Sophia
I've been focusing on my routine trying to distract myself. Nationals are in six months and I'm definitely not ready. My phone starts ringing as I'm doing my spinning axle. I finish and skate over to the judge's podium. It's Spencer.
"Soph, where are you?"
"I'm skating, are you okay?"
"Dad showed up at the school and you know how he is, he just keeps screaming."
"I'm on my way, make sure he doesn't see you or Liam."
"Okay, I will try my best."
"Okay, I love you." I hope off the ice and quickly change, if my dad sees Liam and Spencer we're in trouble.
Ugh. I knew he would do this. It's not surprising. Finally I got to school. Liam comes running for me when he sees me.
"You gotta stay quiet okay, Squirt?" I exclaimed as I quickly put him in the car. After shutting the car door I run over to where Spencer is trying to calm dad down.
"Hey killer, why don't you go get in the car with Liam."
"But what if you get hurt?"
"I will be okay, Killer." Spencer runs to the car and gets in.
"Dad, you're drunk, you need to go home."
"I'm so so sorry Sophia, I don't know what has gotten into me." My dad is on his knees pleading with me.
"This is all your fault, you bitch!" I step back as he lunges for me. Soon he is passed out and laying on the ground. I drag him to the car and put him in the back seat.
"Are you kids hungry?"
"Yes!"
"How about milkshakes and burgers?"
Liam starts squealing and immediately stops when our dad starts to stir. Spencer has a faint smile on his lips but his mask comes down immediately after. After dropping dad off at the house and the boys at their hockey practice, I arrived at the aspen dorms.
*****
The next day I'm picking up some Italian take-out food. Finally the waitress came back over, I decided to order two baked zitis, and a house salad. I grab my order and head back to my apartment that I share with Vivian.
"Hey Viv, do you want anything from the "La Bell Tela."
"Sure, can you get me the baked ziti?"
"Already did, I have a favor to ask?"
"What's up?"
"Can the boys have a sleepover with us?"
"Of course, I will get the cots set up."
"Thank you, viv."
"Of course, love you."
"Love you too."
My apartment is located in the Aspen house dormitory. I take the elevator up to the third floor. Finally I got into the apartment. Vivian meets me at the door to take the food and our drinks. She turns on the tv and turns on "my life with the walter boys." We eat and then I head to pick up the boys. After settling them in their cots, I head out to the living room.
"Do you want to go to a party?"
"I can't, the boys are sleeping."
"I already asked Ally to watch them. Please come."
"Alright fine, but we can't be gone for too long."
