Alex POV:
I woke up with a bright sun shining on my face. I don't know what time of the day it was, but I heard a lot of murmurs. My eyes slowly adjusted to the broad bright day light. I saw alot of people staring at me. It was very uncomfortable, the way they looked at me and was murmuring each other. They must be judging me. But none of them came up and ask me anything. I saw myself, my soiled stained uniform. Suddenly the reality strikes me hard.
My dad.. I.. I killed him with my own hands.. And I fled away like a coward. But I didn't wanted to do that.. what will happen now? What do I do now? Mom... Mom will forgive me right? mom.. is.. is she ok.!?
A dark thought pass my mind. I hurriedly stood up and ran towards home. My legs felts weak and numb. But I tried to run towards home as fast as I could.
As soon as I reached home, I was welcomed by a sudden surprise. The front of my house was blocked with loads of people and two big press cars and a police van. I don't know what was happening. Press was interviewing the neighbours who were continuously talking. Suddenly I spot to female cops were dragging my mom out of our house. Mom has a blank face with no expression. I found myself choked on air when my eye spotted the shiny handcuffs of her hand.
I felt very weak and helpless. I ran to my mom with teary eyes and hold her hand and said, "Mom!! Why are you handcuffed!? Are they gonna jail you!? But mom it's me..." Before I could complete my sentence, I felt my right cheek burning as I feel on the ground. Mom slapped me. Suddenly everything was silent.
Mom screamed at me with hateful eyes, "You are just a piece of trash, I have given birth to. I shouldn't have brought you in this world. I should have killed you before." Now it seems my heart was burning. And its many times more than my physical pain. I spoke up, "But... Mom..."
"Don't call me mom with that dirty mouth of your. I hate you from the core of my heart. You are so disgusting. You were a pice of irritating burden to me, You are now, and will be always.You are my biggest mistake." Further mom could say anything, Mom was dragged away by the cops into the jeep. I was still on the ground. I saw her jeep left from the farthest corner of lane.
Something was not right. My body was numb. I am a mistake. I'm a curse. Shouldn't I die? I felt inner me shatter. My throat was burning. I tried to hold back my tears, but they burst out. Mom hates me. Dad hated me. I hate myself...
The press and media circled around me. They were continuously clicking picture of me. They wanna show the world how broken and shattered and helpless and weak I'm. They asked me questions one after another, "What is your name? Did your mom muddered your dad? Why did she did that? Did she also hitted you in past? Why she said that you are a mistake? What is the reason behind your mother's hate rate towards you? Did you do something?"
I don't know what they are saying. I don't liked the flashing of cameras. I tried to block their voice by covering my ears. "Please stop questioning!! Please stop taking pictures! I don't know! My mom loves me! I did nothing!! Please stop", I screamed with my broken voice. I feel so suffocated. It's hot. My cheeks, my chest is burning. My tears won't stop. Everything seems blurry. I shut my eyes closed. I feel dissy...

Mrs LeBlanc's (Alex's class teacher) POV:-
It's already noon. I'm on my way to Alex's house. I have seen him from when he was at nursery. He is such a bright kid. His parents should take care of him more. He is really gifted and talented. I wonder have he informed his parents or not.
I step down the bus and took the lane to Alex's house. I noticed a police van passed by me. I spot a woman in the car. Isn't she looked like Mrs McAdams? But that cannot be. I brushed if my thoughts and walked forward to Alex's house.
But as soon as I reached there, I was welcomed by a large crowd. There was press, media, reporters and lots of people. What's wrong!? I hurried between the crowd towards the front gate. My eyes widened to see Alex taking heavy breaths, while his hands covering his ears, eyes closed tightly and his knees near his chest, sitting on the ground.
I hurriedly went and pulled the shivering child into my embrace. Alex's body was burning and his clothes were wet. Press and media were still taking pictures. I shouted as I dialled Ambulance number, "If you not gonna stop clicking photos then I'm gonna call cops." Some of them murmured something and the crowd became to thin out.
I look at the shivering child into my embrace. He was shivering as he curled up more to my chest. I had tears in my eyes.
