[FEEL FREE TO SKIP]

Mafuyuu's POV:

Once I reached my house's door, I hesitantly knocked on the door, the door opened abruptly, a furious expression burning up on my mother's face.

She dragged me on the couch pinned me there while screaming at me

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOU SICK BITCH!? DELUSIONAL FUCK! WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN??"

My dad entered and looked at the scene with wide eyes

"Darling, what are you doing on top of my daughter?"

"She deserved it for lying to me about being at school when she was probably being with those distractions of her friends"

My dad replied in anger

"So what, can't she live her life without you underestimating her?"

He swatted me from my mother's hands and started arguing, watching the scene was horrifying, slapping, violent language, all of it was enough for me.

I was breathing heavily and I felt a pain in both my chest and head.

I immediately got to my room, closing the door while trying to find something to block the sound, thank goodness my mom didn't bring my headphones away.

I put them on and put some calming music to relax my nerves, the music was on full volume, there was still some yelling, but the music was muffling it a bit.

After 15 minutes, the yelling finally stopped and the house was silent again, I took off my headphones, but I was terrified of going downstairs, I didn't bother my empty stomach, so I just did my assignments, took a shower and just curled in bed, clutching my pillow.

I sometimes wish there was someone to save me, I'm thankful for my dad for always being by my side.

Then, a knock on my bedroom door was heard.

At first I was hesitant and my fear was about to rise up again, till someone spoke behind:

"Mafuyuu, it's me, your dad, please open the door"

I was relieved, I opened the door, my dad was holding a plate, there were two rice balls on it.

"Hey sweetie, I have these for you, you just shuffled in your room without eating anything so I just bought some leftovers, I used the excuse that it was going to be for my lunch at work"

He smiled warmly at me, I smiled back

"Thanks dad"

He placed the plate on my desk, I went to him and hugged him"

He sat down on my bed and we started chatting while I ate

"So, what was your mother mad about?"

I swallowed, but unlike my mom, he looked worried

"Mafuyuu, it's okay you can tell me"

I spoke up shakily

"I- I"

"I wanted to tell Kanade about my feelings but I knew my mom would kill me if I actually told her what happened, so I lied, telling her I was busy with a project"

"Please don't be mad"

"No, I'm not mad"

"Wait, really?"

"Mafuyuu, yes I'm honest"

Mafuyuu's dad pov:

I decided to stay in Mafuyuu's room for a while, letting her vent to me, her frustrations and more.

The more I listened the more I felt my heart aching.

My wife was barely nice to her, only if she did what she wanted to, to her Mafuyuu's friends were just a distraction, Mafuyuu's real dream, to start a band of her own, to her mother it only seemed worthless.

She wanted her to become a doctor, even though Mafuyuu never agreed to it, I was the only one supporting Mafuyuu's dream and I just hoped graduation comes closer, even though I doubted Mafuyuu would ever meet her freedom.

After letting it all out and letting her cry on my shoulder, I tucked her in her bed and gave a kiss on her forehead before turning off the lights and leaving the room.
