Me and Riley both sat on our beds in the dorm.

Glynda was looking down on us in anger.

She had a way of making students bow they're heads in shame.

Glynda: I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am in you two!

Riley: He started it!

Glynda: It doesn't matter! Its always one of you whos starting a fight. Its either Rileys screwed up thought process-

Riley: Hey!

Glynda: -Or Wolfgangs temperment issues! Riley, your lucky I dont call your father.

Then she looked at me and sighed.

I lowered my head.

Glynda: Wolfgang. I'm not even sure on what to say to you. I'm legitimately lost on words. What would your mother say? She would be very disappointed if she was even still around-

Before she even finished her sentence, she knew she struck a nerve.

Her face became of regret.

Riley stood up

Riley: Thats enough.

Glynda: How dare you talk to me like that, young man.

Riley: How dare you talk about his family like that, dumb bitch!

He covered his mouth.

Riley: Oh shit!

Glynda: Riley...

She tried to contain her rage.

Glynda: You two just... Try not to get into anymore fights, okay?

She walked out.

Riley came over and sat beside me.

Riley: You good man?

I didn't respond

Riley: Man you don't cope to well, do ya? She didn't mean to say it. She was just mad. I mean, hey, I call you a conceited asshole when I'm mad! Well, I used to.

He pat my back.

Riley: You know what, I'm taking you to therapy.

I gave him a pissed off look.

Riley: Dont say no cuz you got no choice. You need help and I'm gonna get you some! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go get shitfaced in a bar down in Vale with Izaiah.

With that, he stood up amd walked out.

I decided to lay down for a while, and got into sleeping clothes and went to sleep on my bed.

But then I had the worst nightmare of them all.

I had to be three or four and Yang was barely even three months at the time...

The time my mother left...

I stood by the door at midnight with my mother infront of me.

I remembered the tears rolling down my face.

Me: Mommy? You'll... You'll be back... Right...? Well see each other again... Right?

She kneeled infront of me and stroked her hand along my cheek.

Raven: Of course, my dear.

She kissed my forehead.

Raven: I'll come back for you, sweetheart. Mommy's just gotta take care of somethings, alright?
