TW: mentions of self-harm/abuse

-Earlier Again-

This whole thing was hard to process. I just met this guy and we're already doing something as crazy as this?

If I'm being honest, I never put much thought into what happens in Seven's life, and i'm kinda upset about it.

Turns out all of this shit is true, who would that make me.

It's already selfish enough how I'm still thinking about myself and my own reputation in such a dire circumstance such as this one, yet I can't really help myself, and I don't think anyone else would be able to. Unless you're trying to keep a good reputation.

I've known seven ever since we were barley in kindergarten. He's my best friend and yet I've never put much thought into his actual life at home.
What kind of a friend even am I if i can't even do as much as a stranger can to help him.

The pieces just didn't fit for me. I was skeptical about this, and also If seven was getting horrible things done to him, wouldn't he have told me by now?

I felt upset with myself and also felt like it wasn't my place to get involved in something like this, which I didn't understand, and it pissed me off even more.

Hopefully after this is all said and done and nothing is wrong, I can relive my worries.

That is if none of this crazy shit is true that is, but I'm not really sure what to expect.

I already agreed to put this plan into action, but why.

I felt so bunched up into a big ball of emotions. Everything was happening to fast and it isn't slowing down, and I don't think it will.

If anything, it's probably just gonna keep getting faster.

I told Mono to call me once he was inside with Seven and to keep me informed, and that I do the same.

To be honest, what does he think i'm gonna find in here.

Any abusive parent would have some sense of being able to cover up they're wrong doings. No different than a murderer or anyone who's committed some kind of crime, unless you're shitty at it.

His mom must have some knowledge of knowing how to mask over and hide the truth, because apparently I was gullible enough to fall for it, if any of it is true.

If Mono wasn't here, I probably would have just openly asked seven about his mom, but even so he probably wouldn't tell me. Which makes me even more upset. Who know what else he's been keeping from me. I'm not saying that he doesn't trust me and shame on him for doing so, I'm not. I wouldn't trust me either if I was in his situation. Maybe it's vice versa. He trusts me too much. He doesn't want to let that go.

I focused on what was more important, getting inside.

I got a text from Mono telling me that Seven had left the front door unlocked, and that his mom isn't home either.

I mentally celebrated as I kept quiet sneaking back to the front door.

I let myself in and when I walked in I was immediately hit with a familiar, yet slightly unpleasant odor.

Cigarette smoke.

The smell I was used to, and it was an addictive smell nonetheless. However whenever I think of cigarettes the thoughts of what's in it is unpleasant for me. Thinking of things like Arsenic and Carbon Monoxide filled my head, and my nose. The smoke enough contained such dreadful chemicals.
