~~The next day~~

Kate's POV

I was playing Amnesia The Dark Descent..it was still day outside but i closed the curtains of the bedroom and wore my headphones..Cry wasnt home so i decided to try to play some horror!!

I was walking around the castle and it was dark..the only scary is the atmosphere..it does the place more creepy,..

I saw a door opening..

Me:nope!!nope!!if i go inside something bad is gonna happen..nope!!

I mumbled..but then i went inside and the door closed behind me and scared me a bit..

Me:i knew it!!

Then i started losing sanity..i tried to stand him up

Me:come on Daniel!!stand up or-

Cry/Ryan:BOO!!!

Me:AAAAAAA I AM YOUNG TO DIE!!!

I screamed and threw the headphones on the desk..i heard Cry's laughter

Me:DAMN IT RYAN!!you scared the shit out of me!!

Cry/Ryan:i am sorryyy babee!!

He said between his laughs..i quited the game and tried to find something else..

Cry/Ryan:what about Slender?

I didnt answer..i didnt even look at him..

Cry/Ryan:come on babe dont be mad with me!!

He said and put his arms around my neck..he placed kisses on my cheek and neck but still i didnt do or say anything..

He was kissing my neck and his right hand went to mine and to pull my hand from the mouse..nope!!not today!!

With my other hand,i pulled his hand from mine and stood up and went to the living room..

Cry/Ryan:are you gonna be like this because i scared you a bit?

I turned around to face him and i kissed him

When we pulled back i said

Me:i cant get mad at you...

I said and kissed his nose

He smiled and placed his arms around my waist..we met again for another kiss..but with more passion..

The doorbell interrupted us and pulled back

Cry/Ryan:ohh my niece come again!!

I gave him a big smile and went together to open the door..

When Cry opened it,his niece came in and hugged us

Niece:uncle Ryan,auntie Kate!!

Me:ohh my little one!!

Allie:ohh you are Kate!!Ryan told me about you and *says her name* too..she told me that she had wonderful time with you and Ryan yesterday!!

Me:really?hah,then we will have again that wonderful time!!

Niece:yayy!!

Allie:okay i have to go,Ryan i will come again the same hour with yesterday..

Cry/Ryan:okay sis!!

Allie:have fun!!

She said and left..

We started playing diffrent games but a bit later the doorbell rang..

Me:i go!!

I said and went to open it.

When i opened it,there was a 16 year old boy and he looks like Cry..

Me:hey,how can i help you?

Nathan:hey,you have to be Kate!!

Me:how do you know me?

Nathan:i am Nathan but you can call me Nate!!i am Ryan's younger brother..

Nathan:exactly!!he is in the house?

Me:yeape,come in!!

He walked in and i noticed that he was holding a laptop..

Cry/Ryan:who is in the door?

We walked in the living room and his niece was on his back..

Niece:go horsie!!

I laughed and took his niece from his back..

Cry/Ryan:whats the problem,little one?

Nathan:hey,i am 16!!

Cry/Ryan:still,you are!!

He said and messed up with his hair..

Nathan:anyway i want your help with my computer..

Cry/Ryan:what did you do again?!

I giggled and they went to the bedroom..

Niece:auntie,do you want to draw?

Me:of course i want,sweetheart!!

She pulled out of her small backpack,papers and colors..

After of half an hour,they came again in the living room

He said and placed a soft kiss on my lips

Niece:you kiss auntie Kate!!

Cry/Ryan:you want a kiss too?

He said and kissed her on the left and i on the right cheek..

She giggled and she gave us a kiss on the cheek too..

~~At 20:20pm~~

Allie didnt come on the time she said...i started getting worried..

Me:Ryan,did your sister call you or text you that she will be a little late?

Cry/Ryan:no...

He said in worried tone...

Niece:uncle Ryan,where is mommy?

Cry/Ryan:she will come,she is just a little late..

And then we heard a loud knock on the door..

I opened it and it was Allie..she looked anxious..

Allie:is *her name* in the house?

Me:yes she is,what happen?

I let her come in and we went to the living room..

Niece:mommy!!

She said and run towards her..

Cry/Ryan:hey,sis what happen?

Allie:*her husband name*..

He wided his eyes

Cry/Ryan:what did he do to you?did he hurt you?

Allie:no i am fine just...some family problems..

We sat down and she talked about the problems they have between her and him..

Allie:i dont want to continue like this..i am thinking about my little girl and she deserves to grow with both of us..

Me:things will get better just tell him what you want to tell and remind him about your child..

Cry/Ryan:she is right and if he do a single move to hurt you i swear i will kill him!!

