Your mother was hit while saving you. You were still sobbing beside your mother’s lifeless body, your hands trembling as you tried to hold hers, now so unbearably cold. The air in the emergency room felt suffocating, the scent of disinfectant mixed with the crushing grief weighing down on your chest.

Suddenly, a strong hand yanked you away roughly. You almost lost your balance from the sudden pull. When you looked up, you saw Jake, your older brother. But the expression on his face wasn’t concern or sympathy, it was rage burning in his eyes.

"You…," his voice was hoarse, filled with restrained emotion.

SLAP!

A hard slap from your father landed on your cheek, making your head snap to the side. Your skin burned, but the accusation in their eyes hurt even more.

"Because of your carelessness, Mom is dead!" your father’s voice echoed through the room.

Jake didn’t hold back either. Without giving you a chance to defend yourself, he shoved you hard, sending your back slamming against the wall with a painful thud. Your breath hitched at the impact.

"You’re a murderer!" Jake growled, his deep voice laced with hatred you had never seen from him before. "Mom was there because of you. If it weren’t for you, she’d still be alive!"

His eyes, once warm and protective, were now cold and sharp—like daggers piercing straight into your soul.
