Brax P.O.V.
the sunset began to disappear from the now dark sky, the waves crashed against the rocks and against the sand beneath my feet.
"do you remember when you use to tell me when i was young that mum came here instead of heaven so every time dad was mad and wanted to beat me senseless and you would tell me to run, i'd come here, i always felt safe here" Casey said looking straight ahead into the distance of the ocean,
"do you feel safe" i asked, i turned to Casey and saw the confusion in his eyes,
"you know do think some thing will finally come good in our pathetic miserable lives" i explained with such sarcasm,
"well when you say it like that of course" said Casey as we both laughed.
ever since we were little our family wasn't perfect, far from it.
everyday i'd come home and dad will be angry, yelling, or hitting some one, some times when things got to rough mum would leave and not come back for weeks, months and one time a year she always said she needed space but what about us we needed a mother i guess we both didn't get what we wanted, one year my mother passed away she over dosed on pills and died in her sleep, mainly Casey was having a hard time accepting it, Heath always kept things bottled up so no one ever knew how he felt about it, and Me i laughed she was a awful mother, if she cared the least about us she would of taken us to a safe place away from dad but no, she did the complete opposite.
my dad wasn't any better either in fact he was worse, he never cared about me and my brothers just himself, when times got bad we would all run out of house and down to the beach, if it was night we would spend the night there, every kid always smiled on Christmas when they wake up to find toys under the tree or when on their birthday get a awesome present from their parents but no not my family, it was when the police came to our door and arrested my dad for armed robbery, that was the best day of my childhood.
"Brax where are the blankets" Heath asked me, i fell out of my deep thought and looked over to Heath, "in the bag" i said pointing over to the bag. "are you okay" i asked Casey noticing he looked down and upset, "yeah, i just don't understand why we have to sleep on the beach"
"I've told you this before because we have no money, no house, nothing only the things i could steal" i gave Casey a warm assuring everything is going to be okay one day smile, a tear came running down Casey's face, "hey its okay"
"no it's not, just stop saying everything is going to be okay, when clearly its not" yelled Heath
"not now Heath, it is going to be okay because i said so" i yelled back
"did he tell you Casey" Heath yelled asking Casey as he pointed at me, and at that point i knew exactly what he meant.
"Heath stop, just stop" i yelled over Heath trying to stop Casey from hearing what Heath was saying.
