Y/N's POV:
I didn't mean to make them sad.
Look.
I never saw anyone while I was singing..
Or maybe it's because I was too focused on the song?
I'm sorry though.
"Y/N." Flo states breaking the silence
"Yeah?" I ask
"Can you play a song with your guitar?" She asks
I don't know...
Uhh-
Maybe I can't...
Or maybe I can?
I can do this.
"Actually, I can. I think I still remember the song Miley and I wrote in the past..." I reply earning a grin from them
"Can you sing it?" Karen states
"Pfft, of course I can." I state and I opened my guitar case
"Tu m'as manqué." (I missed you.) I state holding my guitar
"Tu what?" Flo asks
"She said, Tu m'as manqué." Robert states
"What does that mean?" Lee asks
"It means I missed you in french." Karen replies
"You can speak other languages?" Brie asks
"She can, she even talked to her friends in the café using a Korean language." Scar replies
Oh...
Wow.
This is the first time I heard them talk this afternoon.
"She even speaks German." Lizzie states
Awe.
I then looked at them with a grin on my face.
"Y/N, you okay? Why are you smiling like that?" My brother asks
"I just- I didn't think someone would pay attention on me when I do different things... Like talking in different languages and even comforts me when I have a nightmare. Had a nightmare... Correction..." I state turning my attention back to my guitar.
"You had a nightmare? Again?" Lee asks worriedly
"Don't worry, I'm fine... Scar and Lizzie was there." I state smiling like an idiot
Oh-
God-
Why am I smiling like this!?
I look like an idiot right now.
"Don't I?" I ask remembering that I was talking to myself
"Don't you what?" Chris H asks
"Oh- I mean... I look like an idiot right?" I state
"You'll always be my crazy idiot." Lee states
"I'm not that crazy." I state pretending to be offended
"No seriously, what is about?" Lee asks
"My father..." I reply
"My adaptive father." I add
"Triggered?" Karen asks
"Yup." I reply
"Triggered by who?" Robert asks
"Okay enough questions." Lee states
"It's okay Lee. I think everyone needs to know things about my parents. Adaptive parents... Sorry... Yeah." I reply
"Are you sure?" Lee asks
"I am. I trust everyone in this living room anyways." I reply
"Really sure?" Lee asks
"One hundred percent sure." I state
"So everyone... You can ask me any questions regarding my past life." I state not meeting anyone's gaze
"You we're adopted?" Jeremy asks
"Stolen, actually." I reply
"I know it sounds weird but I was stolen the day I was born." I state
"More like kidnapped." I add and I laugh
"What?" I ask
"Why are you laughing?" Brie asks
"Because it's funny?" I reply
"It's not." Chris H states
"Well to me it is." I state
"Keep asking questions." I add smiling
I don't know why I feel happy right now.
My biological mom keeps calling me the puppy im Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I asked her why...
She told me because I can still manage to laugh and smile after what I have been through...
Funny...
I don't know if I'm really okay...
But I'm sure that I love this version of myself.
"Did you experience a happy childhood?" Robert asks
Hmmm...
How should I say this...
"It was the best childhood I ever had. You know why?" I state
"No. Why?" He asks
"It's because my childhood is very dark." I reply
"How dark?" Brie asks
"I don't think we should-" Lee states but I cut her off
"My adaptive parents tortured and pressured me while growing up." I reply chuckling
They all then look at me weirdly.
Worriedly?
Angry?
Upset?
Whatever.
"Oh c'mon it's funny." I state and I sigh
"They're dead anyways. They both deserved to die." I add
"What exactly happened? The torture and stuff?" My brother asks
"My parents punished me every time I make a mistake." I reply
"That may seem normal... But as I grew older, I realized that it wasn't... It was abuse..." I add
"Abuse? What kind of abuse?" He asks
"I'll give you a situation... For an instance, If I fail one of my schoolworks... They will punish me... By beating me up, by locking me down in the basement and by starving me. Even if it's just one mistake." I add
"One mistake? Even when it's 99 over 100?" Anthony asks
"Yup... And here comes the best part... They drown me after they beat me up." I state laughing
What's with their faces?
They all look weird.
"Why y'all looking at me like that? Just keep asking me questions... We're almost done with my past." I state
"No abuse in school? Like- were you safe in school?" Flo asks
Uhh-
Wow.
Okay...
This is funny...
"Well that's what I thought... But I was wrong." I reply
"How wrong?" She asks
"Very wrong... I was very stupid back then... They all keep calling me a nerd... Nerd that wears sunglasses." I state
"I use sunglasses to cover my black eyes... Here's another best part... I enjoyed this part actually..." I add smiling
"What part?" Karen asks
(Dear reader, you've been scammed in the first chapter. Sorry, I just love plot twists.)
"I always receive stickers before I enter my class... I lied when I said I was home schooled... I lied about my past... I was actually- I lied mostly about my past. Kinda funny..." I state
"What stickers?" Jeremy asks
"Some are blue, some are violet, some are are black, and some are red." I reply
They all look at me confused...
