The boy''s name is Halsey Yona Vega, and he just lost his mother recently. He was currently slumped in his computer chair doing and amounting to nothing.


    He heard his father was moving in with him. He knew instantly that he could never love the man. For so many years his mother was all that really mattered to him. Gave him genuine support and love and enlightened him why he had such a weird name as "Halsey Yona". His mom said it was wordplay. Hal-see Yoh-na is the way it''s pronounced. It took him until he was 7 years old to realize the word is "Halcyon". How could he do all that now? His happiness was not ideal and his calm was more like depression. And now his so-called father barged into his life with the subtlety of brutes.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

    "Halsey? Are you there?"


    He gritted his teeth and shouted out,


    "No!"


    He didn''t hear a knock after that. He heard the neighbor''s cat mewl softly. He might have roused and riled them. He didn''t care. But he heard a baby start mewling too. He felt a bit guilty after that.


    "Who the fuck is this stranger staring at? Dad, my ass..."


    He felt so bitter with nothing to vent on, so he righted his posture and went back to peering at the computer screen preoccupied with everything and nothing.
