Sad Times
After Finn left, I've been talking to Bonnie a lot.
"I feel sorry for you..." She said.
I sighed and looked away. I don't want any more heart break but it seems impossible for me. Heart break is something every person who is hopelessly in love experience. It turned dark and we needed to go back home. I listen to songs I can relate to every night hoping to find one that can help me... There was none so I started writing songs. I became a loner. I didn't talk much at school. The only person I talked to was my family and Bonnie. Bonnie became my BFF by the way.
Broken Family
A month later, my father mysteriously disappeared. It turned out he was an alcoholic, smoker and drug addict. Every night he would sneak out of the house and drive to the bar where he played poker all night long. My mother's heart broke. After that, she became more violent. She would whip me and my brother if we screw anything up. She too became like my father and she also left us alone. It was only me and my brother then.
My brother was old enough to get a job but he hasn't completed his studies plus we didn't have enough money to finish our studies. It was my brother's last year in collage so I think it'll be fine but I'm still in middle school, last year of middle school. He stopped his studies and started working. He didn't earn much but it was enough to support our broken family.
Talents
I have a talent, singing. Every weekend, I'll go to the park with the guitar my father left and its case and play for money. Sometimes, I earn fifty or even a hundred or more but it'll take me a lot of time. We were going to sell the guitar and the case but I told my brother that we could earn more money by playing for cash rather than selling it. He didn't agree until I told him this proverb I heard from Bonnibel.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. If we sell the guitar we would only earn some cash to last for a month or so but if we use the guitar to earn more money, we would have enough cash to last a lifetime!" I said.
Help
Bonnibel found out about what happened and told her parents. I didn't want to tell her because I didn't want to bother her family. Her parents were very kind and rich and they helped us out. I think life is actually getting better for me and my brother.
High School
Two years later, Bonnibel and I finished middle school and now we're going to high school, yay! We went to the same school. It was our freshman year. We met tons of new people and we quickly became friends. One day, I brought my guitar to school and started playing it on lunch. A crowd surrounded me and Bonnie (whom was singing). Bonnibel and I were actually doing a duet. When we stopped, the crowd started cheering for more. Bonnibel and I laughed and agreed.
Sickness
During work, my brother collapsed and he was brought to the hospital. He was sick, extremely sick. I knew it! He was pale and he always coughed but when I ask him if he is sick, he would deny. Maybe he didn't want me to know so I wouldn't worry. Bonnibel and I raced to the hospital and when I reached my brother's room, his heart stopped beating. I stared at the flat line on the monitor in horror. I broke down into tears as doctors rushed in the room and defibrillate my brother. Bonnibel and I waited at the patient room. A few minutes later, Bonnibel's parents came. A few minutes after that, the doctor walked out of the patient's room. I already knew what he was going to say.
"Your brother is dead, I am very sorry for your loss. We did everything we could," The doctor said.
What's The Reason?
After his death, I kept asking myself what was my reason to live? Did God want to toy with someone's life ripping the person from everything it loved? Now I'm scared it would take my only friend left, Bonnibel. My brother was the only relative I had that I was in touch with. More ideas for song came to my head. I decided to write a song for my brother.
"Dear brother,
When you were alive was I a bother,
Did everything I do made you so stressed,
And now you're dead,
How can I say sorry for everything I did,
The mistakes I made when I was a kid,
Brother I'd do anything to make you happy,
I'm sorry I made your life so crappy,
You never did have a wife,
I'll meet you, in your next life,
I'm sorry! I'm sorry for everything I did,
Forgive me! Forgive me, for the sins I commit,
I want you back here, and hug me at night,
But you need to go so I guess... goodbye..."
The Funeral
I sang the song on the funeral and there was no dry eye after I finished the song. His co-workers were there and so was his girlfriend. I didn't know he had a girlfriend. As my brother's sister, I needed to give a speech.
"My... brother was a good man. He gave up his studies so that he could support our family or what's left of it. He was very kind and would always do anything to make me happy. He would do anything to keep a smile on my face even though I was a very rude to him. He didn't tell me he was ill. I guess he didn't want me to be worried. He sacrificed himself for me and I am very grateful. I..." I said but broke down before I could finish.
Bonnibel's parents AKA my adoptive parents hugged and comforted me. Why is my life always sinking? Do I deserve this?
Who To Blame?
After the funeral I was super angry. When we got home, I stayed in the yard and screamed at the sky.
"You took the life of my brother! You're a monster! Why didn't you take mine instead? Why didn't you take mine instead? What are you going to do now? Murder everybody I love?" I screamed.
God... why? Why him? Why can't it be me?
Question Time!
Do you like the Fluff way of writing and why?
IMPORTANT!
Know the chapters:
Plot Chapter(PC): Nine short stories plus plot point/huge event for a character.
Fluff Chapter(FC): Tons of short stories, usually stories when they were young/school.
I'll put PC/FC in the chapter title. So if you want to only read the Fluff ones or the Plot ones, you'll know which is which.
Review Time!
Anon: It was a joke! My friends do that when they're angry. I have a friend who keep saying "I'll kill you!" when she was angry but it all was just a joke.
Roberto: Thanks! I'll update as soon as I can!
The Nephilim King Michael: It's funny how you always ask those kind of questions in your review. Well, you gotta continue reading to know.
Ninjago123: I'll update as soon as I can! Just be patient.
