As I walked home, I wondered if my dad would be there to meet me.

Probably not. I hadn't seen him around for almost three weeks and when I had, he had been in a drunken state, barely recognizing me.

 I opened the front door and stepped into an empty house that was void of love and laughter as it had once been.

After I cooked some pasta, I grabbed a plate and sat down to eat.

"At least some peace and quiet,"I thought optimistically while I shoved down mouthfuls of food.

Suddenly I heard a hard kick on the door followed by a burst of swearing. With a sense of dread, I pushed myself up and slowly walked towards the interruption. I felt a harsh slap on my face as I opened the door, facing the crazy man I called 'dad'. 

"Why did you lock me out of my own house, you bitch?" He slurred on his words, looked down at me, eyes emotionless. 

"Dad?" I said, my heart beat quickening. "Where have you been? What happened to you?"

"Get out of my house" was the only answer I received. "Leave me alone and go back to your fucking mum."

Swallowing back, I spoke. "Mum isn't in a place I can go Dad, even if I wanted to."

"Shut your dirty mouth before I shut it for you" he snarled. His face was twisted with hated burning in his bloodshot eyes- a look i had never seen before and never wished to see ever again.

"Dad, you know mum would hate to see you like this, in this state. Mum wou-"

"Stop talking shit about your mum. We both know she didn't give a damn about what happened or she wouldn't have left you" he shouted.

His words cut through my heart like a knife, shattering it into pieces. 

"No, you stop it! Mum didn't have a choice to stay. If she had, she sure wouldn't have gone though all the pain and agony!"

"Just shut up and get out of my sight," he bellowed as he took a huge step forward, advancing towards me. Panicking, I jumped back and then ran up the stairs, my plate of pasta long forgotten.
