And handed her a bottle of something blue

He got closer to her

Whispering a secret

"Only use it in emergencies"

"What is it?"

"It's blue. Use it against Blurryface"

And so he winked

And smirked

And Melanie felt special

Tyler trusted her

Later that night, all Hell broke loose at home

Mommy was screaming slurry words at Daddy

Daddy was throwing stuff and breaking things

Edwin yelled at them to stop

And Melanie sat in her bed

She wanted to sleep

But her heart was beating too loudly of nervousness

She was scared

A voice in her head constantly repeated the word 'divorce' in her head

She couldn't live if her parents didn't live together

She needed them both in the same place

She wanted one house to live in

Not two

Soon the front door opened and shut closed, making Melanie jump

It went silent

But Melanie then heard cries

From her mother

Melanie was silent

Tip-toed down the stairs to the kitchen where Mommy and Edwin sat

Edwin was talking comfortingly

Mommy was still crying

"Mommy, why are you crying?"

Melanie asked

Mommy looked up, tried to smile

But the smile was broken, full of hopelessness

"It's okay, Melanie. It's all going to be just fine. Try to sleep. I will make you some hot milk"

And so she went up to cook

Melanie layed down in her bed some minutes later

The milk calmed her down

Mommy sat next to her

Singing a lullaby

She looked tired and scattered

Exhausted after an abusive fight

With an abusive man

Melanie felt sorry for her mother

She wondered why Mommy stayed with Daddy when he was so mean to her

But also knew that Mommy loved Daddy so much and couldn't leave him

And Melanie felt the same

Melanie hoped she would never fall into an abusive relationship

She hoped Tyler would want to stay with her forever

Protect her from abusers

Tyler and Melanie were perfect for each other

And Tyler would never abuse or use her

They would always love each other

And live happily ever after

Until death tore them apart
