"mom?"
I whispered creeping down the stairs.
"What?"
"I..I can't sleep."
"So?"
hesitating I walked up to where she was sitting with a cigarette in her hand.
"Sophie's mom reads to her when she can't sleep...."
she turned to me. her cold black eyes killing me softly.
"So?"
"ca...ca...can you read to me?"
"Do I look like Sophie's mother? do l look like a give a flying fuck if you can't sleep or not?"
"I....I'm sorry."
"you should be."
slowly I crept back up the stairs before turning back around and asking her one last question.
"where's daddy?"
"Why do you care? you shouldn't"
she got up from her seat and headed towards me.
"you know why you shouldn't care?"
I looked down and replied in a whisper.
"why?"
"BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU!"
I flinched at her harsh words. I shouldn't have though. I should be used to it by now.
"AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DONT EITHER YOU LITTLE BITCH!"
she grabbed my arm and looked me straight it the eye,
"I wish I killed you when I had the chance."
she let go, but not before she burned a little bit of her cigarette on my skin.
"oops."
I screamed out in pain. I screamed and screamed and screamed. but no one came. I was all alone in that shit hole of a house.
The next day I woke up on the stairs with a burn on my arm. nobody was home. there was no sound except for the faint sound of a crying baby. It stayed like that for a while. 6 years later it was just quiet.

"Jasper breakfast!"
"coming!"
I laid out a plate of pancakes and bacon for him before I got myself food.
"mmmm smells good."
"it should, I made you your favorite because its your first day of school."
"thanks phi."
he smiled before digging in to his food.
"so what are we doing for your birthday buddy? The big six is coming up."
"ummmm can I think about it before I give a final answer?"
I looked at him smiling. he was such a bright boy.
"that would be the smart thing to do."
we continued eating making up random conversation until we were both out the door at his school.
"are you sure you want to go? I can teach you at home, and throw on some educational tv shows every once in a while."
"phneiox I'll be fine. Its no difference than day care at Mrs Carson's house."
