You are not in this alone

It was 6:00 in the afternoon, I was on my room listening to Dr. Death Defying show in low volume, my little brother Axel and my mom knew that I listen to him, but my dad doesn’t, he is very hard and strict on the law and the BLI rules, he work for them, like in an office or something, but I know that if he find me listening or supporting the Killjoys movement, I’ll be in serious troubles, he’s against my dyed hair and my colorful clothes, but every time we argue about that, he takes a “happiness” pill and he let go all the discussion and he just “smile” at me, I hate when he turn himself into a BLI zombie, but sometimes I’m glad he does that, so I haven’t to deal with him anymore.
This night I’ll be running away, away from my house, away from the BL/Ind., away from everything, this night, was the night when my life begins, I am just waiting for the exact hour, when the rest of the world has gone to sleep, and I’ll break out of my house and never coming back again, I am so excited, about everything, I’ve been packing all my stuff in a little backpack, I packed just the necessary, some colored clothes, food and all the money that I had, I don’t know what is waiting for me out there, I’ve been blind about the world around me and I can’t wait to take off the bandage that BLI and my family put on my eyes.
I came out of my room to have dinner, my family was sitting on the dining table and I join them, nobody was talking, so I listened to the TV. -“This morning, the rebels in the Zone 19 have been exterminated by a patrol of Draculoids. The gang has been exterminated and we were informated that they have been planning an attack on the Main Town; we’ll keep you informed as more information on the subject is obtained. In other news, yesterday, our President Korse inaugurated a new city in the Zone 15, which was cleaned a few months ago”- Another group of rebels exterminated, I can’t believe it, It’s the third group in a month! Things were really rough outside.
-Zone 19! Dad! That’s just 6 Zones away!- my brother said
- I know, but they are dead right now, they can’t hurt you, Korse is doing a hard effort keeping us safe- my dad said with a “smile” in his lips. What a big load of bullshit! -I’m glad that Korse worries about us, those teenage rebels are getting more dangerous – Axel replied.
–I don’t know what are they trying to do, I mean, they have no chance against BLI, they are just grown up children with stupid ideas and ,for sure, lots of drugs on them, they aren’t strong enough-.
And I hated to admit it, but he was right, there were little resistance groups, all exterminated, most of them, were just teenagers rising up their voices in the streets, none of them accomplished nothing, they tried but it wasn’t enough, they didn’t need small uprisings, they needed a big hit.

I stare at my dad while he was talking, I can’t support living in a family with those ideals, I just can’t. But in a few hours I’ll be away from everything, and that's what keeps me strong.
-Thank you mom, I finished.- I said while I was getting up
-Honey, you haven't eaten a bite!- she said.
-I’m not hungry- I cut off the conversation and I walked away.
A few minutes ago, Axel showed up in my room.
-Hey, may I come in?- He asked
-sure- I said.
-Why you were so mad about the rebel stuff?, I could notice how you were looking at Dad- He nervously asked.
-Well I believe in the rebels and in their ideals, BLI is taking the control over all the things around us, I don’t want to be a BLI zombie, like mom and dad- I said with a sad tone in my voice.
-Me neither!, but I just don’t understand the grownups and their obsession with the BL pills- He said while he frowned.
-If you didn’t want to became a zombie, just don’t take the pills.-
-Pills aren’t good, right?- he asked
-No, they aren’t , they only make you believe all the BLI lies-
-Lies?, I just don’t understand, nothing-
-Yes, lies, BL/Ind. Is lying everyone about the world we live in, the world isn’t perfect, but the pills make you thought it is, the world is loud and violent, and Better Living is just making money of all of us, selling us a fake reality, but I don’t buy it. I don’t hope you understand all that I’m saying, you are just 8- I grinned while I messed up his black hair.
-I kinda do, but, tell me, why you don’t wear white and black clothes as everyone?, and why your hair is blue? I can tell that Dad doesn’t like it-
-Well Better Living is all black in white, right? So they see the colors like a resistance, it is a sign of my rebellion- I grinned.
-Oh, I get it- He was still frowning, I can tell that he didn’t understood everything, but at least, he wouldn’t be so blind about everything like the other members of my family. –I have another question- He said. –How can you live in here?, with my dad and mom being BLI zombies- He asked.
-I can’t- I chuckled.
It was 2 on the morning, and everyone in the house was sleeping since 10 pm. So it was my perfect time to run away, I put on my thigh jeans and a black tank top, I took the backpack and I silently walked off of my room, while I was walking down a dark aisle, I turn around the corner and there was my brother, sitting at the kitchen table and then he looked at me with watery eyes.
-Are you running away?- He asked tearfully
-I am- I answered.
-Are you leaving me alone?- His cheeks were covered in tears
-Axel, hey, don’t cry, I’m not leaving you, I’ll come back for you-
-Let me join you, please!- He whimpered.
-I can’t let you come with me, things are really dangerous outside, if a patrol of Draculiods find me, I’ll be dead, when I settle in a safe place, and when I learn how to commute without being traced, I’ll come for you, I swear.- I said this whispering to him while we walked down to his room. –I’d never leave you alone- The look in his eyes changed suddenly, from sad to shocked, he wasn’t looking at me so I looked up and I could feel how my plan was slipping out of my hands.
