Dib's POV

One of my most vivid memories as a little kid was when my mother had left me and my family behind. I remember crying so hard when she hugged both me and my sister and promised she'd never let herself forget us. My dad ran after her and chased her car until he couldn't run anymore and collapsed on the pavement. I watched as I seen him cry for the first time as he screamed and cursed for what seemed like hours. After a while he got to his feet and walked us both into the house.

"Where's mommy?" I asked him with tears in my and looked at my sister who was trying not to cry.

"When is she coming back home?"

My dad paused and turned to me with tear filled eyes. "Your mother is no longer going to be around any more." He managed to choke out in between sobs. "She left us because she does not love me any more."

"But, I thought you and mommy were in love." My dad then looked at me straight in the eye and said the thing I will never forget "Son," he said firmly "there is no such thing as love"

At that moment I promised my self that I would never beleive in love, I would never set my self up to break my own heart like my father did, I would never get married or have kids, and I would never let my self fall in love because love did not exist
