"Isn't there something you might want to tell us?" Maddie practically growled, trying her best to keep smiling. "I'm sorry citizens! I have no idea what you are talking about!" I said, panic on my face. I realize now that that fear was more than placed. "it's okay Danny, they know." Jazz said./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" Turned out, it was everything except okay. I have wounds and cuts and bruises all over my body, from their stupid experiments and father's belt. At the moment, I'm in my room, crying from pain, while the others are asleep, I can't run away, because I'm cuffed to my bed, with ecto- handcuffs, so I can't turn intangible and escape. Why did I have to safe the world again? Yesterday me and Jazz went shopping, because I didn't like my clothing anymore, they were to happy, and that's the opposite of how I'm feeling right now. After we came back, I got beaten by my mum because she had saw on the cams in my room that I was crying and she said that was something only girls and weak people, but most of all HUMANS. Now I'm crying silently, so you wouldn't see it on cams. I noticed that the sun was starting to rise, so that would mean my parents would come and wake me in an hour or so. When they came to wake me up, I had fallen asleep, which caused my father to get his belt and beat me awake. When I was awake they left saying I had half an hour to get fully clothed and had eaten before going to school, 'as if I'm hungry right now' I thought. I walked to my closet to see all of my new clothes waiting for me. I pulled on a black skinny jeans, with a black t-shirt, a leather jacket, black leather gloves without fingers and black boots with spikes on them. 'now I look like the male version of Sam' I thought. "strongDaniel times up you dirty piece of ghost scum!"/strong I heard my mum yelling. "comin'! " I yelled back. When I was downstairs however, my mum looked at me and said something nice for the first time in 3 weeks. "strongI like you're outfit Daniel, it Suits you/strong" almost nice than, " it strongrepresents just how useless you are/strong" she said with a smile. Oh man I hated the woman. "udon't ignore you're mother you dirty scumbag!"/u Jack yelled at me. "thanks mum" I mumbled. After that I left, without even saying goodbye. When I arrived at school, I looked down, causing people to think I was new, because they didn't recognize me. Even Sam and Tucker didn't. "emhey Tuck, did lancer mention something about a new kid?"/em strongem"no he didn't/em/strong" "guys its me, Danny" "strongemDanny?! When did Sam's sense of style become contagious?" /em/strong"emI don't think it's that Tucker/em." Sam said while rolling her eyes " emDan, you okay/em?" I finally looked up at them. Sam gasped and Tucker fell (literally) off his chair. "emDanny what happened?! Why do you have a black eye?! Why- wait is that the print of a belt?!"/em " no it isn't!" I answered way to quickly to be believable I realised to late "emyes it is Danny! Who would do that to you!"/em " no one!" em" yes someone obviously does!-/em" "fuck off Sam!" I yelled as I turned and left. People stared at us. We never fought, and of course I never yelled at them to fuck off, and now I suddenly did, wearing full black and face completely bruised, and eyes in toxic green. I noticed people talking and whispering and staring and it annoyed me so badly. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" I yelled, charging an ecto blast in my fist without even noticing. People saw and quickly ran away. I sighed as I saw that Mr. Lancer came up to me and told me to follow him to his office. "I have informed your parents of your behaviour and told him that you are suspended for the of the day, they come and get you in 2minutes, am I clear?" "yes Mr. Lancer" they arrived short after that, said nothing and pulled me home. When we were home, my mum started yelling at me about what a big disappointment I am and how she wished I was more like Jazz. I didn't know what to say to that, and when Jack noticed I didn't answer her immediately, he walked over to me and grabbed the collar of my shirt and lifted me 3f off the ground and threw me to the other part of the room. "uhow many times do I have to tell you to answer your mother you you useless piece of shit!/u" Jack growled while he kicked me in the ribs. "I'm sorry" I growled in pain. "strongyour father and I decided that we don't want too see you as much anymore, so from this day for you are not allowed to be in this house between 10am and 6pm. DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND?!" /strong"yes mum" I noticed that it was 10:28 am, So I left. I didn't know where to go, and I couldn't risk Lancer seeing me anywhere either so I went to that one place in Amity park where parents warned their kids about, the so- called drugs alleys. I walked to some pub that obviously wasn't the most charming. When I entered I saw people doing drugs, drinking alcohol and looking at me when I entered. Someone suddenly yelled "strongoy! That's the Phantom boy!"