A Whole to Piece by Piece

Chapter 1 : Bleeding Words

That one night I can't ever forget. That was the first time I really saw my parents had a real arguments. The words that better left unsaid, was out by their mouths.

I remember that day. Both of them just pick me up from the school camp and we go straight to eat at McDonald's. When I got home, I go take a bath and put on some PJ's and go to bed earlier. Around 8 at night I woke up and I intend to ask my mom for a food. But I saw her in the kitchen making some a lemon and soy sauce and mix it together. I ask her why she make it, and she said it'll help to relief her throat. She ask me if I want some, and I said no because I can't stop thinking how bad it would taste like.

Not long enough after that, my dad came from the backyard and ask my mom the same thing as I watched make that lemon and soy sauce thing.

Me and my dad wasn't that close. We're once that close, like a real father and daughter but as the time flies, there is this little unseen gap between me and him and it happen to my sister too.

I go to my bedroom just to take a little nap, but I heard a sounds that seems like a plate just falls and broken. I went to the kitchen just checking out if everything was okay, but it wasn't. I saw the plate shatter around the floor, and a smell of a mix of lemon and soy sauce around that shatter plate. I look up at my parents that yelling at each other for things that seems blurred to me.

My brother wasn't at home at that time. I was 11 and my sister was 12, and we can't do anything about it.

I heard some bad things that was came out from my mom and dad mouth. I just eat the omelete and go back to my bedroom and try to sleep and not thinking about that accident.

I thought everything was going to be back to normal because both of them always find out a way to recover from their arguments. But I know that this argument was different because I watch my mom trembling so hard. I just thinking that maybe this time is worst but they always find a way to recover.
