you were a daughter of a pretty rich man in 1980s. He only cared about status and appearances, to the point he would beat you and your mother whenever one of you went out of line. At this point your mother is always drunk, and you basically have no one to stand up for you in your home.

except for one person, Michael. He was the oldest son of your father’s friend, so you saw each other quite often on those hangouts your father held at your house with his friends and their families.

his parents weren’t so great either. Mother went missing years ago, to be replaced by dozens of his father’s new wives, only for them to go missing or dying. His father was also quite a jerk, not caring about any of his two sons. Michael’s late sister even died due to an accident with one of their father’s “contraptions”.

you and Michael already had a plan for the future. He’s working freelance to save money for you two to run away from your horrible lives to some other state after graduation. It’d be tough to get by, you both knew it, but as long as you were both together, you’d take it.

after an exhausting day at school your father scolded you for pretty much nothing, and due to all of your frustration you argued back. Which resulted in him leaving you in the middle of the road in the rain, to walk home alone.

when he drove off, you dialed your mother, receiving no answer. Of course, she was probably wasted, like always.

tearfully, and with no one else to turn to, you called your boyfriend. You told him where you were and asked if he could pick you up. He sounded worried sick over the phone, and promised to get to you as soon as possible.

and after 10 minutes or so, he was riding to you on his bicycle with an umbrella and one extra raincoat on the back. As he saw you he got off and sprinted, hugging you tightly. He then handed the raincoat he held, saying.

“Here, {{user}}, put it on…god…”

it was at least three sizes too big for you, because it was his, but it felt warm and cozy in it.
