TW: Mentions of suicide.
Sebastians POV:
Me and my sister, Anastasia, were walking down the school hallway. A kid looking maybe 15-16 went up to Anastasia and looked at her threateningly. I went up to Anastasia and moved her over to confront the boy. He immediately ran away and we both laughed at how scared he was. If you don't know already, my sister has heterochromia, a condition where the iris of the eye is a different color eye than the other. We continued with our day smoothly without any interruptions.

(FYI: Sebastian is a trans male and his father hates him for it, but his mother loves him.)

~Time skip~

Me and Anastasia were walking home. I had recently found out my father had been abusing my mother, but couldn't build up the courage to tell anyone. Not even Anastasia. We got home and Anastasia went to her room as per usual while I went to go talk to mom. I went upstairs to her and father's room while he was at work. I knocked on her door and waited for her to answer. About a minute goes by and I'm worried. She would've answered by now.. is what I thought to myself. I opened the door and to my horror, she was laying on the ground dead with a gun in her hand. She killed herself. I shakily stepped into her room and there was a note on her bedside table. I picked it up and read:

"Dear Randal, Sebastian and Anastasia,
I am truly sorry about this, but it had to be done. To my two beautiful children, please stay healthy and live to your free will. You will grow to be amazing people, something I could not achieve. Please fulfill my dream of becoming a story of our family, told about from generation to generation. And to Randal, I hope you become better from what you are doing currently. Please, get the help you need and become a better person. I will see you all whenever you all pass on.
Sincerely,
Naomi."

I was sobbing after I had finished reading the note. I immediately ran to Anastasia and told her the story. She had the same reaction as me, but that's when I had an idea. "Anastasia, we should ditch this dump of a town. I can steal money from father and buy some train tickets to Nockfell. That's where DJ and Ash live." I said. She agreed with the plan and began to pack our belongings. We took our husky, Oreo, and our siamese cat, patches, and left home. I bought two tickets with fathers money and we waited until our subway came. We gave the the tickets to the person who collected them and waited for our stop. Anastasia was asleep by the time our stop arrived and I shook her awake. We got off the train and went to DJ's house. We talked to DJ for a bit then went to unpack our things. Ash was going to be gone for about 2 more hours because he was buying things that we needed.

~3 hours later..~

I was sitting on the couch with Oreo laying on my lap while we were all talking. "Hey, Sebastian, do you think you should enroll Anastasia and yourself into school? I mean, it would be best. I could be the first emergency contact and Ash second." DJ suggested. I thought about it for a second and looked at Anastasia. She gave me a nod of approval and I agreed. As long as I can protect my sister, I'll be perfectly fine. Then, my imaginary light bulb flickered above my head. I immediately jolted up, "I could get a driver's license!!" I exclaimed. Everyone was startled from the sudden outburst, but supported my idea. That was that, I was getting a driver's license tomorrow.

~The Next Day..~

I was walking to the testing place that they do the driver's tests at with DJ. We arrived about five minutes after Rambling about things. I sat down in one of the chairs with DJ beside me. The person behind the counter called me up.
I looked at DJ as he nodded at me and gave me a thumbs up, instantly giving me motivation. I got into the car as I started the car and followed the driving instructors guide. What felt like only five minutes, I was done. I had my license in my hands. I did it. I was so shocked I just.. stood there. Frozen. DJ had to shake me out of my trance. I looked at the drivers license and started to head outside. DJ followed shortly behind. I got home with DJ and sat on the couch. "Hey.. you okay?" He said to me. "Yeah, I'm great! I'm just shocked at how fast it went by.." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. "Ah. I was worried about my Sebz for a moment." I playfully punched him in the arm and we both started laughing. Today was a good day.
