Chapter 8 - Nightmares of blood.

Zander opens the door to the large dinning room and the table surrounded by his family made up of his two grandparents, two aunts, three uncles, five cousins then at the end his mother. "Zander come sit down and have dinner." Said his mother when he walked in. "Ok." He says as he sits down next to her and they start to eat as the adults begin to clean up Zander asks his mother. "Mom can I go play outside with the cousins?" She answered as she put the dish into the sink saying. "Sure and be safe don't go near the pond or the gators will get ya." "I will. Thank you." He said then runs outside with his cousins. After they came back from playing it was nine o'clock and his mother was putting him to bed. "Ok now go to sleep. I will see you in the morning. I love you." She says as she kisses his head and tucked him in. "Love you too." He said back then as she began to leave he asked. "Mom is dad going to do something bad?" She looked back and said. "No baby your dad won't do anything bad because he needs to be there for you." "Ok goodnight." He says back as he rolled over and went to sleep. After a few hours Zander wakes up to hearing screaming from the foyer then he gets up and quietly goes downstairs to see a splitting image of himself covered in blood and raping his mother next to a pile of his realities that all had their heads smashed in. "Stop!! Brain please stop!! Think about your son.." His mother yelled as she began to cry and tried to push him off then he stopped and stood over her grabbing a bloody bat. "Ok. I'll stop." He says as he begins to beat her skull in. Zander stood there in shock as he didn't know what to do then police sirens began to come closer and closer with each second. "Zander wake up. Wake up!" He hears as the large front doors of the house open letting a blinding light shine into his eyes. then he wakes up in his bed covered in sweat next to Sarah it was the morning after the party. "Zander are you ok? You are covered in sweat." She asks as he sits up. "I'm fine." He responds as he gets up and puts on his shoes then heads to the door. "Hey! You can talk to me if you are having nightmares." She says as she gets up grabbing his hand. "I said I'm fine. I'm going for a run." Zander says as he pulls his hand away then heads outside and around the corner and began to run not caring where he was going. After about twenty minutes he stopped and realized that he ran six miles so he stopped to catch his breath. "Wow look who it is. The homeless want a be fighter." Zander heard as he leaned against a bench then looked back to see Chris standing behind him with a black eye and stitches across his eyebrow also he had a bodyguard with him. "What do you want Chris? I already kicked your ass." Zander asks Sarah he turned around to face him. He answered saying. "You think that you really kicked by ass when I wasn't even trying. You know I can knock you out in a single punch." Zander laughs then punches him in the face breaking his nose and says. "So can I but you aren't worth the energy." Zander wipes the blood from his nose on Chris's jacket then starts to run back to the house. About thirty minutes later he walks into the house still covered in sweat to see Mr.Stone sitting in the living room. "Take a shower then meet me in my office. " He says as he flips through a folder. "Yes sir." Zander says as he heads to his room to see Sarah sleeping in his bed with his blanket rapped up around her. He sighed then takes off his clothes and takes a shower. After he finishes his shower he gets dressed and walks out to the office leaving Sarah sleeping on his bed. Zander sits down across from Mr.Stone infront of a fireplace in his office. "Sarah told me about what happened this morning and so I did some digging and I found this police file." Mr.Stone says handing him a file full of evidence, list of victims, crime scene reports and the witness report Zander gave eight years ago. "I still remember seeing the news broadcast for it. If this is what you are having nightmares about you need to talk to someone it's the best way to deal with it." He finishes say then Zander closes the file and throws it into the fire. "I've been trying to deal with it for eight years and I've always been having the same fucking nightmare every time I try and sleep. All I see is my whole family with their skulls smashed in and not matter what I do I can't stop seeing my monster of a father doing it." Zander says as he pushes his head into his hands. Mr.Stone stands up placing his hand on Zander's shoulder then says. "You will find a way to move pass it, but it maybe as simple as talking to someone try Sarah or a therapist. Also you smoked some strong fucking weed. I could smell it from the front door. How much did you smoke?" Zander laughs then responds. "About twenty grams cause I put two grams in each joint and we smoked ten of them. Sarah was high as fuck to I don't know how she stayed awake." Mr.Stone laughs and pats him on the back as he says. "Damn when I was growing up we smoked twenty grams in like three months and that's with four people." They laugh then Mr.Stone turns and says. "Well I'll have some weed dropped by at some point then. Look Sarah will be going back to school in two days and I would like you to go with her to watch over her. I'll give you more details on it before y'all leave for school." "Ok." Zander says as he gets up and walks past his room to see Sarah still sleeping. He smiles then heads into the gym to workout.
