I woke up to the sound of my parents fighting....again. I stayed in my bed staring at the ceiling listening to their very, loud conversation.
"DON'T YOU EVER THINK ABOUT ANY ONE BUT YOURSELF???" my mom says, as she "cooks" our eggs.
"I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS ANYMORE! ALL WE EVER DO IS FIGHT! NOTHING IS THE WAY IT USED TO BE! THE GIRLS ARE LEAVING, OUR MARRIAGE IS FALLING APART, I'M LOSING EVERYTHING I LOVE!" my dad says.
I thought about my sisters. Jessica is in Montana for college, Jo is in Colorado for college, and Amy is a senior this year. I thought about what my dad meant by he's losing everything he loves, and thought about what would happen if my mom left my dad. Life would be total hell if that happened.
I waited in bed for my alarm to go off. When it finally did I changed into my outfit for the day, did my hair, put on some makeup, and left the safety of my room.
When I walked into the kitchen my mom and dad acted like nothing had happened between them, like they were happily married. They always acted like this to hide their fights from Amy and I. But anyone with common sense could see that they don't love each other like they used to.
We eat our under cooked eggs in silence, hoping that nobody says anything so that way we don't have to carry-on an actual conversation. Because only God knows how that would end up. So I just sit there and count down the minutes until we have to go to school. One of the only times a day I can get away from all the fighting.
