1 Goodbye, Cruel World (1)

(Rewrite)

Inside of the giant hospital, in room 666 laid a young man on a bed hooked up to multiple machines.

The young man would be seen as quite handsome if it weren't for the multiple burn marks and scars that litter his body and face, even his once silky hair is all cut and burned.

"It's a miracle the kids even alive after everything he's been through" Spoke a man in a white doctors outfit with pity in his voice.

"Fix him! He has an acting gig coming up and there's a lot riding on this! Is there anything we can do about this Dr. Swanson?" Another man spoke up, he was quite big but he wore expensive clothing and had an impatient tone.

"I recommend surgery and extensive physical therapy to help his healing process and maybe he can be back home in 5 months, and that's with supervision and no straining activities."

"What?! Are you crazy! I'm discharging him now. All I have to do is get him a wig and some cover up and nobody will know he's hurt!"

"Sorry, Mr. Williams, but I cannot allow you to do that. Even though he is your son, this is the biggest hospital in the world and it'd tank our reputation if something like this got out." Dr. Swanson loved his job and swore an oath that he'd let none come to harm under his watch.

"You won't allow me? I am the biggest shareholder of this hospital! Keep this quiet and I won't make your life miserable, okay? Here, take this as well."

As the chubby man opens his phone and presses some buttons, the doctor gets a notification and goes to check.

*DING*

[Anonymus sent you $150,000]

"Haha! I never get why you're so obsessed with the kid when you're the richest man on the planet."

Money is truly the universal language, what oath? Oath's aren't going to pay off his debts. He'd be crazy to offend someone like Mr. Williams some kid, no matter how famous he was.

"I'm running for President, and he's the most loved person in the world with billions of fans. His fame can assure me my chance as well as help me make powerful allies, If only the damn kid wasn't so stubborn with abusing that fame I'd never have to go this far, worthless piece of shit!" Mr. Williams wanted to take his anger out on the sleeping boy but he couldn't damage the merchandise any further.

"Whatever, just keep me out of this…sorry kid, that's just how the world works…" Dr. Swanson shook his head, muttering the last part silently.

What both parties failed to notice is the teen was awake and had his phone hidden in his blankets recording them

"Hello, Master, Young Master is awake and in his room, we have already cleaned his wounds as instructed."

Mr. Williams arrived home and was informed by a maid of the current situation. He nodded towards her and headed towards his sons room.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Without even waiting for a response the man barges in anyway

"Damn, you could put Monks to shame with your patience, Father"

Said the boy on the bed, his voice laced with sarcasm

"Shut your mouth and get ready for tomorrow you have a gig coming up, I also need you to promote to your social medias about my campaign, got that Kent?" Mr. Williams ordered sharply before turning to leave.

"I can barley even move right now and you want me to act tomorrow? Are you stupid old man?! And no I'm not promoting your campaign, you abuse your power enough already! Now leave me alone."

The poisionus words seemed to hit a nerve as the chubby Mr. Williams turned so red you'd think he was related to a strawberry

"Mind your tongue, Boy! Need I remind you of the consequences of disobeying me? You just left the hospital, and you can barley move. You may not care what I do to you, but I wonder how your dear sister Alice would fare?"

The killing intent filling the room would be like being in the bottom of the ocean, if there was anything like that here in this world, but alas instead there was an extremely cold glint in the young mans eyes followed by unbridled rage.

"You better not fucking think about touching her again you bastard!"

The last time his 'father' hit his sister was 8 years ago when they were 10, her being naturally fragile resulted in her jaw being dislocated and her eye swelling.

The pain it brought him to hear his sister sob and brokenly mutter "brother save me" has destroyed his relationship with his father to irrepreable points.

All he can do now is wait until he is free from this lunatic now that he's 18 and can take his sister and move out.

"Fine, I'll do it, just leave her alone."

"Good, now take this pain reliever and these icy hots to help you recover better"

Kent swallowed the medicine and applied the icy hot before drifting to sleep again

<Kent's room, 9:01 PM>

Kent awoke to hurried footsteps scrambling to his door, knowing it's his sister who gets home from school at 9, he has a smile on his face as he waits for her.

"Brother! Are you okay? Why are you home right now? Did something happen to you?!"

Kent smilied at his sisters antics before calming her down.

"I'm fine, Alice, calm down, it's just a minor scratch"

As he said this he put on the best smile he could and clearing his eyes of any show of weakness…unfortunately he tried on the wrong person.

"Brother… I'm the one person your acting skills don't work on… I can tell you're suffering and you smell of makeup and powder. And your hair is a little less colorful than usual, what's going on?!"

Kent frowned at his sisters detective skills, but since they're twins they've been together since birth.

