-Day 1-

~Kaidens P.O.V~

I lay in my room listening to nothing but the pitter patter of rain on my window, and the screaming match between my parents, no matter what good happens during the day, the night time seems to bring out the worst in them.

I try so hard to ignore it but its hard when their arguments could turn to one leaving the other. You see my moms a drinker who does nothing all day but lay down with a half full bottle of whiskey. my dad is fed up.

at this point their marriage is just going south, just like my grades. my attendance sucks and whenever i do decide to show up i end up leaving during transitioning times while the halls are full.

i just cant seem to concentrate. i have a few friends but i barely talk to them since they always brag about their luxurious life and how during spring break they went on vacation to some exotic island.

the only time i have ever traveled was to go to Florida for a funeral. and even then i couldnt go anywhere since i had to be cooped up in the house with my fake crying family. lets face it they were only in it to find out who got what on the will.

-Next Morning-

I dont know how but i ended up getting a good 10 hour sleep. forthe first time in months. i sat up in bed and saw a note on a suit case in my doorway. i walked over and read it.

Pack up all your necessities, we leave at 10 o' clock tonight when i get home, feel free to say goodbye to your friends and your mother (if you can find her)

-Dad.

i stood staring blankly at the note, i knew this day would come but the reality of it all just hit me like a ton of bricks. this made my stomach turn and any appetite i had was completely gone. i wasnt about to object. and i didnt even know where we would
/go, but my dad always had it handled i guess.

9:30 pm

i had finished packing up my clothes and other necessities. i had showered and thrown on my Baby Blue hoodie, light washed ripped jeans, and black & white vans. Then i took out my phone and added my friends into a group chat,

Kaiden✨- Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that im officially not going to be at school because my dad finally decided to leave and take me with him.

i immediately got replys back saying they didnt want me to go or they'd miss me.

10:00 pm

right as the clock struck 10 i took one last look at my childhood room. the room i had hidden in when i was playing hide & seek with my loving parents. but now that im 17 years old i find myself having to leave not only the room, the house, the friends,
/but the mother who raised me.

i put on a brave face because i had never cried in front of my parents after the age of 5 because i wanted to be a brave warrior like the ones i had seen in disney movies.

I shut offthe light and went downstairs to the front door.

Dad- Im outside.

i got the notification and went outside after leaving a note saying goodbye and i love you to my mom.

i loaded up the trunk with my bags and hopped in the front seat.
