That night I changed into my pyjamas. Then I went into my Mum's room. I began to pick up the rubbish that covered the floor.
I hated having to look after her. She's always acting like the pathetic child. Angrily I kicked the bottle under her bed. The glass shattered everywhere and blood oozed from my toe. I was unaware of that pain. The pain I felt was much deeper and unavoidable.
I grabbed a broom from the cupboard and a plaster from my drawer. I began sweeping the glass. When I had finished I sat on my Mum's bed and put the plaster on. I noticed a thick book sticking out slightly. I pryed it free from the shelf. It was a photo album I had never seen before. I began to flick through the pages. Something fluttered to my feet. It was a picture. A picture of me and my Mum and Dad. Their eyes were full of happiness. I wanted things to go back to the way they were so badly. Tears fell from my eyes. I lay on my Mum's bed and let the tears of anger and sadness fall from deep inside me.
