Laila's P.O.V

I was walking home from school as usual. When I got home I notice dad and my 7 year old sister Lacie playing a game of football.

I sighed as I made my way into my room. I should be used to this by now but I don't think I will ever be used to it.

If only things were like they used to. But it seems to me like things just keep getting worse.

I'm lying on my bed crying when I feel my bed move and look up to see Uncle Mikey.

"What's wrong bug?" Mikey asked rubbing my back.

"What it always is." I say feeling more tears coming.

"Do you want me to try talking to him?" Mikey asked.

I nodded as I started sobbing in his arms.

"Don't worry, even though you feel like things have been getting worse for you, it will only get better for you I promise." Mikey said.

"Thanks Mikey." I said with a small smile.

"Don't let this bother you too much Laila." Mikey said.

"I'll try." I sighed.

Mikey kissed the top of my head before walking out of the room, leaving me with my thoughts.
