I put a spell on you.

As I stood in the garden rage burning through my veins all I could think of was that day. That day I found him. All this rage was built up because of her, because he trusted his own mother and she didn't do anything to help him. I stood there and I heard the sliding glass door open and then close again. I didn't look behind me because if it was her I wouldn't be able to control myself I may actually hurt her the woman who gave me life. It was heavy footed person, I looked to my right, my eyebrow slightly arched. It was Alex and Kyle.
"who was Luca?" Alex asked me.
I Looked at Kyle who nodded at me. "I was one of a twin, Luca Tre Jackson. We were so close. All three of us were close"I nodded a Kyle "We were both so different. He never touched drugs, he never drank, never smoked, never broke the law but we were so close still even though we were so different. Then when were 16 he started hearing these voices. And then he started to see things, like a dog. You know? when they are just chilling out then suddenly they look up and stare at something. He would do that. And would look over your shoulder when he would speak to you. He told me when it had been going on for a year and half. So 17 nearly 18. Then from there it all escalated. I told him to speak to someone a doctor or a therapist. But he didn't. Then he told me he was having suicidal thoughts. That they weren't just thoughts, he had tried. And I cried I begged him to get help. I begged for weeks. He told my mom. and then she was the best mom. But she had been with Daniel and I don't know, he changed her. She wasn't the same mom" I light up another smoke and took a deep drag. "She looked at her 18 year old baby and told him to man up and get over it" My voice was laced with disgust and hatred for that woman "He begged her for months to help him get help. and she just said the same thing over and over. On the 81st day of begging. He went out and bought 4 bags of coke. He sniffed it all and when that didn't kill him instantly. He took the blades out of the razors. And he slit his wrists vertically and horizontally. He butchered his wrist. All over the bathroom floor" I looked up and stared Alex in the eyes " I found him. I called the ambulance they got him in time. They placed him in a medically induced coma. And he had a breathing tube because they said his body was too traumatised by what he did to himself and all the drugs he took. He died a week later. Karen and Daniel got married two weeks later with none of us there in Mexico. Two months later on my, on our 19th birthday she announced that she was moving us all out here. A month after that we moved and now here we are" I looked up to Karen's bedroom then looked back at Alex and Kyle "She killed my brother my twin. Karen killed her son. and she pretends like nothing happened."
Alex stood there processing the whole thing that happened to him and our family.
"Kyle told me you guys wanna move out. I found an house in town. Near the college and the tattoo shop" He took out a folded stack of paper from his back pocket and handed it to us.
Kyle and flicked through it all. It looked amazing. Decent rent. Just looked like a beautiful apartment. amazing kitchen, theres was one main bathroom then every bedroom had an en suite. a huge bath which is my dream. Over looking the city skyline.
" Alex this is amazing, Omg thank you... Its three bedrooms?" I asked
"Yeah if you guys want a third roommate?"
"Of course my love" I walked over and gave him a cuddle
"Good cause we have a meeting with the landlord & estate agent tomorrow" We all laughed
"Ink, do we have enough?"
I shrugged, we all went up stairs and I grabbed a safety deposit box that was hidden under my bed. I counted all the money inside. We had $5,000 saved between us.
"Yeah I think we have enough for a deposit and rent. l've also got pay day in two days and so do you"
We nodded at each other, Alex went off home, Kyle and I sat smoking in the garden laughing about how sick this was gonna be when we move out and have our own space and our garden. Laughing about how we could grow our own plants.
"Hey Ink?"
"Yeah K, whats up?"
"Don't screw this up, don't sleep with him because he's there. If he's living with us theres a commitment there. Please Ink"
I looked at my brother deep in the eyes "yeah sure ok. I won't go there. I wanna be out of here as much probably more than you"
Kyle made a bed on my bedroom floor. Because the hospital made me scared to sleep on my own that something will happen in the night.
