Clues for love

C H A P T E R 2

I wake up and I hear yelling and shouting going on in the kitchen. It sounds like my father was back home, so i hop out of bed and tiptoed downstairs, without my parents hearing me.

I stood behind the kitchen cupboard and watched my parents yell at eachother.

My parents were full on swearing and abusing eachother and it was time for me to stand up and say something to both of them.

"WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO" I yelled.

My parents looked at me in shock, pretending that everything was okay.

"Nothing is happening sweetheart" my mother lies.

"OH REALLY, SO YOU GUYS JUST CASUALLY ABUSING AND SWEARING AT EACHOTHER IS OKAY, IN FRONT OF GRACE AND I SERIOUSLY MOM AND DAD! HOW COULD YOU JUST LIE TO MY FACE" I shouted angrily.

" KATIE COULD YOU PLEASE JUST GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM AND GET ORGANISED FOR SCHOOL, WHILE YOUR MOTHER AND I HAVE A CHAT!" my father screamed.

My face went bright red, I began to cry and ran up to my room and sat on my bed.

It was 8:00am, i had missed the bus, my sister wasn't feeling well so she stayed home today.

I got changed as quickly as possible, brushed my teeth, had no time to apply makeup then I grabbed a piece of toast from the kitchen counter and my mother dropped me off to school.

It was very silent in the car, driving to school. I was that angry at my parents that I didn't even say goodbye to my mother.

I arrived at school, looking awful without any makeup and all you could see was red, teary eyes.

It was recess time, and I couldn't stop thinking about my parents.

I began to cry again. My best friend, Hannah came up to me and saw that I wasn't myself.

"Katie, are you okay?" Hannah asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, just need time to myself but thankyou anyways" Katie replied.

"Okay I'm always here kate" Hannah replied.

It was finally the end of the day and I could finally go home.

I caught the bus home and opened the front door and ran up to my room. Put my bag away, went downstairs into the lounge room where my mother was sitting, signing papers.

I was confused to what those papers were.

I walked away and went to go check on my sister.

Then I hear my name be called "Katie", it sounded like my mother.

"Yeah" I answer. "Could you please come to the lounge room, I need to chat with you" my mothers calls out.

"Okay" I answer.

I made my way into the lounge room and sat on the couch opposite my mother.

"Katie, I am very sorry for lying to your face this morning, a lot has been going on between your father and I and then we have come to a decision" my mother says.

"What's going on between you and Dad" I ask

"We have been having a lot of disagreements and it turns out he has been cheating on me with another lady, that's why he wasn't home the other night!" My mother cried.

My face went into shock, I couldn't believe what my mother just said to my face.

"So what's going to happen now, are you guys getting a divorce?" I question.

"Yes we are and I'm very sorry about this, I am not sure how I am going to explain this to Grace as she won't understand" my mother explained.

I started to cry, I felt guilty on how I treated my mom this morning.

"I am sorry for yelling at you mom, did you want me to explain it to Grace?" I ask sadly.

"Yes please sweetheart, thankyou" my mother cried.

I hugged my mother, I felt really guilty on how I've been treating her.
