I present to you...

Avery Eloise Greenperth

It had been nearly 9:00 p.m. when I returned home. I was about to approach the main entrance when I heard more smashing plates.

Let me guess. Fighting with each other, again.

I opened the front door and checked around to find out who was in the house. After taking off my shoes in the entryway, I walked to the living room to drop down the stuff I was carrying. Once I got to the living room, the television was still switched on.

When the shouts and plates became quieter, I turned my head to the corridor leading to the kitchen.

The silence was the thing that I always frighten.

I hurried to the kitchen when I found mum grasping a knife in her right hand, her hair dishevelled, and seated in the centre of the dinner table. I turned my attention to a different figure sitting on the floor, my father's mistress, who'd been panting rapidly. I even glare at the man taking a pitcher of water from the fridge.

I sighed.

I walked toward the direction of my mother, who happened to be severely panting, and slowly took the knife off her hands and placed it back in the cupboard. I sat directly next to her, and she riveted her gaze on me.

Her eyes.

Her eyes were full of anger and madness, tears forming in her eyes when she saw that full of worrisome on my face. "Mom," I softly called her.

Even though she left me at the toughest time, I still don't want her to feel that she's alone through these problems.

I want her to think that I'm here.

When I held her hands, tears poured out of her eyes. I smiled and brushed my chilly hands along her arms, as she inhaled softly and sniffed.

I turned my attention to the woman on the floor, embracing her knees, and the guy that had been taking water from the fridge previously and was now helping the woman.
