The End-Chapter 3

Chapter 3

    "Angela, why have you been taking care of your brother," Kevin asked her as she went to make some food. She wanted to get her brother and friend up when lunch was ready for them.
    "My mother committed suicide about three years ago. My little brother didn't like my aunt to hold him, feed him, or do anything. I normally was the only one that could calm him down. My aunt was single, but she still was able to support us. I just can't let my brother die I love him," she said to Kevin. Kevin smiled at her because she was doing a good deed in taking care of her little brother. He felt bad that her mother had committed suicide. He didn't know what he would do if his mother went out that way.
    "I am sorry that you lost your mother though. It is really sad to hear," he responded to her.
    "I'm fine about it. My little brother is really cute when he wants to be," she said with a smile.
    "Who is the other little boy you have been taking care of," Kevin asked.
    "That is Tim I saved him because his mother was killed. I didn't want him to die so I just took him with me. He is a good little kid," she said. She finished making the food for the two little boys. She made some food for Kevin too since he was hungry. She wasn't hungry at all so she didn't want to eat. She stopped eating after her mother died and she eats every once in a while so that she doesn't die. This was just one of the days that she didn't want to eat.
    "Why aren't you eating?"
    "I'm not really hungry," she responded with a hint of sadness in her voice. Kevin could tell that she was upset. He didn't want to say anymore because he didn't want her to hate him. He liked her and didn't want to ruin anything. Angela just went into her room and woke the two little boys up. They woke up and smiled at Angela. Angela smiled back at them even though she was upset.
    Angela didn't really know why she was upset. She guessed it was because she didn't like telling people that her mother was killed. She was not really fine about it. She missed her mother a lot. She didn't know why her mother had left her with so much responsibility for her little brother. Since her mother had postpartum depression she had to go and kill herself. Angela was taking care of Adrian since he was a little baby. Her mother wouldn't even look at Adrian after he was born. She just wanted to tell her mother that she had left her with responsibility that was hard to handle. At night when Adrian was sleeping she would cry. She would be holding Adrian while she cried.
    "Angela, can you talk to me," Kevin said while eating his food. Angela just looked at him. She just smiled and she didn't know what to do.
    "Yeah."
    "I'm sorry that I made you think of your mother," he said with a frown. She just smiled at him.
    "It's fine. Do you think you can watch the kids for me? I want to take a shower," she asked.
    "Sure," he said. She went back to the kitchen and got a knife though. She wasn't going to tell anyone what she was going to do. When she gets upset she tries to hide it. She just uses the knife and digs it into her skin. When she went into the shower she let the water run over her for a few minutes. She had tears when she sliced her skin with the knife. She had always cried when she did that. She would always be depressed, but she didn't want to tell any body. She would keep it all locked up inside which was never a good thing.

I do agree with CDB. You said 'like in my day dream' a lot. I'm curious about that. And I'd love a bigger description. Like the panic, everyone screaming, running to shelter, tears, shoved in a place with people she barely knew, everyone is scared no one knows what to do. That kind of stuff. Its a great story, so take your time telling it. I love it so far though :)

I love it. But can you give more description on why and how the world ended? Just a thought.