Okay...
They don't get it...
"You guys don't get it, do you?" I ask and they all shake their heads in disagreement
"Bruises. My stickers were colorful bruises... Given by my bully... Now do you get it?" I ask but they still keep staring at me with looks of pity
"Here's one last thing... I'm not sure if Billie knows about this... But we were in college... and there was a party... I think it's the party before graduation... The party after graduation is different from the before one... And that's not the point... The point is... I was at the party and I went to the bathroom because I was going to wash my face but then someone grabbed me by the neck and slammed me on the bathroom wall... The man told me to take my clothes off and I said no and he got pissed... That's when he slapped me really hard and I'm glad that my jaw didn't break... He then kicked my stomach and I was grunting in pain... I lost my voice at that time and that's why I couldn't yell for help... He then punched me on my face almost knocking me out then he starts to remove his belt... He was about to rape me but gladly Professor Gomez came in the bathroom and she beat up the man and he called the police... Yup, you heard me right... She
... A woman beat up the man that was about to hurt me... She almost took me to the hospital but I said no and I told her that I'll stay in her house until I was okay... Yayy..." I state then I laughed hard
"We cannot forget the fact that I drowned myself in a bathroom, cut my wrist, hung myself up, swallowed poison, starved myself, and almost died." I add
"My life is so funny right? End of story..." I state still laughing my ass off
"Can you all just laugh with me? My life is a comedy show... C'mon." I state but stopped laughing when some of them starts tearing up
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
You know what....
Nevermind...
Gosh.
"Y/N..." Robert states and I remembered something
"Can we just forget that I told you everything about my past? I feel kinda weird because y'all are staring at me like I'm about to die or something..." I state
"Oh shoot... The song.... Right... Almost forgot..." I add and then I start to strum my guitar and check if it's in the right tone
"This song is called 'I'll always remember you' by yours truly and my good friend Miley Cyrus." I state changing the topic
__________
You can play "I'll Always Remember You" by Miley Cyrus while reading this. Thank You! 🫶🏻
Sing it while reading for better experience 😁
You can also grab your guitar and sing it instead...

I then start to strum my guitar...

Go.
I always knew this day would come
We'd be standing one by one
With our future in our hands
So many dreams, so many plans
I always knew after all these years
There'd be laughter, there'd be tears
But never thought I'd walk away
With so much joy, but so much pain
And it's so hard to say "goodbye"
But yesterday's gone
We gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments
So glad I got to know you
The times that we had
I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Another chapter in the book
Can't go back, but you can look
And there we are on every page
Memories I'll always save
Up ahead on the open doors
Who knows what we're heading towards?
I wish you love, I wish you luck
For you, the world just opens up
But it's so hard to say "goodbye"
Yesterday's gone
We gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments
So glad I got to know you
The times that we had
I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Everyday that we had
All the good, all the bad
I'll keep 'em here inside
All the times that we shared
Every place, everywhere
You touched my life
Yeah, one day, we'll look back
We'll smile and we'll laugh
But right now we just cry
'Cause it's so hard to say "goodbye"
Yesterday's gone
We gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments
So glad I got to know you
The times that we had
I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you
Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah
I'll always remember you
__________
You can play "Let Her Go" by Passenger while reading this. Thank You! 🫶🏻
__________
Marvel Cast's POV:
Why?
Hearing her dark past hurts me...
I feel bad for her...
Why?
Just why!?
Of all people!?
Why does the kind one have to suffer the most pain.
Of all emotions...
She chose to laugh...
Of all facial expressions...
She chose to smile...
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Pain held no terror for her.
Pain was, if not friend, then family, something she had grown up with in her crèche, learning to respect but never yield to.
Pain was simply a message, telling her which limbs she could still use to slaughter her enemies, how far she could still run, and what her chances were in the next battle.
She went through a lot but still manages to make people happy.
She's the strongest human being I have ever met.
"Oh my god. What's wrong with you guys? Did you guys like the song though?" Y/N asks
"The song was meaningful." Robert replies
The song really means something...
It can make you feel and remember the memories from your friends from the past.
"I know right!?" Y/N states
"What is the song really about though... Like what meaning did you get from it. And what kind of song is it." She adds
"The song is about a person who is saying goodbye to her friends and partner as they prepare to go their separate ways and start a new chapter in their lives." Lizzie replies
"She reflects on all the happy memories they shared together and how hard it is to say goodbye." Scar adds
"However, she is grateful for the moments they had and will cherish them forever. She knows that they will always remember each other, even if they are no longer together." Karen adds
"It's like a goodbye and move on but never forget each other kind of song." Jeremy states
"Wow, that's awesome and unexpected.. I didn't really think that someone was listening to me while I was singing... You were all zoned out so I'm not sure if you heard me sing..." Y/N states
"We're multitasking you know?" Her brother states
"Hey!" Y/N yells
"What?" Her brother states confused
"That's Natasha Romanoff's line. Don't steal it from her." Y/N states
"Black Widow's lines only and will only belong to her, Capsicle." Y/N states sarcastically
"Don't you dare call my character Capsicle." Her brother states joining the sarcasm then we all laugh
"Who's your favorite marvel character?" Robert asks
"Guess who?" Y/N asks
"Me? Obviously." Robert replies
"Haha wrong! You're being delusional." Y/N states and we all laugh
"See? I made you guys laugh. Just laugh don't be sad or cry." Y/N states
She did make us laugh.