She gave us a smile but we heard the doorbell rang repetitive and loud knocks on the door..

Her husband:OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR I KNOW SHE IS INSIDE!!

I went to open the door and when i opened it he pushed me on the wall and hit my back

Her husband:Get out of my way!!

He said when he did it.,he went to the living room and i followed him..

Her husband:there you are!!we didnt finish our conversation!!

She pulled closer her daughter and said

Allie:not now!!no in front of *her name*...

Her husband:i dont give a fuck!!

He said and grabbed her arm

Cry/Ryan:hey!what do you think are doing?you are in my house!!

Her husband:shut the fuck up,you piece of shit!!

He was about to attack him but i stopped him

Me:Ryan,he is drunk!!please calm down...

He nodded and Allie and her husband went to the kitchen and we heard that they were arguing..

Cry/Ryan:take *her name*to our room and wait there..

I nodded and took his niece to our room..

I stood at the bedroom door in case that something happen..

Niece:auntie Kate?

Me:what is it my sweeheart?

Niece:why mommy and daddy are fighting?

Me:emm...i dont know honey..,,

She came closer and hugged me

Niece:daddy will leave mommy?

I went down to her height and hugged her tight..

Me:no!!daddy will never leave you and your mommy!!

She hugged me back and they went out of the kitchen and walked in the living room still fighting..i held her hand and walked slowly to the living room..

I peeked a little bit and listened

Allie:you know what?!i am working just as hard and i am really tired of treated me this way!!!

Her husband:You better get used to it!!'Cause this is just the start!!This is gonna be some changes around here..i fed up of pushing around by you,,I put the bread in our table,dont i?I AM THE MAN OF THIS FAMILY!!I will make the rules and i will get the respect i deserve!!

Cry/Ryan:YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!RIGHT NOW!!RELATIONSHIPS ARE EQUAL STANDINGS!!I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF YOU THINK YOU ARE THE MAN OF THE FAMILY 'CAUSE YOU HAVE A DICK!!

He hit him on his balls and put him down on the floor..he continued

Cry/Ryan:..FUCK YOU,SHE WORKS JUST AS HARD!!AND SHE DESERVES TO BE TREAT BETTER!!

He was about to punch him but his sister grabbed his hand

Allie:Ryan,calm down please!!

She begged him and i took his niece back to our room..

His face..full of anger..but still full of care and protection about his sister..i am glad that he stood up for her sister!!but this face...i remembered when he hit me with his mask and his voice was just like this..

I pulled his niece close to me and she hugged me..then Cry came in..

Cry/Ryan:hey girls..*Her name* come..time to go..

She pulled away from me..and held Cry's hand as they walked out of the room..

I pulled my legs close to my chest and started thinking..

But Cry pulled me out of my thoughts..

Cry/Ryan:hey are you okay?

He said and sat next to me..he placed his hand on my shoulder..

Me:y-yeah..

Cry/Ryan:babe you are shaking,what happen?

Me:n-nothing..i just..

I turned my gaze to him

Me:..i saw when you stood up for your sister..i am happy that you did that but,...

I took a big breath and continued

Me:..i get scared...

Cry/Ryan:what,scared?!

He said in voice full of worriness as he pulled me closer to him

Me:i remembered when you yelled at me...and then hit me with your mask..i get scared that you would get under control again but your sister stopped you before you punched him,.

He kissed the top of my head and said

Cry/Ryan:i wouldnt let him say these things...they werent right...we are all equal...and please dont be afraid of me...i made a terrible mistake and i will never forgive my myself of doing this to you..

He said and he caressed my cheek..i hugged him tightly and asked him

Me:Why you are so protective?when you said these things...it was like you have been through this..

He layed down on the bed and we cuddled..he played with my hair and said

Cry/Ryan:i think a bed story will be a good idea...dont you think?

I nodded and he took a big breath..

Cry/Ryan: Let's hit some reality up in this.

Let me paint you a picture. Weave this brush and throw in some color for you listen to the story of a boy.

Roughly five years ago a boy was there, sitting in his room, playing a popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game alone in the middle of the night. He was finishing up his last year of high school with little on his mind other than socializing with the players in the game he had been absorbed in for years prior to this night and ignoring all prospects of the future. The usual background hum of the fan in the dead of night abruptly drowned out the sudden sound of a woman crying, screaming, or the usual arguing over things like money with another older feminine tone and the like. This voice belonged to his mother, a single woman for as long as he could remember, a woman who tried her best to raise three children on her own after being left by numerous others.

