You Don't Deserve To Live!

"Is it my fault that we are rich and you're still poor?", Henry yelled."No...It's not your fault... I just request you not to insult my mom because of our financial condition...", Andrey said."You...We are not insulting you! We are just telling you to try to earn money and become rich like us...Right now, A person as poor as you does not deserve to talk to me.

Do you know? My family is considered in the top five richest and the most prestigious families! What are you in front of me? Nothing!"

"How can you do this to me, Henry?" he went on, "Did you forget our friendship? How can you? Even if this is the case, please stop trying to torture us! Let us live peacefully. Whether we live or die, It has nothing to do with you..", Andrey says. Tears falling from his small eyes.

"Hey! Don't show that melodrama in front of me! It won't work! You deserve to be tortured! People as pathetic and...Stinky as you deserve this. Just die!", Henry says and pushes Andrey to the railing by grabbing his throat.

"Let...me...go...", Andrey says. Words are barely coming out. "Please...let..me...live...", just then Henry pushes him so hard that he falls into the river and disappears.

He just realized what a deadly sin he commits just a second ago all because of his anger. His got frightened. His hands were shaking and his legs were trembling. He wanted to run away, but his feet were rooted on the ground. He was sweating and then a vivid vision of him going to jail and getting his career and life destroyed was in front of his eyes.

Out of fear and decided that running away would be better. He ran in the heavy rain as fast as his legs could take him.

He enters Sterlinson Mansion. Just then, Miss Sterlinson descended from the stairs. Her eyes fell on Henry. She asks, "What happened, son? Are you okay?" "Nothing mom..." he says. "Come on..", she grabs his hand and takes him to his room, and closes the door. "Now tell.", she gives questioning look. He could not hold it and told everything that happened.

"Don't worry, son. It's alright." "No...mom...I don't want to go to jail please...", He sobs. "Who said you are going to jail? No one can touch my son. Don't worry I will pull you out of this. All you have to do is listen to mom.", She assures him with a smile.

'Is this okay to do it?' Henry thinks.'It must be right because mom said that'.He somehow calms himself down and pulls the blanket to put himself into sleep.

"Do you think it's the end?", A hoarse voice says. "No...It's not my...fault...", Henry replies, trembling all over. "Shut up! This is not an end! It's a start! Mark my words you fool!" , "My mom...will save..me...so get out!", he says trying to show he is not scared of the voice. "No one can save you. Whoever tries to save you will also die. Even I can't stop myself from killing you.", the voice says, cooly.

Then a huge gust of wind comes and forms a human shape. A man with a black cloak. It had no face. He raises his hand made of dust particles." No...no...no...no!!!", Henry shouts.

Suddenly he opens his eyes. He was sweating, his whole body was jammed as if it would never move again. Just then Miss Sternlinson opens the door. She sees the condition of his son. She approaches him and puts her hand on his shoulder giving him a warm feeling.

"Son, I will handle everything. Trust in mom, okay? It's nothing. I have my sources. All you have to do is pretend as nothing happened. You are good son right?", she consoles. Henry nods and hugs her mom. "Now dress up quickly or you will be late for school. Remember, Don't tell anyone about..this. Just keep your mind calm and act as nothing happened. Soon everyone will forget this incident and you will be able to go back to the life you were living."

He feels better because of her mom's words but still, he was not completely okay. He told his mom everything except...The nightmare he had. He did not want to believe that it was true but it just looked too real.
