( Y/N's p.o.v.)
A couple of days went by since I meant that demon and refusing his deal. I kept to my dad as much as i could, he wasn't a violent man by nature, but I felt safer around him then I did my mom. I loved my mom but....she seemed so angry now. I sat at the kitchen table, listening to my favorite band, Set it off, as I drew in my sketch book. I heard the front door open and my dad walked in.
" I'm back."
" Hi, Daddy."
He kissed my head with a smile.
" Where'd you go?"
" You're grandmother called me and said she made you something."
He handed me a bag, which I gladly took it.
" Go try it on."
I nodded, then went upstairs and walked into my room. I pulled the outfit out of the bag and put it on. I changed into the warm outfit and looked in the mirror.

I smiled at the outfit, more than happy with my gift.

Grandma, you're the best!

I went downstairs and showed my dad. He smiled at me sweetly.
" Well, look at you!"
My mom angrily grumbled, head buried in her book. I looked down at the floor, uncomfortable. My dad shook his head then turned to me.
" Come on, let's go outside."
I smiled at my dad and nodded. We put our gloves on and went outfit. Snow fell gently from the sky, a snowflake landing on my nose. Suddenly, I was hit with a snowball. I turned my head and saw my dad, holding a snowball in his hand with a smirk. I quickly made one of my own.
" Dad, you realize this means war."
Thus, our snowball fight began, I hid behind a tree and my dad took cover behind the car.
" Dad, I don't know how, but you cheat!!"
I heard him laugh.
" How can I cheat? It a snowball fight."
" Give me a sec and I'll figure it out."
We both shared a laugh, then my mom came out.
" Would you both be quiet!? I have a headache!"
I turned to my mom, her hair was messy and her had bags under her eyes. My dad came from out of his hiding spot and sighed.
" Alright."
She stomped back in and slammed the door. My dad shook his head.
" What's wrong with her?"
" Ever since we saw that thing in the woods...she gotten paranoid that it followed us."
I nodded, looking down.

It only they knew...

" Welp, let's go inside and make some hot chocolate."
Smiling, I nodded and we head inside, taking off our wet, snow covered boots. I sat at the table as my dad made the hot chocolate. My mom laid on the couch, a rug over her eyes, covered up with a blanket.
" Here,(Y/N)."
" Thanks dad."
He nods and sits at the table with me. We sat in silence, worried the littlest sound would set my mom off. My dad turned to me as I finished my drink.
" Why don't you go get some rest? I'm about to take a nap myself."
I nodded and went upstairs.
" I love you, dad."
" I love you too, (Y/N)."
I walked into my room and changed into some pajamas, throwing my wet outfit from the snow in the hamper. I laid down and covered up, snuggling into the warm blanket. Just as I was about to sleep, I heard that demon's chuckles. I hid under my blanket, covering my ears, trying to make myself fall asleep faster. As I fell asleep, the laugh slowly faded away.

By the time I woke up again, It was 8:35. I jumped as I heard my mom scream at my dad.
" THEN LEAVE ALREADY!!!"
I heard footsteps come to my room and dad walked in.
" Get dressed (Y/N) we're leaving."
I nodded as he left my room and I quickly got dressed. I packed my things and left with my dad. As we got in the car, my dad locked the car doors and left.
" Dad, what's going on?"
" This camping trip was a bad idea. Your mother has yelled at me for the last time over nothing."
I was quiet then looked out the window. As we drove, I saw a flash of red. I rubbed my eyes and saw nothing as I looked back. Sighing, I laid my head on the window.
" Get some sleep. It's going to be a long drive."
I nodded as I snuggled into my sweater. I closed my eyes and sighed.
I had a bad feeling in my gut, like something bad....really bad was going to happen. I just didn't know what. I opened my eyes and looked at my dad. He had a slap mark across his cheek, his eyes were blood shot, as if he had been crying, and he had a hurt look on his face.
" I love you dad."
I watched as he smiled sadly.
" I'm glad that someone does."

I looked out the window as we drove by the woods and trees. I looked down at my feet and sighed.
" (Y/N)?"
" Yeah, dad?"
" You listen to me, I don't know if you're thinking this, but none of what's happening is your fault."
I looked down at my hands.
" What happens now?"
He took in a breath.
" We're going home, packing our things, and going to your grandparents' for a while. Then I'm going to call my lawyer and get this divorce finalized."
I nodded and looked out the window.
A tear rolled down my cheek as I tried my best to keep my breathes steady.

So much for a big happy family....
