It's been a hard life for Y/N.
Ever since she was born, she's been thrown into a string of foster homes that haven't treated her well. Abuse and fear have riddled her life.
Until she reaches one home...

Tears ran down my face as I rock back and forth in the pitch black closet. There's a bunch of yelling going on outside. Screams echoing through my head. Stop the fighting. Please just stop yelling.
"Fuck you Ezra!" There's the slam of a door. I shake and tremble, trying to keep myself quiet so I don't get yelled at too.
Why does every house I go to have to be violent? Verbally and physically, they've been abusive towards me or the other kids here. I just want into stop. I'm scared I'm going to be hurt more.
Then the closet door whips open and I look up into Ezra's angry eyes.
"Get out of the closet!" He yells. He grabs a chunk of my hair and throws me out, my body slamming into wall. "Let me tell you something," He leans closer to my face. "If you'll anyone about what happens in this household, I will hurt you. Do you understand?"
"I-I-"
"Do you understand?!" He roars. I let out a sob in response. Suddenly, a searing pain rips across my right cheek. I fall to the ground from the force, holding my face in shock. He slapped me. "Answer me!"
"Y-Yes!" I choke out. "I-I understand!" My tears roll down my face and onto the ground. "I'm sorry."
"You better be. Remember, we take care of you and at any moment we could throw you out onto the streets with the homeless. Be a good girl, and stay quiet." He threatens. "Now go to your damn room and don't come out until I say so." I pick myself up off the floor and make a dash towards my bedroom, closing the door behind me.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay-"
It's not okay. He hates you. Everyone this household hates you. You're unwanted and a burden to everyone.
"No..."
Yes. Just kill yourself already. Nobody wants you here.
"Y/N!"
Jolting awake from my nightmare, I clutch my chest with pain, tears streaming down my face. No... no, please. I turn my face onto the pillow to muffle my sobs so no one can hear me, that was horrible... horrible.
You need to stop crying, weakling
"I can't..." A strained whisper escapes my mouth.
Stop! You're showing weakness and for I care, you are not allowed to act this way when people are around.
"But-"
Shut up, dumbass!
...
"Y/N!" I jump at the sound of Katelyn's voice ringing through my ear, looking at her, I look at Aph as well.
"I zoned out again, didn't I?" I ask, nervously itching the back of my neck.
