JUNIOR'S POV:

   It's been a week since my parents separated, we moved to a new house in Yoyel City, across town. Just close enough to the HPRC in case of emergency. Needle would visit mom a lot to comfort her, I could tell mom was in deep thought about her decision. "Leafy you did the right thing," Needle was sitting with mom on the couch.

   "I know. But, what if Firey would've changed, maybe he could change." Leafy covered her face, I felt bad hearing her sobs. I went to the kitchen and dug through the fridge, there they are. I had a collection of yoyel berries, quickly I ate three and turned into metal. 

   I ran back into the front room of the house to see Needle still trying to comfort mom, I went in to give mom a hug. "Oh-" mom looked down to see me looking back at her. I kept looking at her face, my abusive father hurt mom so much, her eye was still swollen from that day.

   "Mom, your eye, it still looks like it hurts, does it?" Mom's eyes widened, she was quiet for a while.

   "... Don't worry about junior." She responded, and left the room. I was surprised, I looked at Needle, she looked concerned and was also surprised that mom didn't say anything else. 

   "Oh dear..." Needle and I sat on the couch, "Just let her take her time, she's just really stressed is all Junior."


LEAFY'S POV:

   ACK! My head hurts so much, when Junior asked about my eye, everything just started to flood on my emotions. I left the front room telling Junior to not worry about me and ran to my room. My chest hurts, tears ran down my eyes, and everything suddenly went black. 

*Flash back still in Leafy's pov*

   "Thanks for inviting me for game night Leafy. Pencil won't let me and Book go to her party." Ice Cube walked to the kitchen, Book and Needle with her. 

   It was game night, my family has these events once every month. Today we invited more people, for Firey Jr.'s birthday was on this game night. I was so happy my little boy is growing up so fast, seven years. Seven years since...

  "Leafy! Get in the kitchen and start making the dinner already!" My husband yelled from the living room. I jumped from the sudden yell. 

   "But I already, made dinner. It's on the counter top." I said back.

   "Not the visitor's dinner you pathetic leaf, mine!" Oh right, Firey always has me make him a different meal than me and Junior's. I guess I'll have to get started on Firey's dinner.

(Author's note: I don't know what food Leafy would make for Firey, so it's just gonna be called a food. HHHH)

   I finished the food and went into the living room, where everyone else was waiting, "Well, what are you waiting for? I'm hungry!" Firey yelled.

   "Well maybe you should have eaten the dinner I made earlier for our guest instead of being a selfish asshole." I mumbled, but he still heard me.

   "WHAT WAS THAT?!" he screamed,throwing his glass cup on the floor. Book and Ice Cube were startled, I was too.

   "N- nothing!" I said back, I didn't want to start anything while we had guest. Junior and Bomby were in the other room playing board games and I heard their laughter stop when Firey yelled. Now they were peeking over to see what was going on.

   I sighed and decided to just give Firey his dinner and move on with the game night. Except that's what I wanted to do, instead as I was walking, I tripped and dropped the plate of food near Firey's feet.

   "ACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TRYING TO KILL ME!?" He screamed, I picked myself up to see his enraged face. "IF THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE, SO BE IT!"

   I was grabbed by Firey, and he put my arm right into his body, I screamed in pain, it burned so much. Everyone tried to help me, but they couldn't as they were too afraid to be burned by him. Firey dragged me to the kitchen and grabbed the cook book Pin gave me for Christmas, then he slammed it on my head. My vision blurred, and everything sounded muffled, I only heard people screaming and saw a blurred figure of Needle run towards Firey as I then blacked out.  Was I gonna be okay? Is my son okay? What has Firey done? What have I done?


(Oh shoot, Leafy said the A word! How dare you! Also wow small violence in this chapter. :0)
