The Monsters Under My Bed

Chapter Six

I put on my dress and got my bookbag and left Felix to go to the living room and do my homework. All of a sudden. BANG! The door swings open. It's my father he looks different, he looked, drunk. He came stumbling in. He drank way too much he triped, fell and laughed alittle and got back up.

"HEY PRECIOUS! HOW'S SCHOOL?"

"Dad, w-what hapened with you?"

"I went with meh friends and had a few drinks and then drove home." He said as he hugged he with his alcohol filled breath.

"So you drove home drunk?! Dad, you could have died!"

"Yeah, so?" He took another drink of vodka that was in his hand." What do you care?"

"Actually, Dad I DO care cause' your the only family that I have!" I took the bottle of whiskey out pf his hand."I dont know why but your acting like a idiot! What's wrong with you?!"

"OH, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY ANASTASIA!" He came up close to my face. "Dont you EVER talk to me like that again or it wont be pretty for you. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?!"

"-gulp- Crystal clear."

"Ugh, sound just like your mother," He paused and remembered that she was dead. "Just do what ever you want as long I dont see your face."

I took my pocket book from my bookbag and opened the door. I turned to see my father laying down on the couch and drinking his bottle he took from my hand. I closed the door and locked it and saw Ash waiting for me at my mail box. I walk up to him.

"Hey Ash, ready?" I acted happy to go.

"Yeah, but is everything alright?" He pointed at my house with his thumb. "I was about to knock on the door but then, I heard yelling, was that your Dad?"

"Uh, no, I think your hearing things Ash, haha!"

"Oh, maybe I am! Ha! Lets go shall we?" He stuck his hand out and bowed like a "gentleman".

"We shall." But I didn't hold his hand and left him hanging.

"Hey,uh, wait!" He caught up to me and we were walking to the pier.
