Who are we to deserve each other? A teen fiction by PenelopeSart

Chapter 1•Music box

When I was young, I heard the same sounds every night. Loud bangs and thuds, crashes and the sound of things breaking.

   So much screaming and yelling that the ring in my ear made me forget the difference.

  I remember staying up all night, knowing I had school in the morning.And thinking what if tomorrow was different.What if the terrible music that my house plays will just eventually stop.

  "S-stop.." music becomes louder. "S-Stop it"
I had no idea what caused this sound.Maybe I did.But I didn't understand, my innocence wouldn't allow me to.I mean I was 9 back then, I was a child.

   I remember every night at exactly 12:00, everything was still.It was quiet.As if the music has reached it's end.It was as if a spell has been broken, like in one of those books my dad would read me when I was 5.Those were fun times.

  Then my mom would walk in, holding that little precious, slightly purple wooden box, made by my father, that sadly isn't with us anymore.Life was better with him here.I miss you.

  "Hey, princess.." my mom would say as she'd pull a chair next to my desk. "Are you asleep?"

 
It was obvious i wasn't. I couldn't sleep.

   "Just play it already." i closed my eyes, and hopefully I could forget that terrible song, and just listen to my fathers Music box.It was beautiful. It was as if he was playing music just for me all the way from the clouds above.It felt like he was here, forever.

    I felt...happy.

  I'd eventually fall asleep, and eventually the music box would stop.Like the that terrible song I would hear every night.Every song can reach its end.

   But can be rewinded, to play once more.
Every night.
