Fredrick's POV
I was laying on my new couch and just listening to music. I'm soo proud of myself. Not for the music, for the couch. It's really comfortable and clean. I don't know why anyone would take it back.

I heard a knock on the door. I sat up and turned around. My papa opened the door holding Essie's hand. "Hey- oh my. I didn't think you would clean the whole shed. Where did that couch come from?" He asked. Oh shit. "Um Jackson's ex girlfriend asked me if I wanted it so I said yes" I said. My papa eyed me suspiciously but shook his head slightly.

I sat there for a few seconds in silence. My papa looked like he was thinking. He then randomly shook his head and said "Anyways. Essie wanted to know if she can hang out with you" "oh sure. I'm gonna need help with moving some things" I said. My papa looked at me with an angry look. Shit. "Don't let her get hurt" was all he said and walked off.

Fuck.

Essie smiled and closed the door. She ran over to the couch and jumped on it. "Did you finish cleaning without me?" She asked confused. I shook my head no and said "actually when I came in this morning it was completely clean." I said. She looked really confused. "I know. Weird right?" I asked with a chuckle. She nodded vigorously

We sat down for a few minutes then Essie jumped up. She looked at me with a smile. "What?" I asked. She smiled and asked excitedly "am I actually gonna help you move stuff in here?" "Oh yea. I forgot about that. Let's go" I said standing up. I stretched and grabbed Essie's hand. "Come along" I said said as if I was a Victorian person or something.

We both walked into the house. I brought Essie up to my room. "Ok. Do you think you can pick up my small heater?" I asked. "YEA!!!" She said happily. She picked the heater up like it was nothing. I mean it is very light but I was scared it would hurt her.

I grabbed my blankets and pillows. I walked by the door opened it the best I could do Essie could walk through. We walked down the hallway and into the living room. My mom and dad were on the couch, watching a movie together. "Hey don't let Essie carry that heavy stuff. She's gonna get hurt again" my mom said putting emphasis on again. Bitch. "Ok. Essie hold these. I'll get that" I said sweetly. She nodded and we traded what we had.

After we traded out stuff we brought it to the shed. Essie put the pillows and blankets on the couch. I found an outlet to plug in the heater. Thankfully it actually worked. When I stood back up Essie was laying down on the couch with all my blankets. Aww. "Comfortable?" I asked. She nodded happily.

I'll get my other stuff later.

Time skip~

After sitting in the shed for a few hours my papa came get Essie. He said it was time for her to go to sleep. It's not but I didn't say anything. "Hey papa. I'm gonna stay in the shed tonight. Just to see if I like it" I said. My papa ignored me and closed the door. Why the hell do they act like this? It's fucking disrespectful. To me at least.

I decided to get up and go get my box. It's the stuff I kept from 12 years ago. It's very important to me. I walked into the house and went to my room. I grabbed the box and exited the house quickly. I didn't feel like talking to anyone.

I walked back outside and it was dark. Obviously. I mean it was night time. I didn't care. I walked to the shed and opened the door. But I was met with the strangest site.

Ok either I'm going crazy or there's actually a portal in front of me. WHAT THE HELL?!?! I stepped back slightly. "Fredrick!" I heard someone cal from it. I dropped the box immediately. That's him. The one that only I remember. "Fredrick. It's Nor..." he said very faintly. I couldn't make out what he was saying.

He can be good... Right?Where stories live. Discover now
