The Other Half Of Me

Part One- The Link

 1930 was the year when a woman gave birth to a little boy. His parents were delighted to have this baby named after her deceased father, Billy Curtis Novak. During the labor, there were complications on the way, almost died giving birth to Billy. 

Billy was a shy boy, living in Finland with his mother. Billy was always insecure with his obvious flaws. When Billy was born, he had a mental and physical impairment. Fortunately, both his parents love him very much. But things escalated when he turned twelve, and his parents just got into another argument about him. Billy overheard them talking, fighting over who will take child custody over him. In the end, his father lost the case, so Billy went living with his mother.

Billy's father, Christopher Novak, is a hard-working man. He wanted to be like his father, who was strong, caring, and loyal. The reason why his parents divorced was the fact that he couldn't hold a steady job and barely made ends meet. But what made Billy happy was the idea of him visiting during the weekends. He felt so safe and secure when being with his father. On the other hand, he didn't feel the same way with his mother. 

Jane Novak was married to Christopher and was deeply in love with him. When giving birth to Billy, it was her greatest accomplishment, and it gave her something worth living for. Unfortunately, Jane wasn't a great person and has a long history of drug abuse and alcohol. Billy saw his mother as weak and unreliable. Billy almost can say that he has extreme hate towards his mother for taking him away from his father. He hated how she was always drunk from wine or high off marijuana. Billy sees his mother on the couch most days, looking up toward the ceiling, she would seem like she was in a vertex or loop if you would call it. 

The only haven Billy has is his bedroom, and he would stay there until dinner. But when Billy is in his room, he starts thinking about many ways to kill his mother and go live with his father. Billy goes through a list of thoughts while laying on his bed, like this one right now.
