Chapter Text
Harry woke up one day in the cupboard
He thought to himself, *No more, I'm done. I don't know why my family hates me so much so I'm gonna ask.*
Asking was not easy, he had spent years putting it off already.
Thinking to himself * Maybe they don't hate me,
maybe this is just how family works,
maybe I need to try harder.
Be more understanding, be more patient.
Maybe if they just don't have the space or time to try so If I try to make things better for them, it will make things better for us too.*
But It never got better.
They were always angry, they were always yelling, sometimes they would turn on him when he wasn't even doing anything at all.
They would curse at him, they would talk about all the people they liked more than him but never let him meet or be friends with anyone that came around.
They would put him away. Find him later, like an afterthought and never tell him anything.
They would whisper their nightmares to him.
They would grab him hard, hard enough to hurt, to bruise and then act like it was his fault for being difficult.
" If you had just listened, If you would do what your told, if you would stop messing up all the time, stop talking, stop being around"
They didn't say the last one, but it was implied, wasn't it? You weren't imaging this hatred, you aren't arguing with them for no reason, you were not trying to argue at all!
And no one else would notice. Everyone else has their own problems and they didn't need yours.
"You're always quiet and helpful but god when you open your mouth talk to much and you are so needy. Why do you keeping asking for the same things?"
" Why are you always so picky? Can't you just eat what's around? If you won't eat that, you won't eat at all. Why won't you eat?! Do you want attention? Are you trying to get sick? Why are you always in your room (cupboard)? You're not allowed to go anywhere go out and you don't need too."
.... And he says out loud " I'm going to ask why they hate me, I'll scream it if I have too, but I need to know or I'm going to go insane."
