I was laying down in my room trying to relax and preparing for the day. I really don’t want to get up, not with the ‘new roommate’ I just glare at the ceiling. Why did I agree to this? That's right money. The door was knocked on by that jerk. Getting up was not easy, not when you don’t want to.

“What do you want" I said to the other male. I open the door a slight bit, revealing the male. Remus looks at me with his blue eyes. Gods I dislike him. The rich just irk me, thinking every one has to serve them. And just by Remus face gave me the feeling that he wanted something.

“I'm hungry.” He said, my eyes twitched at that. I let a small growl out and point at the kitchen.

“Go make yourself something, I didn’t spend all month teaching you.” My ears flattened and I bared my fangs. “I'm not your slave." I slammed the door in his face. I'm not a slave to anyone. He started to whine. Ignoring his was really easy when you block it out.

Half hour later I smell something burning. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen. The idiot is burning toast. Sighing I push him back. How could this idiot burn toast? He just looks at me and I removed the burnt toast. Opening the trash can to empty the burned bits. “How did you burn this?”

“I turned it to five to cook it faster.” Remus is an idiot. I glare at him, as I put it back to two. Remus looked at me like I kicked a puppy.

Eventually I made breakfast, and to my surprise he said thanks. He left the table and headed to the bathroom. I sat on the couch turning on the tv, the news was on. Nothing good was reported mostly people dying, racist people killing those who are different. I turned my head when I heard water running. Must be taking a shower. He better not touch my stuff. He should have bought his own with that nice allowance. It's not my fault he spent it day one. I decided to close my eyes and think. Memories hurt, that I know of. I started to think about everything. My mother, father foster homes. All the pain that I had experienced just rushed into my brain. I must be asleep because I'm in the home I was born in. My mother walk through the door angry. What did I do this time? She grabbed my small arm and lead my to the car.

“Your asshole of a father wont pay child support anymore because his wife knows. So you know what? We can go to a place where they take unwanted rats.” She looked at me funny her ears pinned. She's a fox unlike me. I'm a half breed. Mom moved to the car her face fading away.

Remus shook me awake. He actually looked concerned "Are you ok? You were twitching badly.” He asked me, I looked at him my heart beating fast. I nodded and got up “Its ok be sad when you have nightmares. That’s what my mother said when I had them.” I just nodded and headed to my room. I took some more of my antidepressants and called my therapist.

I know I hate it here and I don’t like that hybrid, but seeing him have a nightmare kind of made me realize that he has feeling too. He’s got weakness like me. I stand at his door and tell him its ok. They I sit on the couch pulling my phone out. I text my family that I miss them. My sister called my phone and I pick it up.

“Hey little bro. I miss you" Her voice sounded happy.

"Miss you too. It sucks here. I wanna go home.”

“I know Rem, but you need to learn how to survive on your own.” She sounded stern. I hate that voice.

"Ughhh, my teacher is kind of mean. But I have to admit I am not listening to him. And before you say anything, I'm trying. He’s just a pain.”

“Well maybe he is trying to get info in you thick head.” She laughs at my suffering. “Well I have to go now baby bro, don’t commit arson. Love you” She ended the call, commit arson that's a funny one. She has a weird sense of humor, which I love about her. I finally realized my tail needed groomed, I went and grabbed something out of my bag. The brush, my momma got me that. She always did my tail fur, she hummed a melody and I miss this. But I have to do this on my own, so I can make mom proud!

Most of the day passed on my phone reading somehow to guides, and texting my mom. I turned my head as Vexis door opened, shit he looks like crap. His face looked so empty and his eyes had little fight in them. He walks to the fridge and pulls out apple juice. And he headed back to his room. I was a bit frustrated, why can't he talk with me? When I'm having problems like that I go to my sister or mom.

A few hours later Vexis was getting ready to leave. “Order yourself something. I left twenty bucks on the kitchen table. I’ll be back by midnight.” I didn’t get to reply as he left. Ok time to explore. Maybe learn something about this guy. Opening his door, I looked into his room. It was almost empty, just a bed and a dresser. No family photos anywhere. Even here I have a photo of my family. Even if I had a phone, I still kept a photo for when I'm lonely.

I left the house and headed to the job I took. I needed something to clear my mind. People make smart remarks, and mock me but I don’t care. They don’t hurt me, the only thig that still hurts me is memories. I arrived at the place I had to go, a tall male stood there, he's human. Great, wonder what he will want.

“So, you the one that’s from that company?” His deep voice asked. I nodded “Ok, I need someone to get some thing from my ex-wife. It’s a ring, kind of old and has a flower gem. It belongs to my mom. Can you do it?” I nodded again. He handed a paper to me and I left.

The house is thirty-minute walk. So, I went there. When I did get there, the house was empty. No one inside, I know that because of my hearing. Easy job tonight, I snuck in through a window that was slightly opened. I went upstairs and found the room that the paper informed of. The ring was easy to find, it was on the table. I grabbed it and jumped out the window so I get out fast. Luckly I did that because someone came home. It's easy to sneak away when I'm small.

Heading away I called my boss that runs the place. He answered “I finished the job. Not that hard so you know my rate. And inform the guy I won't get it to him util I get paid.” I didn’t give him a chance to respond and I hung up. The night arrived and so did the drunks. They made comments to woman and others. One of them decided to try to grab a lady. Before they could I punched them. Dang that felt good. I left before anything could happen.

The place I went to was somewhere I could hide form the world, an open field with a tree. I sat under the tree and looked at the sky. “So, I'm alive another day. Why? I know you don’t like me, if you did, I wouldn’t suffer like I am. Maybe I'm just meant to suffer.” I ranted to the sky. It's not like anyone is listening. “Why can't my new roommate learn? I'm tying my hardest. He needs to leave. I can't stand him. It's like he can't do anything.” I sighed and laid back on the tree and dozed off.

I got home after midnight, like I told him. Entering the living room, I saw him passed out. Walking to the kitchen to grab a quick snack I saw a poorly made cake. Huh, maybe he is learning something. There was a small paper next to it. It read:

So, you look like shit earlier, so heres a cake I tried to make. It's not the best and it’s a thank you for trying to teach me. I'm a hard head. SO, it takes some time for me to understand. But it seems like your sad, if you need something you can talk to me. I'm not going to bit you. My sister explained to me when you were gone that I need to show I can lend an ear. And maybe we could have a day to learn about each other. I know you don’t like me, and I don’t like you either. But we are living together, I don’t like this atmosphere. So tomorrow talk to me please?

Remus

I sigh, setting the note down and cutting a piece. And headed to my room. Sitting on my bed I took a bite. Not bad. Finishing it I set the plate down and took of my clothes and changed into my night were. The bed felt hard, I curled into a ball and fell asleep.
