We would close our ears and hold hands, this brought us some sort of comfort. Hayden would tell me to look at him and then he'd start to sing and it helped it made me forget where I was, when he sang it was like the whole world disappeared and it was just the two of us.

We were in our own little world when they started fighting and that's why I thought my family was perfect but it wasn't... Hayden made it perfect, he made it perfect for me and when he left there was no one to hold my hand when they started shouting. There was no one who sang to distract me and this caused me to dig a deeper hole and when I woke up I couldn't get out of the hole because it was too deep and too dark. But when it all stopped, when they separated things got better and I accepted it. I accepted that I won't have a proper family and that my life would always be difficult and different.
