the string (TreeBros)

chapter_1🔥

Connor's POV

12 years. Thats how long this 'string' has been attached to my finger. I've tried so many times to get rid of it but to no avail. I used to be a happy kid i had some pretty good friends but that was  before, now im bullied for being different. I don't care anymore. I've gotten used to the stares and whispers.

One thing i won't ever get used to is being called a 'freak' by my own sister. Zoe and i used to be really close. But once she got to the sixth grade she released just how strange i really was. Im only two years older than her so she was to young to remember me without the string, and since i've had it almost her whole life she thought it was normal. But those kids bullied her for being the freaks sister so i decided she'd be better off without me. She doesn't get bullied anymore, but i do. A lot. They've broken almost every bone in my body in the past twelve years. Im at the hospital so much all of the nurse's know my name. I shouldn't be used to it but i am.

Sometimes i wonder if everyone would be better off without me. My mom wouldn't need to work two jobs just to pay for my medical bills. My dad wouldn't have left. And Zoe wouldn't be ashamed to be a Murphy.

And as if that wasn't enough, i have major depression.

So, good times.

I was in my room trying to choose which color to paint my nails. It was between black and dark blue. I choose black. I was in the middle of painting my left ring finger when i had a crazy idea. Maybe i could find the end of the string.

I sat there thinking for a moment. If i did find the end what would be my life's purpose? What if there is no end? What if th-. I got dragged out of my thoughts by Zoe. She walked into my room and sat next to me on my bed.
"What do you want Zoe?" i spat.
"Gezz you don't have an ass." she retorted.
"Fine. What's up zoe Barry?" i said my voice thick with sarcasm.
"That's better!" she took a deep breath.
"Now the reason im here is, i miss you Connie." she said eyes on her lap. I put my hand on her shoulder. She looks up at me her eyes glossy with tears. I pull her into a bear hug.
"I miss you to Zoey." i say into her hair. Im on the verge of tears. I've wanted to fix our relationship for a long time, but never had the guts to tell her. I only had one question. Why now?
"But, why now?" i ask
"I-I don't, know." she replied truthfully. I didn't quite understand her reply. She should know. But, something seemed off.

It was the next day. Zoe and i had stayed up late catching up. I still didn't quite understand why we made up, but i was glad we did. I was happy to talk and goof around like we used to. I missed that the most. After all she's my sister and i love her. Not like i would admit that.

I got out of bed and took a shower. Only 5 more days of hell and im free! The thought of spring break made me giddy. It's not like i have any friends to miss, so all of break would consists of work and alone time. Sure i like being alone, but sometimes being alone with your thoughts could be dangerous. So, thank god I made up with Zoe. She could help with the darkness.

I was out of the shower and ready to go. While walking to school the strangest thing  happened. The string, moved! It had never done that before. I couldn't believe my eye's. It moved again! Thats when i saw, him. 

Well that's all i have so far. I hope you enjoyed. And to those who think The String sounds familiar its because this is loosely based on an animation i saw. Anyway, I'll try to post chapter_2🌲 soon. Bye! 🌈🌈🌈
