Late night adventures//

---
I just had the most boring lecture with my history teacher. Ten minutes of him lecturing how I can't let my personal life get in between school work. Well Mr Asshole why don't you try and do homework when your siblings are crying and your parents are arguing.
He finally allowed me to leave but I have to up my grades by the end of the semester or he's calling my parents.
I sighed to myself as I walked to the exit of the school there was hardly anybody here, they all got out the school as quick as possible. I wouldn't blame them school just puts everyone in such a bad mood.
As I reached the gates a saw a familiar figure.
"Hi Scarlett"
Shawn said while giving me a side hug, I returned the hugged and replied with a simple hi.
"What you doing this late out of school?"
He said raising an eyebrow.
"Lecture about my lacking of grades. You?"
He laughed.
"Chloe. She told me to wait for her here but it's already been ten minutes"
I sighed, Chloe well I absolutely hate her.
"Means she's not coming"
I said while shrugging my shoulders.
"She is, she's probably just held up in class or something."
"Shawn. She was in my class she was one of the first to leave."
He sighed.
"Don't wait here to long"
I said as I walked out the gates.
See the thing with me and Shawn were pretty close friends but he always hangs out with the popular group eg Chloe. Which is good for my group so we don't get loads of attention because we aren't exactly the coolest kids.
I just really don't want Shawn to get involved with Chloe but he likes her and I know she's only going to break his heart.

Eventually I arrived home as I unlocked the door I was surrounded in hugs.
Olivia and Isaac were smiling widely at me.
"How are my favourite two people doing?"
I asked ruffling their hairs up.
"Gooddddd"
The both yelled.
I laughed at their enthusiasm.
As there was no sign of any argument I took it my opportunity to go and shower and do some homework.

------
I just finished my science homework when I heard shouting from downstairs. Already at it at 7:30pm. I sorted all my books and put them away and made sure I had all the right things for tomorrow. I then decided to go on my phone.
I was just watching a video by Aidan Alexander (a/n: he is My BAE okay) when Isaac came in my room with tears falling down his face.
"Daddy was shouting and woke me up"
He sobbed.
Thanks dad. What a wonderful dad you are, I thought.
I cradled Isaac and carried him back in his room, shutting the door trying to block as much of the noise out as possible.
Olivia woke too. I don't know how I'm going to get them back to sleep.
"When will they stop?"
Olivia said while clutching on to her bunny. She has fear in her eyes. This is not okay for a four year old to be afraid.
"Soon. Very soon."
I say trying to believe it myself.
----
This was the five bedtime story I finished and they still aren't able to fall asleep because of the noise downstairs.
This is ridiculous. It's 8:47pm they have been shouting at it for a good hour. The thing is I've been listening and it's always my dad causing this and it's really annoying me. I always hear my mom say:
"Please James. just stop"
"You are going to wake the girls"
"I'm not arguing with you".
It hurt to see them both like this.
"Get your teddys and put a jumper over you pjs"
I say they both nodded and followed my instructions.I rushed into my room and I added three thick blankets into my backpack to all the other things that were already in there. I grabbed a hoodie to put over my tee and brought Olivia and Isaac downstairs.
I told them to get their coats on and shoes and they did so. Once I had my shoes on I walked into the living room where my parents were arguing.
"Stop yelling"
I shouted. My mom was sitting on the sofa her head in her hands with my dad towering over her. They both looked at me surprised.
"Do you not care about us? Do you think we can handle the non going screaming"
I shouted, I was so angry.
"No. How do you expect two four year olds to cope with their parent fighting all the time?!??"
I yelled once more.
"Well they don't they are in tears seeing you like this and so am i."
I said while a tear fell down my cheek.
"I've had enough. I'm not coming back or are they until you stop arguing"
I said leaving the room.
"You don't see what it's doing to us"
I whispered.
"Scarlett don't you dare!"
My dad yelled which made me flinch.
I walked back into the room and looked at him, I stayed in silence for a good few seconds.
"Watch me"
I said as I grabbed my bag and phone and opened the door. I really had no idea how I had the guts to do that.
Olivia and Isaac ran out and I slammed the door shut.
We then ran to the abounded building.
I actually can't do this no more, i have to be so grown up in this situation and no one sees what it's doing to me.
I have to be the one to be strong for Isaac and Olivia but how can I be? How can I be strong for them when I can't be strong for myself?

A/n: wow go Scarlett. I'm so proud of Shawn like ugh he's grown so much.
