November 2014 (tw homophobia)-

Willow and Aurora attended a small preparatory school near where they lived. Everyone that attended was very religious apart from the two girls. They'd never really be brought up to believe in the bible because their parents were never brought up that way. Well, Eddie was but he soon fell out of religion when he was 12, after he'd discovered he was attracted to boys. He'd felt like he wasn't worthy in the eyes of God and so therefore he'd stopped attending Sunday school.

Richie and Eddie had decided to send Willow and Aurora to the school they attend due to the students getting amazing grades and if either of them were like Richie, they'd be a straight A student.

But children were mean and Willow and Aurora were bullied. Because of their dads, because they aren't religious and just because they're different from the other kids. Willow also hates the uniform and Aurora loathes it. There's only a small group of children who are nice at the school but Willow and Aurora don't really talk to them.

"Oh look it's Willy!" A boy named Austin says, laughing at his own stupid joke. Willow rolls her eyes and tries to eat her lunch in peace. She doesn't know where her sister is and she's hoping she's okay.

"Willy with the freakozoid dads!" Lyla says. Willow rolls her eyes once more." You know it's wrong to be gay, right? Your parents are committing a sin!"

"His acting isn't even that good. I don't even know why he tries." Austin laughs and Willow glares at them.

"He didn't have professional training and for someone without professional training, he's doing amazingly and I'm proud to cal him my dad." Willow says, shoving her lunchbox back into her backpack and standing up, putting the backpack on her shoulder." I don't know what your problem is with people just trying to live their lives, but if you don't mind, I'm going to find my sister."

"Wouldn't bother. I know exactly where she is." Lyla says and Willow raises an eyebrow suspiciously." One of the lockers would suffice."

"She's claustrophobic!" Willow groans, rushing inside, trying to find her sister, banging on each locker." RORY! RORY! HELLO? RORY! AURORA!"

"Will!" Comes a sob and Willow finds the correct locker and opens it up, her younger sister falling into her arms. Willow holds onto her as she cries." I want dad and papa!"

"It's okay. I've got you." Willow reassures her, holding onto her and getting her to control her breathing.

Then, it's time to head to class. Willow sits in math, head resting against her palm, severely uninterested. She feels someone throw something and it hits her on the back. She grabs it and opens it up.

Daughter of homos! Go rot in hell

Willow just scrunches it back up and puts it in her blazer pocket. She'll show that to her parents later on. Willow wishes she attended the same school as James Denbrough , Blue Uris and Lily Hanscom. Her friends. Her best friends. They all attend a school an hour away. They don't have to wear a uniform and they seem happy. Willow wants to be happy.

The bell rings and relief washes over the nine year old. She puts on her backpack and rushes out of the classroom, finding her sister in the hallway and grabbing her arm. The two practically run onto the field and over to Eddie, who greets them with a smile. Children and parents glare at the three as they head to their car. Eddie gets in the drivers seat, Willow in the passengers seat and Aurora in the back, the two sitting quietly.

"Good day?" Eddie asks and he drives. The girls just remain silent. Eddie glances at them both." Girls, I'm talking to you. Did you have a good day?"
