            A month later

I was walking down the road to school. It was so quiet.

I got really tired and sat down on the bench. Then I felt someone sit beside me. I turned around to see Sebastian. He was looking at me with anger in his eyes

"Umm... hey Sebastian," I said

"You're a killer," he said "you killed me"

"what are you talking about weirdo?"

He looked at me, and without another word, he opened the lid of a small container and swallowed whatever was inside

"What are you doing?" I stood up, shocked to see that the container was a pill holder

"You killed me!" he said, tears running down his cheeks "I was your brother but you killed me" he cried out "You're a monster"

He then laid down on the ground and closed his eyes

"What? No. Sebastian, get up!! Please" I started shaking him, then blood started coming out of his mouth

"No...No... No!! You can't die. You... you...oh my god... help" I screamed

But there was no one around. I started to run

Then I saw a figure of a girl coming toward me. I run to her to see that it was Veronica. She was covered in blood, behind her came Paula

"Roni... wh...what happened?" I stuttered

"You happened," she said "You killed him"

"No. no! I swear I didn't!!"

Then Paula knelt down beside Sebastian

"You killed mom too" she continued "You're a killer. Just like your father. You both killed my whole family" then she disappeared

"Roni?... Roni What..."

Then I saw that Sebastian and Paula were coming toward me. That's when I noticed a knife sticking out of her chest. And there was blood dripping around it.

Then they both started yelling

"You killed us" "you're a killer" "you are a monster"

"NO!" I sat up "I didn't kill them... I didn't... I ... I..."

Then the voice stopped and the world seemed clearer. I looked around me to see that I am on my bed. Sweat covering my body and shaking

It was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare

I then wrapped my arms around myself and cried myself back to sleep


----Please...don't----


"Hey dude, umm... it's me again. I just wanted to tell you that, dad's trial ended. And he was convicted for life. I know that doesn't erase what he did but at least it stopped him from hurting other people. I guess

And... veronica's living with us from now on.

We're also moving in today to the other house mom had brought. It's not far from here. So that won't stop me from coming here to bother you" I sighed

"I really am sorry though. I always regret doing what I did to you. I wished I had said this when you were here.

But I would give anything, anything to go back and say sorry... or goodbye" then my tears started falling

I looked around the graveyard. The place was so quiet

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I quickly turned around

"It's just me idiot," veronica said. Her eyes were red

Must be coming from Paula's grave

I quickly dried my cheeks

She stared at the gravestone

"I miss him too," she said "but coming here every day and crying won't do him any good"

"I know. I wasn't crying" I replied quickly drying my cheeks

"Ya right" she scoffed

"Your mom must be waiting at the house. we should go. Goodbye Eyian" she said and dragged me out

We walked in silence, then her phone vibrated and she opened it. after a while, she started typing

Dad had denied doing any of the things he did but the Detective–his name is Nathan and he's a cool guy-found a recording on Vincent's phone.

Apparently, the Vincent guy-even if he denied it- had been recording what dad was saying that day in the living room.

And they're both in prison now

Mom was released three days after that day. She acts strong and happy but I know she blames herself. And if her eye bags were any indication, she wasn't sleeping well. And now, after she heard that recording, I see her staring at space, lost in thought.

And Veronica started living with us a week ago. And she really isn't alright. She's having nightmares too and she cries... a lot

I still feel so bad about everything. Veronica and mom tell me that nothing was my fault but all of us know, that if I hadn't bullied Sebastian, or asked Paula for information about mom, they both would have been here right now

"Hey," she said nudging me with her elbow, "stop overthinking"

"Guys! Come over here and help" mom said from in the house.

We quickly got in the house then helped her put the sofas in the right place, install the TV... then sat down.

"Hey, let's go see our rooms" veronica suggested and we went upstairs.

I got there first and opened my room's door to see... pink. Everywhere. The bed, the closet, the carpet... the walls!!

"Mom!?"I screamed, and veronica giggled beside me. She then got in the room and sat on the bed

"NoNoNoNoNo!" I shook my head, "this is supposed to be my room. I picked it!"

She rolled her eyes "we both did"

"So? What made it yours! The other room doesn't have a bathroom and I am not. In a million years, taking a bath in your room with all those pink and glittery stuff"

"Go ahead," she said, "cry harder. LOSER" she stuck out her tongue

"Mom! I swear this isn't fair" I went downstairs and Roni came down with me

"Why does she get the room mom?"

"You make a hell of a mess in the bathroom. And you never clean up" veronica said wrinkling her nose

"I do not"

"Yes you do"

"I do not"

"Yes you do"

"Mom!" I said, she stuck her head out of the kitchen and said "I am with Veronica on that"

Roni then went and high fived her

I sighed. Now how the hell am I gonna live with these two??
