Chapter 2

Javier's POV

I wonder what's it's like to have friends, a family, or someone who cares about me. I am laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking how fucked up my life is. I tossed around to try to get some sleep but all I could think about in my past.

3 years ago,

I am too excited to sleep. In two days, I would get a car as my birthday present. That's what my mom and dad said. I get out of my bathroom and put on some boxers and went to sleep with a smile on my face.

I woke up when I heard the creaking of a door. I stiffened and got out of bed. I took the baseball bat from the closet. I bought a baseball bat just in case of someone breaking into my home. I opened my door slowly and went to my parent's bedroom to check if they were okay. I then proceeded to go to my older sister's room to see if she was okay. I opened her door and saw that she was asleep.

I went down the stairs and while going to the kitchen I tried to switch the lights on .' Someone switched off the electricity ' I thought to myself My heart was beating rapidly against my chest I heard my cat purring near the window. I let out a sigh of relief. It was just me. Cuddly. My sister, Olivia, decided the name. Not me.

I lowered my bat and went up the stairs to go to my room. All of a sudden, I heard some footsteps in my parent's room. I went and opened the door. My blood ran cold. The lights came back on and I knew what I saw will always be in my memories for the rest of my life. I froze and everything stopped around me as I see what was there.

I screamed and screamed and ran towards my parents. Blood was gushing out from their necks. The window was open and the moonlight fell on their bodies. I held them tightly I just wanted everything to go back. I wanted to believe that this is just a dream, that it was just so hard to believe that they are no more. I called out to my sister but there was no reply.

Tears were running down my cheeks while I was screaming for them to wake up Then realization dawned upon me I ran to my sister's bedroom and saw her laying on the bed I slowly walked up to her and my heart was broken when I saw her She was pale and covered in blood I screamed, "NO ....THIS CAN'T HAPPEN ....WAKE UP SIS !" And she wasn't moving I called 911 and soon they arrived All that time I couldn't speak anything. I felt pain, unbearable pain.

1  week later

I stood there, everyone staring at me with pity and sadness, reminding me of that nightmare. I wanted to hold my tears but I couldn't. My every breath was shaky and my hands were shaking with anxiety. I was weak and tired. I held my eulogy in my shaking hands and took a breath in and out I started to speak " My mom was the most beautiful person I have ever seen. She is always there for everyone and especially for a family. She put others first then her. My dad and my mom were so in love. They were high school sweethearts and they never gave up on each other whenever there were any difficulties. My sister Olivia...." I choked a sob . My sister was no more . I sobered up and spoke " my sister was the other part of me and she still is. We used to fight a lot but cared about each other a lot too. I had the perfect family May they rest in peace and I know they are in a better place. I ran out of that place. I couldn't hold myself so I went to places wherever I can be alone.

Soon, everybody knew what happened in the town and rumors spread. They think that I killed my own family and I'm trying to gain sympathy from everyone After hearing this rumor I wanted to beat the shit of the person who spread this bullshit.

My friends no longer considered me as their friend. It hurt a lot but I guess I now know who is real and who is fake. I know that I won't be the person I was before. I guess I have to get used to the loneliness.

Now,

The person who broke into my home and murdered my family was captured two years ago. He robbed some expensive items and had a rivalry with my dad. After a few weeks later a girl, I think her name is  Scarlett. Yeah, her name is Scarlett. She tried to talk to me but I just ignored her. I don't need people who would just talk to me and look at me with pity They all are so fake. I hate everyone in this town.

But she seemed genuine

I got out of bed and got ready to go to school. I ate some cereal and went outside to ride on my motorbike. I sped and went to school As soon as I entered, everybody was staring at me. Good thing that I wore my black leather jacket which gave me a bit of confidence.

I sat in my seat in English class. She started to teach some shit that I didn't care about. She stared at me and asked a question which I answered quickly. I felt someone was staring at me not that everyone was staring. I immediately knew that she was staring at me I went back to my drawing. Truth to be told, I was drawing her. She always invades my mind and I don't know why I keep thinking about her. The bell rang everyone ran out but I was staring at her, she is so mysterious She turned around and we stared at each other. I was blown away by her eyes. She had dark brown eyes which made me so lost in them She looked away and ran out of class. I took a deep breath and went to other classes. Soon, it was lunchtime

I saw her again and she may have felt my stare She turned in every direction to see who was staring at her. I chuckled when I saw her making a cute face She's so adorable.

After the school hours were over I bumped into someone and I looked at her. I quickly said sorry to her and walked past her .what is wrong with me My heart is beating against my chest and warm sensations are spread all over my body.

I went to the abandoned place and got ready for the race Soon, I was on my bike with other competitors and I got in position People were cheering for me. I smirked and as soon as the whistle was blown I sped and beat those competitors and won some cash. On my way back home I went to the cafe to get myself a Frappuccino. As I was about to order, there she was again. She smiled my heart skipped a beat. God so beautiful. I ordered and sat at the back. After I drank it I paid and she said: "thank you,r " Her voice is so angelic. I didn't say anything else because I know I will regret whatever I will say I went outside and rode on my bike to go to my home.

I showered and changed into some boxers As I was about to sleep, my last thought was about her smile How she didn't want to smile but she did for others. I wanted to know her What was it that she wanted the world to believe her with her smile
