Chapter 15 ~ Forget

     Dan and I went to nap in his room. I was far enough into sleep to dream, but not sleep sleep. I started dreaming. It started off with my dad. My real one, that is. He was was at his desk. His eyes were red. Drunk. His first time, definitely. At least, in front of me. "Where is mummy..?", a child version of me spoke. Dad looked at me. Anger. I didn't like this. Then I realized. It wasn't dad. It was him. My step dad. "Go to your room, (y/n). Now." "But-" "Now." He slapped me. I felt the burn. His hand was huge compared to my tiny face. Tears were building in my eyes. I ran into my room and locked the door. I started crying. After that I never saw mum. Ever. Dad never came back either. Making him my 'dad'. I hated him. Then every memory cane crashing in. Every hit, slit on my wrist. Everything.

I woke up crying, waking Dan up as well. "What's wrong, love?", he wiped my tears. I couldn't manage words at this point. I just continued crying, grabbing my wrist to try and stop the horrible pain. He got the hint and hugged me. "It's okay. I'll make sure that never happens again. Remember? Promise?" I cried into his shoulder. He rubbed my back, trying to calm me down. My breathing got under control, my tears stopped, and the pain stopped as well. Dan continued to rub my back. "It was just a dream.. never again. I'll never let him hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you. You don't deserve that." "Yes I do. I'm the reason dad left. I'm the reason mum killed her self. Why we had to move. It was all me.."

Dan backed up so he could look at me, "No. Humans do stupid things all the time." "They didn't even want me, Dan! I was a mistake! I'm not meant to be here! I should've killed myself when I had the chance!" Dan grabbed my arms lightly. "(Y/n)! Do you hear yourself right now? I'm not your mum or your dad. I'm Dan. And I love you. Calm down please.. I won't hurt you. Promise." I felt tears again. He kissed me softly. "I'll go get ice cream and we can watch Netflix or something, yeah?", he looks at me. I nod slightly. A warm smile comes back from him and he leaves. I sigh and grab my phone.

Unknown: Get your ass back home, (y/n) I swear to god.

Me: Sorry, who is this?

Unknown: Your dad. Home. Now.

Me: No. you wanted me out. I'm grown.

Unknown: When I find you, you're going to regret being alive. Who is even taking care of you? Not like you have friends or money so

Me: Why should you care?

     He didn't respond so I put my phone back. Letting it ring when he called. I shut my phone down so the calls would fail. Dan walked in with two bowls on ice cream. I smile at him as he closes the door with his foot. He hands me my bowl and sits next to me. "What do you wanna watch?" I shrug. Dans face lights up, "I have an idea!"
