Lawli: Jumping back to B's early childhood yet again! It's just so fun... And I think this chapter especially is relateable. I mean, I know I've done this before. I really think we all have - or at least, we've all wanted to at some point. lol ;P
90 – Home.
A few months after he turns five, Beyond Birthday runs away from home because his mother tried to ground him for accidentally breaking the expensive vase in the living room. The screen door of the patio slams shut behind him and his feet fall heavily on the pavement as he races down the driveway.
"Beyond, get back here!" his mother is screaming.
Beyond stops on the sidewalk for the briefest of moments, yells, "I'm never coming back!" and then resumes running, occasionally glancing over to see if she is following him like he secretly wants her to; she isn't.
An hour and a half later Beyond is knocking on the front door, his eyes wet with tears and his teeth worrying his bottom lip as his tummy grumbles for a snack. His mother answers the door, her severe expression melting away as she notices the tears. Smiling, she wraps her arms around him and kisses him on the cheek.
"Welcome home."
