Chapter 3: Broken Home

When I woke up that morning, I was at Luke's house In his basement. I sighed remembering last night sadly. I checked my phone to see surprisingly many missed calls and texts from both my parents. Must be pretty important if they are actually calling and texting me more than once.

I told Luke I had to go home, so he drove me to my house. But when we got there, we both stared at each other because we heard something. We did not expect to hear. There was screaming, things were being smashed.

"I am not leaving you when this is happening Blaze."

"I'll be okay Luke, I promise. I'll call you if I need help okay?" I looked at him. The only thing was, I was honestly worried because I had never seen my parents act like this before. I climbed out of the car, walking up the pathway and on to the porch. I slowly opened the door, watching them continue to scream at each other in the kitchen.

"Guys.." I said quietly, barely a whisper. I dropped my bag, as their heads turned round.

"Blaze, I'm sorry you have to see this, but you're dad is leaving."

"What do you mean, he's leaving? What happened?!" My heart began to beat faster. Tears brimmed in my eyes, I fiddled with my fingers not knowing what to do except walk up to them slowly

"You're father, is a cheater!" I looked u at my dad, who had sadness written in his eyes. That was the moment I realised what he did. He hurt my mum. He broke her heart.

"I'm sorry blaze,"

"No dad, I'm not the one that has a broken heart. Just..go." He looked hurt at my choice of words. He should feel hurt, he should realise the pain he's caused. So he did what he has to, he picked up the duffle bag and suitcase, slowly walking out the door. And once the door was closed, that's when my mum broke down. She slid down the wall with tears streaming down her face, this sight broke my heart.

"Mum.." I whispered as I walked over to her, sitting down beside her and hugging her side.

"I can't believe he would do such a thing!" Her voice cracked, and I felt tears coming. I've never seen my mother so.. Broken. My voice buzzed but I didn't even care who it was or what was said. My mum needs me right now. It kept buzzing so I quickly turned it off.

Monday morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I groaned in to my pillow, flipping the covers off my cold body. I went to my mums room, seeing her cuddled up to the covers, hugging her pillow. I sighed softly, closing the door again. I went to the bathroom, stripping down and hopping in to the shower.

I washed my body , then getting out. I changed in to a pair of grey ripped jeans, a black shirt and my blue flannel, with black combat boots. I grabbed my backpack bag, slinging one of the straps over my right shoulder. I went downstairs making myself breakfast. I popped a slice of bread in the toaster. I poured a glass of orange juice, just as the toast popped up.

Just as I finished eating, my phone buzzed.

Come on loser, time for hell hole🖕🏻- jules x

I laughed at her choice of words. I wrote a note to my mum,

Away for school. Wish me luck. Love you :)

I opened the door, grabbing my bag and jogging over to the car. I opened the door to the passenger seat, sighing.

"What's up?" She asked me as I put the seat belt on. Safety first kids.
