I started muttering in my sleep. My nightmare making me restless. In my nightmare all I saw were chains and the basement. My father...destroying my soul. Making me want to die. My mother letting it happen. One thing I never understood is that parents are supposed to love their children so...why didn't mine? I started panting in my sleep and I gripped onto Larissa's wrist tight, she woke up to see me in distress and stroked my hair.
"Darling wake up...darling it's just a nightmare." Larissa said softly. I woke up and I pulled Larissa close to me.
"Shh...darling I'm here." Larissa said soothingly as she calmed me down. She stroked my hair.
"It was only a nightmare my love. They won't hurt you ever again." After I calmed down Larissa brought tea into the room and offered me a cup. I sipped it as we sat on the sofa at the end of the bed.
"I'm sorry." I said while placing the cup on a drawer and avoiding eye contact. Larissa pulled my face to face hers and looked into my eyes.
"There's nothing for you to apologise to darling. They were supposed to love and care for you. But they hurt you instead." She said. She started to stroke my cheek with her thumb.
"It's not your fault darling. Not at all. Understood?" I nodded and Larissa pulled me into cuddle her. I felt safe in her arms. And only hers. It's funny how my parents knew me for 20 years and Larissa knew me for less than half a year. And yet she protected me like no one else had.

7am Larissa woke up before me and went to the kitchen and started making breakfast. I woke up to the smell and put her t-shirt on and walked behind her and wrapped my arms around her.
"What's cookin good lookin?" I say jokingly. She turned around to hold me.
"No, you were supposed to stay in bed...I wanted to give you breakfast in bed." She said lovingly before kissing me.
"Oh my love thank you." I kissed her back.
"But I will be okay. Besides. I like eating with you." Larissa turned back to the French toast and continued cooking. I sat at the table and watched her. It was nice having her. It was like she was a wife. My wife. Why was I already thinking about marrying her?

The next day came. Parents day. I wasn't looking forward to this. Larissa stood on the stage in the quad.
"Hello, parents and students of Nevermore Academy. We are happy to have this day for you to connect with your children and talk to their teachers about their progress. If there is additional things that you need, please feel free to come and tell me and I will make it happen." Larissa came off stage and started mingling. As I was watching her I heard a voice behind me.
"Hello Olivia." I turned around in fear.
"Papà...mamà...wh...why are you here?" I asked shakily. My father has this disgusting grin on his face. My mother stood there and just looked at me.
"We're here to take you away from here. You need to come home." Mamà said.
"No...and that place...has never and will never be my home. Because you just used it to abuse me and use me. Just because I didn't turn out the way you want." I stood up to them. My mamà and papà were shocked. I had never stood up to them before.

Larissa's Pov

I saw Olivia talking to her parents and I became worried. When I saw her standing strong against her parents. I was proud. But nothing could prepare me for what was next. Her father grabbed her and dragged her away. I tried to follow them but the crowd was too clustered.

Our Pov

My father dragged me to my dorm.
"Pack your shit before I make you." Papà yelled. I got scared when he raised his voice. It always shook me to my core and made me feel like crying. I shook my head and my dad dug his nails into my arms and yelled,
"I SAID PACK YOUR SHIT!" My mother just stood there, watching. Why did she never stop him? Not just now, but...at home...she looked like she did but...she never did.
"Papà you're hurting me." I cried out as he dug his nails into my arms even more. Larissa knocked on the door but my father wouldn't stop. She tried the door knob but it was locked. She heard me scream and cry, she became angry and kicked the door in and walked up to both my parents. I was on the floor.
"You're supposed to protect her! You're supposed to love her and yet here you are hurting her. Leave the grounds immediately before I have you removed forcefully." My father goes to punch Larissa but before he can I bend the air and pushed him and my mother into the walls.
"Don't touch her." I said angrily. Larissa felt glad I protected her.
"How dare you use your magic on us." My mother yelled.
"You heard her, leave before I make you leave." I got into their faces. They couldn't recognise me anymore. I wasn't so broken as I was when I was with them.

They refused to leave so I grabbed them both by their collars and took them to the gates and threw them out of the magic barrier.
"I hope you both die in hell." I say to them as I walk away back to my dorm. They tried to break through the barrier but the magic stopped them.

I got back to my dorm room and Larissa hugged me tight and let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" She asked as she cupped my cheeks.
"Yeah...still shaky but...I did it Larissa. I...I finally stood up to them and look...I just kicked them out." I was so proud of myself. Larissa was as well. She kissed me.
"Thank you for protecting me when you used your powers against them." Larissa whispered as we hugged.
"Always my love." We stayed in the hug for a few moments.
"Let's go back to my apartment."

We walked through the halls and to Larissa's office and through the door to her apartment. We sat on the sofa.
"I'm going to call Marilyn and ask her to take over for the day so I can be here with you okay?" Larissa said.
"No Larissa, it's okay. Go do your duties." Larissa shook her head.
"You're my number one priority right now. I'm staying." I knew that Larissa wouldn't back down until I submitted. So I did. Larissa comes back after talking to Marilyn.
"Marilyn is handling today. Let's have a bath okay?"

Larissa and I were in the bath. She was behind me and I hand the back of my head on her chest and she traced circles on my stomach. I love her so much. She put me before her duties as a principal. That's amazing how she said I was more important to her.
"This is a nice bath. It's nice to just relax in the nice hot water with you." I said and smiled.
"It is. I love you more than anything darling. So I will be here always. Always and forever." We spend the rest of the day laying and cuddling together. Watching funny movies. Shitty start to the day but a great end of it.
