Janette nodded. She felt a little bit guilty for the fact that she rarely ever thought about them. But then, when had they ever thought about her?
This seemed a good opportunity to ask about him. "And you? What about your parents?" She asked.
( XD )
"Well, my original mother was rather irresponsible. She was 19, very young, and had me after she left her husband to go along her own path. She never went to collage, so she didn't have enough money for two people. Instead of putting me up for adoption or trying to work harder, she just kept me but didn't care for me all she could. Once I was old enough to walk and talk she completely ignored me, and thought of me like I was just an infestation, so I left. Lived on the streets for a while, and then a couple took me in." Thomas paused to quickly think about the rest of his past, to make sure he remembered it all. Then continued.
"They were very kind, and as I grew up they said I had a brilliant mind. I was given the best education, and I was very grateful for it. But whenever I was older, almost ready to move out of the house, I told them about my wishes and predictions. The world would end, I wanted to save the human race the best I could...And it did involve experimentation. At first they just thought it was animals, but when I said I wanted live people they worried about my mental state. So, after a long while of discussing this they finally thought I was completely insane and tried to put me in a mental hospital. I was scared, and I didn't want to waste my life being looked at like a mad man, so I tried to convince them to forget about it. They wouldn't, and when my mother picked up the telephone I killed her. I didn't want any witnesses, so I had to kill my father as well...
I managed to make it look like somebody else came in and killed them. I was always great at using logic and solving things, so I knew how to make the whole situation have no chance of pointing to me. I was put up for adoption, but I was 17 and so less than a year later I was able to leave and move on with my life. I still regret killing them, they were very kind, but I wanted to do more than sit in an asylum. I wanted to live, and they threatened to take that from me because of an idea, and because of the way my mind worked. My original mother didn't care, and my adopted parents didn't want me."
Thomas sighed, seeming rather angry about his past, but didn't seem sad about it. He had never told anyone he actually killed his parents, he just said they were dead, but he thought it best not to lie if he trusted Janette to be his assistant.
