It had been half past five in the afternoon and Luke had gone home about a half hour ago..so I decided to call Michael and check in on him and see how he's doing.


I held the phone to my ear for a few seconds as I heard the blaring of the ringing sound in my ear then a very cheerful voice pop up into the phone's receiver.


"Lily!!" He spoke loudly. "I miss you, Mikey." "I miss you more, but good news, I was actually gonna text you and tell you!" That got me a bit excited. "What is it?" I asked. "I'm flying back into Florida! I don't wanna be here for another three weeks and be around sad people.. so I'm flying in early and I'll see you on Monday afternoon!" He shouted into the phone. "OH MY GOD THAT'S SO GREAT I CAN FINALLY HUG YOU AFTER SO LONG!"


"SAME OH MY GOD. OKAY I'M GONNA GO PACK, ILL CALL YOU LATER." He said before quickly ending the call.

And once my dad got home with mom..


..is when all the fucking problems start.


I didn't tell mom about the other night because she's already up to her chin with work from her job and I didn't feel like upsetting her. But dad on the other hand...


"So who's, Richy?, Angela?" Here we go again. "Dad, drop it." I butted in. "You're not much of a husband, so I don't see why you would care." I chuckled. "I don't know why I raised you. You're an ungrateful piece of shit." He spat in my face. "Then leave. The door is right there." I smiled bitchily. "Fuck you all." He said laughing and leaving. "Honey." My mom ran to me and hugged me tight. "Pack his shit and give it to him please. File a fucking divorce, I hate him mom." I said. "I will honey, I will."
