Long Way To Go ⇴ Syndisparklez

Prologue

I wanted to scream at my mum, but I stayed quiet as she explained. How could she do this to me?! What the hell! Who the hell does she think she's pleasing?! Its definitely not me! My mum and dad have been split up for 3 years now, and it's been a constant battle between them for me. My sister Alice lives with my dad, my brother is somewhere in the world with a new family, and I've been living with my mum since the split. My mother isn't the best parent, but she tries her best. I guess that wasn't good enough for my dad...

He and my mum both want me, but they stopped fighting in court a year ago. I guess dad re-filed to get me back, and the judge orders for me to go between houses every week. What the hell! This is my life, I'm 16 and I should fucking get to stay with my mum if I want to! I'm just scared of what's going to happen to my mum whilst I'm gone.. She already drinks and overdoses on painkillers, I don't want her to take to much...

I'm supposed to leave to my dads house tomorrow morning, and I'm not happy about that. My dad doesn't live that far away, I just don't wanna see him. He ruined my mum. She use to be so happy.. But then Alice, Mum, and Myself walked in to his bed room to see him having sex with some whore, with my brother sitting in the corner. And he still says he didn't do it! He says my mother brainwashed all of us to think he did that, but we saw it. I saw it. It was real.

"I'm.. So sorry.." She choked out, I could tell she was trying to stop herself from fully breaking down. Painkillers were spread out on the table, bottles of wine sat around as well. I guess she didn't pour it.. Her phone was shattered on the floor, sinking into the stained carpet. I didn't understand... All I could do was watch my mum pop painkillers and wash them down with wine. I felt helpless, almost.

She got up, walking to her room. I heard the door slam shut, the lock echoing throughout the apartment.

I was torn. I haven't seen my sister in 2 years, but the last time I saw her, she had sided with my dad, saying he was a "great man", and that he "only made a mistake". Only made a mistake my ass. That sucker did it right in front of my brother! How could that be a mistake!? Oh yea, let's just ignore that boy in the corner and have sex on the bed RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM and make all these loud dramatic noises to SCAR him for the rest of his life, and ignore this WEDDING BAND I have around my finger. Yeah, just a mistake.
