Its 11 at night, and mom is screaming on the top of her lungs. Dad was trying to reason with her and constantly telling her to stop screaming and that I could hear them and it's bad for me. It's a regular thing now.

My mother, Helen, always brought home her boyfriends. My dad was still alive working his butt off to provide for the 3 of us, he loved us unconditionally. But my greedy ungrateful mother never loved him, she was always out with men, drinking, going to clubs, bars, having one night stands and wasting all of dad's money on drugs. She sometimes brought her boyfriends home, what she did today. If I remember right the guy she brought in today was Adam. He is 43 . Adam always wore his jacket, which smelled like shit and beanie with cargo shorts.

I loved my dad, Jeremy, a lot. He was always worried that this ruthless behavior of mother's will effect me in some way. He constantly tried to keep me safe and happy, and do what is best for me. He was there for me when Helen was not, he made sure I went to school properly and did my studies. Dad was and still is, my comfort place.

I was pulled back to earth with soft knocks on my door followed my dads voice. "Eli darling, are you in there?"
"Yeah, dad ? "

He opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind him. He walked over to the corner of my bed and sat there.

"Darling, she's high and brought Adam with her. I know how Adam's presence makes you uncomfortable, so I tried to tell her to go somewhere else with her boyfriend. But she won't listen."

"Dad, its okay. Don't worry too much I'm fine. Besides its going to affect your health."

"No sweetheart, you don't understand. It's not okay. I can't let this happen. Do you have someone to stay at?"

"I think I do, but why?"

"Good, because I think you should leave for a few days. I'll call you when everything is fine again."

"But I can't just leave you here"

"I'll be fine, just go. And call me when you get there." He walked out of the room without letting me say anything.

I got up and started to pack my things. Then I hugged dad goodbye and left. I started walking and found a taxi. They agreed to go so I got in and took a cigar out of my pocket. I lit it and started to take small puffs.

It's almost midnight. I'm standing in front of the elevator of Sean's place. The elevator door finally opened, I walked in and pressed the 10th floor. Sean is a great guy. We are friends from childhood. He used to be my neighbor until his father's business took off. And they shifted to this luxurious apartment. He's a straight A student majored in aviation. Besides this he also has this amazing family. His parents are out of town so I can stay there for a few days and they know and adore me a lot.


I rang the door bell to his place, he was quite surprised because I didn't call before coming.

"Hey, I didn't know you were coming. Is everything alright?" Concern laced in his voice. He stepped aside to let me in.

"Hi, I'm sorry I didn't call before coming, I need a place to stay for a few days. Helen came home drunk again. And dad didn't want me to be in that mess" I said walking past him. He knows about Helen.

"Of course you can stay. You should've called me I could pick you up" said showing me the way, for what will me my room until dad calls.

"You're letting me stay here, I didn't want to make it more inconvenient for you."

I walked in room and it looked...Expensive. It had marble floors with a queen sized bed with navy blue duvet and really fluffy pillows. There was a bedside lamp table, a walk in closet with glass doors and a gigantic window. You could see the busy streets of New York through them.
This room was very different from my actual room. My room was pretty decent and cozy looking. It had purple walls and a single white bed with fairy lights above them. I also had a bookshelves on the same wall as the small window with a cozy couch. 

I changed into something comfortable then walked out the room and saw Sean sitting on the couch watching some science-fiction movie with popcorns. He noticed and offered me some of his popcorns. I was really hungry so I took it. We watched the movie and talked and laughed for some time and decided it's getting late so we should probably head to bed, which we did.
