Giving Up Is Losing

Chapter 1. Giving Up

Liv finds themselves in the bathroom agian clutching the knife yet this was just another day for them, suddenly their dad knocks on the door "honey are you there?" yes dad I'm here trying to relive the pain you cause they thought to themselves but as they went to respond their dad opened the door,  "its not what it looks like dad I promise" Liv said panicking "then what is it then?"  Replied thier drunken dad "you know this is why your mother left they couldn't stand to have a worthless disgrace like you in the house, if you wanna hurt yourself so bad then grab the gun out of my glove box and shoot yourself in the head" their dad then slammed the door shut. Liv sat in disbelief, they knew their dad wasnt the best but they didn't know he was this bad, they put down the knife and started to clutch their feet to their head sobbing but trying to stay quiet.
"Why" they thought to themselves "why me I try so hard so fucking hard why did my life have to be this way just why, why couldn't I had been born the son he wanted, why couldn't mom just stay I hate it all so much", They then get up and leave the bathroom to go lay down.

Hours later nearing the time they would sleep their little brother walks in "Hey sis whats wrong?" their brother said "Nothing" Liv said frustrated "aw please tell me sis?" Their brother said "NO NOW GO AWAY" Liv shouted back, their brother went silent and just put down a piece of paper walking away. Liv gets off her bed and opens the paper to find its a flyer. The flyer was for the fall festival down town, they thought to themselves "he probably just wanted me to take him since dad won't". They sigh and go to the door as they hold the handle they think to themselves "I shouldn't get so mad at him just because I'm not out to him yet and especially not because of dad from ealier." They smack themselves across the cheek leaving a slight mark and walk out the door to their little brother. "Hey I'm sorry did you wanna go to the festival together?" "Yes" their brother said running around in joy "ok well don't worry ill take you tomorrow when the festival starts ok?" Liv says with a smile, "ok" her brother replied skipping off wildly, Liv chuckles to theirself and goes back to their room closing the door. They think "well I guess I could steal money from dad since I can't live like this anymore, yeah I'm gonna treat my brother to the best night of his life before my pathetic life comes to an end". They start to shed tiny tears as they walk to their bed, when they lay down they wipe the tears from their face and cuddle up with thier pillow clutching it like their life was in Peril.
