Chapter 8

Arrgh...How I hate it when my emotions get the best of me.

"Fine I will have dinner,but just a morsel. I'm not in the mood.

"And I know I'm the reason, Peter announced his presence.

Leo walked out and ascended the stairs like a marathon, banging his door hard.

Sometimes I wonder if this is the only best thing he's good at,I mean he wants to destroy our ear drums.

"Peter!!!!

"Oh yh sweetheart,how was your day? 

Lisa rolled her eyes and walked out. 

Peter turned to Alice...Are you also mad at me. He asked with warm eyes.

Hmmm Naaa

Phew,you will always be my Princess.

Come let me walk you to your bedroom.

She happily hooked her arms around her dad's extended arm.

Leon's (P.O.V)

He threw his files across the black sofa in his room. Every single item  in the room was black. The only colourful thing was his sister's picture which hanged across his bed.

He walked into the bathroom and turn on the cold shower which soothed his aching muscles.

After his evening bath,he took his sleeping pills.

I wonder if this is of any use,he angrily threw the capsules across the room.

He ran his hands in his disheveled hair. He was scared to even sit on the bed. The sleeping pills he took everyday didn't help him in anyway. His sleeps were always short cause in the midway he had nightmares about what happened fifteen years ago.

His past was still hunting him until this day. He knew perfectly that the lack of sleep could break him down , but what could he do? He was cold and distant so nobody really knew what he had been going through every night.

Lisa suspected it atimes but he always assured her he was fine.

His Uncle and Aunt have been good parents to him and his sister. Sometimes he wondered what could have happened to them if it wasn't for their care and help.

His Uncle cared and showered love to his sister,but he trained him to be heartless and Ruthless if he wanted make it and compete with the outside world,it didn't mean he loved him any less.

Lisa cared for both of them as if they were her very own. She had no children of her own because of cancer.

He let out a heavy sigh. When will I be at peace. Damnit.

*Door flinched* Leon are you asleep? Lisa walked into the room.

"No I'm about to.

She walked up to him. She gently lay her palm on his cheeks as she smiled warmly and stroked it gently.

"You are not fine,son.

How many times should I tell you that...

"I'm fine ,she interjected helpfully blinking her eye gently.

He removed her hand irritated and walked away from where she stood.

Leon,I'm your mom she said with teary eyes.

You are not my Mom,you are just my Aunt,he retorted angrily.

Lisa walked up to him while his back faced her.
