The forgotten child

Thankful

Daniela

Me and Lewis arrive home after a few minute drive. We get our shoes off and I walk to my room. When I open the door I put all the gifts next to my desk and get changed into a pair of sweatpants and a blouse. I lay down on my bed and get my phone out. As I'm scrolling through it I notice something next to my desk. A fucking gramophone?! What the hell is going on? I stand up and go to the living room were I find Lewis.

"Why is there a gramophone in my room?" I ask him

"It's a gift from me. You talked about how your old school had one in the music room and you were very happy talking about it so I figured why not get you one." he says

"Thank you." I say and hug him

"But we need to talk about something." he says

"What?" I ask curious about what he wants to talk to me

"About school. You need to start school again. I've already looked at a school for you." he says

"Isn't there a way I could be homeschooled? I really don't have happy memories in school. I promise you I will learn. My grades show how much I dedicate to learning. Please." I practically beg him

I see he is thinking and get a bit hopeful. I really don't have pleasant memories in school. I know I will be in a different school but I don't want to go through all the bullying again. That's a part of why I started self harming. Now I have stopped since Lewis's crash and I don't want to relapse. I want to stay clean. Lewis showed me that there is happiness in life too, not just sadness and pain. And if I ever feel the urge to do it I will talk to him because I know he will calm me down and tell me to not do it because it's not helping me.

"You promise you study?" he asks after a while

"Yes I promise." I say

"I will find you a tutor. And one more thing. He is coming with us at the races." he says

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I say hugging him tight

"You want to watch something?" he asks

"Do you like prison break?" I ask him

"I've heard of it." he says

"Do you want to watch it?" I ask

"Alright." he says and puts it on Netflix

I go to the kitchen and make some popcorn. After a few minutes I come back and lay down next to Lewis. I put the bowl between us and cover myself with a blanket. I love being cozy while watching movies or series. And I love prison break. It's an og series. We watch ten episodes of it before it gets time for dinner.

"What do you want for dinner kiddo?" ask Lewis

"Lasagna?" I ask

"I think we should have it in one of the drawers. I'll go and check." says Lewis

"Yep, we have lasagna. I'll start making it. But it will be vegan." says Lewis

"It's alright." I say and pull out my phone to watch a bit of Tik tok

I watch a bit before I start playing a dupe to Minecraft. It's really funny. Right now I'm on the search for a village. After that I will find a cave and explore it in hope to find some diamonds. After I get some and make myself an armour I will build a nether portal. There I will find a fortress and get some blaze rods. After that I will find a some piglins to trade with in hope of a few ender pearls. After that I will go back to the normal world and make my way to find the stronghold with the eye of ender's I made. When I find it I will search for the portal and put all of the eyes in their place before going in. Then my mission is to kill the dragon and get the egg. In the time in which I do that Lewis finishes making the lasagna exactly when I kill the dragon.

"Dinner is ready kid. Go wash your hands." says Lewis

I go to the bathroom and wash my hands before coming back and sitting down on the table.

"It smells delicious." I say

"There you go." says Lewis serving the plates on the table before sitting down

I take a bite out of the lasagna and I almost let out a moan from how good it is.

"It's amazing dad." I say and continue eating

After we finish eating I wash the dishes with Lewis. After that I go to my room and get changed into my pjs. I sit down on my vanity and do my skincare. After that I go to the living room and me and Lewis continue watching prison break. I snuggle up to him under the blanket and we stay like that the whole time while watching. After a few episodes we decide to go to bed. I go to my room and Lewis tucks me in.

"Goodnight, kiddo." he says and kisses my forehead

"Goodnight, dad." I say to him

Lewis leaves my room and goes to his own. I lay down on my stomach and hug the jelly cat I got from Seb. Soon I fall into an uninterrupted sleep.
