Mom was lying with a bullet hole to her head, her once beautiful white gown was now bloodied.

She wasn't moving, neither was Jenny.. ..

Dead.

The word registered in my head as we rushed towards them , Jenny was still breathing.

Barely .

But she didn't make it to the hospital, the bullet had struck one of her vital organs.

She had suffered so much and I couldn't do anything to help her.

My eyes snapped open , I touched my face to find it wet.

Wet?

Dad wasn't the same after that, he became so distant and we moved entirely to a different state.

He never allowed us to cry, it wouldn't change a damn thing and he was right, but that didn't stop me, I cried every single night but it didn't ease the pain I felt inside.

Not even the least bit.

I wanted revenge but all the perpetrators were dead.Dad made sure of that.

But then I found her.

How could she sleep so peacefully after they ruined our lives?

My heart burned with renewed hatred towards her.

She was that person's daughter because of whom I lost the tiniest bit of happiness I ever had...

Her delicate neck was exposed as she snores softly, it would be so easy to strangle her , even as I thought about it, I knew I couldn't do it.

I would never be able to.

I shouldn't want her the way I did, I feel like I'm betraying mom , Jenny........and even myself.

All I wanted to feel was hate but It went a lot deeper than that .

As if aware of the looming danger ,her eyes flickered open slowly.

"H..Hayden?"

She whispered so softly , confusion written all over her face, a spike of anger swept through me

"It's all because of you!" I hissed wrapping my hand around her neck, not so tight, but enough to leave a mark

She looked surprised by my sudden outburst and I tightened my grip even more

She was crying now and it made me even the hell madder

"why do you have to act so fragile ,to gain my sympathy?it only makes me hate you more!"

I let go of my grip and she moved away from me, setting a good distance between us....

"I don't w..want your sympathy, I already said I don't w..want anything from you.I never will"
