Trigger warnings: S.H., abvse, bad parenting, ach0holics, bullying
Y/N got a letter from their family. It read 'Dear, y/n, we miss you and we're so sorry. Please come down for Christmas, so we can be a full family again. Me and your dad never meant to do what we did. You should have been a better and good kid. And we want to hear your apology. I'm sorry that you thought our tough love was abuse. And I'm sorry that you cut yourself because you wanted attention and that you said you were going to k!ll yourself because you didn't get attention from everyone. From whole family'.
They cry and cry and cry, until they hear Ethan. "Y/N!" He calls as he walks into their room. Ethan look down to where they sat and sat next to Y/N. He sees the tears in Y/N's eyes. "Do you want me to go get Chad and Mindy?" They break down more as they hear their siblings names. "What's wrong?" Ethan asked her as he wants to understand what happened. "I got a letter from my family and they basically called me an attention seeker because of things that happened. Do you think I should go to the Christmas get together?"
"If you want, you can bring me with you to keep you protected." Ethan says trying to make them feel better. "Really. I want you to know that they aren't nice or my real parents."
(At the Christmas get together)
"Heyyy, Y/N. Miss me? Your older, stronger cousin." Their cousin, CJ, says. "Who's this handsome young man!" Her other cousin, Lana, says as she gets up to Ethan's ear, she whispers "You know I'm a real woman and I know how to fuck good." Ethan's face turns into a disgusted expression. "No thanks" Ethan says. "Why'd you bring this boy?" CJ asks. "He's my boyfriend. Why should you even care, CJ?" Y/N says as she turns to Ethan. "Amor, can you go get me some snacks from the store please?" She puts he arms around his shoulders. "Of course I can, baby" He gets happy at the name they called him.
Y/N POV
"Bye, amor" I say as Ethan waves back. After he leaves, I walk back to my old room. "I can see that you are still an attention seeker." My step mom says. Someone screams, it sounds like Ethan. "Move out of the fucking way!" I scream as I search around the house for him. I run into Lana's room and she was on top of his lap, trying to kiss him. "Ethan! What the fuck, Lana?! He's my fucking boyfriend. He doesn't want to sleep with a slut like you! I couldn't even bring any boy I knew over here with you trying to sleep with them! Him and I are going to stay one night and then we're going to leave, okay?" My aunt, Jenna, nodded. "Come on, Ethan. Lo siento, amor." I apologize to Ethan. "It's okay. I kinda don't want to stay the night but I will." His voice soft and sweet. "Me either. So we'll leave after we eat?" "Yeah also I'm not hungry." Ethan says kinda shocking me. I nod my head.
(At dinner)
"Don't you that's too much for you" My dad looks at me. "Yeah. You don't want to get fat or you won't keep a man." CJ adds on. "Don't talk to them like that" Ethan says, "that's not how you talk to someone younger than you." He adds on. "Just who do think you're talking to, huh?" CJ looks at Ethan. "He was talking to the fuck-wads named Brian and CJ." I say as Ethan gets up to leave. "Y'all fuck everything good for me up!"
"No! You're just an attention seeking whore who thinks the world revolves around them!" Lana yells. "You're one to talk, You tried forcing yourself on to my boyfriend!" I scream back. "Stop lying! All you do is lie! You lied on CJ about making you do sexual things you don't want to do." "He did! He and you two were never there! Y'all never listened to me! I'm fucking leave, I don't have to deal with this and I'm not fat or attention seeker." I yell at them. "Go kill yourself, slut!" CJ says as he flicked me off.
Me and Ethan leave and it was a slow drive. "Y/N, I'm sorry that's your family. I know that you would never lie on anyone. And you're none of the things they said you are. And if you killed yourself, I'd cry until I couldn't cry anymore. I love you so much more than you can imagine and if I lose you, I don't know what I'd do. Every word you say is a beautiful melody. Everytime you speak Spanish, it's a soothing sound. When you talk about yourself I love. I love how you're not afraid to speak up. I love everything about you, Y/N, and you should too. Even your scars because your scars mean you survived. And I love that you decided to get the semicolon tattoo." (A/n: ; is a semicolon) "I couldn't survive without you Ethan" and from then on Ethan was your passenger princess.
Never let the past determine the future. The future is your path to decide.
Your family can call you evil, a slut, can tell you go kill yourself but don't listen because there's only one of you and no one's like you. Everytime someone says that "you're replaceable", "you'll never make", "that everyone hates you'", they are just jealous of you and your ability to change.
