"Felix, I'm really sorry." Sheba muttered as we walked up to our house door. I chuckles and give her a closed eyed smile. "Sheba, it's fine, let's just get inside." Sheba nodded slightly and opened the door with her key. We both enter.

Oswald's POV

"Bye Oswald!" My friends yell walking down the opposite street. "Bye." I mumbled while shoving my hands into my pockets. I slowly started to to make my way home. Mickey probably already got home before me since hes only got a half day in school now, smart ass. As got to the house I immediately realized something and pulled out my phone.

5:29

My held my breath as I slowly opened the door and looked inside. I didnt see my dad... yet. I slowly stepped inside and closed the door. "Oswald." Fear filled me as I slowly turned around to see my dad. He was holding a belt as he gave a narrowed glare. "I told you to come home right after school, you get out of school at 2:00." As he stepped forward I quickly turned all the way to him. "D-dad, I was d-doing extra w-work at school t-to pull up my gra- AGH!!" My dad swung the buckle of the belt at me, hitting me right in the face. I fell back against the door while holding my bruised face as it leaked with blood. "DONT LIE TO ME OSWALD, YOU POSTED A PHOTO OF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS EARLIER!!" Dad swung again, this time hitting me in my back which made me fall on my knees. "S-stop dad, I'm sorry!"

He didn't.

He started to repeatedly hit me with it.

He even started to kick me as well.

"DAD STOP!!" Mickey cried running up and grabbing our dad's arm. Deja vu... all over again. I slowly started to stand up while looking at my dad. Even while catching his breath, he gave a full hated glare. "You're just a piece of shit, a failure, why can you be more like your brother?! He hangs out with the right people, he gets straight A's, he's going to be going places while YOU WONT-

"IM NOT HIM... IM OSWALD, NOT MICKEY!!" I yelled as my voice cracked. Mickey looked at me in shock and worry. I felt pitiful. 'I dont wanna stay here.' I quickly turned away, opened the door and walked out.

No one's POV

Oswald walked down the street. It slowly started to become windy and cold. But Oswald was used to it... it wasnt the first time this has happened. He felt hopeless. 'Nothing's going to change Oswald... this will always keep happening since you're a complete failure.' He thought. Oswald got to the village's bridge and stood on it. He glances off the edge to see the waves of water splashed and crashed together since the wind got stronger. That's when a unbelievable thought crossed his mind for the first time.

What would happen if he jumped?

The pros and cons started to fill his head.

No more suffering

No more nights for having to cry himself to sleep

Maybe he could even make it look like an murder, that way no one would know he jumped willingly.

But then... there was 3 problems. He would be leaving behind Mickey to suffer... someone from his school would probably see this and everyone would know he would he committed suicide... or the police would probably find out he did it anyways. Oswald immediately shook his head. 'Why does it matter if anyone finds out you jumped?!' Oswald thought grabbing his floppy ears and yanking at them. He then realized why. His whole life, he's lived by everyone's rules, he was scared to be judge... even now he was still scared of how people thought of him. 'No... not anymore.' Oswald slowly climbed on to the rail, the wind hitting his face. 'I'm sorry Mickey.' Oswald leaned forward and fell. It was only short fall because some had grabbed his hand right before he got that far. Oswald immediately looked up to see a familiar face.

Felix the cat.
