Prologue: Never

*Jasper Pov*

I never asked for this.

I never asked to be beaten every time I made a mistake.

Never asked to be starved for not finishing my chores on time.

Never asked to be yelled at when I am late home from school.

Never asked for an abusive dad at all.

But I got one, and everything happens.

But I guess everything happens for a reason right?

I guess I deserved the beating I got when I accidentally broke his lamp.

And I kinda did deserve missing dinner when I refused to clean my room.

I expected the yelling when I got detention.

So I guess I deserved them.

But I didn't know what I did to have this happen.

Why did he lock me out in the rain? What did I do?

I unlocked to door and went inside, glad I have my key, though he doesn't know I have one.

I noticed the house was dark... where is dad?

Then I saw it.

A card.

So small I almost didn't see it. I picked it up and saw it was a card belonging to Charlie Swan.

The Chief Of Police.
