"My parents are trash. How can someone be this damn fucked up?!" I mutter to myself angrily as I hear them arguing yet again as I am walking back home. Yeah, they scream so much I can hear them from right across the street. I want to smack the living daylights out of them! I am ready to barge in and scream at them to just shut up when I see two men, looking dapper, and absolutely out of place in my small and unclean living room. They're twins, only one has brown eyes and the other one green. We're all staring at each other and the sudden silence is deafening.

"What the fuck is going on here?" I say but it doesn't come out angry enough. The men look at each other and then at me and then nod at my dad. My parents look ... relieved but not quiet. I have known them long enough to know that something is off about the whole situation.

"What the hell are you two up to now?! I swear if you're asking for money or doing shady stuff ..." I threaten my parents and then look at the handsome men.

"They never pay their money back. So don't lend them any money. The house we live in is also not ours technically. It belongs to my father's creditors to whom this man still owes money- even after I have given away my college fund and to whom we pay half my salary so that we're not homeless. So, yeah, don't give them any money." I tell them and then add  "Please" as an afterthought.

They both look at me pityingly.

"You talk to her. We'll be back tomorrow." The man with the green eyes says to my father and then they both leave. They look loaded so I wonder why are they walking and if they have a car. Also, that was some nice, husky voice. I mentally shake myself to come back to the present. I can't think like this because I cannot be distracted. I need to pay my father's fucking loans off and then go to college. That's my dream. I remind myself that I will do that one day. I will go to college and out of this hellhole and make a life for myself. I work at the local accountant's firm and then at the McDonald's but only temporarily. One day I will have time to make friends and have a loving boyfriend, like normal people of my age do. And I will travel the world and try new things that I only read about now. I mentally shake myself to bring myself to the present.

The men are gone, I look out from my window and then turn to my parents.
"What the fuck is up with guys now?" I shout, half angry and half resigned. I am so done with them and their shit now.

They decide to stay quiet.

"Who were those people? Have you sold our house to them? Did you conn them? What the fuck did you do now?!

They're just looking at me like deer in a headlight.

"What?! Are you guys deaf and dumb now?!"

I throw my bag on the floor and run upstairs to my room. I can't take their shit anymore.
