Chapter 6-Family day.

---------------------------------------------------------

     Recap: I lay on my bed and James says Goodnight, leaving me to be alone. I just think of everything and cry myself to sleep, feeling weak and useless.

     Come on Luna... tomorrow will get better. Just, Try harder...

---------------------------------------------------------

     I open my eyes, squinting at the white ceiling as the sun shines through my window. Fricken bright as hell. I look down as I sit up to see Georgie asleep laying on me.

     I shake her a little, waking her up as she yawns. I laugh a little, It was a Thursday but I was gonna go to work instead today. Charlotte said we all could go and have a family day today.

     James seemed a little depressed, and then hearing this was okay with the idea. 'Is he getting bullied?' Is all I could think as We eat breakfast.

     "So, how's school James?" He looks at me, confused for a second. "It's fine. Thank you.♧" He says, slight annoyance in his tone. 'Geez kid, lighten up...'

     Georgie giggles as she plays with her food, throwing it around. I sigh, and laugh. Cleaning up her mess. As we all finish I put our dishes away.

     We all go to our rooms, getting dressed for the day. I'm wearing all black. I go to James room. I peek in to see him scratching at his arm. I knock and he jumps.

     "C-come in..♧" He says, stuttering. "Hey.. I saw you scratching them." He looks down as I sit next to him. "Come on bud, We're gonna have a better day with all 4 of us." I say, trying to reasure us both. He nods slightly, still scratching.

     I grab his hand, and rub his arm gently. "Stop, try and be happy. At least, during the day, For Georgie." I say. He nods and hugs me. After a minute or so we go downstairs, waiting to go. Georgie comes down in a pink fluffy dress, more like a tu-tu.

     We all get in the car and drive to where I work. I work in the play area as James goes to the bigger equipment.

<James POV. 1 time opportunity>

     I go to the play equipment while Luna takes Georgie to the littler kid area. I sit in a secret area that isn't a place that's seen, and hold my knees to my chest.

     I cry, thinking of the past....

-Warning;Flashback includes abuse-

     Georgie crys, and I go to my mom. "Mom? Georgie is crying.♧" "I don't care you dumb kid get out of my room!" She throws a beer bottle at me. I cover Georgie so she doesn't get hit. "Don't you care!?♧" "No!!" She gets up, punching me to the groun, kicking me out of her room. Drunk ass, whatever. At least Georgie is okay.

-End-

     I roll up my sleeves, scratching at the scars. Wishing they would bleed, wishing I would die.

     "Useless" "Dumb" "Bitch" "Screw-up" Words fill my head and I scratch more. Sobbing at the words. I get up, going to the bathroom. I've hidden a blade in here awhile back...

     I grab the blade from behind the toilet, Cutting up my arms. Watching the blood drip to the floor. I sigh as my thoughts go numb. I wash the blade, and clean the floor.

     I go out, having my sleeve rolled back up. Sitting near Luna. Feeling nothing but emotionless. I feel nothing but blank. I sigh peacefully at the stinging feeling of my arm.

     Luna comes over to me, noticing my sleeve peeking with red stains. She grabs my arm, rolling up the sleeve. I just stare at the floor as she hugs me.

     I feel, nothing... I'm glad, I'd rather feel nothing or feel pain then feel and, hear the thoughts, and painful memories, and the memories of the abuse.

<Luna POV-Back Again>

     I hug him, him not seeming to really move at my touch. "James... why?" I ask. He just stares at the floor. Georgie comes over to us and rubs James's arm.

     "Broth, Come play with me!☆" Georgie yells, trying to change his mood. James rolls his sleeve up and picks her up.

     "For you, little one.♧" He says, taking her to the slide and pushing her down while making sure to be at the bottom, being prepared to catch her.

     "Weee!! Ahaha!!☆" Georgie screams, James catching her, and twirling her around. Little kids always cease to amaze me. Georgie can always make us stop being depressed, at least for enough time to have a good day.

     "Here, let's take a photo of you all!" Charlotte says, having us pose. We're infront of a wall full of paint, I'm standing behind a chair, James is in the chair, and James is holding Georgie. Georgie laughs and we all laugh and Charlotte takes the photo.

     ~Hours later/7:00pm~

     We all get out of the car, infront of Dennys. Time for dinner. We've never done a family dinner when we were with our birth givers.

     "Bacon! Pancakes! Hashbrowns!☆" Georgie yells, getting into the high chair. We all have a breakfast for dinner type meal, laughing and smiling throughout dinner.

     "I'm glad you kids are happy." Charlotte says, smiling at us as we smile back. "Thanks Charlotte, for everything these past few days." I say, feeling happy but also regretful for cutting.

     "Thank you Mommy!☆" Georgie screams, laughing as she smushes pancakes on her face. "Thanks Mom..♧" James says, smiling and eating his Bacon.

     As we finish, and pay we all laugh, and smile on the way home. Georgie falls asleep in her buster seat in the car and James just hums, I play on my phone.

     I see all the hate messages but just ignore them at the moment. Not wanting to feel the emotional pain in front of them.

     When we get home, I put Georgie in her bed and make sure James is okay as I tuck him in. I go to my room, getting ready for bed, plugging my phone in, and turning it off.

     I'd rather sleep on a good note.
