Zanes POV

"You're never here Garte! You're always working!"

"How do you expect this household to make money then?!  I dont see YOU doing anything but USING my money!"

"YOUR money!? OUR money is the right way to say it. And if you don't remember, im the reason you were even ABLE to start your business. You were to poor before you married me to even afford an actual house!" Mom and Dad were fighting for what seemed like the millionth time this week.

I sat on the floor of my bedroom closet downstairs with my knees to my chin and my hands pressed against my ears. The fighting doesnt seem to bother Garroth, my older brother, and Vylad, my younger brother, as much as it bothers me. I looked into my room at my clock. 11:39. It was pretty late. Vylad is 11 years old, so he still has to go to bed early. Garroth is 14 and I am 13 so we dont have to go to bed until 11:00. Knowing Garroth though, he was asleep way before Vylad. So its just me and the fighting.

I looked over to my window and snuck over to it. I knew my parents wouldnt be coming into my room until it was morning so I have plenty of time. I quietly unlocked my window and pushed it open. I snuck outside and left the window ajar so i could sneak back in later. I creeped into the woods using the flashlight on my phone. To be fair, ive been through the woods a million times so i dont really need it. But you never know. I walked for about 20 minutes until i got to my special spot.

I sat down at the base of my favorite tree and ran my hands through my hair. I thought about how horrible my life was. My brothers are both better than me and they both hate me. Im bullied at school. My parents never stop fighting. Im not good in school. Im not good at anything. Im going to end up on the side of the street when i get older. Thinking of everything causes a tear to roll from my good eye. Threw the trees, I see a shooting star.

"Star light, star bright. Shooting star I see tonight. I wish i may, i wish i might. Have this wish i wish tonight." After reciting the well know phrase, i close my eyes to make my wish.

"I need someone to help me. Please. Im begging. I need someone. Anyone."