Kent still remembers the day before their mother died and she told them to always protect each other no matter the situation.

That they're connected on a special level and nothing can separate them, not even death.

His mother even handed him a necklace that she always wore and told him that they can all be a family again in the next life.

Kent laughed as he remembered his mothers words on her deathbed, she's always been into the supernatural so he never paid attention to it, even if he believes it to be true since he can sometimes feel his sisters emotions and vice versa, which is how she currently knew he was lying and in great pain.

After telling her what happened and calming her down from crying he gently looked into her eyes as he had a sudden rush of determination.

'i have to put an end to my fathers reign, and take my sister out of here'

He wanted his sister to be happy, she's already missed out on a good childhood, he can't let her continue to suffer.

Although he had this determination, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread.

"Alice it's getting late, you should go to sleep now. I'll see you tomorrow after my show. Once i heal i'll take up far away from that crazy man and i promise you'll be happy."

Alice's eyes shook for a second and her heart started racing, she was nervous because he was nervous. She decided to trust her brother and climbed in the bed with him and tried to fall asleep.

<Kent's Room 5:00 AM>

Kent woke up feeling oddly better but still in a lot of pain as he left a note for Alice.

Kent then got ready and left with his father, for the day that unbeknownst to him, will mark the worst time of his life.

<AJ's Acting House 9:00 AM>

{1st Person POV - Kent}

Getting ready to turn my life around, I received the help of my long time best friend, Jake.

Jake is also from a big family that's apart of politics as his father is running to be mayor.

Knowing the time was near, I shook off my nerves and ignored the feeling of dread that reached crazy levels, I need to change My and Alice's future.

"I'd like to address to the public that my father, also know as 'Future President Williams' is an abusive man who uses his kids and power to suppress people, he even wanted me to support his reign by using my fanbase, I want to bring this to light to get him arrested and save our world from his tyranny!"

I kept reciting what i was going to say in my mind over and over again.

The event is finally starting, Jake and I will expose my father for all his abuse and illegal doings. I'll get him arrested and move away with my sister somewhere safe, and with me and Jake being top 2 for most popular men in the world we'll have billions on our side…or so I thought.

Unfortunately i was too naive, too trusting.

Everything. Went. Wrong.

Everything!

As I sat there scrolling on my phone i found that all the voice recordings, video evidence, witness testimonies, and picture evidence I had saved up over the years was all gone!

I look up to find Jake since i know he has the backups for them luckily, only to see he's by my father setting something up.

That's when it happened, my downfall.

*VIDEO START*

"*Sob* I went to Kent's concert and I met him with my backstage pass, I was the biggest fan and it was awesome to meet him, but later he ended up bringing me to his office and forcing himself on me! I was only 15 at the time! *crying*"

'what…what's going on? Who is that girl?! I've never met her before why is she lying?'

It kept going… thousands of girls and boys all saying I've taken advantage of or scammed them.

I've never met any of them except some from my school who were even in my personal friend group… even childhood friends that I've hung out with… I never did any of those things.

*VIDEO END*

The crowd all glared daggers at me, it felt like hell having millions of eyes staring at you in pure hate and disgust.

Then, the icing on the cake…

"Can you all hear me? Hello everyone. It saddens me to see how my own son acts and I have nobody but myself to blame. After the death of my beloved wife i may not have been there enough to guide my son."

'Why…how?… why….'

"But i have Jake here to thank, as he was my sons ex-bestfriend he found out of his atrocious deeds and brung them forth to me with no hesitation, this evil should be eradicated at once!…Such behavior is fitting for my new son-in-law and the son of my Vice President, Mr. Redd."

Son in law? Vice President…so that's it, his father is the Vice President now, and Jake has always had a crush on my sister… even if he tried to play it off or hide it.

I can't let them be together, he'd ruin her life.

As I was being escorted over to the podium I tried to grab the officers gun to put an end to these monsters, alas, I'm still pretty injured from yesterday and this isn't some miracle story for me, I was quickly tackled, breaking another rib and coughing up blood from internal injures I already had being disturbed again.

Impulsive, but i'm desperate.

"This situation pains me greatly. Unfortunately nobody is safe from justice, not even my own son! Please, officer, take him away."

The man, he doesn't deserve to be called my 'Father', at the podium said with a heavy tone that drew in pity from the crowd.

'Fake motherfucker! There's no real sadness in that! And wait a second, don't I know this 'officer'?'

'I do! its my fathers secret security guard he has, this is bad'

Before I could try to refute anything, the 'officer' elbows me in the throat while making it look like I'm trying to resist.

As I'm dragged away my vision fades to black as the mental shock and physical pain is too much for my body, the final icing on the 'fuck you' cake by god being all my old wounds opening up and I start to bleed profusely.
