffel bag full of her things. Vanessa was confused and didn't know where her 'father' was going.
They stopped at a gated facility with guards standing by the door. He threw her bag at her and she walkedin realising it was an institution. Vanessa looked back as the gates closed. As she walked in she caught sight of a boy sitting alone playing with his food.
She stopped her gaze when a security guard tapped her on the shoulder. Vanessa turned around and followed the security guard to her room.
They punched in the code for the room and she walked in.
