When Leo got a girlfriend, his father found Samuel a girlfriend. The same hair color, the same eye color, the same smile. Samuel did not like her. She was loud and demanding and empty, a shell of a person who only cared about how she looked and what people thought of her. But his father did not care. His father never cared about what Samuel wanted.
When Leo killed that girlfriend, Samuel's father made Samuel kill his.
Samuel remembered standing over her body with the gun in his hand. She had been crying, begging, asking why. Her mascara had run down her cheeks in black rivers. Her voice had cracked on every word.
He did not have an answer. He just pulled the trigger.
That was the first time he had developed real feelings for someone. She had been kind to him, in her own way. She used to be very protective of him.
And he had killed her because his father told him to.