How?
After everything that had happened and she still made us laugh.
"Why can't we be sad?" Jeremy asks
"Because sad in reverse is das." Y/N states leaving us all confused
"And Das not good." She adds making us laugh again
"Since when did you become a joker?" Hailee asks
"Since when did you become a joker?" She replies
"Dude, Seriously?" Hailee states
"Dude, Seriously?" Y/N copies her one more time
"Fine, sorry. How did I became a joker? I ate the brain of Harley Quinn's boyfriend." She stated and we all laugh
"By the way, if you feel bad for me, don't. I'm fine. Why would I tell you my past if I wasn't okay?" She adds
"But you've been through a lot... How can you still manage to smile? Or even laugh? Or even make people happy around you." Her brother states
"Pain only makes us stronger. People might say it makes them weak but for me... It makes me stronger." She replies
"Can you just guys relax? I'm alive aren't I?" She adds
"I'm laughing and smiling because I managed to survive my cruel past. So can we just be happy that I'm happy?" She states
"Can you guys wipe your tears? I love watching you guys laugh... It makes me happy and I hate seeing you guys cry." Y/N states making our hearts warm
"How did you get pass all of it? What thoughts were in your head during the hard times you've been through." Scar asks
"Try to look at the painful moments in life as giving you strength rather than taking it from you. Embrace the pain and then release it. Learn from it and then move on from it. Don't continue to dwell on it or carry it around with you or you will never fully heal from it. Pain is a part of life and the challenge is to break through it!" Y/N replies with a bright smile on her face
"But can you escape from it?" Lizzie asks
"No one escapes pain, fear, and suffering. Yet from pain can come wisdom, from fear can come courage, from suffering can come strength - if we have the virtue of resilience." She replies
Since when was she good at talking?
"We must learn to suffer what we cannot evade; our life, like the harmony of the world, is composed of contrary things, and one part is no less necessary than the other." Y/N states
"Always remember that a character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." She adds
"So are you guys okay now? Are we all good?" She asks
"Mhmm." We all hummed
"Guys I need words." She states crossing her arms
"Yes, we're good." We all reply
"If that's the case, we should all go home now. It's getting dark and I still have a date to prepare." Y/N states
__________
Y/N's POV:
"What date?" Robert asks
Oh shoot.
"Dinner. I meant dinner... Not a date. A DINNER." I reply stupidly
OH MY GOD.
"Uhuh... Is it really a dinner?" My brother asks
Uhmm-
Maybe?
It's like a date..
Wait what?
Date?
Dinner!
Bruh.
What the fuck.
I would love to go on a date with them though.
Uhh-
Yeah.
Maybe I can-
Bro what-
"Are you blushing?" Karen asks pulling me out of my thoughts
"Me?" I ask confused
"Obviously, your cheeks are glowing red." Karen replies
I then put my guitar in its case.
"Haha bye!" I yell after putting my guitar back to its case
"Wait! Kid!" Robert states
Oh great.
"What now dad?" I ask as I slowly turn my gaze on him
"Don't be late at the party on Saturday." He states
Party?
Huh?
What party?
"Party?" I ask confused
"Yup. 8:00 pm. Here. All marvel casts are going to be here." He replies
"Party about what?" I ask again
"You." My brother states
"Me?" I ask still confused
What the fuck is going on?
"Kevin always throws a party when a new cast joins." Karen states
"I got mine before and it was awesome!" Lee yells
Okay?
I think it's too much...
But it's Kevin...
So...
I don't think-
"I'll be there. See you guys there." I state turning my gaze back on the door and walk towards it but I stop
"What will be the theme?" I ask
"Marvel theme." Anthony replies
"I don't have a Marvel costume." I reply and he laughs
"He meant it's a 'wear anything you want' theme." Flo states
"Right. Okay thanks for letting me know! Bye!" I state running towards the door
"Bye!" They all greet and I immediately ran to my car
Oh-
My-
God!
A party?
With all the cast?
Nah.
I don't think I should go.
My doctor did tell me to rest...
So...
Yeah...
Rest...
Sorry in advance I guess...
__________
Oooh...
Party?
Will Y/N attend the party?
Or not?
If she will... What do you think will happen?
So?
How was this chapter?
A bit weird chapter...
Was it great?
Sorry it took so long...
Writing is a bit hard that's why it's taking so long to finish one chapter.
I'll try my best making the next chapters amazing!
Thank you for all your support!
I love you guys!
See you on the next chapters!
Thank you for all your patience in every chapter.
I highly appreciate it.
Bye for now.
