My secret place//

Once we finally arrived at the abounded building I slowly opened the door. I always kept it a jar open so that I would always be able to get it. Previous experiences I shut the door and had to literally use all my strength to open it again, there's stupid Scarlett for you.
I really have no clue why I keep coming here, it is really creepy. There's spiderwebs all around and the old rotten furniture covered in inches of dust.
It sort of reminds me of one of those olden day houses in those movies but it's not that bad.
There is only three pieces off furniture consisting of one maroon armchair covered in inches of dust, one gold photo frame inside there's a photo off a little girl faces and then a giant piano in the middle off the empty room.
I've never dared touched the piano I just feel like there's spirits or ghost in here or something.
Shuddering at the thought I quickly hurry Olivia and Isaac up the stairs following closely behind.
Once we reach the top I open the door and take in the amazing view. I absolutely love it up here, it's absolutely a beauty. You can see everything and anything up here, I can stay up here all day watching the passing traffic.
The rooftop is quite large half of the rooftop is opened roof where the other half is sheltered.
It's a weird design but it's perfect for me to store things away like my guitar.
My guitar that my parent won't exactly let me have.
I then take my backpack off and lay a light blue blanket on the floor for us all to sit on as the floor  can become extremely cold sometimes.
I then take a few chips out my bag and a pot of grapes for them to share.
Already tucking in the food, they eat so much it's ridiculous.
While they are occupied by the memorising food it was my chance to grab my guitar.
I grab my guitar and songbook and place my self opposite Isaac and Olivia.
I hate the fact I have to hide doing something I love from my parents.
I've always begged my parents for a guitar but they've always laughed in my face, especially my dad.
"why would you need that?"
"Don't be so stupid"
Would always be the response id get it always made me extremely sad that I would never be able to even try and learn to play.

----
it was my third time asking my parents for a guitar, I even suggested splitting the cost between me. Yet the say no.
It feels like they don't even believe in me.
The only good thing today is my aunt Mandy is here, she's super sweet and kind.

"hii scar"

"hi aunt Mandy"
I say while giving her a quick hug. My parents where out the room preparing dinner for us all.
"So scar, what'd you like for your birthday?"
"I really want a guitar but mom nor dad will let me"
I say.
"I'll see what I can do"
She says with a wink.

So that's how I got my guitar, it's very old now but I'm still super grateful for it. I know they don't come cheap, I got it for my 12th birthday and I learned how to play on YouTube.
My parents obviously hated the idea I had a guitar and told me to get rid of it straight away or they would.
It really hurt to know they wouldn't even give me a chance to learn it but luckily for me I had found this place a few weeks earlier, ever since its been the perfect hiding spot.
to be honest I don't see what's so bad about singing and playing guitar? Like look at Beyoncé & Rihanna and all of them super successful singers. Why couldn't I even attempt to live my dream?
My parents think it's the easy way out of live, really offensive if you ask me.
They (mainly my dad) believes they are stupid and thought they only chose the music career because they had nothing else.
I absolutely love music but it's a shame that I'll never have a chance to prove myself, the biggest audience I've ever played in front is 4 of my friends. Wow great. Note the sarcasm.

I was brought back to reality when Olivia came and sat on my lap with a tear in her eye.

"hey hey what's wrong?"
I asked while gently stroking her hair.
"w-why d-d-do m-mommy an-d d-dadd-y always f-fight?"
She said in between heavy sobs, it hurts to know how upset it makes them. It's hard for me because I don't even have an answer. I continue to stroke her hair.
I then sit her in front of me and pulled Isaac next to her.
"Well basically when you get older, there are lots of problems that you have to deal with, like money or jobs. At the minute mommy and daddy are having a few problems so they keep on fighting. They only fighting because they care loads about each other, they love each other so much they only want what's best for each other"
I say more to my self than anything.
"you see mommy and daddy's always have problems but it's okay to because very soon. Very very soon mommy and daddy will be very happy again and not fighting more. They are just going through a bad situation at the minute but don't worry it will be over soon."
I say trying to be as convincing as possible.
"Y-you promise?"
Isaac said while wiping a few tears away.
I couldn't promise them that but I had to.
"I promise"
I whisper.
"But remember no matter what happens with any of us I will always be there for you. I will always care and love you till the day we die, even when you are both old and have your own boyfriends or girlfriends and little children"
I say while a few tears fall down my cheeks.
"Ewwww"
The scream and I just laugh at them.
"Whatever happens with mommy and daddy I'll always be the best big sister ever, I love you both very much."
I say slowly while I wipe a tear that fell down my cheek.
"Forever and always"
I whisper.

A/n: OMG THE LAST PART OMG. It's so sad my heart awwww.
