1 expressionless face

Crash! A young boy bends over to pick up the trash that had fallen out of the bin. The boy hears two sets of footsteps running toward him as a tear falls from his eye as he looks up. Standing in front of him was a skinny woman and a tall man both with angry expressions on their faces. The boy knows it was the wind that caused the trash bin to fall over but there was no use in explaining. The boy closes his eyes and prepares for what's coming. Smack! The woman hits the boy in the face and the man kicks him in the gut. Now the boy is lying on the ground holding his gut. "There that should teach you to behave!"shouts the woman. The two adults storm off back into the house. The boy stands up and walks back inside. He heads to the the basement where there is a small bed with little blankets and a small radio. Carved in the wall beside the bed is the name Tyler. Above the carving is a poster that reads ! It's A Girl! Tyler is the boy's name and the two adults are his parents. It wasn't always like this for Tyler. It all started about seven years ago on Tyler's 5th birthday, his dad walked in and sat down at the table as his mom was preparing a cake. Tyler's mom had a huge belly and was clearly tired so she took a break. As his mother was sitting down she stared feeling a pain in her stomach and called for her husband. Tyler was worried but his mother smiled and said it was his birthday present, a new sister. His father helped his mother to the car and fastened Tyler's seatbelt. When they reached the hospital two nurses helped his mother out of the car and on to a Gurnee. His mother seemed so happy and his father was nervous, but in a good way. Tyler and his father had to wait in a big empty room while the baby was being delivered. Tyler's father was pacing back and forth in the room for a while until they heard a alarm "code blue" screamed a nurse. Tyler's father was an EMT and he knew exactly what that meant. Tyler's mother had gone into cardiac arrest while giving birth. Tyler's mind was blank as he saw his father panicking. About an hour later Tyler and his father were allowed in to see his mother. She was doing fine and was sleeping. Tyler searched the room with his eyes looking for his new sister. He saw a small blanket on the table it looked like it was wrapped around something. Tyler walked over and picked it up. Inside was a tiny blue baby, it must be his sister. Tyler unwrapped the babies head and began singing happy birthday to her. He rocked her lifeless body back and forth with a huge smile on his face. His father started crying and slapped Tyler causing him to drop the baby on the floor. Tyler started crying not because he was hit but because his sister had fallen. As Tyler picked his sister she began crying. Tyler's father grabbed the baby and called for a nurse. The nurse grabbed the baby and hooked her up to many machines. Tyler's sister was a healthy baby. But for some reason his father never looked at him the same again and his mother never paid him any mind. Every bad thing that happened was Tyler's fault, even though he didn't do it. So three years ago when him, his sister and his parents were on a road trip and the car crashed and his sister lost her life it was his fault, not the car that didn't stop at the red light, not his parents who forgot to buckle his sister in, it was Tyler's fault. It got worse after that his parents made him live in the basement only giving him the bare essentials to survive. Tyler does all the chores takes all the beatings and he does it all with a blank expression on his little face.
