Chapter fifty-nine
He was angry. Angry at everyone and everything. Everyone had wronged him. Everyone irritated him. Nobody was good. Everything was dark. All the time. Nothing was serious. Or permanent. He fucked endless girls like there was no tomorrow. He didn't care about those girls. Just like nobody cared when his little sister and her friend were raped. And beaten. Then murdered like dogs. And when he found the bodies, bruised and pale. Or when he found his other little sister's body dead and limp. Floating in the water. Blood everywhere. Wrists slit. Her beautiful face pale and lifeless, nothing like the real her. He didn't care about anything.255Please respect copyright.PENANA5Aix0yCzYn
That he would soon come to start hurting himself. Use physical pain to distract from the emotional pain.255Please respect copyright.PENANAfi4CQamxZi
He'd watched his family slowly unravel, nothing he could do to stop it. He didn't know how to stop the pain. The slow burn that was within him. 255Please respect copyright.PENANAJqERMx8xGw
It annoyed him. Frustrated him. That he couldn't help anything. He couldn't help himself. Or anyone, for that matter.255Please respect copyright.PENANAt33AM2GsEA
He turned to things that eased the pain temporarily. Alcohol. Marijuana. Sex. Hurting other people.255Please respect copyright.PENANAgunZCqqtvn
He drank and drank despite everyone's efforts to get through to him.
He couldn't see past the anger and pain. It haunted him. His dreams, his days. 255Please respect copyright.PENANAmLmEi3QccO
He convinced himself that he was meant to be alone. That if his sisters couldn't have a life than neither could he.
He pretended that he hadn't seen his father hit his mother. He pretended that his family was perfect before it fell apart.255Please respect copyright.PENANAgVYsbrFIRt
He pretended that his mother hadn't left the family because of his and his father's mistakes.255Please respect copyright.PENANA3GuhKU1vSy
He convinced himself that he doesn't deserve love or respect. That the demons that live within him were too strong.255Please respect copyright.PENANADkmtOtJDIx
That's he's a fuck-up. A mistake, hindering the growth and lives of others.255Please respect copyright.PENANAIpmxdXc7YM
He didn't just hate himself, he wanted to destroy himself. But he couldn't. His parents had already lost two children. 255Please respect copyright.PENANA7JZ6X2IywP
So, he was forced to live a meaningless, loveless, existence. 255Please respect copyright.PENANAGYTFB1zA4l
He walked around the world not giving a fuck what anyone thought of him.255Please respect copyright.PENANA012r65o2PU
Disrespecting and hurting people left, right, and center. If he couldn't be happy then no one could.255Please respect copyright.PENANAmrz8LpEPUP
He did want to get to know anyone. Be friends with anyone. He disregarded niceties and politeness.
Until.......255Please respect copyright.PENANADOBMIFeNVl
Her beautiful dark curly hair shone through the darkness.255Please respect copyright.PENANAQHgYAluTKx
Her figure enticed, barely shown. Not enough to satisfy his wandering eyes.255Please respect copyright.PENANAOzYsIEMleC
Her almond-shaped eyes gave him a glimpse of heaven, distracting him from his eternal hell and self-damnation.255Please respect copyright.PENANAFFdI8B6PR6
She didn't know how beautiful she was so she walked around with a certain sense of naivety as well as knowing that the world wasn't all good.255Please respect copyright.PENANAGLbTwVpEhq
She didn't know how much men wanted her. Her innocence. Her purity. How many girls wanted her looks and the attention she got from men.255Please respect copyright.PENANAqV6Z7Alcyw
She was polite and let others get away with far too much.255Please respect copyright.PENANABUVQITbroi
Honest but was sometimes forced to hide her true self. 255Please respect copyright.PENANAGjq7ngnEzB
Appealing.255Please respect copyright.PENANAXRuqhaU0d7
Quiet but tried to be outgoing.255Please respect copyright.PENANAsdEDlI0ChI
A walking contradiction.255Please respect copyright.PENANAIrl5HInxnc
He was dying to get to know her.255Please respect copyright.PENANAliNw933beB
He thought it was simple lust. Arousal. Horniness?255Please respect copyright.PENANAYnRhXXDmGV
But somewhere, deep inside of him, he knew that she was different. He could just tell. 255Please respect copyright.PENANAhPsMpdysBb
He didn't know that soon his whole world would revolve around her.
That she would become his addiction.255Please respect copyright.PENANAPoIzRWnVYn
His light.255Please respect copyright.PENANAWhIa0cEAhL
His savior.255Please respect copyright.PENANAk3oAxe1Uyw
His second chance.255Please respect copyright.PENANAwwCVL4KJ0L
She was the poison and the antidote.255Please respect copyright.PENANA4CtqlmXv4j
