Broken Home

Chapter Two

As the two were sitting in the waiting room the doctor came out.

"We will have to keep Brian over night for further observations. Is that okay Ms..?" Said Dr. Powers

"Ms. Sullivan. And yes that would fine. How is he doing, is he awake?" Ms. Sullivan says with a worried expression. 

"He did wake up, but now we have told him to rest a bit to regain his strength. We just want to make sure he doesn't have a conncussion and his head wound doesn't get an infection" Dr. Powers explained. 

"Okay, we will come back in the morning to see how he is doing an see if he is ready to be taken home. Thank you." She says barely giving Dr. Powers anytime to say something before walking away. 

"Okay, you're welcome" Dr. Powers shouts as she is walking away. 

When Kate and her mother reach the car they jump in and as soon as they get out of the hospital parking lot Kate's mother loses it. Yelling and swearing at Kate for bringing up somehing that had happened over 3 months ago. As soon as her mother took a break from yelling Kate finally got to say someting. 

"Mom, it's not my fault you ruined your marriage by sleeping with other people! Not even adults! They were teenagers, you are a sick person! I don't see how you got to keep us and not dad! Maybe because they kids you practically raped are to scare to step up and say somethingto their parents or the police!" Kate screams back at her mother. 

"We wouldn't have had to get a divorce if you wouldn't of kept your mouth shut about what you saw!" Screams her mother. 

"About what  saw! Mom, I was 11 years old at the time! I had to tell dad, I barely knew what you were doing! I was tramitised! You really think I wouldn't of told dad! I talked to you before, I told you that if you don't tell him I will. I gave you time! A whole freaking month!! And you really couldn't find time to tell him!" Kate says back. 

"How the hell was I supposed to tell him something like that! Am I just supposed to come out and say 'Hey I had sex with the 13 year old boy the other day, but it meant nothing because he is barely even a man yet' Is that what I was supposed to do?!?" Her mother screams louder than last time. 

"You could of found a time to say it... And in a better way then that.." Kate says quietly. 

The rest of the car ride home was in complete silence. Kate sat in the front seat staring out the window until they reached their home. Kate got out of the car and went inside, she sat at the kitchen table waiting for her mother to come inside from prking the car. She really felt like she needed to appologize for what she said earlier. As she waited for he mom to come inside she started thinking. Why should she say sorry if all the things she said were completly true. 

Ten minutes had gone by and her mother still wasn't inside from the car. So Kate got up and went to the garrage to see what was taking so long. When she got there her mothers car wasn't there. Where could she be? Where could she have gone? Kate stood there for a good 5 minutes thinking of where she could have gone and why she left. 

Kat went inside and called her. No answer. A few calls later and still no answer just her voice mail. God where the hell could she have gone, Kates thought. She desided to call her friends Megan to pass the time by. 

HEr and Megan talked about how there summer was going, if they were ready to start school. A good hour went by and her mother still wasn't home. As she listened to Megan bable on about her boyfriend and how sweet he is to her, Kate tooned out. She wasn't in the mood to talk about boy right now. She had just resently been dumped by her 9 month boy friend Gavin Wasowskey, it was a horrible break up. She really thought he was going to be with her forever. But thats the normal first boyfriend thoughts for a girl. Finally Megan an her get off the phone and Kate hears the door slam open. It's her mother and she's drunk. 

"Mom? Where have you been it's been three hours?" Kate says keeping a 10 foot radius of her mom. She knows how she can be when she is drunk. 

"What do you care?" She slurs. 

"Mom, are you drunk?" Kate says obviously knowing the answer already. 

"Maybe, Maybe not." She says almost toppling over. 

"Why did you go out to drink? You don't drink... you've been sober for months." Kate says kind of confused. 

"I can drink if I want to. You're not the boss of me!" She says walkling towards Kate with her fists clenched. 

"Mom stay away from me. You know what happened the last time you drank!" Kate says backing away quickly from her mother. 

"Yeah, I know what happened. And it's going to happen again if you're not careful!" She screams with a little slurring in the words. 

Kate runs to her room locking the door behind her. When her mother reaches her door Kate goes to the window and climbs out. When her mom breaks the door down and finally gets in her room she look all around the room for Kate. When she doesn't find her she notices the window is open. Her mother rushes down the stair and out the front door. 

She couldn't of gotten far, she thought. She went to her car and started to drive around looking for her. When she didn't find her she gave up. She didn't think of going to her neighbors houses to ask if she had went there because she really didn't care where she went. She just wanted to beat the shit out of her for bringing up what had happened less than 3 months ago. 

...

Meanwhile, Kate is still running she has almost made it to her neighbors 3 houses down. The Jenkinsons, they were a really nice bunch of people. They were polite people exceot there son, Luke. She only went to this house because they were the only neighbors she actually knew. Her and Luke were kind of close though, he was her first kiss and all. 

"Hello, Kate. Do you need something?" Mrs.Jenkinson said. They were the only one that knew that my mother used to beat me.. well still does on occasions. 

"Uhh..yeah, I was wondring if i could stay here for a couple of day.. or maybe only tonight" Kate says. 

"Of course you can sweety. Is something wrong at home?" She says with a worried expression. 

"Well.....my mom is drunk, and..well.. she was trying to beat me again. But I ran up to my room locked the door and climbed out the window I'm pretty sure she didn't even go looking for me and if she did she probably stopped within 5 minutes.." Kate says kind of hesitanly. 

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay? Did she hit you before you left? Don't you think she will come here looking for you?" She says with more worry in her voice than before. 

"Yes I'm okay. She didn't get to me before I ran. No I don't think she will come here because.." Kate stops herself before she says somehing she will regret. 

"Because what?" She says in a confused voice. 

Shit. I can't tell her why my mother won't come here, she would flip and call the cops. My mother would get arrested for what she did to Luke. Maybe I should just lie. But.. Damnit I can't lie to her, I have never lied to her before.
