Louise had a pretty normal life growing up, but as she got older, things got weirder...

Hi, I'm Louise and I'm 7 years old, I live with my mom, dad and my big brother Layne, sometimes I play with my parents but I mostly play alone, My mom and dad are often busy with work and writing 'Articles' about everyday things, but sometimes when I look at them, I don't see my kind and caring parents.....I see stressed, Abusive, and angry monsters. I wanna know what's going on, but no one will tell me. "Louise come downstairs dinners ready!" Layne called from downstairs "Coming!" I said as I put my toys in my toy box. I ran downstairs and sat at the table, some days it would only be Layne and me but now, it's an everyday thing "Why haven't you touched your food, Lou?" Layne asked me I looked at him "I'm just thinking about mom and dad" I said playing with my food, "Well, don't worry too much okay? Everything will go back to normal soon" he said smiling at me "Promise?" I said hopefully, "Promise" he reached over and ruffled my hair, I started eating but stopped as soon as I looked at Layne's arms they were covered with bruises "Layne," I said cautiously, "Yes Lou?" He said flashing me that fake smile I could always see through "Roll up your sleeves" I said looking at his arms "Why?" He asked nervously "Roll them up. Now." I said firmly looking up at him with sadness, he sighed and rolled his sleeve up I gasped, "Who did this to you?!" I asked panicking "It isn't important Louise," he said letting teardrops fall from his eyes "Just let it go, I'm protecting you for the great or good," he said pulling his arm back "What do you mean?" I said shaking, I wanted to know who was responsible for this, for hurting the only one who stuck by me, my actual caregiver, he may be 16 but he's done more than our parents have combined "Wait until tomorrow, then I'll tell you" he said leaving the table, I watched him as he held his arms wincing every time his arms brushed a newly fresh cut.
