Four or Dead

Chapter 206

I never liked Christmas, it reminds me of all the times Roxanne spent all the money my father earned with his hard work on booze and drugs

Even on Christmas he had to work, leaving soon after Alec and I opened our presents. As soon as the front door closed, Roxanne would take away our gifts and leave to exchange them for cheap vodka or shrooms

But this year will be different as Angel put a lot of thought into our first Christmas together as a family. I hope she likes what I got her, as I've never bought a woman presents

I left the apartment in the middle of the night, wanting to return before the others woke up. And now I am standing in front of an old house that is in shambles. Part of the rooftop is caved in, and some windows are broken, making me wonder how someone can live here. Many times, I found myself standing in front of it, but never had the courage to go inside, not wanting to face my past...but now, I want to put an end to it

I enter. The stench of human feces and vomit hits me hard, making me gag, and I cover my nose with my sleeve

Most of the furniture is gone, and what is left is broken. Trash, roaches, and rats are all over the place. My OCD is starting to go wild, and I make my way to the top floor, wanting to be done with what I came here to do. The door to the master bedroom is open, and I enter. A woman who is only skin and bones is sleeping on a dirty mattress; bottles and syringes are piled in a corner, confirming what I already know

When I stand next to the mattress, she wakes up, fear flashing in her green eyes. Her hair is greasy, and her clothes are full of stains, the body odor coming from her makes my eyes water

"Hello, mommy dear," I sneer

I always hated my eyes because they reminded me of my mother. Why couldn't I inherit the amber color from my father, like Alec did?

She tries to grab my legs, but I move away from her. "My son."

Memories rush to me and I know I can't linger too long here, but before I leave I take the only picture I see on the nightstand. I am three in this picture, and I straddle Alec's right thigh.
