As soon as I opened the door I immediately heard my parents arguing, my mom recently found out my father's job was going to be letting people go.

When ever my dad gets upset about something he becomes withdrawn and starts drinking excessively, honestly I hate when I hear my parents fight because when things get out of control I'm always the one stuck in the middle countless times things between my parents has gotten physical.

Nobody knows what I've seen,ever since I was little I always pretended it didn't affect me but what 9year old wants to witness their mother being beaten by their father.

I have alot of angry towards my parents because I feel No man should raise their hand to a woman and I feel No woman should allow herself to be abused.

Don't get me wrong I know sometimes it's hard to find the strength to leave but what I don't get is Why make excuse after excuse for the asshole who wants to be a coward instead of having self control.

I hurried up and ran upstairs to take a shower and change my clothes, I texted Andrew and told him I'd be coming over alittle early he texted me back instantly and said ok.

It took me twenty minutes to get to Andrew 's house, When I got there a lady answered the door.

" Hello sweetheart you must be Brielle, Im Andrew's mom Carla.

" Nice to meet you Ms Carla I said as we went into the living room and sat down.

" Would you like something to drink sweetie? she asked.

" Yes please I replied as she went into the kitchen.

" Here you go she said handing me some lemonade .

" Thank you I said as Andrew came downstairs.

After I finished my lemonade Andrew and I went up to his room , we finished our papers and talked for awhile.

" Your mom is sweet I like her I said as I sat on his bed .

" I think she likes you too bri, you're the only female she's been nice to.

Andrew 's mom invited me to stay for dinner, I was glad because I didn't want to go back home right now.

After everyone got done eating I helped clear the table and wash the dishes, the moment I was dreading came I said bye to Ms Carla and Drew walked me home.

When I got home the door was unlocked but nobody was there, I looked around to see if anything was missing or broken everything appeared normal until I went upstairs and opened my room door.

Everything was all over the place like a tornado had occurred, I was just about to go back down stairs when I heard foot steps and unfamiliar voices.

At first I thought it was a robbery but then I heard one of the guys say my dad's name , I kept listening and I found out that these guys were hired to kill my father and hurt Andrew.

I need to figure something out fast, I packed some clothes and what ever else I needed and waited until I knew the coast was clear and then I left , I needed to find a place to go I didn't have much options
