Ugh. Why do you have to wake up so early? It's a Saturday, and you shouldn't have to deal with all this stuff. "(Y/n)!", your father called, "Wake up or I'm going to eat all of your breakfast!" No. You remember your mother promising she would make waffles,
so you did not take your fathers joke kindly. "Coming!" You yelled, because you could hear your father already running downstairs.

You throw on some clothes, as fast as you can and run downstairs. Your father stands jokingly with the waffle in his hands. "Hey!" You say as you jump for your father, roaring like a tiger. He drops the waffle on a plate and smothers
you in a hug as you land on him. "Owwwwww... (Y/N)! I wasn't going to actually eat it!" your father complained. "Hey, no messing around. We have to be at my sister's house soon Harold. " Your mother snapped. "Yes honey." My father replied in
a disappointed tone. You give him an apologetic look, because you knew your stepmother could be strict with your father. "And (Y/n). Change your clothes, you don't look presentable."

You looked down at yourself, and you thought you looked perfectly fine with your black hoodie and jeans. "Nah." You retorted. This was your style, and you didn't want to change to the pink skirt and sparkly shirt your stepmother had bought
for you. She gave you a death stare. Normally she would yell at you, but since your father was there, she couldn't do a thing. It was strange how your father and your stepmother were married, since your father acted like a silly child, and your stepmom
was a strict bitc- woman.

You looked at the clock, shit, it was time to head to your job. You worked at the jewelry store which was about a 15 minute drive away. You were supposed to go to your step aunts house with your family, but you volunteered for some extra
work that day so you didn't have to go. The last time you went, all you and your father did was try not to fall asleep while the two sisters argued over stupid gossip. They did agree on one thing though, and that was that all monsters were terrible.

They just went on and on about how monsters just invaded this world and that no one liked them. Personally you thought they were nice, because a pair of monster guards ran the shop you worked at. They paid you well, but that's as well as
working as a jewelry polisher could get you. They were the first monsters you had gotten to know on a deep level. They were more your friends than your bosses.

All the other monsters you have seen have just been living life, walking on the sidewalk, buying groceries, and trying to fit in with all the humans. And when you tried to argue with the sisters they screamed for proof, and even when you
told them about the guards they did not believe me. Huh, where was their proof that all monsters was bad? You should have said that.
Too late now, you think. When you check the clock, you realize it's time to head to work. "Goodbye Dad! Love you! Bye Linda." You say. "Oh don't think your getting away with out a hug!" He says as he walks towards you. You both embrace. "Love
you Chicken." You groan sarcastically and let go. Chicken was the nickname your father gave you when you were a little kid because you got chased around by a chicken. It was quite embarrassing. "I'll text you when I'm heading home, ok?" You
tell your father. "Alright! You be good!" Your father replies. You get into your car, and begin driving to work.

(Timeskip)

You arrive at your work a tad late. Oh well, Dad's hugs are worth being two minutes late. You think as you push open the door. "Welcome (Y/N)!" said the first guard. The second guard nodded in your direction with a small grunt of hello.
The first guard put the necklace he was working on on the table, and walked over to show you what you would be working on today. "I actually have a story to tell you, (Y/n). It involves some people who came in here yesterday just after you left."
Guard 1 exclaimed. "A couple came in here interested in our most valuable necklace." "Woah! Did they buy it?!" You reply excitedly. When they sell a particularly expensive piece of jewelry you always received a little bonus. "They did not actually.
When I walked out of the back room to see them, they just dropped the necklace on the counter and glared at me. Then they left! I think they might have been monster haters..." He said sadly. Most people really like monsters, or at least aren't mean
to them. But some people were just completely disgusted by monsters, just like my stepmother. "Awe that's a bummer." You said with an sympathetic pat on the back for the guard. "On the bright side however, that was the only bad thing!" You smiled
widely in response. You liked these two guards so much, they were just so bubbly and positive.

The phone rings in the back room, and Guard 2 walks to take the call. You and Guard 1 exchange some more conversation, about how a Froggit came in and bought all of their frog charms and other idle chatter.
Suddenly Guard 2 throws the back room door open and runs over to you. He is shaking. A phone sits in his right hand, and he reaches out to give it to you. "For you." He said in a terrified voice, a tone that you had never heard him use. You
take the phone from him, and Guard 1 stands up and tries to comfort him. You hold the phone up to your ear and say, "hello? Who is this?" "Hello." Said a man with a deep voice on the other end. "Are you (Y/n) (L/n)? This is an emergency." A cold stab
of fear passes through your heart. "Y-yes this is (Y/n)." You say with a stuttering voice. Your mind ran so many possibilities of what could have happened and who was this and why they were calling you. "I have terrible news. Your father and mother
were involved in a horrible house fire. Your stepmother did not survive. Her body was found near the stove, which we believe was the cause of the accident. Your fathers arm was found in the living room, and he is presumed dead. I am very sorry."

You drop the phone, and it smashes against the floor. But you don't care.

You feel numb.

Nothing matters.

Why? How could this happen? Dad? DAD?! You think. Little did you realize you were kneeling on the floor screaming that.

How... No... No no no...
