A/n this chapter consists of abuse, mentions of suicide and self harm. ||-//

"We'reee home" a familiar voice said, obviously slurring his words as he made his way into the house.

"Answerrrr u..us.. you damn child" the other voice said, equally as intoxicated as the first. I quickly made my way into my "hiding spot" aka my room like I normally did when those two monsters came home drunk. They would always come home to yell at me for them not having any money. Todays not worth it.

I lock my door as soon as I make it into the room, hoping they didn't see me or hear where I was.

Too late.

"Open up you lazzyyy ass bitch" He said, banging as hard as he could on the wooden door that stood between us.

Those words hurt worse then anytime they would hit me.

"Leave me the fuck alone!!!" I scream back

"That's no way to.. to talk to us like that young lady" He said getting louder with every word said. The louder he was the more angry he got, and more violent in that case.

"That's no way to talk to your fucking child then!!" I scream right back at them

"You are no goddamn child if ours, if we knew what you would turn out to be, we would have aborted you then." His wife screamed through the door.

Just as the banging stopped the door broke open from what seemed to be a metal chair being thrown into it. I quickly duck under the black desk in my room so I don't get hit with any debris from the door. They both quickly step in to my room and head directly towards me. He grabs my wrist and pulls me out from hiding.

"Stand up now!!" He screamed.

I did as I was told and stood up, avoiding eye contact with the two adults standing infront of me.

"Awe what did poor crystal try to kill herself again?" She said pointing to the cuts on my arms. I try to pull away but his grip begins to tighten around my wrist.

"Anything to get away from you bastards" I mumble back to them.

"Well you obviously didn't try hard enough, we wouldnt have to deal with you if you killed yourself you know."

Tears start to form on my face and I try to fight them back.

"Awe is poor crystal crying?" He sarcastically said.

I tried to scream but no words came out of my mouth. I try again and nothing. I begin to panic as I start to hear another voice that's no where to be seen.

Crystal wake up

Crystal!!

Are you okay!!

"Crystal!!"

I quickly shoot my head up in a panic.

Thank god that was just a dream.

I turn my head to see Tyler and Jenna standing there, worried looks on their faces.

"Are you guys okay?" I say confused

"We heard you screaming and came to check on you" Tyler started, "the real question is are you okay?"

I start to remember what had happened in my dream.

It was before I was adopted, it was about my real parents.

Tears start to form on my face as I shake my head and cry. I'm quickly pulled into a hug by Jenna and Tyler to calm me down, which doesn't help.

"I'm...I'm sc....scared" I manage to get out in between cries.

"Hey it okay, you are okay. You wanna talk about it?" Jenna said letting go of me and sitting beside me on my bed.

Before Tyler sits down Jenna mumbles something in his ear and he nods. Jenna then leaves the room but not before giving me a hug and whispering, "have a conversation about it with ty okay?"

I turn on my phone to see the time, 3:46 Am.

"Tyler I'll be fine it was just a nightmare. Besides you need sleep."

"No I'm fine. I was up anyways. Wanna go get some food?"

I nod, throw on a sweatshirt and we make our way to the car.

~~

We make our way into Denny's and seat ourselves since the place is not busy. I order as well as Tyler and we just kinda sit there in silence for a while until Tyler speaks up.

"So what happened?"

"It was a nightmare I had," I start, "but I've never had something like this since being adopted, it was about my real parents"

He nods and I continue, "It was so real Tyler, every night they would come back from the bar very waisted and took their anger out on me"

"Was the dream about that?"

"Yes it was, they kept telling me to kill myself as well. Tyler I thought I was actually back in that hell hole."

"Well you are not, okay? are minds are sick and twisted ways sometimes. They will tell us to do things that we don't wanna do, they will bring up memories that we don't wanna remember. And then make are dreams nightmares. I used to have nightmares so bad that I began to treat myself horribly. I was so scared that something bad would happen if I didn't forget about them. It got pretty bad. Crystal I don't want the same thing to happen to you. Your "parents" cannot hurt you ever again. I promise you. They are in jail and won't be able to do harm to you anymore."

"I fell like it might happen though! Tyler what if it does?"

"I promise you it won't. You just have to believe me crystal. They don't control you"

I nod and began to eat my pancakes.

"Thank you Tyler"

"You're welcome crystal"
