*Vivienne sniffles and she says in a quiet voice, burying her face on his shoulder, her voice shaky* Y-you don't understand, grandpa... everyone hates me and thinks I'm weird and that I don't belong in this school... *She says, her voice breaking as tears stream down her cheeks and she can't stop crying* I-I just want to make him proud, I want to be good enough for him...
*Mason's heart aches, and he just holds her tighter, his hand continuing its steady, comforting motion on her back.* Oh, my sweet girl... *His voice is a low rumble of love and fury at the world's unfairness.* You don't need his approval. You are good enough, exactly as you are.

Oh, sweetheart...
*Vivienne sniffles and she wipes away her tears, hiding her face in her hands, trying to hide her emotions, but she can't hide her shaking hands and her trembling lips, she's trying so hard to not break down in front of him, but it's too much for her.* I-It's just... I-I want to make him proud... *She whispers in a shaky, broken voice, her voice almost a whisper* A-And maybe... just maybe... he will like me... *She whispers, her voice breaking again, and she just can't hold it in anymore and she just starts crying, burying her face in his shoulder, holding onto him tightly, shaking*
*Mason's arms wrap around her instantly, holding her close. His hand gently strokes her back, a steady, comforting presence.* Oh, sweetheart... Your worth isn't measured by his approval. *His voice is a low murmur.* You are loved, just as you are.

An A+ doesn't define your worth.
*Later that day... Vivienne was in the kitchen, working hard on some math problems too hard for a girl her age, despite she couldn't fully understand what thes equations were, they never existed before, not even when her grandfather Mason was younger. She was really trying her best, it was 7 PM and she really wanted to get a good grade.*
*Mason walks in, leaning against the doorframe with a soft, concerned smile.* Hey there, sweetheart. *He watches her for a moment.* Those problems look awfully complicated. How about a break?
*Vivienne sighs and she says in a quiet voice, doing the face palm thingy with her hand on her forehead, before going back to try and understand the math problems, because it's advanced maths and she's only 14 years old to understand such very hard numbers, letters etc.* No, grandpa Mason, it's fine, I promise... *She pauses, hiding her hands in her sleeves as when she does when she's anxious or upset or overwhelmed* I just need to get the equation right and... *She pauses again, starting to get very overwhelmed but she tries to hide it and hide her emotions by looking down at her notebook.*

Frederic started it first...
*Vivienne sniffles and she falls in his arms, sobbing on his shoulder uncontrollably, telling him everything they did to her at school, and the boys who harmed her in a not very nice way in the locker room and how they now Insult her..*
*Mason's arms tighten around her, a protective and furious instinct flaring to life. He rocks her gently, his cheek pressed to her head.* I'm so sorry, Vivi. I'm so, so sorry. *His voice is a low, steady murmur.* We're going to make this right. I promise.
*Vivienne sighs and she says in a quiet voice, burying her face in his shoulder, shaking* N-no... I don't want to be in trouble or get you involved, and besides- *Suddenly, Vivienne's little brother, Leo, who's 10 years old, walks in with a bruise under his eye and he says in a quiet voice, his cheeks teary.* G-Grandpa Mason...

Leo is hurt too?!
*Vivienne sniffles and she keeps sobbing, freezing as she feels his hand on her shoulder, quickly lowering her sleeves, and covering her legs too, so that he can't see the bruises, but those on her face are very visible.*
*Mason's gaze softens with heartache, and he deliberately looks away from the bruises to focus on her eyes.* Sweetheart, look at me. *His thumb gently strokes her shoulder.* You don't have to show me. But please, let me help.
*Vivienne sniffles and she slowly raises her sleeves and lowers her socks, revealing bruises and marks she got at school, she looks down, feeling very ashamed and guilty for not being able to protect herself.*

*It's 8 AM, and Mason is in the kitchen, sitting at the table, reading the newspaper.*
*Vivienne is only 6 and years old and she is his granddaughter, she has brown long hair always tied up in a ponytail with a white hair ribbon tied around it, big brown eyes, she has autism but she's not as serious as some other kids, she's just very sensitive to loud noises and she has a hard time communicating with other kids. Vivienne walks in from the front door in the living room, her head is down, her hair is messy, and it's never messy, she has bruises on her face, arms and legs too, she drops her backpack and she then runs to her room, closing the door, falling on her knees and starting to cry.*
*looks up from the newspaper, heart dropping at the sight of her bruised face before swiftly following to her room, voice gentle* Vivi? Sweetheart, can you let me in? *kneels by the door* I won’t ask questions yet, just…let me hold you.

Summertime Sadness...
*Isabella sniffles and she buries her face on his shoulder, and she whispers in a quiet voice, as her tears run down her cheeks* I-I'll being strong, dad...
*Mason holds her close, he can feel her trembling and he knows that she's trying to be strong. He says in a comforting voice* It's okay to be sad sometimes, dear. You don't have to be strong all the time.

Isabella's nostalgia...
*Isabella nods her head and she giggles* Mh!
*Mason smiles and he says in a playful voice* I remember when I was a kid, we had to listen to music on the radio or on records. *He shakes his head in amazement* Technology has come a long way since then.
*Isabella smiles sadly as she remembers the good old times, and she sets her phone down on the counter, walking over to the living room, and sitting down on the couch, looking down at her hands, sighing, she's probably feeling a little bit of nostalgia, or something else, but she tries not to show it.* *Lorenzo tilts his head confused and he watches her from his high chair, with his big blue eyes.*

Radio or records or phone?
*Isabella winks and she says in a playful voice* And also! You can put on some funny and silly filters on this Snapchat app and share them with us! *she pauses, opening the snapchat and selecting a funny filter, then taking a picture of herself and him together and she shows it to him* Like this! See?
*Mason laughs and he says in a playful voice* That's so funny, dear. I love it! *He looks at the picture and he can't help but smile, he loves seeing his daughter happy and enjoying herself.*
*Isabella laughs and she then opens another app and she says in a gentle and caring voice* And I always love trying new apps and games! Such as this one, which is used to download songs for free and listen to them!
