#11 Am I Really Crazy? Or Are You Just Too Blind To See The Truth

Meliodas has been bullied his whole life, usually beaten until bloody or knocked out, ignored by others, left by parents and abused by his foster ones, or called enough names to make most people cry.

And he did. For years.. and years.. and years... But eventually, he ran out of tears, and along with it any emotions for himself or others. Something snapped in the once bright boy that others sought to destroy, and along with it his sanity.

He was once seen as the pathetic kid with a big heart and a polite nature that the other kids hated, and is now seen as the crazy one who no one knows what happened to, nor what he would do to others who got too close.

People still bully him daily, it had become a school tradition after all, but instead of begging them to stop or trying to defuse the situation like he used to, he breaks out into fits of laughter that was just as unnerving as his dull emerald eyes that used to be filled with such sadness and fear if anyone had bothered to look in them.

His face was either completely blank or filled with an insane look in its features that none of the other students could even begin to comprehend as their lives were still bright and flourishing ahead.

Meliodas's however.. had died a long time ago, the final thing keeping him together being forcefully ripped away from him.

He still remembered the day so clearly.

"No! Please! I promise I'll be good! I'll take care of him! I'll do whatever you say! Just please let him stay!"

"You pathetic brat! The only reason we're keeping you is because you're useful! You can clean and bring in money for us, he's too young for any labor. So.. just like the garbage he is, we're throwing him away since he lacks any more purpose. Just like we'll do to you if you don't shut up!"

"Please.. he's my little brother!"

"Not anymore. The services are already on their way. We'll send him back to the foster system saying he had disobedience issues."

"YOU CAN'T! If you do that it will lessen his chances of being adopted! At least let me go with him! I'm all he has left!"

He's all I have left..

The poor boy in question had frightened tears streaming down his cheeks.

"B-Big brother.. I'm scared. I don't want to leave you big brother! Please don't let them make me leave you!"

He was hysterical now and his actions were only received with a slap to the face.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM! PLEASE! HE'S JUST SCARED!"

"Relax ya piece of shit. I won't do anything that shows. I'm only scaring him so he'll shut up."

"Please don't do this.. please please please please..."

He repeated the one word like a broken record crying out to be whole again.

"Ask again and I'll make an even worse complaint. I know what to say to make sure this kid doesn't get adopted. So shut the hell up before you do something that will make your brother's life ten times harder."
