I Swear It All Over Again (Book 1)

Chapter 1

"Tell me what's wrong." My dad demanded as he closes the bedroom door and my mom stands by the bed, back facing my dad as he walks over to her. "If your sad because I'm always leaving I'll stop being. . ." He pauses as he hears a soft cry escape from her. "Why are you crying? Is it something that I did? Cause I'll fix it if it will make you happy."

"It's you and your job." My dad nods, putting his nose in her hair and nuzzling his head into her hair, trying to make her laugh, but fails.

"Did I do something wrong? I need to know why your so sad this is really worrying me more than anything. What did I do?" He inhales air as she let's out another cry.

"I want to get a divorce. . ." She pauses barely even starting when he unwraps his arms from around her.

"You don't have to do this," he pauses as she sits on a dark blue blanket, laying on a bed with white pillows, "What did I do to make you want to get a divorce?" He ask and she sucks in air as she looks down at her hands.

"Our daughter isn't safe with you around. I was put into danger because of your job. I don't want any of that to happen to our daughter-"

"She'll be fine, please don't do this to our family. I don't want to lose you. We finally have our happy family let's not do anything to mess that up." He begs sitting next to my mom.

"I'm not going to have our daughter be put into danger because of your job." She says. "And I know you can protect her as much as you would protect me, but what if something bad happens and we end up losing her. We could have lost her when Brent started hitting her."

"Let's not start to talk about Brent, okay? Are you sure you want to do this? What ever happened to the happy couple twenty something years ago? "

"I don't know, but we are getting a divorce we are doing this to keep our daughter safe."

~~Henry~~

My names Henry Hart and I'm thirteen years old and live in a town called Swellview. I have dirty blonde hair, chocolate like brown eyes and go to Swellview Junior High. I have two friends, Charlotte is a smart, sassy girl, strong, and independent. She is the voice of reason, who's always there to snap everyone back to reality. Charlotte has dark brown hair that's shoulder-length (when curly) and dark brown eyes.

Another friend of mine is, Jasper Dunlop. His hair is a raspberry blonde and he has blue eyes and is thirteen. He is loving and a very giving person, which makes him gullible. He is a bucket collector who often embarrasses Charlotte and I. He is a big fan of Captain Man, and thinks he'd be a better sidekick than Kid Danger.

My sister, Piper Hart is nine years old has long brownish-blonde hair and has blue eyes. Piper is a sassy, spunky, bratty, confident, temperamental girl, who knows exactly what she wants. When she's on social media she wants likes, follows, popularity, and most importantly, fast Wi-Fi. She claims that she hates her life, by saying she is not okay, which might have to do with that addiction to her phone she has. She seems to have no problem with breaking the rules, as it happens for her when she flashes her fake ID and maxing out our parents credit card. Lastly she sadly has a huge crush on Kid Danger.

My boss at Junk N Stuff, Ray Manchester is immature, yet sarcastic, witty, and funny. He has a fun spirit. He also has a big ego and is romantic. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes, and is almost thirty-four years old. When Ray was eight he accidentally skated towards his father's indestructible machine, pushing the lever in the process and gaining the power of indestructibility. Now, Ray fights crime and is the only superhero in Swellview.

Let me explain how I got my job at Junk N Stuff and what I do.

I walked into the store Junk N Stuff and was quickly greeted by a lot of junk and stuff. As I glance around I notice there was a fire breathing dinosaur hanging on the wall. I don't even know how to describe this place, there's extremely strange things everywhere. I walk over to a man behind the counter, sucking in air. "My names Henry Hart, I'm here for the job."
