Fear bloomed inside my chest like an icy flower. Talks weren’t exactly talks in this house; they normally ended with bruises and black eyes. I didn’t move besides the small action of pulling my mum behind me. Don’t touch her. Punish me. Just don’t touch her. I pleaded with my eyes that were so much like mothers, hoping that he’d see reason. His eyes narrowed and we held each other’s gaze, one pleading and the other’s cold and unforgiving. ~o~O~o~ I turned my head towards the side of the car, hoping to get a glimpse so that he could see the joy that was evident on face, “Dad, its beaut-“ A shattering crash broke through my words, sending my skin reeling in frightened surprise. Something impaled my throat. Then there was pain. ~o~O~o~ “What was she really like?” she enquired, blue eyes piercing my own, forcing me to look away. “She’s worse.” I felt myself pulled to her in a hug and I buried my face into her silky black hair. “She’s worse.” ~o~O~o~ Sky, Kat and Jasper. Three people with lives above the ordinary mark, but not a good ordinary. But it is their problems draw them together. After all, to this day, it still takes more than one to support the other.

PROLOGUE A small boy lies curled up in his bed, trying to hide himself. The screams and shouts of his parents echoed throughout the empty, cold house. A small toddler girl, snuggled in his arms, fusses in her sleep. A loud crash, followed by a cry of pain, makes the boy flinch and tear up. He pulls the baby girl close and covers his ears. 'Dad is hurting mom again' The boy cries softly, so as not to be heard, weeping at the unfairness of the world. Hours later, his bedroom door opens, and a soft hand touches his cheek. "Ian, my baby boy, I've got to go for a while, ok?" A woman's voice calls softly. The boy sits up, wiping his tears. "How long will you be gone?" The boy sniffles. "Mom is going to live with Uncle Sam for a while, just so she can make dad's company bigger. Make sure you take good care of Naomi. Don't forget to clean up after yourself, and get good grades in school." The boy's mother ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. "I love you buddy. I'll be back in a few years. I know that sounds like a long time but, I'll be back before you know it. I just have to make dad happy." The boy nods, refusing to cry. 'I have to protect Naomi. I'm alone now.' the boy thinks to himself, determined. His mother stands up and walks away, her feet softly padding down the hallway.
