                                                  CHAPTER 1 

              "The Feeling of Emptiness can lead to seek evil"
 

                                              Charlie's POV
 

People say that lack of Parental love can cause emptiness in ones Child. Really I didn't expect it to turn out to be my own case. My name is Charlie Wilson and I'm 18 years old. 

My Mum left me when I was just 13 years old. She had this argument with my dad one night about cheating on her severally and my dad being toxic in their relationship. 
 

That night while I was tucked in my bed trying to block their arguments from my ears  I just plugged my ear piece on both ears.

I heard clattering of objects and rumbling and suddenly they all just die down when I began to  hear the song Faded by Alan Walker playing.

I wouldn't lie it usually calms my mind down from thinking the opposite way. Mum's absent was like a scar that never tried to heal, up until this very day.

The taste of bitterness never left my heart. I thought severally that she didn't even care to text, call or even send letters, like did I ever exist to her as a son?

Ever since that day she left us, my dad became  more of a total disgrace to Fatherhood. I mean being a parent is not all about the money, the wealth or fancy things you provide your kid with. Sometimes affections is needed, really it hurts I didn't grow up with that feeling up until now.

Sometimes I ask myself in the darkness of my room while I sat by the edge of my bed, tears rolling down my cheeks and carrying a heavy heart. Why was I born into this world?

There were something's really strange I realised about myself, something I couldn't open up to tell anyone most especially my Dad. I tried committing suicide with either the broken pieces of mummy's special vase in the store, or a sharp object and every time I tried it felt impossible.

What could this mean? I ask myself severally, as I would cut through my wrist yet the wound will just heal up by itself. It felt strange and funny as I played with this illusion of mine that felt real, leaving me with the question?

                                                   What am I?
