Chapter 1

Ellard POV

It has been 2 weeks since I cut all my hair off. I was tired of being called Ella and wanted to make my statement clear. I had always known I was transgender, ever since I was little I hated dresses and how long my hair was. Of course, my dad was open to it, he even started calling me Ellard. But after he passed away that all changed. My stepmother immediately burned all my masculine clothes and forced me into tight dresses. But now that I've turned 15, I can finally stand up for myself. So good by Ella, hello Ellard!

Third Person POV

Ellard happily skipped down the hallway completing his chores, one by one. His morning was great, with the help of his mice, he was able to happily skip around with his shorts and shirt. For once in many years, he felt comfortable in his own skin. That was until he heard his stepmother's voice, sending shivers down his spine. "What do you think you are wearing young lady?!" his stepmother said, clearly angry. "Young man, actually" he said turning around. She gasped at the sight of his hair. "What is the meaning of this?! Is this some kind of joke," She said gripping her cane so hard her knuckles were white. Before he even had the chance to testify she grabbed him by his arm and threw him in the attic. "I want this clean by TONIGHT!" she said, threateningly. "But-" he began. "TONIGHT." she said sternly, "and no more of this dress-up. As she walked away he couldn't stop the tears from forming in the corners of his eyes. He quickly wiped his nose with his hand and stood up. He looked around at the messy attic, it looked like it had been abandoned for years-- which it had. There were spiderwebs and cobwebs everywhere he looked. The floor looked like it would collapse at any second, and there was moss forming in the corners of the room. He sighed as he grabbed his broom and started knocking down cobwebs.
