HONESTY

B A D M E M O R Y

Wine glasses had been thrown across the room with an ended result of shattered glass spreading all around the room, along with the sound of people arguing back in forth over a topic completely of a waste. This was something Taehyung always had to live with, an argument resulting in physical harm to his own mother though he was unable to take action in the problem as he was only a simple minded five year old. "You always fucking do this! Leaving the house and coming back like a psycho! You don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself, not even your own kid you bastard!" A woman's
rasped voice could be faintly heard through the walls, along with loud banging as if someone had been repeatedly slamming and object into the hard wall merciless. Taehyung stayed in his room, ignoring all of the disturbance from downstairs as he clinged tightly onto the brown worn out teddy bear. One of his black-button eyes were popped out, only being supported by a single strand that appeared as if it were to tear at any given moment. "Mommy and daddy are fighting again, I can't do anything about it, james what should I do to protect mommy? Aren't I a big boy?" He questioned the lifeless stuffed animal, only to receive  silence as an answer. Taehyung had a great struggle with making any new friends near the neighborhood, the apparent reason was because he's been awfully silent to everyone no matter how many times they've attempted to begin a conversation. He was rumored around the neighborhood as an 'odd kid', saying he wasn't anything like the other children nor will be accepted as one, though in his mothers eyes he was unique and stood out from the rest. All those times she had stood up for him when everyone else didn't accept him, even his own father had viewed him as a complete mistake..not even a little drop of love to spare. Taehyung loosened his firm grip on james, getting his body off of the bed whilst having an outer space blanket being dragged across the carpet as he had only moved further out of his room while his figure disappeared in the dark. "You really think I give a shit about this family anymore, if I go and leave just to drink it's all because of you! Stressing me out half the time and only getting on my ass on the rent!" He reached down, forcefully lifting her up just by her forearm and slammed her against the marble sink, hearing some snaps which was possibly her bones but he couldn't tell as she cried out in pain. Tears edged up within her eyes while the pain was unbearable, feeling as if she could close her eyes shut right in that moment and never wake up, never wanting to experience this throbbing pain ever again. Taehyung made his footsteps light as a feather so he wouldn't cause a disturbance, each stair would only escalate him further to the scene, it was too dark to distinguish anything more than a vague shape of a figure lying down on the kitchen floor with another figure staring down, though he knew who was there. Suddenly a hight pitched creak could be heard from a stair, making him stop all of his actions all at once acting as an statue. His father turned his head back over to the staircase, reaching down and grabbing a pointed shard of glass with a small blood stain splattered on like soupy paint. Taehyung rushed back up the stairs once he perceived his fathers actions once he reached down, immediately having an instinct to run though he could make out sounds of someone following closely behind him. "If it Weren't for you maybe none of this would have happened at all! A kid like you was meant to be a complete mistake!" He shouted as he paced up the stairs only being inches behind Taehyung, reaching his hand out to grab him but to only have a grip on a teddy bear Taehyung threw back. He made it to the top of the staircase and made a sharp turn down the dark hallway his head turning in all directions to find somewhere for cover, heading into his parents room and shutting the door behind himself. Taehyung could barely breath, his fast breathing coming out shakey from the traumatizing fact his own father would attempt to murder him, while being intoxicated which only made things worse. "Oh this isn't fun at all.." He murmured to himself, walking around the room as his heart was beating out of his chest. A family portrait of their family was hanging just above the bed, everything about the picture was off. His mother had a smile on however the more he kept his eyes focused on her figure the more disoriented it would become. The small act his family would pull off once anyone came over to visit, like a complete dollhouse is how he could describe it. Taehyung was caught off guard in this moment, everything else in reality was blocked off except for that portrait. His father was screaming loudly down the dimmed hall, echoing down to the dead end of the hall "Where are you Taehyung?!" His tone was indeed psychotic, a complete freak mentally mostly. Taehyung stayed silent, quickly taking his gaze of the portrait while grabbing a picture frame with a infant picture inside, smashing it on the ground to only end up in pointed shards. The adrenaline rush could be felt within, he had to do what had to be done, end it all for the sake of him and his mother. His small hand reached out to one of many glass shards, picking it up and holding it close to himself as he climbed under the bed to only wait for his father.  A few minutes of waiting and the door was kicked in by nonetheless, his father and he reeked alcohol badly as he roamed the room in close search of Taehyung. He could vividly remember the entire scene in his head while the officer repeatedly asked him the same question "So why did you do it all? Who was your first kill?" The woman's voice questioned while having a pen and paper in her hand, this snapped Taehyung back into reality. "My own father, he wasn't important to my life anyways, it was just me and my mother against everyone else, I did her a favor" He said sternly, his gaze turning up to hers which deeply intimidated the woman. "It was an entire new life for me, the first time I actually felt fine, a new beginning for me" and indeed it was a new life.
