I can hear the pitter patter of the rain outside my window. The sound of the rain hitting the glass somehow soothes me. There is no more yelling just silence. The house is completely quiet.

I sit there just staring at the wall listening to the ran. Deep in thought about what to do next. Do I leave? Or do I stay?

If I leave now I will have no where to go, but if I stay and wait I can come up with a plan to leave.

The yelling picks up. Their voices are echoing through the whole house. My mom and dad always do this. They think I never hear anything but in reality I hear every little thing. I don't understand why they don't just get a divorce already they hate each other and then staying together only makes things worse for Hailey, Kysaac and I.

It's like clock work the fighting and screaming. Hailey always runs to my room and a few minutes later Kysaac walks in and joins us. We sit there and just listen waiting for it to stop.

Tonight it never did. It just got worse things were broken, thrown against the wall. You could hear the shatters of glass from outside.

Hailey is only 4 years old, Kysaac is 18, and I am 16. Kysaac and I are really close we would do anything for each other. So when I told him I was planning on leaving he decided he wanted to come too. The only thing that makes leaving hard is leaving hailey. She would be all alone with the fighting and screaming. I want to take her with me but mum would never have that. My dad is always the one who starts the fights. He always comes home drunk off is arse and blames every little thing on mum. She doesn't deserve this none of us do.
