Beautifully Twisted - {A Jerome/Gotham Story}

Perfect Family (Flashback)

{Ana's POV}

Walking home from school that day, I couldn't help but smile. Dad was off work today, and we planned on going out. Without mom. Thank goodness..

I ran up the stairs of our building, noting the door was slightly open. What? I started feeling a little panicked, slowly opening the door. I walked in, slowly, seeing dad laying on the couch, blood all over the wall behind him.

My eyes widened. I ran over to him, pulling on his arm, trying to get him to look at me. He wouldn't budge.

"Dad? Dad?!" I pushed his arm, watching it fall over the side of the couch, limp. I slowly backed up, fear lacing through me. I screamed, running towards him and moms room.

"Mom! Mom?!" She was no where in sight. I fell to the floor, putting my head between my legs, crying. Crying until my cheeks hurt.

"Oh Ana. Poor poor wimpy Ana. It's only a dead body! Get up and stop your whining!" Mom pulled me up, hard, by my arm, dragging me into the living room.

"Dads dead mom! Do something!" She glared at me, shaking me.

"Do something?! Do something?! He's dead! What more is there to do you stupid girl??" She pushed me to the ground, towering over me. Sirens started going off outside. I tried to get up, but she put her foot on my hand, crushing her foot down. I yelped in pain.

"Don't you say a word! When they get up here, act like we both found him." She lowered down, getting right in my face, smirking.

"Oooor, you'll die right along with him." She laughed, letting me go. I jumped up, wrapping my arms around myself. She.. She knew he was dead?

I looked at him, one more time, when tears filled my eyes. Then rage. That bitch! She could care less about us. She never has cared. And now he's dead. And someday, dear old mommy here, will be as well....
