These days I'm trying to stay at home as least as possible.That means I had to made up lots of excuses to leave.I was I'm just scared that Simon would try to kill me if he gets back really drunk.It wasn't so easy to made up excuses as it seemed to be.I couldn't leave too many times in a day or he would get suspicious.It was a typical Friday afternoon,and Maggie was about to finish school

"Umm Honey" I started

He groaned,not taking his eyes off the laptop he was staring at

"Do you go to pick up Meg from school or-"

"You go!" He said firmly

"Ok I got it" I quickly replied "Also,I was thinking of taking her to the park since-"

Simon suddenly shutted the laptop

"I DON'T CARE WHERE DO YOU TAKE HER,I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE BOTH OF YOU!" He shouted

I could smell the alcohol in his breath

Without saying another word,I leaved the house.While I was driving,I was still deep in thought.Like,we got married a few days ago and I'm already thinking for a divorce

After Meg finished school I took her to the park

"Mommy are you ok?" She asked,concerned

"Yes Sweetie.Why wouldn't I?"

"I dunno...You look weird"

I decided to lie.I didn't wanted her to be worried or scared or something.

"Nah it's ok"

It was almost 9pm when we decided to get back home.After all,It was already dark and Meg had to to her homework.
Well,at least Simon wasn't at home

"Mommy, where's Daddy?"
Meg asked

"I don't know" I said,and I wasn't lying

As much as I hate Simon,I don't want our daughter to grow up without a father.

After a few hours I heard a knock at the door,and I knew it was him

"Hey honey" I said

"What are you cooking?" He asked

"Just...soup" I answered

"I want pizza" he said

"Oh...well,me and Meg want to eat soup.You can buy a pizza,If you want,though"

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! WHY DON'T YOU GO AND BUY THE PIZZA?"

I could tell that he was drunk.He always is.

"I can't-"

Then,all of sudden,he pushed me,making me fall.As I touched the ground,I heard my arm crack,and I knew that I broke my arm

"Please,help me stand up and I swear I'll order the pizza" I begged him

He leaved,without saying a word
