(7 year old Brandon)

"Brandon, listen go and hide inside that table and no matter what you hear just don't come out. Promise me you will not come out." Mommy said and I promised her.

"Now go!" Mommy said as she kissed my forehead.

"I love You!" She whispered letting tears flowing out of her eyes.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" I asked.

"Sara!" An angry voice shouted from living room.

"Don't come out, Brandon." She said and wiped her tears.

"So here you are, bitch." A man shouted at mommy as he came inside my parent's room.

"Sara, where are you?" Daddy's voice came from the living room. The man locked the bedroom door and made his way to where mommy was standing. He ripped her shirt off and I closed my eyes not wanting to see what was happening. One minute later I opened my eyes just to see that man kissing my mommy.

"You told her, you fucking bitch. No one, no one messes with Sean Leonard, NO ONE." He shouted at her as he unzipped his pants then he removed each and every clothe my mommy was wearing.

I was confused as he took his pee pee out of his pants and touched it with mommy's. I didn't know what was happening. Is he hurting my Mommy? What are they doing? Why is my mommy all naked?

"Stop it!" Mommy begged.

"Honey, today we are going to eat outside. You don't need to cook dinner." Daddy said again from living room.

"Stop it!" Mommy cried.

"Why did you close the door?" Daddy said as he tried to open the room's door.

The old man took gun out of his pocket and went to open the door. Daddy gasped as he saw mommy's condition.

"How dare you?" Daddy punched the man on his jaw and went towards mama.

"Sara!" Daddy asked and started covering her with his jacket.

"Mommy, Daddy!" I cried still sitting inside the table. The man looked around as he heard my voice and smiled evily as he found me. He pulled me out of the table and pointed his gun on my head.

"Step back." The man said to my daddy. Daddy turned around and gasped as he saw me.

"Step back or I will kill him. And you know I will." He challenged daddy

"Step back, Ryan. Step back." Mommy forced daddy.

"Please!" She begged.

Daddy closed his eyes as he stepped back and the man made his way to my mommy again. He was holding my hand and his gun with one hand as he unzipped his pants again and repeated what he was doing to mommy.

"Daddy, mommy needs your help." I asked daddy to help mommy as she was crying.

"Please stop it! Don't hurt my mommy. Hurt me instead." I said but the man didn't stop and was pushing and pulling his pee pee out of mommy's.

"Please stop!" Mommy begged.

"This is what happens when you try to ruin mafia's life." He said still torturing mommy but his gun was pointed at my daddy.

"Look! you bitch." He said.

SHOT! He pulled the trigger.

"Ryan!" Mommy cried and I alsp couldn't help my tears as I saw blood pouring out of my daddy's forehead. So this is the real gun this man has.

"Its your time now." He said to my mommy.

My mama looked at me and pointed at the door, she was asking me to leave the room and go and hide somewhere but I will show her that I am her brave son who is gonna save her from this monster. I grabbed the lamp which was on the side table and hit the man hard on his head. He turned around and looked at me angrily.

"Monster." I said.

"Oh little boy, I am indeed a monster." He agreed with me.

"I will give you my every toy, I have loads of chocolates also and loads of candies, take everything but please leave my mommy." I cried.

"Pathetic little fucked up boy you are." He said using all the bed words that my mommy warns me about.

"Leave him alone! Brandon, you're gonna grow up as a gentleman. You are gonna be a very responsible man, you're gonna marry the woman you love and you're gonna have loads of babies, you have a very long journey ahead. One day you will know everything and you will understand everything what actually happened just know what I did was to protect someone from this monster." Mama said explaining me.

"Protecting who?" I asked, confused.

"Come here!"

I went to her as she whispered, "Your future wife." She smiled. "She's an angel. You're gonna love her."

"Enough with your son and mother drama. Say good bye to your mother and welcome your orphan life. Always remember one thing that this dreadful day happened because of her, and you'll know who's her later." He said.

SHOT! Another shot was heard and that's how I lost both of my parents.

As tears ran out of my eyes, I sat in the middle of my parent's grave.

"I miss you both." I told them.

"It's so difficult without you two." I said.

"Her eyes speaks innocence, mama. Sometimes I don't want to hurt her but remembering how he tortured you, I can't stand it. I can't stand her, mama. I used to love her I used to think that she is my princess but she isn't, Alex told me everything, mama. And I also do remember his words. You both are in your graves just because of her. Just because of her. I hate her." I wiped my tears as I told them.

"How nice of you to think like that of her." My heart mocked me.

"She is the reason behind your awful childhood." My mind reminded me.

"You can't do this to her, Alex or mama." My heart said.

"You can, Brandon. Just divorce her and Alex and mama will understand." My mind dibated.

"And what about your promise to grandpa?" My heart reminded me the promise I made.
