9: Flashback from the past
It was a cold night, Vincent lay in his bed, struggling with a nightmare from his past. A past he didn't like to remember
Flashback
6-year-old Vincent wants to go in the garden to play with his ball, he stops at the door to the living room, he heard his parents talk. Normally he would not care about it, but when he heard his name drop in the conversation a couple of times. He putted his ear against the wall to listen in to the talk.
He couldn't hear a lot, but it was enough for him to know the meaning of the conversation.
"I think we should give him up for adoption." His mother said.
Vincent gasped at her sentence but kept listening.
"Why do you even give him up for adoption." His father responded.
"I don't know…Someone….maybe we should send him to an orphanage then."
"No. We won't send our son to an orphanage !"
Vincent couldn't hear anything else anymore. With tears in his eyes, he ran up the stairs, straight to his room. He sat on his bed and cried. His parents didn't want him.
"No! They love….don't they ?" he thought. He closed his eyes and thought about it. He couldn't remember that his mother ever said, "I love you", his father did say it sometimes, but not so much.
He couldn't remember that they ever came to one of his school plays. Or even played with him, they always had an excuse. This thought made him cry even more. "They don't love me."
That evening, his father had left to his normal pub with his friends. That left him and his mother alone at home. He went to sleep early that evening. But it didn't take long before his mother came to his room.
"You are no son of mine…" his mother said
"Mom? What are you talking about?"
"You are a little brat…not worth living." His mother said angry
Vincent's eyes began to tear "Mom? What are you talking about?" he asked again
"Don't ask question!" She slapped him across the face. Vincent quickly grabbed his chair, confused about his mother's actions, but also afraid about what she was going to do to him.
"Mom?" Vincent asked teary and scared
"What do you want now you little ungrateful brat?" His mother asked angry
"What's gotten into you?"
"You ruined our lives you little brat. When I come home tomorrow morning, I don't want to see you anymore, not then, not ever! You hear me?" His mother asked angry
Vincent nodded, the tears were still in his eyes, afraid to fall, afraid to acknowledge the fear and pain his mother had put in him. His mother left again, only when he heard his mother in the kitchen downstairs, he let his tears flow freely.
The following morning, he stood up, walking downstairs and noticing that both his mother and father had left, he sighed from relieve but soon he packed his things and went away from the house.
Vincent woke up in cold sweat about his dream, he hadn't dreamed about that since he was a little boy. He had indeed walked away from his house but he was soon found by the police who brought him back home.
He looked at his clock, it was 8'o clock in the morning, he started his cd player and the song "Behind Blue eyes" played. The song always reminded him about his past, he took a shower and got dressed.
He grabbed his mp3 and walked downstairs, when he entered the kitchen, he saw his father sitting at the dinner table. He always could talk to his dad, but even his dad had his limits. He never believed Vincent about the abuse that his mother did.
"Hey, shouldn't you go to work?" Vincent asked
"It's Sunday, no work…"
"What about mom?" Vincent asked with fear in his voice
"Oh, she has to work today, like every day of the week."
"Yeah…"
He grabbed an apple from the table and said goodbye to his father, he putted the ears of his mp3 in his ears and began to run. Running always worked for him to relax. He smiled as his favourite song came up "My Immortal"
The song reminded him about his meeting with Evey, he thought about her as he continued to run, run away from his problems, run away from all his troubles, run away from everything bad in his life…