/strong "emwe saw that Philip. aren't you a bit to young and a bit to good to come to a place like this boy?" /emthe ward asked me em" /emI heard you served alcohol to minors" "emI do, are you going to arrest me for it, boy?" /em"do you have vodka?" the ward looked at me like I slapped him "I mean it im thirsty and I don't have the whole day, and no I'm not to good for it, this town can fuck off, so phantom doesn't exist anymore" now the ward shrugged at him and said: "emsure thing buddy, vodka you said? Do you want some cocaine with that?" /emhe joked. "you know what? Yes." Everybody in the room looked at me like I stood there in a tutu. " I mean it" is growled angrily. "emsure thing, boy"/em when I left at 5pm (yes I was there that long) I started walking to Sam's forgetting that I was angry at her.i was high af, and super drunk to. I changed to my ghost self, turned invisible and intangible and went to Sam's room. When I arrived there, I saw she was crying. I changed back to human form and sat next to her. "what's wrong, beautiful?" "emare you drunk?" /em"only in the ways that matter" I shrugged. "emDanny? Are you,… are you stoned?!" /emshe yelled loudly at me. "sshhhhh!" I sissed, I didn't want her parents to call mine. I put my hand on her mouth so she would keep silent "you don't want you parents to call mine right, beautiful?" I stood up and left. It was almost 6i walked home, hoping my breath didn't smell to much like alcohol and drugs. Not that I really cared. When I arrived they already waited for me at the kitchen table. "strongDanny? We got a call from your friend, Samantha, saying you were drunk and she also thought you were more than high. Care to explain?"/strong my mum hissed at me " whatever lady! Get out of my goddamned way" is scoldedspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanat her, she looked at me in surprise, even my father didn't start to beat me and they let me trough. I walked upstairs and fell into my bed, sleep immediately taking over. The next morning I was woken up by Jazz instead of fathers belt. "Danny! Get your stoned ass out of bed!" I sighed and got up. The lack of drugs in my body was unbearable. The fact that I was addicted after one time isn't good. I was lucky I bought some for the ward, which meant I had still some for today, but it also meant I had to go get new this evening. I pulled on the same outfit as yesterday and was out in 5 minutes. I wanted to get cigarettes first, another recent addiction. When I arrived at school everyone looked at me when I lit up a cigarette, it took away the feeling of the missing drugs. I shrugged when Lancer came up to me and yelled at me that it wasn't allowed to smoke in school, but shrugged and said: "I'm not inside yet." Lancer looked at me furiously but left without another word. I couldn't remember much of yesterday, but I knew I had stood before Sam's door and after that nothing but that he wasn't beaten by his parents yesterday evening. I walked to Sam and Tucker and wanted to apologise for yesterday morning, when Sam looked at me furiously and said: em" oh look stoner is at school!/em" "how do you know I was stoned yesterday?" " emyou don't remember? You came to my house yesterday, higher than the burj khalifa , and more drunk than the hulk tall!" /em"I wasn't that high Sam" I said pulling a joint out of my pocket. "emis that a joint?!" /em"If I say no are you going to believe me?" "emno/em" "well than yes" I shrugged. I didn't have time for this, so I turned around and walked away, I didn't even bother putting ou the joint when walking inside. "strongyo fen-Turd! Ready for a beat up?" /strong"Dash don't even bother trying" I sighed as he tried to punch me, I turned intangiblespan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanand walked trough him, turned tangible again and pushed him in my locker, and after that I pushed my joint out on his arm, this leaving him like a crying mess in my locker which, caused me to be expelled for the rest of the week. It was 11:00 so I couldn't go home. I decided to go to the pub I went to yesterday, because I wanted some vodka and fast. After a few hours, I was (again) super drunk and high. And late, it was 8pm and I needed to be home at 6. Oh man I bet the belt is already ready to beat the shit outta me. However when I came home, they sat again, calmly at the kitchen table, only this time there were papers spread all over the table. "uDanny it's time we tell you something/u" Jack began "usomething we should have told you sooner/u" "what is it Jack?" I asked. He didn't even bother I didn't call him dad "strongdanny we… kindoff… subadopted /subyou?"/strong "you did what I didn't hear you?" "uyou are adopted brat!/u" Jack yelled. "I'm what? How could you never tell me this?! Who are my real parents than?!" I yelled at them, how could they not tell this to me?! "unobody knows who your dad is"/u Jack said, calm again. "and my mum?" I growled "strongin prison/strong" "yeah but you know who she is right?! Who is she?!" "strongyes is know who it is"/strong/span/p
