Niall's Pov:

I awoke to the sounds of fighting again. My parents fought constantly with each other. They screamed loudly and things were thrown on the floor. They were unhappy and for some reason, I always felt it was my fault.

But this time, the fighting was very loud and filled with angry words. I've never seen it this bad. I wanted to make sure everything was okay.

I slowly climbed out of bed and opened the door carefully, to make sure they wouldn't see me. I heard the front door slam shut. Immediately, I ran to the window to see outside.

As sure as I was, my parents were screaming on the front lawn in the middle of the night, in the quiet empty night. I just watched as faces turned red, fists began to form and veins in their necks began popping out.

My dad picked up a stick in the yard and swung at my mom in the side of the head. The stick broke into two pieces, both flying to the ground. My mom was stunned and my dad was still furious.

My mom yelled at him to leave, but he didn't. Instead, she ran inside the house to find me looking out the window. She grabbed my arm and told me we were leaving.

She took me in the car and drove for about an hour to my grandmother's house.
