You could hear your parents argument, from three bedrooms down.

A lot of their arguments were about you, everyone thought you had the perfect family. Everyone praised your stepfather on his ability to raise a child that wasn't his.

Little did they know that many times he tried to convince your mother to send you away to boarding schools, or how he always said things to belittle you.

You could do nothing more than watch, sometimes, when you were younger you thought about running away and disappearing.

You didn't have anyone to talk to about these things. Because everyone had an image of what your family was like and refused to believe you.

You called the only person who knew about your parents, Tamaki.

You knew everyone thought he was an idiot, but he knew what you were going through.

He had similar problems with his grandmother, my parents at least tried to hide it, or they used to...

"Y/n is something wrong?" He asked worried

That was all it took for you to start crying and he understood what was happening.

"Whatever he's saying about you isn't true just talk to me princess, listen to me not them okay?" He said trying to console you

"OK, promise me you'll stay on the phone until its over?" I said still crying

"I will stay until you hang up, and then I'll text you!" He said

It wasn't much but it brought a smile to your face.

__________________________

You were the perfect child in everyone's eyes, outside of your families at least.

You had a younger brother, who made bad grades, disrespectful, and just an asshole at times.

You had good grades, never talked back to your superiors, and was kind to everyone. But both of your parents fawned over your younger sibling.

You loved your brother more than words could describe but you envied him. He never worked for anything, but received everything.

I was forced to pick up his messes, while he sat around lazy.

Your parents never compared him to you in fear of hurting his feelings, but when it came to you they were out for blood.

You were at dinner, and it wasn't long before they started

"So I hear you have a boyfriend? I knew it was bound to happen, from the way you dressed and always seeked attention, I can't help but wonder when you're going to be pregnant." Your father said

"She can't help she was born with no class, I'm surprised we haven't caught her in bed in our own home!" You mother agreed with your father

You saw one of the maids escorting Kyoya in. He was right on time.

I was shocked when I heard the words coming from my boyfriend

"Excuse me, but ma'am weren't you pregnant with y/n at 15, and Mr. l/n you were 27 when y/n was born. I may be mistaken but I don't see how y/n is the one with no class, considering she hasn't mentioned sex to me at all since we've been together" You were frozen in your seat but soon got over it and walked out with Kyoya

______________________________

You and your mother always argued. Over small things, your father wasn't ever home to help you, and honestly no one cared.

You were currently talking to Kaoru on the phone, when your mom came in.

"Dammit y/n you've done it again! I told you to get my cigarettes where are you? Talking on the phone with a man who is too good for you!" She said slapping you.

"I did give them to you you smoked them all!" I told her

I was embarrassed that Kaoru heard that, I was embarrassed that she was my mom.

"Babe do you want to come To my house?" He asked concerned

"No, thanks I'm OK" I told him

"My dad use to stick me and Hikaru in the closet while he cheated on my mom, one day I told mom and she confronted him and he made us watch while he...had sex." He said and I couldn't help but feel the need to protect him.

"You're amazing Kaoru" I told him honestly

"You're phoneminal" he told me

____________________________

Tonight my dad was coming home from a business trip. I started to remember how bad it was before he left.

I guess Honey noticed I was being quieter and asked what was wrong.

"My dad is coming home tonight." I told him he knew about what he did to my family

He looked at me with wide eyes and I offered a smile it seemed he was more concerned than I was.

"Call me if anything happens." He said in a serious tone

"I will," I told him

"I mean it y/n, if you come in to school with bruises I won't forgive myself" He said hugging me.

_______________________________

You lifted your shirt to see all of the bruised and scabbed skin.

You touched one of them and hissed in pain. You lived with your big brother Zaizen because he needed a place to stay for the week.

Because you owned the house he felt challenged by you he was at least 100 pounds heavier and a foot taller than you, and he attacked when you were sleeping.

You used all of these excuses but you knew you wouldn't hurt your brother, no matter how much he hurt you. You just...couldn't.

You put on the school uniform. And thank god it was long sleeved. You got through the whole day smoothly until lunch.

Mori came to hug you and you ran up to him forgetting about your injuries.

You let out a scream and Mori took you to the nurses office without your consent.

The nurse gasped when she saw all of the marks on your body.

"Who did this?!" Mori said storming in

"I fell down two flights of stairs you know how clumsy I am!" I said smiling trying to convince him

"Then why is there a hand print on your rib cage, y/n no act of clumsy ness could cause this now who did this?!" He said calmer than before

"Zaizen" I told him

His face contoured into disgust

"Your own brother did this to you?!" He said loud

You nodded and he gave you a kiss.

"I'm going to kill him." He said quietly

"No you're not I refuse to let you spend your life in prison" I said in his chest

"I'm going to kick his ass" and surprisingly I didn't say anything back
