Brian...
That was not a good flashback. I woke up once again. A horrible headache attacked me. "How long was I out?" I saw the whole scene. It was night every parent was there. My mom was the only person still awake staring off into the distance. "Hello, mother," I said, looking as directly as possible at her. "Hello, Te- I mean Brian." "Ugh!" What a bit- I can't think of my mom like that.
"I'm sorry it's just-" "I know!" My voice rose in aggressiveness. I chewed on my lip why don't I have any family that's with me? "So I'm a grandma?" "No. If you can't be there for me, you can't be there for him." "Who knows? Maybe you'll just make up another excuse! Oh, but you look so much like your grandad!" I mimicked her.
"BULLSHIT." "I'm sorry, Brian! You know what happened with you and 7 years ago!" I'm sorry? I'm sorry? Does she think she can just fix this like in books or shows just by saying I'm sorry? That's not how shit works! She abandoned me for years! My sister was my father she was my mother too! "You can't fix this by saying sorry. You know what? You can't fix this at all."
She was hurt. Just how I wanted her to be. Just how she made me feel. Every time I knocked on her door, every time I walked in just to say hello. She pushed me away like I was him! Like I deserved it. You know what? I'll prove that I never deserved it I'll be a better person a better everything than he was. "This argument is over," I said, closing my eyes but not sleeping. I'd rather have flashbacks from all the pain than look at her.
I will strive to be like Great-pa. I'm confident I woke them up on accident. The only one shameless enough to pretend they weren't sleeping was Sapphire. Her vibe was different. She acted solely off of emotion earlier today. "What?" She asked. We were literally right next to each other in the bed arrangement.
"You're shameless, you know that?" I said, turning to her. I finally had enough strength to move. "That was mean… But true so I'll accept it." I smirked. She gasped. "Did the great unbreakable depressed, edgy sad Brian Ryhem just SMILE!?" Yup, getting excited over just a smile, her whole vibe changed almost like she was more like a kid now.
"Now that was different. Earlier when you talked all of that shit, I was genuinely worried!"
"Well I…
1 week later... 4 weeks… Sapphire first-person…
"This tastes horrible!" I heard Tenner complaining, "Well, you have to take it. Or do you want to stay in this hospital longer?" Haley said while trying to force-feed Tenner. I was still cast up to the max. Every bone in my body had been broken at one point, so a full-body cast was needed. They gave me numbing drugs to make sure it didn't hurt.
"Tenner, just do what the lady says." Tenner's mom said, exasperated at his complaining. He groaned and drank the copious amounts of medicine. Once he finished downing it he looked out of it. Hmm, I feel like there's a word for that. High. He looked really, really high. "Sghralmsomlap"
He said some really weird gibberish. He fell right asleep. "Uh, is he going to be okay?" Raimy asked pointing at him. "Yeah, he's just sleeping." (Think when someone overdosed on melatonin gummies and had a lot of weed.) "Just sleeping, eh?" I looked over to a completely knocked out Tenner.
Totally healthy, totally healthy. I tried to reassure myself.
3 weeks later…
Finally, out of the hospital, it's hard to say goodbye to all of my friends, but I guess I'll finally be alone. My mom rolled me out in a wheelchair. I feel like an old person. "You're finally out! How does it feel to smell the outside again!" "Feels terrible," I said, saying what I actually thought.
She looked slightly offended, then it was all silence as we traversed through the green and pink sanctuary we passed under on our way to mom's car. It all looked so black to me. We eventually arrived at our car. I was carried into the sleek-looking car by mom. "We're going home!" Mom started the car.
We drove through a boring area with sun-nice medium-sized houses all with two floors and the same color scheme and a similar architectural build. We passed through a city area with high crime drugs human trafficking. Where we used to live, the place that forced me to kill for the first time, that is so blurry. Why can I barely remember the part where I was killing?
I suddenly had a hard time breathing sweating. Flashbacks "Are you ok--- are--- yo--- o-----"
Suddenly I feel like I was pulled from underwater "Are you okay?" A violent headache ran through my mind. "Uh yeah, just a hard time breathing nothing much."
Mom frowned and turned away. After an hour, we were home. I rolled myself to the elevator and stopped at my room. I sighed and entered the dark space.
