"i don't want a faggot son." my dad pushes me to the ground and i hit my head on the dresser.

"i-" i cant speak.

"leave him the fuck alone!" amber walks in the door.

"oh look another faggot." he says picking her up. "you think you can protect him bitch? your weak." he throws her across the room and she hits the wall.

"amber!" i yell.

"shut up! you want to know why you're still alive? i get money from the government because you're a 'foster kid' and also because i can't get away with killing you like i did your sisters. you should have been killed in that fire!" he says picking me up by the collar of my shirt. "they we're possessed or something. they could read the future. witches."

"leave me alone." i kick him in the nuts making him drop me and stumble back.

"motherfucker!" he says. he the grabs me again an-

i wake up and let out a curdling scream. cyrus sat up quickly and looked at me.

"tj what's wrong? what happened?" he asked.

i tried talking but i couldn't. i wiped the sweat off my head and looked at cyrus.

"m...my dad. i h..ha..had a flashback about hi...him." i say stuttering.

"hey hey it's alright." cyrus says as he lays back down and snuggles up to me. im sure he can feel me shaking. "it's okay." he soothes me. "it's okay. he's not here anymore. you have people that love you now. i love you."

"hey wake up gorgeous." i gently shake cyrus awake. "it's saturday. which means it's time."

me and cyrus had made plans to go see his parents and then go to the bank and see what my parents had left in the bank.

"UgHh." cyrus says getting out of bed and going to get ready, and i do the same.

"cyrus what did you do with my jacket?" i ask coming out of the bathroom. i look at him and noticr he's wearing it. he begin to take it off when i stop him.

"it's okay i have another one." i say grabbing another jacket. "okay, let's go."

cyrus knocks on the door of his parents new house and his mom quickly rushes to the door.

"cyrus? tj? come on in!!" she says excitedly.

we walk in the house and she gives cyrus a big hug.

"i've missed you so much! where have you been?" she asks.

"me and tj were staying at a friends. after what happened we decided that that was the best choice." he says sitting down at the table.

"tj i am so very sorry about your fam-" he cuts her off.

"it's fine. i don't really want to talk about it." he says sitting beside me.

"so are you two finally dating or...?" she asks cheekily making cyrus blush.

"yeahh" he smiles. "anyways we wanted to talk to you about something."

"of course." she sits across from us. "go ahead."

"well me and tj are thinking about getting our own apartment. we don't have the money right now so-" she cuts cyrus off.

"apartment? cyrus you know how many houses we own in this town!" she says.

"well i was scared to just come here and be like 'hey mom can we stay in one of your houses okay thanks' ya know." he laughs.

"i'll be right back." she gets up and walks to the kitchen and rushes back with a keychain holding 2 keys.

"you haven't seen this one before cyrus but i'm sure this one will be your favorite." she smiles handing us the keys. "tj you will love it too!"

"wow- mom thank you so much." cyrus says.

"i knew this day would come." she smiles. "by the time you get there your present should be there already."

"present?" we ask in unison.

she nods.
