Ew an angsty chapter
Trigger Warning! Implied Child Abuse and Implied Suicide
----

Daniel's POV.

Today dad yelled at me again, that was normal. Dad was always upset about one thing or another, yelling that something wasn't done correctly, or dinner wasn't ready when he got home. Dad always got mad when we didn't act the way he wanted us too. I hated when Dad yelled or when he hurt mom. Dad had hurt mom whenever she didn't something he didn't like. I was only a child when that happened. There were times when I had stepped in, trying to protect mom when Dad was upset. I would just get hurt in the end. Mom would always comfort me in the end, but I felt bad too, I never knew how to comfort mom, that's why I felt bad. Mom would wrap my wounds in bandages, mom was always careful when she did. She would get the blood off me and she would make sure I was okay.

Mom used to sing to me too, she was angelic when she sang to me, I still sing that song now. I loved when Mom sang to me. Mom always sang good songs to me. She sang when she was at her lowest point.

Mom used to sleep in my room sometimes, she only did that when Dad was drunk or mad. She used to read stories to me too. I loved when I got to spend time with mom, she was a joy to be around. Mom was the only reason I stuck around. Mom said that I was her star in the sky, mom called me nice things, Dad never called me nice things. Mom smiled when she was at her lowest, no matter what. Mom made me smile too.

Mom was always there for me, she would watch TV with me, read with and to me, she took walks with me. Mom walked me to and from school everyday. Mom helped me when I struggled with school too. Mom helped me with many things.

Now I do all those things myself.
I watch things alone now. I read by myself too.
I spend time alone now.
Mom isn't here now. I want to see mom again.
People tell me she's in a better place now, a place where she is happy and not in pain.
Was Mom in pain and not happy when she was with me?

It was all too fast, one day mom was here, and then she wasn't. Dad left shortly after Mom left too..
Did they not love me? Did they not like me? Had I done something wrong?

My house is quiet and empty now. It used to be full of life, full of energy and happiness. I was never alone when Mom was here.

I've never felt so alone.
