After work I went straight home. I opened the door and found my father passed out drunk on the couch. My mother sat at the kitchen table smoking.

"Hand over the tips." My mother said puffing out smoke. Both of my parents dont have jobs. Sometimes they end up with money and I really dont want to know how they end up with it. I have to work most of the time and they always take my earnings. Great parents huh?

"I dont have any." I anwsered cautiously. I always try to hide some of my tips I get so I can buy things I need. Its not like my parents care about me anyway.

"Ned, check her." Suddenly my father was awake. He grabbed my arm and started searching my pockets. He pulled out two dollar bills and my mother sneered. She called me a name and my father proceeded to punch me in the face. I pushed him off of me and ran upstairs. I earned five dollars today so I hid three dollars and just incase they didn't believe me they found the other two dollars. I put the three dollars into my stash and locked it away in my closet. I taped the bag of money on the inside of a dress I never wear. I actually had multiple bags hidden all over the place incase my mother found some money. So far I have $200 saved up. I looked into the bathroom mirror and saw a huge bruise forming on the side of my face. I dont have any makeup to cover it up. I would buy some but if my mother found it she would just steal it from me. I got into the shower and started washing my hair.
