KND series book 3: Family Issues

confession

Samantha:(in tears) how? What happens? I don't understand.

Samuel: in my rookie days, I was hated on picked on because of my brother's cold harsh nature while he was there, a little of which I tasted for my first year, Siobhan was picked on too, but I did my best to attract more attention to myself so she wouldn't have to suffer as much, so I did what I do best: act like a rich, stuck-up rude jerk.

However there was one particular person who hated me more than others,his name was Justin Mayweather. He made sure to make my life for the three years he had with me. I wasn't bothered by this, that is, until he went after Siobhan, I'll never get the image of Siobhan like that.

(clenches fist) covered in bloody bruises shaking in fear and crying harder than I've ever seen. I was so angry,but I knew if o attacked, it would make things worse,so I had to endure it. After he graduated, his little brothers were admitted in my final year,as soon as I set eyes on them,I made sure to make their lives a living hell for what their brother did to Siobhan, but one day I went too far.

I was supervising a group to clear an area meant for drills, when I overheard them talking behind a shed, insulting me, I wasn't surprised as I had done the same, but when they brought Siobhan into the matter, I lost it, I went there dragged them out and went all out on them, when my hands began to hurt from the beating I was giving them,I took off my belt, told some of his colleagues to hold them down while I flogged them with all my might, my mates tried to beg but I was so blinded by rage that I didn't listen,not even when Siobhan came, it wasn't until she pointed out that one was unconscious, then I stopped.

They were taken to the medical Bay for treatment. The next morning we were told that due to the injuries' gravity,one of them, Micheal, was blinded,while the other, Devin, had began having a series of countless seizures. The second I heard,I realised what I had done,I dropped whatever I was doing and ran to the bay to see them,as I ran in I saw Justin come out of their room, he looked at me in tears and said to me.

"I know that I was cruel to you,but did you have to take it out on my brothers? The bills for their are impossibly high,so for the sake of my mother's peace of mind, please leave. I think you've done enough damage."

At that moment, I realised what I had done, so I called the bank and asked to make a deposit for them treatment,I arranged for a surgery so that Michael could see again with the help of glasses,I sent money to their mother specifically to replace them periodically and his annual tests so that one day he MIGHT be able to see normally. But Devin wasn't as strong as Michael,he died in surgery. When I heard, I didn't know what to do,I felt so disgusted with myself,I looked at myself and I could still see his blood on me from that day.

I attended his funeral, but I didn't have the strength or courage to show my face to his family. After a week,I summoned the courage to go to their house and apologize, I knew it wouldn't do them any good, but it was the only way to gain a little bit of peace of mind. When I got to their house, it was his mother who answered the door, he looked exactly like her.

I had expected her to yell at me and call me names,maybe even let Justin beat me up, in fact I wish she had so I could feel a bit like I was getting what I deserved, but she didn't.

She welcomed me in, offered me sweets, even hugged me, but it wasn't until Justin walked up to me, hugged me and said he forgave and apologized for all he out me and Siobhan through,that I broke down right there,for the first time since I was 6 years old, I cried, I knelt before his mother and begged for forgiveness, she raised me up and hugged me, saying that I did what I could, and that I was a good person,I had given her other son a chance to see again, and had ensured his treatment for a few years. She said I was welcomed to come by anytime, even Michael welcomed me.

After I graduated, I refused to go any further, they just used the votes to cover up, they made sure that Siobhan was the only family member who knew, not even Trevor knows. I'm sorry father, but I couldn't bring myself to tell you all that I was a murderer. I could handle anything else, but I couldn't handle you hating me, or worse, being disappointed in me, your pride in me was the only thing that I could relate to a father-son bond. I'm sorry,I understand if you disown me, I don't blame you, or anyone for wanting to.

Frederick: Samuel-

Lucas: alright, enough chitchat, time for you all to die!

Shawn:(kicks the cage open) think again Lucas.

He had been silently making an exit with a Lazer on his MPC.

Shawn:(lasers all the kidnappees free)

Lucas:(pulls out a gun and shoots at Samantha)

Samuel: Samantha! (Pushes her) How dare you?!(punches him).

Lucas:(does same) guess that school made you a fighter AND a murderer!(laughs maniacally)

Frederick:(kicks his side) don't you talk to my son like that! Your fight is with me.

Lucas:I've wanted to do this for a long time

Frederick: likewise (punches him in the face)

Shawn: we have to find the exit.

Steven:there!(point to a computer)

Lucas: computer,self destruct!

The computer implodes.

Nicholas:guys there's a lever that says emergency exit!

Samuel:( pulls on the level) go go go!

A door begins to show.

Samantha: we're not leaving you here! Besides that lever is too heavy!

Shawn:(joins him) not anymore.

Steven:(lends a hand)

The door opens fully.

Samuel:just go!

Everyone leaves except them, Lucas, Frederick and Samantha.

Lucas:(points the gun to his head) initiate lockdown and follow up base explosion (shoots himself)

The room began to shake.

Shawn:the lever is useless now let's go!

As they run Samantha trips, Samuel turns and picks her up,but the door was closing fast.

Samantha: that's going be a tight squeeze for us both.

Samuel:then its a good thing only one of us needs to pass (pushes her through) I love you Samantha,I'm sorry.

The door closes fully.

Samantha: Samuel! No!

Shawn:(drags her) we have to go!

Samantha:I'm not leaving Samuel!

Nicholas:and dying will help? Samuel would never forgive me if I let you die(carries her up)

As they enter the car, the building explodes.

Samantha: SAMUEL!(breaks into tears)

Frederick:(hugs her) this is all my fault, I'm sorry.

Hiiiiiiiiii! Is Samuel really dead? Who knows. Please comment and vote

Just for the record, anyone who may think that Samuel went overboard with the beating (which he did but not the point) I practically wrote this based on my expense in my school,which is a military school btw. So for anyone who may think that beating is "abuse" or "inhumane", then you obviously haven't been to Nigeria before.
Anyway enjoy! If you still want to that is.
