Blake at the garage

Growing up Blake would witness his parents fighting and hurting each other physically. He was two when his father slapped his mom and accidentally hit Blake's eyebrow with a knife. That's why he had a scar on his left eyebrow, seems like a slash that made his look even tougher, became an asset though. 

When he grow up, Blake would hide in the garage inside an old car. He's done with fighting and chaos. That became his home for years. For whenever his inside, he feel safe and warmth and much more peaceful.

One day, Blake was 15 at this time, his parents had a fight with just over an uncooked egg. His father would not like it raw because it would upset his stomach. Unfortunately, he ate Blake's egg and that is his favorite, a sunny side up with raw yolk at the center. His father didn't know he was home because most of the time Blake is outside and not even sleep on their rooftop. He doesn't know that Blake's home was the old Cadillac of his grandfather inside the garage. Eating the raw egg made his father mad and slapped his mother. With all the yelling and crying, Blake rushed to help his mother and finally face his dad. "What's wrong with you! it's just an egg and actually your eating mine." His dad replied, "who are you to yell at me like that, you can't even buy a food to fed yourself! it's me who's been working here all the time and your mother can't even make a good meal." His father cannot contain the anger and punched him on the face. His mother rushed to him. His face was bleeding. "Mom why can't you leave him," Blake asked. "Ahmm it's nothing, mmm it was my mistake my bad, I'm so sorry." 

Blake understand that his mother won't leave his dad because she was sold by her parents to his dad's family. Her mother's family was his grandparents' servant and his father now is the head of the executor's unit.

Blake just get inside the garage, as his routine. He was lying on the backseat of the old car when he heard someone was crying. He thought of his mother, so he rushed outside. He saw a girl crying at the right side of their house. It was near the garage so he can hear it clearly. "What's the matter? Who are you? What are you doing here?" The girl didn't say a word but just continue crying.
