"How was school, baby?" Charlie asked Y/N as he drove home.

"Good..." she responded in a quiet voice.

"What did you do today?"

"Well, the same as always; we wrote some things and we learned them." she said with a quiet voice again.

"You've been quiet lately... Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm just... tired..."

"You always come home tired from school... Darling, if something happens to you, you can tell me, and I'm being serious..." Y/N could really hear the concern in his voice "...Is someone bothering you? A boy? A girl?... Maybe a teacher?"

"No... I just come tired because I don't sleep well at night..."

"Are you having nightmares again? Do you want to sleep with me?"

"No! I mean, yes, I do have nightmares, but I don't need nor want to sleep with you..." she said with a somewhat annoyed tone "I'm fine."

"If you're having nightmares, then you're not fine." Charlie replied "You're worrying me Y/N, and I don't like it at all..."

"Eat slower, baby..." Charlie said when he saw that his daughter was eating too quickly "...You're gonna choke..."

"Sorry." she said, slowing down to eat, although she finished her dish a few minutes later "I want more, please."

"More? It's the third dish you've finished..." he said, he was starting to get suspicious... "I'm sorry Y/N, but you've been eating a lot lately, and I don't want you to end up with a tummy ache or something. Now come here, let me clean your face."

The girl approached her father and he began to wipe her face with a napkin... but...

"Y/N, what happened to you here?" her father asked, he was horrified...

"H-Huh? Where?" she asked, scared.

"Here, under your lip, you have a scar."

"I-I bit my lip a lot..." Y/N answered nervously.

"You're lying to me..."

(DON'T GO LYIN' TO ME, DON'T GO LYIN', DON'T GO LYIN'- sorry...)

"W-What do you mean?! I'm not lying! I'm just... I..."

"You're definitely lying..." Charlie sighed, it was a mix of disappointment, anger, and worry, all in one breath "Sit down, we're gonna have a talk..."

"But-"

"Y/N Marie Green, sit down!" he demanded, his tone more authoritative.

The little girl swallowed and sat where her father told her, her hands were shaking and tears were ready to come out of her eyes...

"Lately you've been worrying me; you come home 'tired' from school, you're hungrier than usual, you avoid me, and now I find a scar under your lip... What is going on with you?!" Charlie sighed again "...And you know what worries and disappoints me the most at the same time? That you lie to my face... Why?! Why do you lie to me?!"

"Because I knew that if I told you, you would be mad at me like you are now!" answered the girl, who was already crying.

"I'm not angry Y/N, I'm disappointed! Why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you, I'll tell you... Please, I-I'm sorry..." the girl's crying got worse "There's a boy at school who's bothering me... His name is Toby and he's in 4th grade..."
