remember very well the day my mom left me and my dad. She screamed," YOU ARE THE WORST HUSBAND IN THIS WHOLE SHITTY WORLD!" I remember my  father smirking like an jackass. He was obliviously drunk or high, or quiet possibly both. when my mother stopped yelling at dad, she turned to me, " And you,"she started,"I knew that I should have aborted you when I had the god damn chance!" I tried to tune her out as she carried on about all what was wrong with me.

"You can stay with him!" She stormed out with her bags and drove away.
***************

I remember two days later there was a knock at the front door. I heard Dad get up, then he was talking to someone. Soon he came into my room and tells me to come to the living room . A police officer was standing by the door.He informed me that my mother had died in a car crash last night. I stay silent, I have no reaction to this, my mother did drive horrifically. I node my head,"I'm sorry." he says than leaves.

I looked at my dad he was just standing there like an idiot. "I am going to go back to my room." I said. As I started to walk away ,my dad said,"you better stay in there this time, the guys from work are coming over and you better not try to sneak out!" There was a venom in his voice. "Yeah okay dad." I replied semi-sarcastically, and (GOD DAMMIT JAMIE!)as soon as I said that I knew it was a huge mistake. He came over to me and pinned me to the wall, his breathe smelt heavily of beer and cigarettes, this time he yelled,"DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" I nodded yes, he let go but before I could leave he slapped me, and punched my rib cage three times.this makes me cough and wheeze,I suppose this was to keep me quiet. My chest and face started to hurt like hell and the tears felt hot in my eyes.
