Seth

The breakfast that Ryan made was the best I ever ate. Mom never really let me eat very much and if she did it was usually leftovers. I don’t really know why I never noticed how awful she was until she started to beat me is a complete mystery to me. I guess I just wanted a mom.

The call from last night suddenly filled my head and tears threatened to fall. I was going to have to leave the only person who actually knew my secret and accepted it. That thought alone made me want to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out. I never knew the feeling of being accepted, but with Ryan it was different. He was kind and was still kind even when he knew my secret.

Ryan had to go to work so I was in the apartment alone, well not completely because I still had Dreamcatcher and Winter to keep me company. I’d never been allowed to have any pets but the twins had countless animals throughout the years. I always wanted to have a pet anything really even a turtle would have made me happy. Heck a freaking mouse would have made me happy.

Dreamcatcher came over to me purring away so I decided I’d pet him. His fur was so soft it was like petting silk. He was really social unlike Winter. Winter just wanted to kind of observe not participate. Nevertheless I still like both of them. They made me feel happy almost as happy as Ryan made me feel.

I shook my head. What are you even thinking Seth? Don’t get attached! You’ll only hurt yourself.

Once those thoughts stopped I started thinking about the kitties again. I was going to miss these guys whenever I left. They made feel like I finally had a family and a home. Then to my surprise Winter came running over to me meowing loudly. He almost seemed alarmed.

I heard a knock at the door and my adrenaline kicked in. I quietly maneuvered through the living room and opened the door. My heart stopped beating for a second as fear over took my body.
