             PART 2

....... as I glanced in fear at dad as he sat at the kitchen table drunk , he looked up at me and asked "what's wrong sugar lump!?" And i couldn't say anything, she pushed me back and says "go to your room sweetie " I could hear dad in the kitchen babbling "what in the hell are you up to now BITCH? You calling up one of your little boyfriends ?" Huh!?

She walked around the corner with the shotgun . I wanted to move but I couldn't ! His eyes were as buck wide , in shock . With his lips shaking he says "Jen put that gun down "

"Fuck you mother fucker ! " she says, with a bleeding nose and a busted lip! I could tell she was fed up but I never thought it would go this far . "

Jennifer please don't shoo....."

"didn't I Say shut the fuck up? I've dont NOTHING but love you Brian ! I gave you a beautiful daughter and we have everything we've ever wanted ." she says , with tears falling down her face holding the gun up towards his head .

"But bab.....

"SHUT UP!! U don't get to talk got dammit I'm the one with the gun ! Every night you bring yo ass in here drunk , fighting and disrespecting me like I'm some piece of trash ! I'm your WIFE ! " "

Jennifer please.."

(POW) she shoots the gun in the ceiling . It was so loud my ears were ringing . Dad jumps out of the chair lookin down at his chest searching for bullet holes . "

If I wanted to kill you, you'll be dead by now ". she pushes the gun up towards his face . " I should pull this trigger but you're not even worth the prison time, but if you put your hands on me again , next time you won't be so lucky ! " 
Dad gets up and runs out the house and slams the door (BOOM)

   When he's sober , he's a different person . There's always smiles and laughter. When I as 4 years old my mom and dad would take me to the fair and I remember being the happiest girl in the world! But , that's probably the most vivid memory that I have with them both! I have little memory of my childhood, mostly because I try and make myself  forget . 

       Couple months later

My mom just got this job as a cashier at a local grocery store . She would always work extra shifts because our money was getting low because of my dads drinking habits . I believe she got the job mainly to get away from him . They haven't fought for months. Probably because dad sleeps on the couch every single night .

"Hey mom" I said as I walked in the house from school , "where's dad ?" "He's outside on the back" "ok, I said as I walked to my room putting my things away . I grabbed a cookie off the table as I walked out back.

"Hey, you don't eat those until dinner is ready"

"Sorry mom, I said , skipping out the back door.

"DADDDD!? Dad?"

"What?" He answered, mumbling .
I could look in his eyes and tell he was wasted . "Yo mammy still cookin!? The bitch should be done by now!"
"Dad are you ok?" I asked, as if I didn't kno he was already "DRUNK as a skunk, as they would say. Right  then, I knew he was about to start another fight ..........
