Chapter 2

"I say do it!"

He did not waste anytime, he starts to squirm his hand around. After a minute or so, he finally get to free it.

As he were about to go run up the stairs, Alec trip him. His chin hit the stair hard and blood starts to drip from his mouth.

Alec grab his hair aggressively and hit it continuesly on the stair. His forehead starts to bleed and he become unconscious.

He drag him to a wooden pole and tie him there. He punch Bryce at the face before he make his way out of the basement.

He take some of his money and the house key before going out.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

He tie his long black hair with a hairband on his wrist before he sit down on a bench at a park.

He kick a can that were laying on the ground as hard as he could and scream at the top of his lungs.

"I can't stand it! I wish I could finish my life!"

Without him realizing, a young boy were staring at him.

It takes about 5 minute for him to calm himself down but when he opens his eyes, he sees a boy is standing still infront of him.

"Uhhh.. what are you doing?"

"Are you okay Mister?"

"Yeah I'm okay.." he say leaning back on the bench.

"You don't seem okay to me.." the boy reply, tightening his arm around his stuffed animal.

"Where's your mother kid?"

"I dont know.." he start to sob.

"Oh my god.." he say putting both of his palm oh his face.

"Jason! Jason where are you!"

The boy immediately turn his head around when he hear his name being called.

"Elena!" He say running to the voice.

"Elena?.."

"Jason! Here you are!"

A young girl seem to be running closer to him.

"Jason! Thank God you're okay! And thank you-"

Alec raise his eyebrows in confusion because she didn't finish her sentence.

"Alec!! It's been a long time!!" She says in an exited tone but Alec just sit there in deep confusion.

"I'm Elena Clark!"

"Wait wait" Alec stop her because he can't seem to remember her.

"You don't remember me?"

Alec shakes his head slowly. It were all written on his face that he's trying to remember where does this 'Elena Clark' come from.

"You may not remember me but I think you'll remember Brody" she say with a smile.

"Brody.. you mean that mean pittbull dog that bit me many times on my ankle? Wait.... Are you perhaps Sharks?"

"Hi Lion" she say with a bright smile.

°°°°°°°°°°°

"So who's that boy?"

"Oh this is Jason! He's my brother's son" she say slurping her mango smoothie.

"Ah I see.. by the way what are you doing here? Did you move?"

"No I'm just here visiting brother for a few days..how about you? Did you live here?"

"Yeah..after my parent die at the incident, I moved here with my uncle.."

"Hmm..how many years has it been since then.."

"It's been nine years Elena.."

"That's a long sum of time.. do you want some?"

She say giving him the cup she's holding.

"No I'm fine.. do you want to head back to your home now?"

"Well" she take a quick glance at her watch

"It's already late so, yeah"

"Let me walk you home"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah it's fine. Let's go" he say as he stand up from the bench.

"I'll go fetch Jason real quick"

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Thanks for walking me home Alec"

"Yeah, no problem"

When they were talking together, her brother walk out.

"Elena, who's this?"

"Oh Roland. He's my friend, we were just talking a little"

"Hi, I'm Roland" he say stretching his arm out with a smile.

"Im Alec" they shake hands.

"Do you want to stop by for dinner?"

"No thanks, I'm fine. I'm heading home"

"Oh, then do you want me to send you there?"

"It's okay, I want to drop by somewhere"

"Bye Alec!" She say waving her hand to him.

"Bye Elena" he say waving back.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It were 6.30 p.m. when he's at the convenience store. He buy some bread, apples, some cup noodle, and some instant porridge.

After he pay for it, he goes straight to his uncle's house. When he reach there, he notice that the front door were open.

"But I locked the door and tie him on the pole..the knife! I didn't take the knife out!"

He quickly run into the house and go to the basement only to see that he's gone.

"Where did he go!!"

He toss the plastic bag away and run outside. When he were freaking out, he hear that his name were being called by a similar voice.

"Alec!"

He turn his head to the right and see grandma Amaya were calling him.

"Grandma!"

"Alec, are you looking for your uncle?"

She says loud enough for Alec to hear from two houses away.

Just when he's about to reply her, he sees his uncle behind grandma Amaya with a brick on his hand.

"I say shut up!" He slam the brick hard on her head. Shortly after, she become unconscious.

"Bryce! What did you do to her!!"

He run so fast that Bryce couldn't even lift his feet of the ground.

"What. Did. You. Do!" He say punching Bryce's face who were now laying helplessly on the ground.

He then start to drag him to the house. Because the one that's controlling Alec now is anger, he couldn't care less.

He drag him from the feet with his face bleeding from the punch. He tries to free himself by squirming his feet hardly but Alec stomp on it on the back of the knee with all his might.

Bryce scream in pain loudly. Alec were pretty sure that the whole neighborhood hear it but they won't care.

It's because the place they're staying right now, is full with crimes.

He drag him to the house as fast as he could, lock him in the bathroom, take his phone and run back to grandma Amaya.

He immediately calls 911 when he sees that her head were bleeding nonstop. He tries to cover it with his shirt but it were too much. He then starts to sob.

°°°°°°°°°°°°

After the ambulance take her, he starts to walk back home in despair.

He open the door to the bathroom and find that Bryce were unconscious. He fill a bucket with water and splash it to him.

He immediately wakes up and gasp for air. Alec throw the bucket at his face and get out from there.
