Trigger warning: Suicide
"I was told to abort this child but God
knows why I insisted on having you," Blair's mom lamented as she always did.
She said these exact words at least twice every three days.
She had three children but Blair seemed to be the only one who managed to get on her nerves. When she was a senior in high school, she got pregnant and chose to have him. This led to her marriage with a man who grew to hate her.
He felt like she had destroyed his life and dreams of partying every night. Blair's mom, Quincy, was from a family with extremely strict parents. They disowned her when she got pregnant so John, her husband's family forced him to take responsibility.
They had two more kids following his mom's probing. However, the moment she passed away, he walked out on them. That was 10 years ago, Blair had been 7 then and the twins, Micheal and Michelle had been three.
Quincy adored her twins. She nurtured them with love but hated Blair since she felt like her choice to keep him had ruined her life. She was 35, with only a high school diploma and no job experience since her mother-in-law had treated her like a princess. John had to cover all their expenses and all Quincy had to do was take care of the kids and look pretty.
Even when she died, she had left all of her fortune to the kids and Quincy, so even when John left, they lived comfortably for a few years until she somehow used up their whole inheritance.
Quincy was obsessed with luxury. They lived in the wealthiest neighborhood, and the twins had to have the best of everything, and even Bl, their air, whom she had, was not allowed to dress casually, lest she be shamed. Most people didn't know that he was actually her son. He was an exact replica of her ex-husband. Maybe that's one of the reasons she hated him. He reminded her of the man who had abandoned her.
Throughout their time together, John had never shown affection towards her and the kids. He was rarely home and when he was around, all he did was complain about how they had ruined his life. Even the twins were born through IVF.
Blair was a child who needed attention but the only person who loved him had been his grandmother but he barely had any memories of her. The twins teased him and pulled pranks on him, mildly bullying him in the process since their mother barely cared what they did. She sold her body in order to afford her outrageous lifestyle and Blair had to step in as a helper at home so that they could save on employee expenses.
He had been homeschooled most of his life, courtesy of his grandmother for fearing that he would be bullied at school because of his extremely slim body. Even when she passed, Quincy kept on homeschooling him because she didn't want anyone to know that he was her son.
She hated that he looked like a female version of John despite being a boy so she didn't want people knowing about him. She always talked down on his appearance and so Blair never looked in the mirror. When people came over, he had to stay upstairs the entire time and was not allowed to leave their fenced home no matter what. He last left the place to attend his grandmother's funeral.
He had grown distant with the people he had met when he was younger through socializing, and was not allowed to interact with people online or else his devices were to be confiscated. He only had them for school and he had terrible social anxiety so he didn't dare post or text people online. That's how he ended up as a loner.
He was constantly surrounded by ridicule and scorn and his only glimpse of joy was media. He occasionally had panic and anxiety attacks yet no one cared. When he felt that he had finally had enough, he overdosed using his mother's anxiety meds, and when he felt numb and drowsy enough, he slit his wrist and bled to death.
That's what he thought had happened. So why was he still alive?.
