Zander was 4 years old now.
He sat on the stair case, tears in his eyes as he listened. He didn't talk much anymore, only if he felt he absolutely needed too. So far, he hadn't spoken in over a week.
"Shannon! I am done with this shit!"
"You are!? Think about ME! I come home from work, every, fucking night, to find out you've been hitting and yelling at my son! I've had to teach that poor boy how to COOK at four years old! FOUR!"
"Good! Maybe then he won't bother us!"
"He has never been a bother! You're the one making a big deal out of nothing! He is a child!"
Zander weeped quietly.
Rubbing his eyes with his fists.
"YOU KNOW WHAT SHANNON!? THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS FOR HIM TO BE PUT UP FOR ADOPTION!"
Zanders Head Shot up.
"SO YOU KNOW WHAT!? CHOOSE! EITHER, YOU PUT HIM UP FOR ADOPTION, OR YOU LOOSE ME ENTIRELY!"
He turned around and walked out, slamming the door.
Shannon Fell to her knees.
Zander came out of hiding, shaking as he walked over and tapped his mother.
When she spared him a glance.
He froze.
It was a dark look he had never seen from her before.
She stood up, grabbed her purse and her phone before running up stairs.
When she came back, she had a backpack and one suitcase.
She shoved bunny into Zanders hands before grabbing his hand and dragging him out to the car.
In silence she got Zander into his booster seat and slammed the door, walking to the front before speeding off.
They had drove for hours, Shannon hadn't uttered a single word aside from yelling cusses at other drivers, and screaming about how she hated her husband.
Zander sat, bunny cradled in his arms.
He was afraid of his mother, for the first time.

People think that Shannon's putting him up for adoption, she's not, she's taking Zander and leaving his dad
