𝗡𝗔𝗬𝗩𝗘𝗘𝗡 sat in her bedroom as she listened to her parents argue, her knees up to her chest and her chin resting on top of them while she quickly wiped a stray tear from her cheek. times like this weren't unfamiliar to her. in fact, it was almost an everyday occurrence ever since she was an adolescent - and she was 19 now, so the fact that the arguing didn't stop spoke volumes.

Nayveen's parents always argued for as long as she could remember, and she never understood how they managed to stay married for so long. sure, they had their good times, but the bad had overweighed the good a long time ago. it was to a point where it started to affect Nayveen's mental health, and it made her realize why her older brother Nasir left almost immediately after he graduated high school.

the siblings were only a year apart, so Nayveen graduated shortly after him, and despite him moving away, he still made time to make it to her graduation, which made her forever grateful for him.

if she had money stashed away like Nasir did, she would've left as soon as he did. however, she didn't, and she was still stuck at home with her toxic parents doing an online college program.

hearing her parents' yelling pick up intensity, Nayveen started to become jumpy and her hands started to grow shaky as tears started to slip from her eyes, her breathing picking up speed while she quickly wiped her eyes with each tear that fell. she didn't even know why they were arguing, but she had a feeling she knew what the topic was: her father accusing her mother of cheating.

rumors were flooding the streets about Nayveen's mother being involved with another man, and her father heard these rumors and went ballistic. her mother constantly told him that the rumors weren't true, but his insecurities got the best of him and he was in denial that his wife was telling the truth, so he kept pressing and pressing the situation until it eventually blew up - and that's what was happening tonight.
