Scared

Elyra's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling like freezing and scared by the darkness. I look away to see the door just close by.

I suddenly felt more scared as the thunder filled the sky outside my window, quickly leaving my room and hurrying to my parents'room.

When I got there my mom who was lying on my dad's chest looked worried as she gazed at my scared and trembling little form.

"M-mom..." I mumbled, even at such a young age of 5 I can now speak fluently, maybe because my parents are good at teaching me?

"Yes, El our baby?" My mom responded while my dad walked towards me and picked me up, placing me on the bed beside them.

I let out a sob as I was placed between them feeling the cold slowly going away, the sky going back to being dark.

"Mom... Dad... It's scary outside..." I said, slowly hiding my little form inside my father's shirt.

"Shhh, we're here El, you can always call us whenever you feel scared....

...***************...

I gasped, that was long ago... When dad would say don't worry because he's always there and wouldn't leave us... But he's not here anymore... He left us!

I looked up at mom, ever since dad left us for his new wife mom was never like before, she became really depressed and usually just watching me from afar.

But it's not like she's ignoring me? It's just that... She feels like the stars... Familiar but it's really impossible to reach out to them...

"Mom, dad... Can I hug you both? I'm really scared..." the thing I would normally say if we're still complete...

I gazed down, trying to stop the tears that were forming in my eyes, I'm a high schooler now, a teen... But I'm already working on part-time jobs.

My mom is really depressed now and failed too many interviews and some even ended up getting the job, but it won't last too long, like that one time she got accepted as a cashier, but a customer got creeped by her, and she got fired.

"Hey, Aren't you going to eat your food?" I looked up and saw a beautiful pair of hazel eyes, blond curls of her hair, the way her eyelashes flashed as she blinks, she looks like a girl from a novel.

"Elyraaa! I asked... Aren't you going to eat your food?" She asked me once again, and I felt my cheeks burning when I looked away and touched my fork and spoon.

"See? Finally, you're eating, anyway... Remember Zack? Is That team captain of the Hawks' baseball team He asked me out on a date~" She said on her Italian accent

She's my best friend anyway, Chloe "Hmm? He did? Did you accept?"

"I did! And girl guess what!!! He confessed to me his feelings, and then I did too like him... Sooo.... We're in a relationship now...."

I Choke on the water I'm drinking and slightly and slowly slinkling some onto her, outting my hand up on my forehead, what? That known playboy?