His mother suffered from depression. On more than one occasion the boy found himself in possession of her medication to prevent her from overdosing purposefully on the pills. She desperately wanted to be loved. She refused to believe her very children did so, she wanted love from a man. A lover. She went through many men, all of them scum in their own unique way. Some addicts, some liars, some thieves, some users, others abusers. She was desperate, and adapted her own personality to that of who would accept her. If the one who would hold her in his arms was a user of a certain narcotic, she would begin to partake in such a substance as well. If one were of a more aggressive nature she would vent a similar rage onto her children in a similar, only psychological nature.

The boy did not even bother to learn the names of these men who came into his home. He knew they would not be there long. He looked at them with the greatest amount of silent distrust and unwillingness to accept as a passive introvert of a young adult could. He carried on to absorb himself into a game and block out the constant train wrecks that continued to assault his home-life.

Then, someone came in one night. He didn't know this man. He knew his mother did due to the constant sounds of sex coming from the other side of the wall that he tried to drown out with headphoned music blasting. The position becoming extremely awkward when the left headphone died and he could hear it all, but that's sidetracking. He introduced himself to the boy and, hesitantly, he returned the gesture as he continued to sit there, playing his online computer game.

Over time he saw more and more of this man. His mannerisms slowly falling off and becoming part of the boy's own. After a while he noticed that, in his eyes, the boy saw almost an older version of himself in the man. Not so much a father-figure yet, but a friend. Someone whom truly understood his habits, his interests and could aid him in the things he wished to learn. All those hobbies and tasks he did alone, he finally had someone who would willingly and excitingly accompany him. All this, and the weirdest thing... his mother was smiling more. She was happy. She wasn't crying. The boy thought, finally, things would work.

Finally.

The years roll by, the man and the mother wed, the family is happy. Parties, friendly banter, movie nights, things the family never once did before... they finally connected and acted as a true family should.

But then the crying started again.

The shouting. The accusations, the arguments of money, the worthlessness of another, the emotional out-bursts, the pills. So many pills.

In attempts to mend the shaky relationship the two decided to purchase their own real home together. With this, they thought, they could move past things. They could mature and truly rely on one another and grow old together. Things were wonderful for all but a handful of weeks. Then it all began again. The boy found himself lucky this time, his room finding recluse in the back of the house away from the screams and the shouts. He found himself staying up every night until the sun rises, falling asleep restlessly, being woken up almost as if on queue by sobbing of an emotionally abused woman, a woman whom he loved, but was only a man in age, not maturity. His own nervousness, his own scared personality, his own unwillingness to stand up and try to change it all keeping himself locked in his room, refusing to step forward and say that enough was enough. To be able to step up and protect the woman who protected him from the world during his days of innocence - he couldn't do it.

He wasn't strong enough to step up to the pain he witnessed every day, he was too much of a coward. He knew it was coming. He knew the accusations his mother made, the ones which she spoke of to which people deemed her simply paranoid, were absolutely true. He knew as well as his mother that the man had, for many months, been psychologically abusing the heart of the mother. All the while sleeping with another. Toying with the mother's heart strings like a toy to toss around the room like a piece of junk - he treated her like nothing, completely different from when he first entered the boy's, now man's, life.

The biggest question that ran through the boy's mind. The most confusing thing of it all he continued to ask himself was: Why would a man come into the life of someone, only to absolutely destroy her. To further crumble a woman's trust in men after being abused and mistreated by innumerable individuals throughout the entirety of her life. All the while, all the while, treat the boy like nothing was wrong. To joke around with him, to treat him like a son. To treat him like a friend. To befriend him and let the boy begin to look up to him as the first father figure in his life, while you sit there and torment the only mother he has ever known..

And with that he finished..i was in sock,.

Me:R-Ryan..is that..

Cry/Ryan:yes..

He said before i could complete my sentence..i pulled him closer to me..

Me:i am so so sorry Ryan,..

I turned my gaze to him..he has been through a lot..

Cry/Ryan:these are in the past..

I tried to hold my tears from before but i couldnt..

Cry/Ryan:i just wish to have a father...my real father..not leave my mother raise three children on her own..

He noticed my tears and wiped them away..

Cry/Ryan:dont cry about the past because you will lose what you live now..~poetry!!

I giggled and he gave me a smile..he kissed my nose and covered us with the bed sheets..

Cry/Ryan:i think it was difficult day..so,.

He stopped to kiss me and then he continued

Cry/Ryan:good night my love..

I took off his glasses and placed them on the book shelf next to us..

Me:i care about you Ryan..i am glad you told me that...i want you to be happy..

He smiled and said

Cry/Ryan:I am happy..

More to come
