Everything went black.
- FLASHBACK !! -
My mom was pushing me on the swing. Liam comes out with Iced Tea and hands it to her. She smiles. I smile.
We're a happy family. Everything is perfect. Everything will be perfect. It has to be. It will be.
My mom's smiling. It's the first day of school. Liam and my mom both walk me to the front doors. My mom starts crying. Why is she upset? Did I hurt her? I didn't try to.
"It's okay hunny." My mom smiled.
She's hiding. She's hurting. She hides that she's hurting. No one noticed. I did. I always noticed.
Who was hurting her? Who made her this way? Was it because of me? It probably is. It's all my fault. It's always my fault.
Maybe if I left. Maybe her and Liam could work everything out.
The first day of kindergarten. I got pushed at recess. My knee started bleeding. I had to go to the nurse. It was a terrible day. I hated it.
"Hey hunny. How was your day?" My mom asked when I got home.
"It was a great day. I loved it." Little me said to my mom.
"That's perfect sweethart." She said smiling.
I smiled back and walked into the living room. Liam was there. He was sitting in a recliner with a weird glass bottle he always drank from. It was beer.
My mom always told me to stay away from it. It can change you and hurt your brain.
"You shouldn't drink that. It will hurt your brain." I say to Liam.
"Yeah, says who?" He yelled.
"Mom." I state.
Liam throws the glass bottle and it shatters. The beer goes everywhere. Glass goes everywhere. I scream in utter shock. What do I do?
"Run Leilani!" My mom screams. "Leave her alone." She yells.
I go to my room. Both my mom and Liam are yelling. They won't stop. I hear something break and my mom yells.
"Mom, are you okay?" I yell down the stairs. I start to walk down the stairs. I see my mom's hands in the air. Both of them are yelling. Liam turns to throw something. It hits me and shatters on my head. Everything is black.
I wake up in the hospital. My mom is holding my hand. Liam is talking to the police outside of the window. The police turn him around and put handcuffs on him.
"He can't hurt us anymore. He can't." My mom whispers. "We will be okay now. He will never be back."
My mom leans in to kiss me on my forehead.
I wake up from the flashback to see Parker. He makes me feel safe. I couldn't help but smile as he was holding me. I look to my right and see my mom. She is still asleep. I look to my left and see Liam.
He is staring at me. I get up. I lock eye contact and walk up to him.
"Get out." I demand.
