Nathaniël's POV

"GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP BEFORE I BREAK YOUR ARM!!" Ah, the highlight of my day, my father, always threatening me. He's hit me several times. And, before you ask, it wasn't always like this. It all happened on April 8th, 2013....

My younger sister, Katie, had been rushed to the hospital after she had trouble breathing. I remember it, mom and dad were crying, and I was trying to comfort them.

Then the nurse came out,...

She had the saddest look on her face...

"Your...your daughter.. didn't make it..., I'm so sorry....we did everything we could..."

"NO! Katie CAN'T be dead! Your lying!!" I remember being so mad and sad at the same time.

--Timeskip--

Once we got home, I asked my dad to tuck me in, and he slapped me. I remember crying and asking: "Why did you do that?"

All he did was threaten to hit me again if I didn't go to bed.

Once I got upstairs, I ran to mom and hugged her, but she pushed me off of her and onto the ground. "You don't deserve love. Your sister died because of you! Get out of sight!"

--Back to Reality--

I slowly got my clothes on (the outfit above) and walked downstairs. Big mistake. My father politely greeted me with a nice punch to the face. I got my bookbag, grabbed an apple and left.

--Class Time--

"Hey Nathaniël, how are you~ wait, what's that?" My best friend Marinette asked me, pointing to my black eye from this morning.

"Uh....I .."

"Fell from the stairs?"

I sigh sadly as I nod my head.

She shakes her head. "Oh Nathaniël...
.😖"

I walk over to seat in the back of the classroom and start drawing in my sketchbook.

"Nathaniël and Adrien will be partners in this project..."

"EXCUSE ME!?!! ADRIENKINS AND I SHOULD BE IN A GROUP!!!! NOT THAT NOBODY!!"

Before I could respond, I hear someone speak up. "Chloè, why are you of all people talking about him like that?"

Lots of oo's came from the crowd. And Chloe sat down in a huff while I secretly fanboyed in the corner.

Omgomgomgomg!! ADRIEN AGRESTE is my partner!!

"Hey Nathaniël! I guess we're partners!"

"Uh, y-yeah! I can't w-wait to get started.!"

"You don't know what we're doing, do you?" Adrien chuckled.

"No, no clue. "

"Well, wanna come over to my place?"

"WHAT! I mean, r-really, m-me, at your h-house? I t-thought y-you wouldn't want m-me of all p-people..."

"What? Why?"

"Why else does my family hate me?" I said. But as soon as I said that I covered my mouth.

"W-what happened?" He said as he held both of my hands, "Tell me. It's ok."

"...i...I can't..."

"It's ok, it's only me."

"Well..it all started on April 8th, 2013.." We sat down as I began to tell my story.
