Sitting up in my bed, I rub my tired eyes and grab my blanket to wrap around me as I get off the mattress.
My bare feet touch the cold floor, a crack in the doorway exposing some light into my room. I yawn, opening my door and looking towards my parent's room.
It's wide opened.
More loud noises sound from downstairs. Curiously, I walk down the stairs, my hand grabbing onto the railing when I almost trip over my blanket.
"He's our kid!" I hear my dad shout. "How the hell can you say that?"
"What!" My mom screams. "Is it so wrong for me to want you to choose?"
"Between my son and wife? Yes. Yes, that is cruel!"
Hiding behind a wall, I listen closely to what they are saying. But I am confused.
Why is my mom making my dad choose?
I wouldn't be able to choose between my parents. I love them both. And I know they love me too. My dad is the nicest person ever and my mom is too. Sometimes.
"Logan, I already told you, I don't want him. I never did. But I kept him because you wanted me too," She says. "You brought this upon yourself."
"Are you even listening to yourself?" He raises his voice again.
"Choose."
"Levi." My dad answers quickly. "I choose him."
There's silence. I don't hear shouting for a few seconds. I only hear my mom and dad breathing heavily.
"Are you really going to choose him?" My mom asks, sounding angry.
I'm getting scared.
"He's my kid." My dad answers.
"And I'm your wife!" She shouts.
"You're asking me to abandon my child!" He shouts louder.
I don't want to hear them fighting anymore. I want to go to my bed and sleep. But I also want to hug my dad.
I don't know why they are fighting. I don't know why my mom is getting mad because he chose me. I guess it has to do with the fact that they are married? I don't know.
Nervously, I slowly start to walk back towards the stairs. But I only make it a few inches forward before the back of my blanket is gripped. I'm pulled backwards until my back is thrown onto the floor, harshly.
I cry out in pain, tears immediately forming inside my eyes.
"Lisa!" I hear my dad yell.
I open my teary eyes and see him in front of me. Instantly, I jump into his arms and he catches me.
"Are you okay?" He asks me, standing up and I wrap my arms around his neck.
