Gwen sat perched on a limb of her favorite tree with her book in her hands; she had just started reading the hunger games. She did this everyday just go to the park and read. Sometimes though she would watch as the little children played with their parents, she always wanted that. A mom and a dad, but she knew her dad died when she was little, that's what her mother told her anyway.

Her mother Sarah and she didn't always have a good relationship, Sarah used to be a raging alcoholic, until she turned 27 and hit Gwen, she handed Gwen off to her friend and went to rehab for months, until she thought she was better. When she came back Gwen was happy but scared that her mother was coming back, but their relationship changed, her mother started hanging out with her more, and talking to her more.

Gwen's head snapped up when she heard a high pitched voice call her name, she looked down at the teen with the platinum blonde hair and groaned, this girl was Stacy Hearthstone, a real bitch in her school, she always made fun of Gwen

"Oh isn't it little Gwen! Hiding in a tree now huh?" She called "What a freak!" She yelled and laughed.

'Maybe if I don't listen to her she'll go away?' Gwen asked herself and buried her face in her book. Moments went by and Gwen didn't hear anything, then she heard a sigh.

"You're not worth my time you little freak. I have my boyfriend to meet." Stacy said and began to walk away. Gwen had enough with the name calling and growled

"You mean fuck right? Because you're just that much of a whore!" Gwen yelled and climbed down the tree throwing her book on the ground. She crossed her arms and walked up to Stacy who held shocked expression on her face.

"What the fuck did you just say to me bitch?" Stacy said getting in Gwen's face

"You heard me bitch." Gwen said with courage "I don't know what your fucking problem is but ever since I came to that fucking school you've been up my ass!" Gwen pushed Stacy a little bit making her stumble backwards a little

'Stop it! You're such a fucking freak! This is why no one at school likes you; this is why you have no friends!" She said Gwen had enough and pushed Stacy to the ground grabbed her book and left. Gwen grabbed her cell and started texting her mom

Coming home –Gwen

Gwen started walking and after a few moments her ring tone of Paramore "Still into you" Began playing she grabbed her phone again and looked at the text

Ok dinner's ready! :) were having a guest :( A stupid guest who is ridiculous and reading over my shoulder! Telling me to take what I just said off, I won't though cause he's an…you know! –Mom

Gwen raised an eyebrow at the text but began walking again anyway, her mind kept wandering to the stranger in her living room, should she had left her mother there with him? Her mother could take care of herself; she does throw a mean slap…Gwen chuckled humorously at her thought

Soon Gwen made it to her front door and opened it, there was that guy again staring at her, it was freaking her out, he was giving her a knowing look. She wanted to smack him.

"Hi" She said awkwardly and went to the kitchen, he followed after her.

"Hello, Gwendolyn is it? Your mother has told me a lot about you." He said, Gwen gave him a strange look before washing her hands in the kitchen sink then sitting down for dinner waiting for her mother, the man sat down across from her staring intently

"I prefer Gwen, or Gweny." Gwen said awkwardly hands folded in front of her. "Your name?" she asked

"Loki" He said she nodded

"Cool, where's my mom?" She asked the man "And are you guys dating?" Loki face contorted in disgust

"By Valhalla no, she is a wretched woman." He said Gwen raised an eyebrow, and shook her head this was getting awkward for her "your mother is in the rest room." He said finally

"K" she said and waited in the awkward silence for a minute. She started tapping her fingers on the table as her mom entered the room. "Thank god!" Gwen said out loud "It's so awkward in here you could poke the awkwardness!" Gwen said poking the air for emphasis Sarah laughed wearily. She was tired from crying and tired of Loki

"I made your favorite sweet pea." Sarah said and put spaghetti on Gwen's plate and messily on Loki's he glared on her she smiled smugly and mouthed 'bite me', Loki being the smart ass he is mouth back 'I just might' he said Sarah got wide eyed and sat down giving herself some food Gwen began placing her hands on the table one for Loki to hold and one for Sarah, Loki gave her a weird look

"Don't you ever say grace?" She asked Loki shook his head Gwen rolled her eyes "just put your hand in mine and thank God or your God for this food" she said and Loki placed his hand in her, the hand matched his in coldness, Sarah's warm hand took Gwen's and they all said grace in their head except for Loki who thought this was stupid, he was a God he shouldn't have to thank anyone.

"So I wanted to talk to you about something" Sarah said awkwardly laying her fork down on her plate. Gwen smiled and looked her mother

"yeah mom?"

"This man" Sarah said pointing to Loki Gwen Looked at him, he held a smirk on his face, as if he knew what she was going to say. Gwen got an unsettling feeling in her gut "Is your father" And Gwen dropped her fork on her plate
