"What do you mean you're pregnant!?" A deep voiced boomed through the dark halls of a large house. Two young girls listened to their parents arguing.
"I mean that I'm pregnant! That's it and that's all."
"I don't want this child. Go have an abortion!"
"We're keeping this baby whether you like it or not. Now, if that's a problem, I can take Esabell and Jayme with me as well!" The shouting and the arguing had ceased. The adults had noticed the two young toddlers, both three years old, hiding behind the chair.
"It's ok girls. Mommy and Daddy are just having a little disagreement. Come on, let Daddy tuck you back into bed."

"It's a boy! Nurses, clean him up and weigh him."
"A baby boy! You hear that Amanda? We have a son!"

"Ryder at least hit the damn ball!" An older man is throwing a baseball at a younger boy.
"I'm trying Daddy!"
"Boo! Ryder sucks!" His older sister Jayme taunts him.
The boy swings the bat harder, which slips out of his hand and into the window behind him.
"Dammit Ryder! Get your ass over here!" The father proceeds to whip the child, paying no regards to the torturous wails of the child.

"Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie, Ryder is a good boy I assure you. He's very smart and intelligent. However, he never puts forth any effort in his work! This is the reason why the boy is failing right now." A teacher expresses her concerns to the boy's parents at an after school conference.
"I assure you Ms. Linda, he grades will improve ten-fold. Isn't that right Ryder?" The father gives the boy an intimidating look. He nods his head slowly to the teacher. That look only brought pain and misery unto him. He knew what would happen to him behind closed doors.

"You're entering High School, and you've never had a girlfriend you fat piece of shit!" Jayme is laughing at him. Over the years, Ryder just stopped caring. He felt numb. He ate his pain away. Now 15 years old, he weighs 210lbs.
"You know nothing about me bitch! Go die in a hole!"
"Dad!!! Ryder threatened to kill me!!!" She runs into their father's office, and he storms out behind her.
"To your room now scum. GET. OUT. OF. MY. FACE!" And Ryder, he is the one who is always punished.
He is unwanted.
