*This chapter will be switching between Remy and Conner!

                                    ~Remy~

"Good to see you young Bouchard,"Maxwell shared. Maxwell is my family's longest oldest butler. He was extremely tall, had black hair filled with grey streaks. His hair was slicked back into a high bun. With Eyes the colour of dried seaweed."Your father will be a little late tonight, but your mother will be on time." I sigh plopping myself onto the couch.

The first floor living room was like every room, grey. My lovely parents are sad grey parents. The couch was a shade of serious grey matching the furry carpet. The pillows were eggshell white lined with gold coloured silk. The walls stony brook coloured covered in weird paintings of rain storms. Everywhere you look you see grey.

"When should we expect Ms. Monique?"Maxwell asks."Tomorrow again?"

"She can't make it,"I lie."She's at an overnight cheer team meet. They're talking about redoing their uniforms. She's voting to change the colours from white and Rouge to white and Crepe pink! It's extremely important for her yada yada yada."

"That's a really bad excuse,"Maxwell laughs.

"Mom and dad will believe it though,"I mumble.
"They don't give a fuck about us anyway..." I get up before Maxwell can try to comfort me."I better get ready! Don't forget to lock the liquor cabinet otherwise mom will drink all the wine and scotch again."

"Your parents love you Remy,"Maxwell blurted. I avoid his gaze not, wanting to see the pity in his eyes.

"Not as much as cheap beer and stocks," I sneered. Walking up the stairs away from Maxwell.

                                     -Conner-

Lying on my bed staring at the ceiling. Hoping my dad doesn't try to talk with me today. Telling him I already ate was kinda stupid kinda genius. Ha, that really is just who I am. Fifty percent dumbass fifty percent not-dumbass. I close my eyes trying to fall asleep. Which sucks because it's hard to fall asleep at 7:13 pm! I'll just do what I normally do when I want to fall asleep, think of Remy. But before I could I heard a loud noise.

CRASH!!!

"GET THE FUCK OUT!!!"My dad screams. Well,now it's gonna be even harder to go to sleep. I hear scrambling and the slam of a door. Looks like Uncle Nat called dad out for cheating on his girlfriend again. Stomping noises go towards dad's room as he slams the door.

"Great job on not checking your son!"I whisper. "Father of the year!!!"

I miss Remy... I should spam him some Star Wars memes. I don't even care that he doesn't know anything about Star Wars! He'd know how to make me feel better. I smile thinking about him, my best friend! Someday, I won't have to see my dad and he won't have to see his. Ha, just a couple of dudes with daddy issues! I better write that down to tell Remy later.

"FUCKING HELL!!!"My dad shouts. Now he needs to do his breathing exercises and weird humming. That should take a while...maybe I should just leave. I'd just slide out the window and he wouldn't notice. But I can't, because I'm supposed to have a relationship with my father. My asshole of a dad, the man who never gave a shit about me until mom left him. Warm tears roll down my cheeks and silent sobbing fills the night.
