...
I hear slight shouting.
...
...
My eyes slowly open.
...
I'm home?
...
I look over to the other side of the room. Cerise isn't in her bed. The lights are off.
What time is it?
I hear more shouting downstairs.
"Nnnghh.." I grumble and stand up, feeling my head.
I feel dizzy, my neck feels stiff. I can't even stand straight. My head is throbbing.
"Ow.." I mumble.
I shakily go over to the door and slowly open it. The light outside sort of blinds me all suddenly and I stumble backwards a little bit.
"Hh.." I squeeze my eyes shut.
Why is the light so much brighter than usual.
The yelling downstairs died down a little, now it's just talking. My ears are ringing a little so it's hard to understand what's going on.
...
How did I get home?
...
I squint my eyes and grab the handrail to go down the stairs. Slowly making my way down.
...
"You're gonna be fired." Dad says.
"So what?! If this was frequent and he was even getting bullied in class I don't wanna work at that shit school!" Mom says.
"Honey, honey, honey, calm down, you're tense." Dad says.
"No shit I'm tense..! You should have seen how I found him! I barely even recognized him!" Mom says.
...
The light is still really sensitive to my eyes, and my ears are still slightly ringing, as well as the pain in my head but I sit there silently with my eyes squinted slightly, listening.
