"Josh! Get inside! Finish your homework and help with dinner!" my dad grumbles.
He has been really grumpy ever since Alan died, and my mom is rarely home. She's always out drinking at the bar with her friend's money, and I'm actually glad she's not home. Two parents, one drunk and the other always so negative? I would blow up.
Instead of finishing my homework at home, I decide to go to my friend's house. I jog to the door with my backpack and yell
"I'll be home in bout an hour!"
Before my dad could reply, I slam the door behind me and run towards my friend, Jen's house. I ring the doorbell three times, that's how she knows it's me. Jen opens the door and lets me in.
"Mom's home?" She asks she closed the door.
"Nah, she's comin tonight."
We jog up the stairs and turn into her room. I sit in a chair and she sits on her bed. She knows about my brother, so she offers to help me. I decide to stay the night at her house, I don't want to go back home with drunk woman in the house.
