You never really start to worry about someone until they're actually gone. A quote I always thought about after my father died off. After that cat. that stupid damn cat. That day changed mine and my mother's lives forever. We were all happy until then. Having picnics. Playing in the park. Dancing to metal music which we all loved. Or at least I did. It was perfect. Until that day. May 26, 2002. One month before my birthday. I was six. My parents were happy. My mom's hair was in a nice bun that was kept neat. She had light makeup on. My dad was just as bald as ever. And me. Well I was in a my baseball cap. The cap that I never wore again after this day. It was all sunshine's and lollipops. Happy. That is until that cat. If only I didn't adventure off. Maybe, Maybe my dad would have been alive. Maybe I wouldn't look like a freak. Maybe everyone wouldn't treat me like a child. That stupid cat. He called me over.

"Laaaaarrrryyyy" ???? said.
I looked over trying to find out who made that noise.
"Larrrryyyy" I hear again. Finally I turn to my left and see a figure that seems to look like a black cat in the background. It's eyes fully red.
"Mom! Dad! look at cat!! Can I go pet it??" I ask excited and ignorant as ever.
"Sure kiddo just be careful, and don't go to far lunch is soon. Oh shoot I left the forks in the car." My dad says.
"I'll go get them honey" my half pregnant wobbling mother says wanting to walk off some of her swollen ankles.
They end up saying other things but I don't even care. By now I'm just running towards the damn cat. Worst idea ever.
"Why'd you do it larry?" The cat says.
"Huh?" I ask it.
"You got out of sight Larry" the cat says.
"Oh well uh I'll just go back in sight. I must have left my invisible cloak on again. But uh...how can you see me if it's on?" I ask the cat
"You fool. You're lost don't you see? You followed me all the way out here. How will your parents find you now?" The cat says.
That moment on I turned into a freak. The blood ran down my face I couldn't see hardly anything until I heard something that sounded like my dad.
"Hold on Larry!!!"
If it was well that was the last I ever heard of him. I got rushed to the hospital where they got me this damn prosthetic mask. My eyes were fine except for one. Mom mother was never the same. She became depressed. She blamed the cat I told her about but maybe it was just to distract me from what really happened. The baby never made it. We both just became lifeless. my self esteem was gone. That is until I met my best friend.
