A few weeks ago Henry had found out that the neighbor wasn't just going on vacation she was actually moving and of course the dog moved along with her. Henry was both happy and upset about this.

He really wanted to perform many experiments on that dog just to see what would happen if things no one had ever thought of were introduced in the bloodstream. He did not care if it resulted in the dog's death as a matter a fact he preferred it that way.

If it did die he would no longer have to ever worry about that barking. Of course, he wouldn't have to worry about it now but he still felt as if he was a child who just had an anticipated toy dangled in front of him before being taken away.

But now a new toy was in front of him one much more appealing than the last. The student momentarily felt fear as he looked into Henry's eyes as he saw a flash of murderous intent. This flash only lasted a second though before Henry looked away pretending to act scared.

The student scoffed before walking away with Caitlyn under his arm. Henry stared at the students back imaging cut him open and taking his time killing him slowly. He was snapped out of it though when a few other students sat around and started talking.

Apparently, he had made 'friends' this year during introductions. This was due to the fact that now that he didn't have the same anxiety he had no trouble introducing himself beside simply not wanting to.

So now he had to worry about these other students who would likely get in his way in the future. 'What a hassle.' Henry thought to himself. The rest of the day he found out he had classes with three out of five of his new 'friends'.

The schoolday quickly passed by with nothing much happening. He found out that the entire first week of school would just be dedicated to getting to know his peers. All the normal students were extremely happy about not having to worry about any work.

He, on the other hand, was devastated he would have to socialize with other people for an entire week without rest. If there was work he had to do he would have an excuse as to not talk to anybody but now the work he had was to actually talk to people.

Henry felt a headache coming on as he thought about this while leaving school. He waited for five minutes outside the school talking to his friends before he saw his sweet escape. His dad's car pulled up and he abruptly said bye and jumped in urging his dad to quickly speed off.

After leaving the school zone Henry was told they were going to his favorite pizza place for dinner and then to the movies after. Henry was immediately suspicious as his parents would have had to go back to work after picking him up in the past which would mean they requested the rest of the day off for this.

He couldn't remember any special occasion that was happening that warranted this but he figured he was just forgetting something and did not object. After picking up his mom from the house they headed to the pizzeria and ordered his favorite pizzas.

But things turned out as he predicted there was no special occasion. It was just the three of them no one else joined for a birthday or something. After dinner, they left to head to a new theater that just opened up to see a horror movie.

His parents were surprised this is what he wanted to see. In the past, Henry would stay as far away as he could from anything remotely horror. On the way there though Henry finally spoke up. "Why are we doing this? Am I forgetting some kind of special occasion?"

His parents were very clearly upset after he asked. His dad told him they would explain after the movie and they just want to make sure his day was good. Henry although still puzzled did not question further.

They proceeded to the theater and got to their seats just before the movie started. Luckily they had ordered online and were able to reserve some good seats or else they would have been stuck directly in front of the screen.

Henry somewhat enjoyed the movie but his parents had a tough time. After the movie, they stopped at the store to pick up some ice cream before finally heading home. After getting home each of them got a bowl of ice cream before sitting at the table.

Just before Henry started eating his dad spoke up. "Son, there is something we need to tell you about your brother.". Henry was caught off guard for a moment before finally remembering that he had asked earlier in the morning.

Henry waited for his dad to continue speaking. His dad seeing this took a deep breath before speaking with much difficulty. "Son I want to apologize for keeping this from you all this time. We just weren't sure when we should tell you."

"After the incident last year your brother was very upset about what happened. He went after the student that hurt you with all he had. We all did. But in the end, they got off with just having to pay for your medical bills along with some additional compensation."

His dad hadn't even finished speaking when he was already enraged. But he did not interrupt and let his father continue. "Your brother despite the courts ruling was not ready to let go and continued going after him."

"No matter what he did though there were no consequences for the student. His family is simply too rich there was nothing he could do nothing any of us could do. But when we gave up he kept going. And eventually, we think he couldn't take it anymore."

His dad stopped there causing Henry to speak up while trying to hold in his anger. "What do you mean what happened?". He was pretty sure he already knew what happened something along the lives of his brother being set up and put in jail for something he didn't do with the student being cited as a motive."

But what his father said next caused him to be completely shocked as he did not know how to respond as his mind went blank. Tears streamed down his fathers and mothers face as he spoke with difficulty.

"Your brother he... he took his own life." Time seemed to stop for Henry as he heard these words. His brother... is dead? He took his own life? Henry frequently thought of his brother as an asshole but he knew he cared for him and he himself cared for his brother as well.

No matter how many arguments they had with each other no matter what came between them, in the end, they always were there for each other. His brother was actually there for him more than he was there for his brother.

His brother had a strong will and often didn't need help from anyone. But Henry on the other hand always needed help from his brother. And no matter what his brother said or how he always told him how he needed to grow up that still didn't change that he was there.

For the first time since the incident, Henry completely overwhelmed with emotion as a tear streamed down his face and raged boiled in his heart. His brother would never take his own life he was stronger than that.

You could keep shoving his face in the mud for all of eternity and he would still stand back up to fight again. "BULLSHIT" Henry scream as he stood from his chair. "He wouldn't do that. How could you say that he would do such a thing?!"

Henry rushed to his room slamming the door. He clawed at his chest and screamed his lungs out no matter what he couldn't accept that his brother was gone. There was no possible way his brother as strong as a mountain would take his own life.

No matter what Henry did the pain in his chest would not go away. He clawed and clawed till there was blood everywhere and he passed out from blood loss. His final thoughts before passing out were of the student.

It could only have been him he had to be the reason. He had to have done something. He or his family had to have done something and he would not let them go. Ever.
