Chapter 8: Dad?

Warning ⚠️: This Chapter may contain coarse language.

//Brennan's pov//
It's been a month.
I have lost my best friend and my mother all in just over a year.
She passed away on November 22nd, 2016, at approximately 7:00pm.
She had a giant tumour on her lungs, and it was completely unknown about until now, and it's to late. The tumour grew and grew, until finally her lungs shut down, and she stopped breathing.
Dad didn't take it well. I guess he misses mom, but he gets mad super easy, and he has started hitting us.
The first time, it was un-expected.
Katie had asked when dinner would be, and he said that we were free to make whatever, that he didn't want to make anything.
Katie mumbled something about how he "never wanted to make anything, like the effort to be a good dad," and i knew she was just upset. He really hadn't been helping us with anything, and i feel like i am a better dad than he is.
That's when he got up from the couch he was sitting on, and stared down at Katie, a large, scary frown across his face.
"What did you just say?" He almost screams.
"Nothing," Katie replied, shaking. Dad never got mad.
"Don't lie to me," He is screaming now, and he raises a hand in the air.
"Dad stop!" i yell, and run over to Katie.
i try to grab him, but he shoves me into the wall, and kicks my thigh. I let out a scream and Ryan runs down the stairs. i fall to the ground, and my leg throbs. I then hear the worst possible sound. A smack.
Katie lets out a high pitch scream and begins to cry. I look over at her as he brings his hand down once again, on her back. I hear the smack again, and she continues to sob.
We are all screaming, and dad just yells random shit and I can't stand it.
"Stop!"  I scream at him.
"Shut the fuck up!" He yells back. But he lets go of Katie's collar and she falls to the ground. He stuffs his shoes on and grabs a jacket and slams the front door closed behind him.
He wasn't there the next morning. Or the day after that.
When he returned three days later, we didn't speak. At all.
We spent a lot of time at Katie's gym, Annie's house and the park.
We never wanted to be home.
We are afraid of our own father.

//Katie's pov//
I wake up at nine o'clock, and grab my phone.
I scroll through some Instagram and somehow end up looking at my old photos.
The happy times.
When my crush and my mother were both alive, and my dad wasn't a complete psychopath.
Speak of the devil, I begin to hear banging around downstairs, and a door slam.
I hear a quiet knock on the door, and soon Ryan and Brennan, both still in there pyjamas are standing in my bedroom.
Ryan has gotten skinny, and i'm beginning to worry. Dad doesn't buy much food, and Brennan has gotten a part time job working for a farmer to get money.
I am worried.
"Wanna call Annie and see if we can go over to her house today?" Ryan asked. "I wanna play with someone my own age,"
"Yeah, i wanna see Annie," I say.
"Me too," Brennan says.
"Huh?" I reply confused.
"What? I didn't say anything!"
"Um... Ok..."
"So can we go over?" Ryan asks again.
"I'll text annie," I am still looking at brennan, who keeps catching my glaze, but turns away. "Okay?"
"Yep!" They say.
I look down at my phone and text her.

(Text convo ended)
"We are going over at 11. Ok?" I say to the boys.
"Perfect!" They reply.
"Now get out! I need to go shower!" I say to them, jumping out of my bed and running out the door.
"Not if i get there first!" Brennan yells, chasing me.
"Neither of you get it! I do!" Ryan tags along and we run down the hall toward the bathroom.
I reach the bathroom door first.
"Besides, i always get it first because i'm the fastest, and i have to dry my hair," I say, and close the door, the boys still standing in the hall.
I get un-dressed, turn the water on and get into the shower.
I sing as loud as i can, and shampoo my hair.
What i have learned from my messed up life is that you need to make the best of the good memories, so that you can out number the bad ones.
When i get out of the shower, i get dressed in some under armour leggings, a plain, oatmeal coloured v-neck t-shirt and throw on my 1st Class sweater. I blow dry my hair, put it into a really high bun and add a bow.
I don't bother with makeup today, and i   run downstairs to grab some breakfast, but when i open the fridge, there is only a bunch of beer bottles, some old baloney, a loaf of bread, some milk and some other non-appetizing things that i really can call food. I sigh and try to figure out what i could make, and decide to give the boys a treat and i run back upstairs. I see that brennan is in the shower, so i tell Ryan that i'm going to go get us some breakfast.
I throw on my nike running shoes because i might as well go for a run also, my wallet, my phone and some ear buds.
I walk outside and a wave of fresh air washes over me and i smile, put in my ear buds and my running playlist and begin to run.
I finally reach my destination, the donut shoppe my mom used to take us to all the time, and walk in.
I wipe my forehead on my sleeve and stand in line.
I hear the door open, and turn to see someone i haven't seen in months.
Olivia.
