Time to get my feels out and write my favorite AK.

Warning: mentions of suicide, cutting, depression, child abuse, you know, what you usually expect from me.

They don't understand. They call me out.

{You're such a jerk}

{Nobody likes you}

{Shut up, loser}

{You're stupid}

{I bet even your mommy and daddy don't care}

My parents don't even care. They care about fame. Money. Thrones. Which is weird, considering who my mom is.

Everyone hates me. They don't sit with me at lunch, instead throwing paper balls and food at my face. I only reply with disgust.

[Hey! You got my suit dirty!]

{Like anyone cares}

{Just look at it. It's weeks old. Out of fashion}

{Yeah, you're right!}

[No it's not! It's brand new! I just got it!]

Where was I again? Oh right. My parents.

Mom is better of the two. She sometimes cares about me. I am her son after all, and there are moments when she will help me. But mostly, she's to focused on royal paperwork and whatnot. She's not around a lot.

Dad hates me. He looks at me as a failure. I'm not the smartest, or most athletic kid. He drills rules into me to follow, or else I become little more than his slave for the day. I've been whipped and beat before. Many times.

{Ha! It wouldn't surprise me if he's getting it as bad as those disgusting villains!}

{No, he is a villain}

{You're right}

I guess the only people I could ever seek comfort in anymore is Jim and John. Well, they're not people. Their part of Jaq's litter, as in, Jaq and Gus-Gus.

Anyway, they're the only ones that can talk me through things.

Things like cutting myself.

Things like telling myself I'm worthless.

Things like pondering suicide three times a day.

John and Jim are the only lifeline I have. Nobody cares.

These are just the start of my confessions.

Chad closed his eyes, words from the day before repeating in his head.

It was another day of school. Stupid school.

"Chaddie, are you alright?" Jim asked, nuzzling his pink nose against the teen's neck. Chad petted his light silver fur, just as his darker-colored brother ran out of the son of Cinderella's sleeve.

"We're here for you, Daddy, Uncle Gus-Gus, and us. We promise. And what about that girl? Jane?" John questioned.

Chad sighed. "Not really. We don't talk much. It's alright guys, I'm okay... I guess..." the two mice scurried into his jacket pocket as he stepped in the school.

"Jerk!" Someone yelled, but was immediately silenced by another. It was either they swooned in front of him, or wanted to kill him.

"Hey, look, it's Chad Charming!"

Everyone seemed to make a path for him, moving out of the way. Even Evie scoffed, which wasn't surprising. Mal glared, but Ben had a neutral expression. He's probably even mad at me, Chad thought. Carlos and Jay only gave wary glances as he passed by, grabbing everything from his locker and avoiding the snickers. He closed the locker shut, making sure no one knew his code and started walking to class.

Someone tripped him, shouting "loser" as he fell and his books and binders went everywhere. His sleeves nearly rolled up, and he was grateful they didn't. Chad knew he'd probably be harrassed even more about that, which was not helping.

"Hey, let me help you," Chad's eyes shot up to meet Jane's. She smiled as she picked up his books and gave them to him. "They're the real jerks," she offered.

He straightened out his suit, forcing his face to morph back into the "I'm popular" look. "Yeah, thanks," he said, quickly brushing past her.

No one got to see the real him. Except Jim and John. But Jane wasn't allowed.

Chad couldn't let anyone see his brokenness.

He couldn't.

Meanwhile, Ben watched the whole scene unfold. He swore he saw a bit of acewrap peeking out from Chad's sleeve, but he wasn't sure.

Whatever it was, he was going to get to the bottom of it.

1) This shall be a short story. Five chapters is my limit. Just a little side-project. And the shortness of this chapter was intentional.

2) Expect slow updates. I have other stories to get to but this is promising plot to work with.

3) Chad has more potential. He's my favorite AK and favorite DD 1 Character. I love him and think his portrayal in DD 2 was terrible and mean.

4) If you have a problem with 3, fight me.

That's all for now! And yep, the last chap to SWP will probably come out this weekend.
