Bleeding Hearts

To Future Viper

Viper's POV

To my future self, I am writing the events of your life, as you may soon forget who you are.

______________________________________

Doing heavy drugs, fucking your best friend, and taking over the family business sounds like the worst thing ever. But honestly, the worst thing to happen to me was suffering a bad concussion at the age of eight years old. Who knew it would lead to a life of paralyzing nightmares, a divine creature constantly lurking around where ever you are, and many different addictions.

Aki's POV

Having been abandoned by my parents and raised by a distant relative has been hard, and I'll admit that I have gone down a bad road, I feel it could have been worse. At least I have my best friend by my side through all of my struggles. Though I think Viper needs me more than I need him.

Viper's POV

"Viper I need you to understand that I am here to help you. You have no idea what's in-store for you in the future. If you don't take my advice it could lead you down a very dangerous path." Ruin had been in my life since the day I suffered my concussion. A Deerfolk from a Divine world here to save me from my demons. Though she could be a demon at times. Once chasing me through the forest in her full deer form. I wouldn't talk to her for two months.

Things were good for a while, then shortly after I turned sixteen I started to understand why Ruin really wanted to help me.

My parents died in a car accident and left me to take over their blacksmith shop. I had Ruin and my best friend Aki to help cope. I also wasn't that affected, I wasn't really close with my parents anyway. They were young and stupid and pushed me away as soon as I could care for myself. I moved into my own home the day I turned sixteen, vowing to never return to their home. Thank God the shop isn't connected to their home. I didn't even go there to empty the place out.

Aki moved in with me when I turned eighteen, the only friend I've ever had. He immediately got into helping around the shop. I like being a blacksmith. Forging metal helped clear my head. At twenty-two years old I have resorted to smoking weed and drinking alcohol anytime I have a nightmare or hallucination. Aki has learned to help comfort me when these happen. I don't know what I'd do without him.
