A/N: Hello again! My apologies for the lack of an update, but with being behind on a lot of other things, it's hard to update, like I used to. To be honest, I don't know when or if I'll be able to update, like I used to… Well, I don't think there's much else for me to say. I guess we should get this chapter rolling!

Chapter 12: Midnight Thoughts

Kevin's PoV:

The movie is almost finished, and Marv is snoring away in the bed beside me. By now, I'm curled up in the bed on the floor, looking up at half of the TV screen. Since Marv's bed is in the way, I can't get a full view of the screen. I don't really care, though; I'm pretty tired, and I want to go to sleep. Besides, I've already seen this movie before.

I start to nod off, but then, I realize I have to use the washroom. Not wanting to wake up Marv, I slowly climb out of my bed on the floor. I stand up and stretch, feeling tired, and wishing I could just go to sleep right now. Despite being a little scared right now, I'm surprised I even want to sleep.

I make my way to the bathroom, closing the door behind me, and turning on the light. The brightness hurts my eyes, but I don't want the light to wake up Marv. I go about my business, thinking of an idea to get Marv to change his mind.

I don't want to be stuck here forever! I have a life ahead of me: friends, school, being a nine-year-old, but, most of all, my family. My family is what's really pushing my wanting to escape. I just have to find a way to do it…

After I finish my business and wash my hands, I leave the bathroom. Finally shutting off the light, is a relief to my eyes. Marv is still snoring away on his bed. I look at the bedroom door, trying to think of an idea. Of course, my ideas aren't really anything different from last year's violence… I'd hate to do that again, but if it ever came down to it, I might have to again.

I look back at Marv and ask myself, "Then again, what is stopping me?"

That's when I try the bedroom doorknob, seeing that it works. A ball drops in my stomach, because I feel nervous about doing this, all of a sudden. I look back at Marv, seeing that he's still asleep. If he catches me in the act, what's going to happen? I don't know, but I certainly don't want to be kept here, by someone who thinks he's my Father…

To be Continued…

…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! I'm sorry it's not very long (especially since the last Kevin's PoV was MUCH longer)! Though, I'm hoping it's OK, considering how it's been a bit, since I've updated! What do you think will happen? Is Kevin going to try last year's antics again? I guess we're just going to have to see… I don't know when I'll be updating again, but, for now, ciao! :D
