You had always known your parents to be a bit odd, but they were your parents and thats all you needed to know. You were only four when you were taken from their care and found out that their "Strangeness" was because they were on multiple substances. You weren't supposed to find out since you were so young, but you ended up overhearing some police officers talking about it.

Your parents had been arrested for multiple charges which meant you had to be placed in the care of your uncle, you'd never met your mom's brother before, so you were a little weary.

"Uhm...hey?"

Mark said as he crouched down to your level. Mark had always known his sister was an addict, but he had never known she had a child. On top of that, he had no idea how to take care of a kid, especially one so young.

"Whats this bruise from, kiddo?"

He asked as he pointed to the bruise under your eye. In truth, your mom had thrown a can of soup at you a few days ago and it was still healing.
