Chapter One: Parents

Every night, Hermione could not sleep. She would shiver with fear under her blankets until he comes. She would scream but no one would hear. Then, she would just cry herself to sleep.

During the past summer, apparently, her mother had gotten a divorce. Together with that, both of her parents had already found a new partner. The night on Christmas Eve, that same year, her parents finally broke the news of their separation. Hermione could not have been angrier because of the lies they told her to cover it up. But at the same time, she was saddened by the fact that her family would not be the same again. She remembered that night well.

Flashback

"Hermione, dear, come here and sit with us please," mom called after me as soon as I finished washing the dishes. I could tell that by the tone of her voice this was not going to be pleasant.

Quickly, I went to the living and sat opposite them. Dad was looking down and playing with his fingers. Mom, as usual, was looking concern. I could now definitely tell something was up. But did not quite figure out what.

It was quiet too long. And the silence felt odd.

"Ok Mom, Dad. I'm here now. Is something the matter that needed to be discussed?"

"Listen, dear, please don't take what we're about to tell too hard," dad held my hand and continued. I nod my head in agreement.

"Your mom and I, have been thinking that it was about time to tell you that we, that we,"

"are separating," mom finished off the sentence.

It totally knocked me off my feet. Definitely not in a good way. I was shocked. Many questions were running through my head. Suddenly, tears were glazing my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hermione, that we didn't tell you sooner. We just, just couldn't. We didn't want to hurt you," mom started murmuring.

I pulled back my hands from them and hugged myself. I could not take it any longer. Tears were flooding my cheeks.

"Both of us thought you wouldn't understand this decision, cause we thought you're still quite young,"

"I'm still young?! Damn, Mom! Look at me I'm old enough already. I'm 17. Or were you two just busy quarreling, and couldn't even see you only daughter growing up in front of your eyes," I was furious. I could feel my face becoming redder and hotter.

"Now don't forget who you're talking to, young lady," I was interrupted by my father.

"I haven't finished,"

"Now, look at your actions. It's not behaving maturely. That's why we assumed-,"

"Don't just assume, father. And I haven't finished. I know I'm old enough to understand this matter. Plus, all the LIES and performance put up in front of me. JUST to cover it up because YOU didn't have the guts to tell me!"

Tears were pouring again as I spoke.

"How could you!"

"Hermione,"

Before they could say anything more, I ran up to my room. And cried myself to sleep.

End Flashback

Now, Hermione could not even say Mom, or Dad. Two people who you trust the most, created lies right in front of you. Now she, hated those two people the most.

Her parents.
