No one understands me

Chapter seven - Mothers home

A loud crash came from downstairs. I put dad's picture and card back to where they were and crept into the hallway. I could hear laughter and kissing noises from in the lounge, and then a shout.

"What has happened to my lamp!" My mother had noticed the smashed lamp

I peered round the corner and down the stairs.

Suddenly we were face to face.

"It was you wasn't it!" She snarled

"It is a long story," 

"Well I've got all night, and so do you!"

"Actually NO I DON'T i have school in the morning, and I need to catch up on some sleep,"

"Tell me. NOW!"

I told her the story about Carrie, regretting it afterwards.

She grabbed me by my hair and pulled me onto the sofa.

"You nearly LOST my daughter," she screamed in my face

She had been drinking, I don't see why she needs to go out and do that, she's got plenty in the cupboards! 

"Mum i'll talk to you tomorrow... when your sober!" 

Mark walked in front of the living room door and blocked it from me. I tried pushing past him, but his shoved me back and onto the floor. 

"Move now you fat ass-hole!" I really lost my temper

I started hitting his beer belly, but my hands would just rebound off. I would kick and punch and bite, but he grabbed me by the wrist, lifted me off the floor and threw me across the room.

I fell on a bit off broken glass from the lamp and gasped with shock. The pain was rather agonizing and Iripped part of the table cloth off and wrapped it around my wrist.

I heard banging from the other side of the door.

"Jess?" I heard Carrie shakily say

I couldn't reply with out sounding like I was about to cry

"Please let me go... your a mother, you shouldn't be treating your kids like shit! Especially not beating them you witch!" I told her

Mark looked at me with his beady eyes and laughed. Mum pulled me to my feet, and when I say pulled I mean pulled! She grabbed me my the top of my arm, probably leaving more hand marks and swung me towards the door. 

"Oh yeah, and... (I coughed) Mother, Carrie actually dislikes you that much, that youv'e lost your title as mum to her and she'd rather have me as her mum! See what you do, you shouldn't have kids like Iv'e told you before, if you continue to hit me and Carrie, I WILL take us to somewhere else, and you will NEVER see us again!" I sped out of the room before I left without my teeth!

Mark shut the door as soon as one and a half feet got out of it. What I mean by only half is from my ankle to me heel actually was still in the door when he viciously closed it.

I pulled it away and fell to the wooden floor.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT! YOU COULD OF BROKEN IT YOU FUCKING GORILLA! GO DIE IN A HOLE!" I screamed

I could hear footsteps coming, and I couldn't face him again so I plucked up all my energy and headed for my room taking Carrie with me!
