I am now in the 5th grade and have gotten to grow into myself a little more but I am still finding it hard to pay attention to what people are saying. Kane has been helping me for three years now.
It is actually becoming a bad thing. I feel like I am becoming dependent on her. I need to be more independent so that maybe I could help her in a way.
Not too long ago I saw that boxing classes were open and so I thought that if I was stronger, I could defend Kane. So I signed up and am going to the first class right now.
In less than five minutes I was out of the car and facing the tall black and red doors. The air in the room was so scary and intimidating. I walked in anyway because my mom had already left me here, I had no other choice.
Throughout the class I was unexpectedly feeling safe and as if I fit in. I forgot to say, I have intense social anxiety that gets to me often. It usually gets in the way of everything I do.
Anyway, back to the class. The trainer said that I had the strongest uppercut among others. I felt like crying, for once someone had said something good about me. (That moment stuck with me forever).
I know that life was giving me some sort of sign because not long after I trained in the class people started talking behind Kane's back. It continued for so long. As it turns out, it wasn't just time that was changing, she was too.

I don't know where all of these nasty things were coming from but even though I wouldn't have let it get to me; it started getting to me. I don't understand why people would think that I am being abused.
My parents aren't the best, they are actually the opposite of that. They do abuse me. I don't want Gabby to find out because if she does, she will start ignoring herself like she used to. Lying to her is the last thing that I want to do but; her going back to that state of mind is the worst thing that could ever happen. She won't find out.
(Back to Gabby P.O.V)
Gabby - Hey Sugar, you have looked sad for a while now, you good?
Kane - I'm totally fine, just been tired because the cold doesn't let me sleep.
Gabby - Oh I'm sorry, I guess I just overlooked things.
Kane - hehe yeah.
