Sapphire P.O.V

"I honestly can't stand any of this anymore David I'm sick of it. My life has become a suffocation" My mum was screaming and her face was red.

My parents have been fighting a lot lately and every time it seems to get worse.

"Stephanie stop putting your things away and listen to me" My dad tried to hold my mum's arm and stop her from packing her suitcase. The desperation in his tone tugged at my heart and it reflected exactly what I was feeling.

"I'm done with you David this marriage isn't working. 15 years with you and all it ever led to was heartache"

"Stop making rash decisions Steph we can work this all out"

"No David, we can't work this out, the damage is beyond repair"

"Steph don't say that, there's nothing our love can't overcome"

"I just can't David"

"What do you mean you can't" My mum turned around with frustration and looked at my dad. The expression on her face made her look as if she were talking to a stranger.

"David, those doubts you had about me.....they were true. I did cheat...on you."

"What?" My dad's voice cracked and it struck a sharp pain in my heart.

"I'm sorry, I never wanted to hurt you like this David"

"Just go"

"David I-"

"LEAVE!!"

Hearing my mum say that not only broke my dad's heart but it felt as if I was stabbed in my heart. My mum's head hung low in shame, she didn't have the courage to look my dad in the eyes after she had picked up her suitcase. My dad turned his face away and my mum gave him one last look before walking towards the door. 

She walked towards me  and touched my face but I flinched away.

"Don't....don't touch me... I hate you" Tears were falling down my face and I ran into my room and laid on my bed crying.

Hearing my mum say that she didn't love my dad anymore was the worst feeling in the world. I always knew that mum and dad's relationship wasn't the best. But the love they shared was something which always amazed me. My dad looked at my mum as if she were his everything. Thinking of my dad made me cry even more. He didn't deserve this at all; he loved my mum so much.

I wiped my tears and walked to my dad's room. I saw him getting all his things together and I panicked.

"Dad..." He turned to me and when I saw his state I broke on the inside. I have never seen my dad cry and seeing him like this broke me.

"Yeah" He smiled at me trying to be strong. I put my head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay Dad" He didn't answer me, I knew how hard this was for my dad.

"Princess, pack your stuff we're moving to Grandma and Grampa's house" What ??

"But da-"

"Please don't argue with me, just do as I say" I nodded my head and walked into my room.

I was done with my packing and I sat on my bed waiting for my dad. He walked into the room and came and sat on the bed. I quickly wiped the tears of my cheeks and distracted myself by playing with the edge of the shirt.
