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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAFStdSdwZn0
That he would soon come to start hurting himself. Use physical pain to distract from the emotional pain.259Please respect copyright.PENANA21I37hf24x
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. 259Please respect copyright.PENANADwAP00oeTp
It annoyed him. Frustrated him. That he couldn't help anything. He couldn't help himself. Or anyone, for that matter.259Please respect copyright.PENANAIxs6fsmjTg
He turned to things that eased the pain temporarily. Alcohol. Marijuana. Sex. Hurting other people.259Please respect copyright.PENANAL65mNxG919
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. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAXmDsCpurjP
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAEBDdsWNpxX
He pretended that his mother hadn't left the family because of his and his father's mistakes.259Please respect copyright.PENANA2HuwuteG84
He convinced himself that he doesn't deserve love or respect. That the demons that live within him were too strong.259Please respect copyright.PENANAJH7Y9M7D30
That's he's a fuck-up. A mistake, hindering the growth and lives of others.259Please respect copyright.PENANA2mbwiArdjC
He didn't just hate himself, he wanted to destroy himself. But he couldn't. His parents had already lost two children. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAC4mNPb0h1X
So, he was forced to live a meaningless, loveless, existence. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAv9lEOVGWUY
He walked around the world not giving a fuck what anyone thought of him.259Please respect copyright.PENANAT9wUMGP6yT
Disrespecting and hurting people left, right, and center. If he couldn't be happy then no one could.259Please respect copyright.PENANAzsrwYj0Ve3
He did want to get to know anyone. Be friends with anyone. He disregarded niceties and politeness.
Until.......259Please respect copyright.PENANALDqsNeNOtr
Her beautiful dark curly hair shone through the darkness.259Please respect copyright.PENANAkBcL1ZmsZD
Her figure enticed, barely shown. Not enough to satisfy his wandering eyes.259Please respect copyright.PENANAf3aoicIjET
Her almond-shaped eyes gave him a glimpse of heaven, distracting him from his eternal hell and self-damnation.259Please respect copyright.PENANA5hQFM2kUf7
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAYTlaMHzB0R
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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAAQAaKTF4VU
She was polite and let others get away with far too much.259Please respect copyright.PENANAEkfWgjbhvM
Honest but was sometimes forced to hide her true self. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAS25o6XWQ5K
Appealing.259Please respect copyright.PENANAhs6aHxc6b6
Quiet but tried to be outgoing.259Please respect copyright.PENANACh3BSStTlh
A walking contradiction.259Please respect copyright.PENANAjuCcozreTm
He was dying to get to know her.259Please respect copyright.PENANACLglB1TM5E
He thought it was simple lust. Arousal. Horniness?259Please respect copyright.PENANAZuYsOH7QKS
But somewhere, deep inside of him, he knew that she was different. He could just tell. 259Please respect copyright.PENANA7jbasQPiEs
He didn't know that soon his whole world would revolve around her.
That she would become his addiction.259Please respect copyright.PENANAm4IP0M4o5Q
His light.259Please respect copyright.PENANAMtiXf7rGrk
His savior.259Please respect copyright.PENANARpqyO1EmxA
His second chance.259Please respect copyright.PENANAmKgkB1DeVa
She was the poison and the antidote.259Please respect copyright.PENANATaVxEYwqcZ
