He couldn't take it anymore. Everyday when he woke up, when he left the house, when he came back home and when he went to sleep. They were always there, talking about him behind his back, how they wanted to tear him apart. How he didn't deserve to exist. But they didn't know. They didn't know that all this time, it was him, their own son, that they were talking about. They didn't know, but they needed to. He couldn't stand this anymore.

Today when he got home, Danny was ready to just head straight up to his room and avoid them. To avoid his parents. But they heard him come in, and went up to greet him. First his mother welcomed him home, that was nice.

He wished that it could stay like that, but it couldn't. After that short moment passed, his mother stepped to the side, and his father skipped up to him.

He had a huge grin on his face. Oh, that stupid grin. That was the grin that he always wore whenever he talked about ghosts. About ripping ghosts apart. About ripping his own son apart. But he hadn't done anything wrong. He didn't know.

He showed Danny his newest invention. It would be able to tear ghosts apart like nothing else, he said. But Danny didn't listen. He started to tear up. He could feel the tears in his eyes, they blurred his vision,

Then his parents noticed. They saw the tears in his eyes, that to them came out of nowhere. His father placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, and his mother asked, in her sweet motherly voice: "Sweetie, are you okay?". Those words, they should have made him feel better, but they didn't.

Those words felt wrong. They were just talking about him, the other him. About how much they hated him. And now they were trying to comfort him.

Danny tried talking back, but he couldn't say anything. He didn't get a single sound out. He was going to tell them, he was sure just a few minutes ago. But now.. He didn't want to anymore. He just wanted to run away.

So he did.

He turned around, and threw his bag to the side. He ran for the door, and one word got out just before he reached it: "no" he said, before he phased through the door.

He ran down the street, now the tears were running freely down his face, and he didn't look back. He could hear his parents at the door far behind him. He just wanted to get away, and without really noticing started to half-run and half-fly down the road.

After a few seconds that felt like forever, he turned around into an alley and stopped. He hid in a corner where he wouldn't be seen.

This is bad he thought to himself as he sat there alone. He curled up and hugged his knees, and he hid his face in his arms. He could feel a few drops of rain dripping on the back of his head. He could hear his parents getting close to the alley he was in.

"Please don't let them find me" he begged quietly to himself. He held back the tears, and just waited. What do I do now? I can't stay here forever! Should I go to Sam or Tucker? Should I go to Vlad? Should I try to go back home? He thought about all his options, but for some reason he couldn't get himself to decide on any of them.

He didn't want to bother his friends, they shouldn't have to go through the trouble of having to hide him from his own family. He couldn't go to Vlad either, Vlad was still his enemy after all. Could he go home?

After everything that has happened today… Could he go home?

His parents came into the alley. When he saw the looks on their faces he got even sadder. They were sad, and wanted nothing other than to find him and comfort him.

He sat there for a while. He watched as his parents came closer, all the while screaming his name. He could hear the sadness in their voices.

Now they were very close to him. Danny had turned invisible as soon as he saw his parents without thinking about it, so even though they were close, they couldn't see him.

He had to decide now. Was he going to trust that his parents accept him, or should he run away and try to make it on his own?

He had to make a decision sometime, and that time was now.

Slowly, he stood up. His mom, who was standing the closest to him noticed him immediately when he dropped the invisibility and came out of the shadows.

He slowly looked up at her, the tears threatening to spill any second.

He had made his decision now.

There! Hehe, I feel evil for ending it there :) At first I was intending to make this a one-shot. But as I kept writing, I couldn't decide what to do. Soooo I'm not sure yet how this is going to end. I'm still debating about how I should end this story, but I've got a pretty good idea what I should do. But if you want to tell me what kind of ending you'd prefer, that would help me make you happy.. so please don't kill me if you don't like the ending. Tell me in a review, or PM me if you feel like it, and tell me if you want a happy or sad ending.

Bye :)
