Ivy's pov :

I sit on the cold porch, my dad walks down the drive. I light my cigarette thinking, It's 9pm he's been getting home a lot later than he should be lately.  He's not done it again has he? No he wouldn't betray mom like that surely? They were just getting good again. I bring the cigarette to my lips inhaling.

"Hey kiddo..." he sits next to me. "Hey Dad..? Where have you been?" I look at him questioning, Hes staring at the floor his eyes red as if he's been crying. No please no, I can't deal with all the shouting again. All the arguments and Maple and Theo are still so young they need their parents. Theres no way they're getting out of this one.

"Dad- please.. tell me you haven't been doing... it again" I try so hard to get the words out with out crying. "I'm sorry kiddo". Tears roll down my cheeks. Why can't he just be a good father and husband for once? Doesn't he love her? He's supposed to love her.

I stand up putting my cig out and start walking away from him . Tears roll down my cheeks as I walk to the nearest club. A drink will fix this, at least for now and it'll help me forget about things. I'll sort the rest all out tomorrow.

"Diet Coke vodka please" I say to the waitress. I sit at a stall next to the bar, I just need to stop thinking about everything for a few hours. I need to tell mum- but maple and Theo. Maybe dad will tell her himself. I can only hope. My phone buzzes.

Dad: hey kiddo, I was just thinking and we haven't had any time together lately. Maybe we could go shopping to that place you like tomorrow?? The vinyl shop I think??

Of course he'll buy me stuff as a way to apologise. That's how he and mum have always been. They never say sorry when they do something wrong or even try to comfort me when something bad happens they just use money to get out of it.

I remember when I was 9 and dad and mum were   Arguing. It was around the time dad cheated for the first time. One night he stormed out and got really drunk. When he got back he was barely able to walk. Mum was tired and pregnant with  Theo. All she did was ask him to just leave it for one night and he started screaming. He hit mum, I tried to stop him and then he slapped me. My cheek was bleeding and mum was screaming for me to just go to bed. I remember maple who was only 4 at the time crying and me putting my headphones on her to help her get back to sleep.

After he had stormed out again that night and hadn't come back until the afternoon the next day. He walked in as if nothing had happened and took us all out for dinner that night. Mum just ignored it and acted as if nothing had happened and as if she and her husband were the perfect parents and we were the perfect family.
I shake off the memories and start typing a response.

Me :
Dad please don't do this to all of us again, you have to tell mum. If you don't I will.

Dad:
You won't tell her anything. You leave this stuff to the adults. Cmon why don't we go at 1:00 tomorrow? It'll be like the old times.

Me :
Dad please stop. I'm not keeping it a secret for you again and letting you buy me things as a bribe just tell her.

Dad :
What did I say? This will stay between me and you. Don't you dare tell your mother.

I turn my phone off ignoring his ignorance as I drink the rest of my drink. "Another one?" The waiter asks. "Yes please" I respond. She places another drink infront of me I take a few sips looking around the club before a brunette woman catches my eye. She dancing with another brunette woman I think. They're clearly pretty drunk and they're grinding on each other and the other one is giggling like a high schooler whilst flipping her hair.
