Brotherly_Love

Staring into the red rose as if it is the blue eyes of his departed Belinda, whom he wish to see one last time. Unable to accept the fact he is the reason, Russell reminisces on life before he knew of love and loss... “Here we go again” said Jonathan, speaking about being the fourth foster family the brothers have moved to. “Don’t get us kicked out again then!” Russell replied, but Jonathan ignored his younger brother. Growing up for the two was never easy, abused by their parents, expelled from school and never really having a true family or real friends, all they had was each other. As he stared deeper into the rose, his eyes lightened further. “Today we are here to talk about your problems” said a tall, strong, confident and proud woman, with her long, blonde hair flowing freely, her eyes as blue as the ocean, and her confidence radiating off her. Russell was astonished by her beauty but also by her confidence, he hang off every word that flowed from her lips however Jonathan showed his discouragement towards being at the counsellor’s. Flashes forward to after being the councillor/client relationship. Russell and Belinda soon found themselves on a date; the first thing he gave to her was a red rose from around the corner from her house. The two became inseparable to the point where Jonathan felt left out of Russell’s life. Russell was too wrapped up in his own love life to realize what was happening to his brother. As Russell and Belinda Planned their future, a future without Jonathan, he began to feel neglected to the put of not caring about life. He only loved his brother and wished for it ot return to the old days of the borthers versing the World, but he knew that wasn't possible while Belinda was in the picture. He thought about ways he could escape the situation, conjuring up the idea of murder at one point but realized this wasn't to fix anything. Jonathan started returning to his old ways of causing trouble and Russell and Belinda tried helping him but he chose not to care, he was repeatedly in trouble with the law and given his last warning. The life of the three was soon to change though and they were to never be the same. Jonathan attempted suicide on the night that changed everyone’s life, he was unsuccessful but needed to be taken to the hospital, Russell drove while Belinda kept pressure on the wound as it bled profusely. Russell was driving as fast as he could however he lost control of the car and hit into the rose bush then hitting the brick wall supporting the bush. he first picked the rose from for Belinda from. Belinda and Jonathan died instantly and Russell walked away injury free. 3 months later... Russell still blaming himself for their deaths, decided to visit Belinda’s parents for the first time since the crash and he chose to drive past the crash site. As he arrived at the crash site he realized one single red rose blossoming from the dead ones around it, Russell saw this as being Belinda forgiving him and picked the rose up. After returning from Belinda’s parents, he sat on their bed staring into the rose realizing that it’s time to move on...
