You didn't have an exactly great childhood. You're parents didn't care about you as much as ones should. You can't say that you were neglected, but you definitely didn't feel loved.

The only joy from your early years was your next-door-neighbour, Ajax.

You and Ajax had a lot of adventures, you even sometimes went to his cabin with his siblings and parents because they all adored you - you were a part of the family.

As Ajax and his siblings grew, it was decided it would be beneficial to just move to the cabin. It wasn't too far, still in the same town, but you and Ajax didn't get to meet up too much other than school.

One night, while you were doing homework in your room, your drunk parents barge in. They yell at you, making a mess of your room and threatening you with violence. You frantically grab your phone and dash to the bathroom - easy with their drunken state.

You dial Ajax's number and when he answers, he immediately picks up on your frightened voice and cries. He told you to run outside and wait for him; he's taking you to his home.

You check cautiously if your parents are still in your room, and fortunately, they're not. You take this chance to throw a few things in your bag and quickly make your way into the front garden - still feeling shaken.

You wait anxiously until you finally see Ajax pull up in his parents' car. He can see no one is outside so he takes a chance to jump out of the driver's seat and rush to hug you tightly.
