Lyric

I'm small, I can tell because of how I fit on the stairs of my house. Most people can't sit like this. It's how I get away with spying on my dad. I don't do it often because, when he catches me, he's super mad, but I heard a noise and now I can't sleep.

This is a familiar dream—one I hate having. No one likes reliving one of the most traumatic nights of their life. There may not be much of a soul left in me, but that doesn't mean I'm completely immune to having my heart torn to shreds, and even though I know what my mind is about to show me, I’m powerless to stop it. I’ve never been able to wake myself from this dream. I just have to endure.

The wall of the staircase protects me from being obviously seen, even though I sit one stair below where it ends, and the fact that my dad's office door is open lets me see in. I'd love to dance in there. With the big mirror behind his desk, I bet I'd be able to see everything. It would be like being at the studio without having to dance with all the other girls. Dad won't let me in his office, though. He claims it's for adults only, but he lets Lyssa in.

A man moves down the hall with his hand on my mom's shoulder, pushing her in front of him. A shiver runs down my spine, and I must have made a noise or something because he turns and looks at exactly where I'm sitting. His eyes lock on me, even in the dark, and he puts his finger to his lips. Silently telling me to keep quiet.

I don't know why, but I want to obey him, my small mind reeling with ideas of what might happen if I don't. What if he breaks my pointe shoes? Or worse, what if he hurts Mrs. Snugglebites? My little heart starts racing at the thought. Mrs. Snugglebites is the only thing I don't have to share with Melody. I can’t let anything happen to her, so no matter what, I’ll stay quiet.

The door to my dad's office swings wide, the light spilling into the hallway and up the stairs. Normally, I'd worry about my dad seeing me, but he's focused on my mom and the strange man. His eyes are wide and his eyebrows are high, like he's scared, but my dad's not scared of anything, so I don't understand.

"You had plenty of time to make your payments, but you didn't. Did you think he would forget? That'd you'd be given as long as you wanted to pay him back? The terms were clear. You agreed to them. You even got a warning, which is more than most, and still, you haven't paid him back." The man holding my mom's shoulder is angry. I can hear it in his voice and see it in his face in the mirror. He looks like he’s disgusted with my dad.
