~ 13 YEARS AGO ~

 As a ocean-blue eyed boy walking downstairs in the middle of the night, waking up due to constant shouting downstairs.

"Mommy? Papa?"

His eyes widened as he saw her mom, lying down, blood slipping on the floor as his mother slowly looked into his eyes, giving an apologetic look to her son. As his father was shaking and dropped the gun on the floor. As his mother finally closed her eyes, finally getting rest.

"WAAAAAAAAAH! MOMMY!"

"Hey, Baby, are you okay?"

"I....hwad..a nwitmware...Dani scwared."

As his mom song a lullaby to lure him to sleep as his ocean-blue eyes are slowing closing, eyelids flattering. After a couple of minutes, the little boy fell asleep in his mother's loving arms.

"Sleep tight, my little giraffe."

Little did he knew, that dream was slowly faltered from imagination

 ~ 5 YEARS AFTER ~

"Hey Daniel!" Bailey shouted in the hallway as he ran towards his best friend, the one who he has opened up to, the one who accepts his gender difficulties and encouraged him to muster up the strength to confess who really he is. He was grateful to him.

"Oi Bailey! long time no see!" Daniel spoke as spoke engulf him in a big hug, after not seeing his best friend for 1 and a half years. 

"So, how's vacation on Philippines?"

"Fucking amazing."

You see, his parents got on a fight, as his mother don't want to get harmed by his father, She flew Daniel all the way to The Philippines, where her aunt lives. and to heal from the trauma that his father caused.

 - After Class -

As glistening sunset rays seeping down on the pale skin of the brunette he looked on the window thinking some things and that of course includes for the bell to rang. And when he thinked of the bell ringing as sudden mystery feeling engulf his body as he felt he was here, at this moment, at this day. Yet before, He then remember exactly that he saw this. As his hands and feet started to shake, trembling from the enormous feeling his currently experiencing right now. 

He slowly looked at the clock above the board, 5:36 PM, Daniel impatiently waited for 1 more minute as he knew that bell will ring at 5:37 PM. And when the minute hand of the clock reaches at twelve, he finally heard the sound he wanted to hear.

Slowly walking on the side-paths, thinking about the moment he felt earlier, he didn't even knew he already passed his house until he heard some shouting voice, immediately stopped dead on his tracks, recognizing the voice. He looked behind realizing he already passed his house, he ran and opened the door. Witnessing the moment he didn't want to see.

At the moment he opened the door, he saw his drunk father, hitting his beloved mom. She fell to the floor, looking up to see her son has arrived. Daniel seeing this thing, his blood boiled up from 0 to 100. Anger rising to his face as he clenched his fists and walked up to his father.

* KAPOW!*

Daniel blew a punch to his father, almost dropping down on the floor but grabbed the shoulder of the sofa for support. As his father held his cheek surprised from the action. Before his father going to make a move, his mom stepped inbetween them, stopping the action as he grabbed her husband's arms, pushing out of the house. Finally, she slowly sat up on the floor as Daniel rushed on her knees. giving her a hug.

- THAT NIGHT -

 As a frustrated ocean-blue eyed boy walking downstairs in the middle of the night, waking up due to constant shouting downstairs.

"Mom? Dad?"

* BANG! *

His eyes widened as he saw her mom, lying down, blood slipping on the floor as his mother slowly looked into his eyes, giving an apologetic look to her son. As his father was shaking and dropped the gun on the floor. As his mother finally closed her eyes, that moment he knew. As well as the sounds of sirens wailing.

He knew.

As he fall on the floor along with the door banging, he could do nothing more than to cry. He felt his heart tighten, his head also started getting hurt as well. giving him dizziness as well. He could see nothing than blurriness. Witnessing her mother suffering like this. But finally getting the rest she deserves. She finally received the gift from the clouds who brought sleep.

"Hands up!!"

" Hey there buddy, calm down you will be-"

As he could not take it anymore finally falling unconscious and oblivious to the events that happened next.

He woke up in a white room, not remembering anything, he looked around to see his best friend sleeping peacefully in his arms. He woke up when Daniel tried to get up. Then got tackled into a hug.

"Oh my god Daniel! finally you're awake!" Bailey spoke as he tightened the grip on his hug.

"Yeah. What happen- MOM!"

Daniel frantically  shouts as fractions of events that happened last night finally came back. He suddenly stopped when he heard some sobbing.

"Dani, I'm really sorry."

Then it came to his mind , realizing what he said. Then the door opened to reveal a nurse and a police officer.

"Ah, I see you're awake, you're Daniel James Seavey right?" The police officer asked.

"I am."

"Let me get this straight, First of all, I'm sorry for your loss."

"No worries, We all are going experience this quite some time. I'm fine." 

"Just going to ask some few questions."

"Go ahead."

" Does your parents argue everytime?"

"Mhm, always."

"Do you know why?"

"Basic cliche curiosity of why my father has been coming home late and drunk off his ass. Then it started to get worse, from shouting to hurting, he even tried to rape me thinking I was my mom. That's all I knew."

"Well then, thank you, and again. Apologies." The police  officer tipped his hat and nodded, as he walked out of the room.

Daniel still damaged from what happened earlier but he still tried to remain calm and collected. The nurse told them that he can get discharged and left. Bailey also left due to some emergencies. As he lay down on the bed, looking through the ceiling. Daniel was trying his everything to be fine.

But deep down inside Daniel knew to himself. 

He wasn't fine at all.
