Thought I start a new story. Review if you think I should continue this story or if I just need to improve this chapter in some way.


Prologue

It's two days before your 16th birthday, and you are sitting in front of your window staring out into the distance. You live in a boring neighborhood and live in a bad home environment.

"Another day in this boring run down house", you thought to yourself as you listen to the sound of your earbuds blasting out (y/f Death Note song), "I can still hear them yelling."

Hours passed and the yelling between your parents hasn't stopped, no matter how high you turn up the volume, you can still hear the yelling and screaming. It was getting late and you thought it was time to sleep. You got up from the window seal, locked your door, changed into the clothes you wear to sleep, and got in bed and tried to sleep with the noise of yelling coming from the other side of the door. You finally fell asleep and began dreaming of (y/f death note character).

It's the next day and you woke up to the light of the sun in your eyes. Now it's only one day left until your birthday. You get up and change out of your sleepwear and into your normal everyday life clothes. You only leave your room when you hear the silence of yelling which was a good time because you haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon. You sneak around the place looking for something to eat and try to be as quiet as possible, otherwise it would be bad news and the yelling would start again, but you'll be apart of it.

You hurry up and eat, and grab something to take to your room because you know you wouldn't be coming out of your room for a long time. "It's almost my birthday, but what's the point of celebrating it if my own parents won't even bother to care for their child", you whisper to yourself while you walk to your room. Tears have begun to show and start to roll down your cheeks. You hear footsteps coming from behind you, and start running to your room and quickly lock it before you can relax by the window seal. Your phone starts to ring after sitting in your room for a couple of hours.

You walk up to your phone and noticed that your best friend was calling. "Hey, (y/n), want to come and hang out? I know your birthday is tomorrow and I thought we would get you an early birthday present."

"Let me think about it…..sure, but I have to be back before my parents even notice that I sneaked out."

"Do you really need to sneak out? I mean, can't you just ask your parents to let you go some place…?"

"...Ummm…."

"Wait I shouldn't have said that. Sorry."

"No it's fine. Well I'll see you in a bit."

"Alright then. Let's meet in our usual spot."

"Ok." You hanged up, grabbed your jacket, phone, and wallet, and sneaked out your window - luckily it was big enough to get out from. After you step outside, you can hear the start of your parents fight again. You let out a sigh and left your window open just enough to let your fingers slip through. you quickly open the front gate and try to close it without making a sound. After being a few miles away from home, you put in your earbuds to ignore all the other noise.

You hurry to (y/f restaurant), the usual hangout, and meet up with your best friend. "Hey, (b/f name)! Ok i'm here, so what do you want to do?"

"Just follow me,...and would you take those earbuds out, you won't be needing those for where we will be going." You take out your earbuds and your best friend leads you out of the restaurant and begin to head off. You have finally reached to a place to where all kinds of parties can be held at. Your best friend leads you to a party room with all of your other friends and as soon as the lights go on, everyone jumped out and yelled, "SURPRISE, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!"

You stand there all surprised, looking around seeing the theme of the party, your most favorite series ever, Death Note. You join in on the party and you have a wonderful time, but your best friend says she also has something else in plan for you and her as a birthday present. Everyone else decided to give you their presents during the party since that is the only time they got to see you.

Two hours passed and the party was over. You wave goodbye to everyone else, but your best friend, since you got something else to do with them. They lead you to a store that's filled with Death Note and other anime stuff that you also like. "This my gift to you. Happy birthday (y/n)." You gave them a tight squeeze and looked around the store to buy a couple of anime stuff. You thanked them and began to put in your earbuds to ignore the other commotion, but before you put in the second earbud, your best friend says, "If you ever want to stay at my place, just give me a call and a bed will be set for you."

"I will and thanks for the party." You put in the earbud and headed home.

You sneak back in your room and quickly hide the gifts, that your friends gave you, before your mother could find them and destroy them. You finished hiding the stuff and then you hear a sudden banging on the door with a loud voice yelling, "(y/n) OPEN THIS DOOR NOW WE HAVE SOMETHING TO DISCUSS THIS INSTANCE!" You quickly take out your earbuds and hide them along with your iPod. You open the door and your mother comes in and starts to began talking.

"I want you to leave this house before the end of your birthday, which is tomorrow. If you're not out by then, then I have no choice but to get rid of you with my own hands along with your stuff." You began to argue with your mother and try to persuade her to let you stay until you finish high school.

*SMACK*

Your mother gave you a slap on your face and yelled, "YOU WILL BE LEAVING THIS HOUSE BY THE END OF TOMORROW OR I WILL END YOUR LIFE AND THAT'S FINAL!" Your mother leaves the room and slams the door behind her. You begin to grab boxes and start to fill them up and tape it close. Now you understand why your mother gave you boxes when you were 10 years old, she was planning to get rid of you when you turn 16. Tears start to roll down your cheeks. An hour passed and your room is now empty just only the mattress and the wardrobe remain.

You call your best friend and tell her the situation. Luckily they lived in an apartment for two. You send your stuff ahead of you so you can check what else that you need to take.

The room was cleared out, you grabbed your earbuds and iPod and put it in your pocket along with your phone. You left the room with tears in your eyes and your cheek stinging from the slap from your mom earlier. You began to enter the hallway, but before you could, everything turned black with the voice asking in your head, "Would you like to live in a world where everybody likes you and no one will hurt you?"
