Haunted (On Hold)

Prologue

SWOOSH

There it goes again!

Why can't it leave me alone?!?! I run into the house and slam the door.

"Brooklynn!! Quit slamming my door!!"

That was my dad, Blaz. My mom left when I was little. After that he became bitter. My mom calls me every now and then but we really have nothing to talk about, so I usually let her talk and I give an occasional 'yeah' or 'whatever' or even 'so what?'. 

"Sorry."

I kinda wished they'd put me up for adoption. Me and my parents never really talk. I didn't even tell my when I started, urm, nevermind.

"Dad, what's for dinner?" I yell

I hear him mutter under his breath. He hasn't even thought about it!! Well looks like I'll be making dinner tonight.

"Do you want me to make dinner?" I ask

"Yeah, that's fine."

I sighed.

"Okay then, what do you want?"

He'll probably want something big. Every time I cook he ask for something big.

"I want a good hearty beef soup. With lot's of beef. And I want enough to take to work for the next few days. And sweet potato pie and ice cream for dessert."

What'd I tell you. I quess I have to go to the store.

"Dad, I'm going to need some money to buy everything." 

"Then get your a-, I mean butt in here so I can give you the money!!"

Well at least he's trying to be nicer. After my mom left my dad cussed me out and blamed me for her leaving. I used to cry myself to sleep. If I ever tried to talk back to him, he'd hit. Every few weeks or so I'd go to bed with bruises. But now we've moved and he's changed a bit. But he gets so frustrated with his job. He still hits me every now and then, but..... I......Blame.........it on stress. That's my excuse.

So walked to his study and stopped at the door. I never go in unless he says it's okay.

"Get over here!"

I quickly walk over. And he gives the money.

"Get what you need to make my dinner and keep the change."

Argh! He treats me like a waitress!

"Okay, Dad."

I quickly leave the room and exit the house. When I'm outside I feel as though I can breathe. I love the outdoors! They make me feel....happy in a way. I walk to the store which is only a few blocks away.
