Rememberance

*Next Morning - Zaraya's POV*

When I woke up in the morning, the sunrise was the first thing I saw. And it wasn't what I WANTED to see.

I wanted to see Tucker.

*Earlier that Night*

"Hi, I'm Romani Levy. You?"

"Tucker Boner. Zaraya's neighbor."

"Oh yes. I've heard about you." He shoots me a look before I smile. "Come in." I look at her, then him. Shit. Zaraya isn't going to do this. Not tonight. Not now. "So, I've heard a lot about you."

He frowns for a second before I murmur, "Don't do this, Romani."

"What did you say, Zara?"

"I said don't do this!"

"Do what? This guy has been a dick to you and all you're doing is defending him! It's shit, Zaraya. SHIT."

"ROMANI!"

"WHAT, ZARAYA? I'VE HEARD ALL ABOUT HIM. Stop defending him."

"I'm not defending him!" I whimper, feeling myself curl into a little ball. I've never liked fighting.\

When I was little, my parents fought a lot. I was usually playing in my room, playing house with my Barbies, or having a tea party with my stuffed bear, Porridge. It was at that time, I remember hearing the screaming and yelling of my parents downstairs.

"Frank, you can't...leave...daughter..."

"Yes...not mine..."

I usually didn't hear most of it. I usually tried to block it out, but this happened for what seemed like years.

"Stop. Defending. Him." Romani said, standing up. At that moment, I stood up and walked out of the room, up the stairs. "Where the hell are you going?"

"Away." I murmured, walking into my room and climbing out of the window and onto the roof.

The fighting wasn't as bad as it was. Now, there's an occasional fight, but that was just probably because they haven't gotten laid in forever.

I laid on the roof, staring up at the now present stars. Maryland was bright, but it didn't block the stars, a lot of them still in sight.

"Look, there's the big dipper. And there's the little one, too." I whisper to myself, sighing.

I'm alone again.
