The yelling getting louder and louder by the day,it almost seems awkward when it's silent. They've been trying to keep there composer around me not that it helps when behind close doors the bad comes out. "How are we suppose to raise are family like this ivy!" "Do you think that I was trying to put y'all in danger cause I wasn't." She was yelling but her voice carried though the walls. "Well it sure as hell seemed like it." My dad voice wasn't the same it was violent more hurt then sincere. This person wasn't my dad,he was a personality he made up to get a point across. At least that's what I told myself,so I wouldn't be scared of him. Soon the blatant silence filled the air slowly stealing words then it was chocking the life out of people. There was a mumble though the wall that I couldn't hear.suddenly a door opened,quickly I looked down at my homework as if I actually care about the equivalent of 20 was. Three knocks hit my door then the door opened.My mother entered the door closing behind her. Even after the consent fighting she still looked the same as she did when I was a baby minus the light that used to shine in her eyes. "Hey baby girl" "Yeah" "Come here for a second" I got up off my bed and walked up to her. Now that I was up close I could see the tears rimming around her eyes. She stooped down low to about my height and wrapped me in a tight hug. Then the heaves and tears started happen;she broke down and so did I. "You know I love you right?" "Yeah mama" My throat was raw from crying and hurt when I talk but I didn't care. She pulled away still bent down she wiped the tears from my face and smiled. "Dont be sad I'm just going to go for a while okay." "But I don't want you to leave again" With me saying those words I went back to crying. In the background you could hear the sniffling of her. "I love you" looking up at her,she was now back standing the tears still streamed done her face but in a more quiet manner. "I love you too" One more smile flashed upon her face then she open the door and exited. "Take care of her" They were both in the hallway and I was too weak to close the door. "I will." The voice of my dad was stern but you could tell that he was about to cry. "I'm sorry" " I am too,be safe" There was silence I gained enough strength look out the door. Both of them held each other in a tight long embrace .A couple minutes past they broke apart she pick up her bag and left out the door. As soon as to door closed my dad broke down crying he slowly fell to the floor. This when on for an hour till he fell asleep. Quietly I went the closet and grabbed a blanket.Creeping into the hallway my feet hit the cold floor making me jump. When I was near him I put the blanket around him so he wouldn't be cold.when I was done I when back to my room and closed the door. I don't know why but I had a feeling she wasn't coming to be back for while.that was that last straw before I cried myself asleep.
