The view from the roof of your house never ceased to amaze you. With the music playing through your headphones blocking out ambient sound, and the frosty touch of the midnight air, it made the perfect place to think. Or to simply escape from the hellhole that was your family dynamic.Though almost nothing could penetrate the barrier of your head phones, somehow the commotion of broken plates, broken hearts, and too much screaming for this time of night pierced into your skull.
Just one normal family dinner, that's all I ask you thought as you let out a tired sigh. You would try to intervene and stop things from getting more violent, but still-visible bruises and scratches on your arms would prove that it would be futile.
You lift your gaze to the stars, beginning to get lost in their wonder. An infinite field of light among a background of darkness. The moon had its usual scowl, looking down on everything below. As strange as it may sound, it reminded you of your father. The constant disappointment in his eyes always made an impression on your mind. Whenever he was feeling gracious enough to look you in the eyes, that is.
Another night of sleeping on the roof. Wonderful. Just wonderful. At least there aren't stray cats this time. "Looking on the bright side", a rare phenomenon for you. Peeling off your coat to use as a makeshift blanket, you lie down on the shingles of this sad roof. Even with the rough surface scraping against your skin through your clothes, you manage to get dreary. Your eyes flutter and your mind goes blank. Silently, you fade into unconsciousness, with soft music fueling your sleep.
