There was 6 of them. 6 boys who all came from the rich lifestyle. They all had parents to go back to and siblings at home, but for once, none of them wanted to go back. They had all been put in boarding school, so why should they go home when they knew that they were unwanted? No child goes 'haywire', without a reason. There always has to be a reason for a child that comes home at midnight and leaves before anyone else wakes up. But that doesn't happen when everything is paid for and you have the house that everyone dreams of. How could it be that these 6 boys all come from the same mafia families, where they are given all the opportunities they could ever want. No one ever saw what happened behind the closed doors, or that there was a real reason behind everything of who they were. "Why did it have to be me? Why couldn't it have been someone else? No one gives a damn about me, so there isn't any point in hurting the little boy that you killed years ago" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *TW: some themes mentioned may be distressing for some* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 20.08.23 Finish:
