Do you Believe in Love?

Daniel's POV

My name is Daniel. Daniel Rode. Yeah. Let's start with that, the easier topic of this chapter. To say the least, I have it pretty bad. An alcoholic mother and an abusive father. I'm pretty used to my new life. The reason I say new is because my life's occurrences have drastically changed from when I was in Elementary school. You see, when I was just about to leave for the morning bus on the last day of fifth grade, I ended up having enough courage to come out of the closet about being gay. Which was what I had been putting off telling them until later. 

First and foremost, you want to know about my family right? Well let's start off with my dad. His name is Lyle Rode. Like I stated before, he's abusive. Whenever I meet his eyes or am caught doing something I'm not supposed to he'll hurt me in any way imaginable. Of course he's never done anything inappropriate. He's not a pedophile and i'm quite sure he isn't into incest. I won't get too into detail but will move on.

Secondly, my mother, Stephanie Rode. She was never always an alcoholic. When I came out and my father had a sudden anger issue, she tried to stop it but soon figured that drinking away her problems was more efficient then going to the authorities. If you're wondering why I haven't gone to them yet it's because Lyle said that if I even thought about it he'd brake my arms and legs. I know you think that it's only a threat but it's worse when I know he's capable of breaking my bones just like twigs. 

I hoped this let you understand a little more. The story starts now.
