"...That's the weirdest way anyone's stopped me from crying... but... uh... thanks." I smile slightly. "Don't do it again, though. Same thing goes for calling me 'cute'."
"...Alright. It started when I was 12. My dad had recently started working as a... drug dealler. He lost his job earlier that year, so he had to find a new job quickly... So he decided to go into drug dealling."
"My mom didn't approve of it, since many drug deallers in my neighborhood ended up getting killed by their clients. However, my parents didn't have much of a choice, since we need money to pay for rent..."
"So, my dad sold drugs for a few weeks and everything was going fine. We had enough money to pay rent and had enough food to keep us from starving... However, one night, I woke up to a scream - it was my mom's voice." My voice cracked slightly.
"...Well, I immediately jumped out of my bed, and woke up my brother... since he's older than me. I told him what I heard, and he told me to stay in our room while he checks on our mom..."
"...I waited in that room for about a minute, and then. I heard another scream. This time, it sounded like my brother's voice. Scared of what might've happened to him, I sprinted out of my room and towards the source of my brother's scream."
"When I finally located him - I saw two men, and near their feet - both of my parents... bodys... were there... covered in... blood."
I firmly hug Ceph back, and I allow myself to finally release the tears I've been holding in since the event.
"...One of the t-two men p-picked up my b-brother by his n-neck... and they... started to c-choke him..." I sob slightly, and then continue.
"...I had n-no idea what to d-do, but t-the two men hadn't noticed me y-yet, s-so I had to try to s-save my b-brother."
"...I noticed that... there was a k-knife stabbed in my dad's c-chest. Since it was the only weapon I saw nearby, I decided I needed to get ahold of it, so I could attack the men. Luckily, the men were facing away from my dad's body and where I was standing, so I could grab the knife... and stab him from behind..."
"I carried out my plan quickly... and I managed to obtain the knife... successfully. After that... I hesitated. I had never... tried to kill someone before... but I had to do it to save...the only family I had left."
"I stabbed the men choking my brother in the back swiftly... which caused him to drop my brother. The other man notice me as soon as I stabbed his friend... and pulled out a knife of his own..."
"...He ran at me... and then I felt something... push me. It was my brother... He... pushed me... out of the way... he got stabbed... in his leg..."
"...Ah, well, the man took awhile to remove the knife from my brother's leg... so I had time to attack him... I ran up to him... and stabbed him in the head... there was... so much... blood..." I sob loudly.
"...I made sure he was... dead... before I went over to my... brother..."
"He was okay... luckily the knife... didn't go in very deep. I had also cause the man I stabbed in the back earlier to faint... I removed the knife from... the other guys brain... and stabbed it into the other guys head... there was... so...much... blood..." I close my eyes and sob even louder.
