Should I Give Up?
Npov
Hey, I'm not that bad. You just see me in a bad point of view. Change it to my view and see what it's like for me. To be homeless, hopeless even. To be out on the streets, fending for your sister and yourself. Having no parents to care for you when you're sick, or hurt, or hungry, need to be taken of. Bianca and I, that's what it's like for us. We have forgotten what feels to have family. To have someone love you, care for you, be there for you. We just want it back, we want to have a normal life. One that doesn't make us suffer, one that brings us love and care, friendship and people to be there for us anywhere. We want that, but we have never gotten it. At least, not for a long time. Not until our mother and father died. We are only trying to survive, don't try to hurt us for being who we are now, please.
I got thrown into the cage, I got up shakily. I had just got tortured but I had to stay strong. That's what Bianca had told me. Torture has gone on daily for us. Bianca and I. I'm about to break. Too much had gone on. I should just give up. But, that's not what Bianca has said. Stay strong, Nico. Don't show weakness or you'll die, she had said. That's what happened to mama and papa. "But it's hard!" I yelled, falling to my knees. My eyes stung from the sadness and hurt that filled my life. This is what my life has become. A torture chew toy. That's ironicly sad. Though, it wasn't much ironic. What else would happen to the thief of fortune, thief of anything he can out his hands on? I deserve it. I deserve everything that has been done to me. Every. Single. Thing.
I don't deserve being alive even. All I do is make the world sadder than it is. If I die, I would make others happier. Happy is all I've ever wanted. Happiness is something I long for. But, if I make other people unhappy by being here. I should just leave. I've heard that the afterlife is quite nice, relaxing. Maybe I should. Maybe I should let them. Let them kill me for my crimes. Yes, that's what should happen.
Though, how do I proceed this with Bianca right here with me? She'd know if I give up so easily. I want to give up so much, but I won't. For her. If it wasn't for her, I would be dead by now. She's helped me stay strong. Or, it's just I'm afraid to let Bianca die because I showed we can give up, we can accept our fate and die. This is more worse than anything I've ever imagined. And, trust me, I've imagined some awful, deadly, horrific things.
Bianca was finally thrown back into the cage after abut an hour. She always got more tortured than me because if always protected me and she needed punishment for that. She was determined to not let herself show weakness among her weakened state. But, this time she was different. She was thrown onto the cold, hard floor and she didn't get up. She stayed there, sobbing quietly. She picked up her head a bit before putting it back down, her body shaking from pain and sobs.
I crawl over to her, croaking, "Bianca? What's the matter?" She back away from me, yelling something I couldn't quite understand. She said it a bit of gibberish kinda way that was hard to understand. All I got out of it was, I could've lied earlier and bot have had to buffer this wife I have meow. Which made no sense. I tried to hug her but she looked up at me. Her eyes had a gash on it, going all the way down to the beginning of her lip. Blood leaked through it in waterfalls, my eyes leaked tears of waterfalls.
She had a hateful look in her remaining eye. "IF I DIDN'T JUST SAY YES, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THIS MESS! YOU WOULDN'T BEEN IN THIS! IF I GOT A JOB LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE, WE COULD'VE BEEN JUST US TWO AND NO PAIN AND REGRET! I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THIS, NICO!" She yelled, she got up and bang on the bars. "I GIVE, I GIVE, SIR! LET ME OUT! I JUST WANT TO GO SEE MY FAMILY AGAIN, I WANT TO BE GONE FROM THIS WORLD! PLEASE, GUARDS! TAKE ME AWAY AND KILL ME!"
I watched in horror as the guards came up to her, asking if she was sure. "YES, YES, GUARDS! KILL ME, DO IT! DO IT NOW, I AM THROUGH WITH THIS!" And that's it. She was taken out and I was left there by myself. Alone. Without anyone.
