Winter 05, 1861 I feel like I'm rotting in here. As soon as winter has arrived and Mom has already been buried, her jewels have been thrown by the coffin, buried more than three meters from the surface. But I can't let them be consumed by Mom's putrid body, they were gifts that Aunt Daisy left for me, they're mine by right and my mother had stolen them.

When my mom was killed, Aunt Kelly was the only person, besides Zack, who completely understood how I felt. Mom was her sister and we were all a mess, but we had each other to lean on. I just wish she wasn't married to an asshole. "Sorry I'm so late. I stopped by Skylar's house to get some notes," I lie. She doesn't need to know how badly my heart aches for Zack or my parents. If she did, she'd probably send me to another shrink and I know that won't work.

"Stop acting like a spoilt brat Etienne and spare my mother the stress of looking after an adult like you, you’ve been nothing but a burden since you started living with her, now look you almost killed her…I swear if she had died, I would have ended you". his aunt said to him with a bit of mockery in her voice. "Yes, you are right I am, adult so I can look after myself and granny, I don’t need your aid and you can go ahead and threaten me all you want…but nothing is going to make me stay you and your pedophile of a husband".

Aunt Maya called off out walking towards me with open arms. “Aunt maya.” I responded with a smile as she engulfed me in a tight hug.

“Yes, ma’am.” Aunt May studied him for a long moment, eyes searching his face not with anger, but with a weary curiosity. “She loved you,” she said simply. The words hit harder than any accusation.
