Emily

Introduction

I can hear footsteps coming towards my room. I quickly but quietly run to closet to hide.
"Jesus, please don't let her hear me"
"Emily! Where the hell are you?" I can hear my mom shouting from a mile away. Her voice was always so loud.
"God dammit get your ass out here!"
I stay as quite as I can, carefully not making a peep.
"Fine. No dinner for you tonight."
I hear the door slam close and breathe in relief. I wait another 10 minutes in case she comes back again. I check my watch and its 8:30 my bedtime. I leave the closet and grab the only pjs I own. I change into them and open my door silently. I walk towards the bathroom and shut it behind me. I brush my teeth and splash my face with some cold water. I use the toilet then leave. I walk into the living room and see my mom passed out on the couch so I decide to head over to the kitchen. I open the fridge and grab milk, Cheerios, and a spoon. I try my hardest to be quite but it didn't work. As I'm pouring the milk my mother rushes in.
"What the hell in gods name are you doing?"
"I was just, uh I was just getting some cereal." I mutter.
"Hell no. After that stunt you pulled hiding from me you get nothing."
I start walking past her but she stops me. I feel a tight grip on my shoulder.
"Goodnight." She says.
She lets go of me and I walk off into my bedroom. I slump into my not so cozy bed and try to fall asleep.
"Soon, soon it will all be better."
