| You smile as you jumped out of your bed and quickly opened your bedroom door, you ran as fast as your little legs could take you. |

|"Mom, Dad, you won't believe what I found!"|

| You showed them your anomaly book, which shows a 3-headed siren (more of an evil mermaid) mermaid you had found who had very long claws. |

| "Isn't that so cool?" | you squealed in excitement. | "Get that stupid crap out of here Y/N! We don't have time for your pathetic, fake books!" | Your dad screamed at you. | They're not fake dad! They are real, I know it!" |

| Your father grabbed the book and threw it in the trash. |

     | You stood there trying to hold in tears. |

| "You see what nonsense that book is filling your head with Y/N? Your gonna become crazy like that pines family down the road! Your gonna become a pathological liar like that pines woman!" |

| You we're very angry, you felt like weights were clinging to the bottom of your lower eyelids, you tried your best to hold them in. |

| "Sorry father, I just find those books interesting." | I think it's very rude to call that woman a liar father, she wouldn't say that about you." | She wouldn't put you down in the dirt like that, you're crazy father! All you care about is money!" | Not even me or mom, I hate you!" |

     | Your dad grabbed you by your hair. |

| "Don't you dare talk back to me like that!" |

           | He dropped you carelessly. |

| He slapped you hard with the back of his hand on your cheek. |

| You tried your best not to cry, it felt as 100 bees were stinging your cheek. |

     | Your Mother dragged him from you. |

| "Micheal that is enough, don't you know? She can report us!?" |

| Your dad scoffed | "Like she would, she's like a small tree branch, she can't fight back without getting taken down by a small gust of wind!" |

| You wanted to kick him so hard that he flew through the wall, but you weren't allowed to use your tae-kwon-doe skills on your parents, it could only be used for self defense. |

| You ran upstairs | you wanted to run away into the sunset, but you sat there in your bare room, just dreaming. |

                           | 11:30 pm. |

| You ran downstairs and ran into the kitchen quiet as possible.|

| You dug in the trash, trying not to make any noise that might cause attention towards yourself. |

| You touched it. | "My book!" | You whispered to yourself. |

| You quietly ran upstairs to your room, and closed the door quietly. |

| You started reading your book for who knows  how long. |

| You woke up with your book on your chest. |

| You quickly hid it as you heard footsteps coming towards your room. |

| Your mom opened the door with tears in her eyes. |

| "Honey, I don't know how to say this but.." |

| "We're going to Las Vegas, and we can't let you come with." |

       | You felt tears form in your eyes. |

       | Are they just abandoning me..? |

| "What?" | "I know honey I'm sorry, we're already packed and your dads already in the car waiting for me." |

         | "Will you come back for me.?" |

| "I promise." | Her words hit you like an arrow in the heart. |

| " I'm so sorry honey, I love you so much." |

|" I love you to mom, but where do I go.?" |

       | "Stay here okay?" | You nodded. |

| She gave you one last hug, then she just left. |

| You sat there, trying your best not to cry. |

          | "I promise. " | "I promise. " |

| Her words kept replaying in your head like a never ending song. |

               | You sighed to yourself. |

       | "Get use to it Y/N, get use to it." |

| You rubbed your red, sore cheek where your father had struck you. |

| you frowned before you fell asleep. |
