I know the story has been a bit uneventful, but i really wanted to show how close J and Ace are. Don't worry, the story is going to be very eventful starting very soon :)

"Daddy?" I call out. "Yes princess?" he walks out of his room, towards me. "Um..Daddy, can I go to the park please?" "No, darling. You can't leave the house." "But daddy, I'll be extremely safe. I promise!" His eyes darken slightly. "I said no, Ace. That's my final answer." I huff and cross my arms. "You know you can't keep me locked inside forever, right?" He rolls his eyes and turns to walk away. "Don't be so dramatic love. I'm only thinking of your safety." "Ever since Mom was taken away, you've treated me like a little kid!" He stops in his tracks and turns to face my slowly. "Do not speak about that horrible woman." "Why not? Why is it not okay to talk about her and what happened?" "Ace, I'm serious. Stop it right now." "But why? What can I not talk about when mom-" "ACE! I said to stop. Don't test me." "You can't shut me away just because mom tried to kill me, okay?" He raised his hand and slapped me swiftly across the face. I raise my hand to my cheek. He's never hit me before. Tears filled my eyes. "Ace, I'm sorry. I don't know what-" "I hate you." "B-baby please. You can't mean that." He reaches forward to touch my shoulder lightly but I flinch, thinking he's going to hit me. "Oh darling, I'm so sorry. I'm not going to hurt you." "How can I believe you? Just...just stay away from me!" I turn and run out the front door, hearing my father's anguished screams and pleas. I keep running and running until I reach a far part of town that I don't recognize. I walk around for a while until I realize that I'm completely lost. I walk into an alley to my right and slide down the wall, pulling my knees to my chest. I begin to cry, letting out all of my pain and anger towards my father. He said he'd never hurt me. He said he would protect me. He did though. He protected me from everything that could hurt me, except for himself.
I let my uncontrollable sobs rack my body. The pain in my chest physically hurts. I can't stop the flow of tears. Soon, my tears subside but the pain remains. I stand up to begin searching for my house again when I feel a hand on my shoulder. Before I can turn or say anything, a hand covers my mouth and drags me backwards. I try to scream, but it's practically inaudible. The figure drags me to their car and opens the trunk, pushing me inside. I scream as loudly as I can, earning me a hit to the face. The trunk is slammed shut and I black out from the amount of fear I was feeling.
