The day he left

Flashbacks to the day that Jacob left :

On that day my dad was beating Jacob as he usually does but with much more cruelty than last times, at first I couldn't tell why and I was so confused about what he was saying what money was he talking about ?

" What college you little brat ? you think you're good enough to get to college you're nothing Jacob and you'll never be enough to get anywhere you're lucky enough to be under the same roof as me ", that was so cruel and unnecessary my brother is so smart and he can go to the college if he had money to pay for it he's currently the number one student in his school with everything against him he keeps on doing his best yet dad is trying to pull him down in the dirt because he knows that he can never be as good as him.

I kept on hearing Jacob's sobs from my room unable to go check on him and few minutes later Chase came rushing into it and he was crying like crazy saying that it was all his fault and that he was sorry but I was so confused what happened ?

Chase's pov :

I couldn't really talk all what I wanted to do is to cry and let it all out, I even felt like I didn't have the right to cry like what am I crying for wasn't it all my mistake and my own choice why I had to act like a coward and do that to my own brother.

" I found some money in Jacob's small box that he keeps under the bed and it was written on it for college and it was a good amount of money so I got really jealous and I can't explain how I felt it was like why it's unfair why is he having it all, he's smart and good looking and now he'll be able to go to college while I can't even study because I'm just not able to have average grades ", Sissel took a step away from me and looked straight into my eyes asking me one question with a very cold tone " what have you done Chase ?".

" I told my father about the money ",I was absolutely not expecting her to slap me that hard but what can I say or do I was a jerk and I deserve more than this it's just heartbreaking that I might lose two siblings at one.

"Why would you do that, don't you think that it's unfair that he's the one getting abused on a daily basis? wasn't it enough that he's not living his teenage years normally or that he wasn't able to live his childhood normally isn't enough that he's traumatised and unwell most of the time isn't unfair for him too", every word that she said is right and I can't argue on anything it is indeed unfair for him but I was too selfish to see it.

I knew that Sissel has a white heart because no matter what I do she'll always be there for me and this time was no difference because she hugged me after slapping me some more and tried to make me feel better, on this moment Jacob walked in and the look on his face was just too broken he didn't say a word just stood there and looked at us I tried to say something but he raised his hand as a stop sign.

This moment felt like it would last forever and he really didn't say a thing, after a while he said 'goodbye dear family' and left the room none of us understood what happened and our biggest mistake is that none of us followed him to see what he was up to because the next day he was gone.

He didn't leave any notes behind just took his belongings and fled the house to only god knows where, our dad was determined that no one was allowed to search for him and that it was better for the family that way where's our mom during all of that you may ask ? well she was working and when she knew about this she said that it's his decision and maybe he'll be better off that way because getting on his father's nerves everyday wasn't the best thing anyway.

Aidan's pov :

His sister !!

I can't believe what I'm hearing right now how does that make any sense at all, she never spoke about him and I don't really know much about the guy but that's crazy and very unexpected Jay needs to hear about that as soon as possible because he clearly doesn't have a clue.

I can tell that Sissel is about to cry and the atmosphere between them seems a bit off too maybe they have family issues and that's why we didn't know that they were siblings that's the closest thing to reality as I can see. Jacob kept just on staring at her and then he hugged her trying to make her feel better because she obviously wasn't.
