you where only 6 living in a home with your abusive parents not living but surviving blissfully unaware of the hell you where about to go through.

it was 2am when the house caught on fire most likely from your mother taking drugs after making dinner forgetting to turn the stove off.

the flames quickly engulfed the house you where asleep and woke up in a hospital covered in burns unaware of what happened that’s when they told you…”your mommy and daddy didn’t survive”

you where put into foster care you’ve been in 3 homes in the last month none of them wanting to deal with the trauma and sadness you carried with you

at least that was until Gerard. You arrived 3 days ago and he’s been so caring all day every day you wait at the window just hoping.. just praying your mommy will come to get you… you’re just a kid you don’t get why she left you don’t realise what death is you don’t realise how close you came to not being here at all

“Sunshine I got your cream..” gerard says showing up with a smile

he always remembers your cream you need it since the accident to help manage the 3rd and second degree healing burns he also payed for expensive scar healing cream for you as he didn’t want you growing up hating yourself “take your shirt off honey…”
