I wake up to the sound of smashing glass. I've heard this sound before so its not like its a new thing. But this time, there's more crashes. I haven't heard this one before. There's screaming.

My door swings open and my mommy's face appears. Not papa. My muscles relax.

"Mikey, sweetie. C'mon we have to go." She says to me with anxiety in her voice. I dont understand. Where are we going?

"Mommy what's going on?" I ask her as she is pulling things out of my drawers and throwing them in a bag frantically.

I hear a frame smash in the distance of my house. My muscles tense back up and I keep watch on the door while Mommy packs my things. I still dont know why.

"Mommy, do you want me to help?" I ask her with a shakey voice. She shakes her head and zips up the suitcase.

I stand up off of my bed and slip on my shoes. I put on my coat and gloves because it is early December, now. I follow Mommy out of my room.

Walking down the stairs and into the living room, I cling onto Mommy's arm. I know Papa is still in the house. There is plenty of glass on the floor and I am glad I am wearing shoes.

"Come back here you stupid whore!" I hear my dad's voice and a tremble runs through my body as Mommy pushes me through the door.

"Hurry up, Michael. Lets get in the car." She says to me all while running from the house and into her red blazer.

The car starts and my dad runs out of the house.

I see him chasing the car as we drive down the street.
