Crazy Dangerous & Difficult // Niall Horan

"So what are you going to do about the note?" Maria asked me.

We were walking home from school, I showed her the note immediately,she was just as surprised and creeped out as I was.

"I don't know,and I don't know why he's using me as his next target either" I sighed.

"He's probably reeling you in and then he'll snap and shoot you."

"Oh my god your imagination is far from crazy." I laughed. Suddenly my phone vibrated for a few seconds in my pocket.

"Hello?" I placed it to my ear only to hear my parents yelling in the background and Vanessa's little voice.

"Violet please hurry home they won't stop"

"I'll get there as quick as I can" I sighed clicking end.

"What was it?" Maria asked suddenly worried.

"Parents, they're fighting again.." I replied looking down.

Maria just looked down too, unsure what to say. "Im coming with you, c'mon" she grabbed my hand and we ran down the street towards my house.

"YOU NEVER HELP OUT WITH THE GIRLS! HENRICK IM CONSTANTLY FEEDING THEM BRINGING THEM TO PLACES-"

"YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY BE TRYING TO IMPLY IM NOT A FATHER ARE YOU INSANE?! I HELP OUT WITH THESE GIRLS JUST AS MUCH AS YOU!"

"IF YOU PAID ATTENTION TO THEM YOU'D KNOW VIOLET IS GETTING SENT TO THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR AT SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN ACTING OUT, AND VANESSA HAS HAD RANDOM OUTBURSTS DURING THE DAY"

I heard enough, I stood at the door with my arms wrapped around Vanessa, she had her hands covering her ears from all the shouting.

I moved her over to Maria and nodded toward upstairs telling her to go to my bedroom. I made my way into the kitchen throwing my backpack on the ground.

"SHUT.UP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"YOU BOTH THINK YOUR NOT WRONG WHEN ACTUALLY YOU BOTH ARE, dad where are you at 6 at night when were eating dinner? Mom when are you NOT cursing and bashing dad behind his back for not being here, you both wonder why you daughters have become so outraged and lost and are getting called into the office at school!? Maybe you should look at yourselves and realize you are the problems, I'm so FUCKING done with your bullshit. I've been a better parent to Ness these past weeks than you both of have been to us. Get your shit together before I move out, WITH Vanessa"

I grabbed my back and stormed upstairs making sure my footsteps made an echoing noise through our mid sized house, I've had it with them. Almost every day I've come home to this and the usual thing happens, Vanessa cries I take her upstairs dad says he's sorry to us then leaves and my mom cooks dinner while smashing things around in anger.

Nothing has been good in this house for two months because of my dads new work, he claims its really making good money, but my mom says differently. She thinks he's more interested in the job rather than his own family and it kind of seems like it since my dad hasn't been around, and he still fails to tell us what his new job even is, I guess it's 'top secret'.

"You okay?" Maria asked as I entered the room.

"Perfect" I replied sarcastically grabbing my history book out of my bag. "Ness everything is going to be fine, don't worry" I walked up to her and kissed the top of her head, running my fingers down her chestnut brown hair. She looked up at me and nodded still scared from what she had seen earlier.

She was way to young to witness all of this,it broke my heart that only an 8 year old had been through so much more than most kids my age. At least I was old enough to understand my parents didn't love each other and that this family was shattered, but she didn't know that let alone understand it.
