Chapter 4:

       I ran toward the door, and waited there like a puppy waiting for a treat from its owner. I waited, and waited, and waited. I felt like mom was tricking me into doing something stupid. The second I turned my head away from the door, I heard a knock on the door. I ran and opened it. My dad came through the doorway.
       He wore a nice dress shirt with nice jeans. I hugged him and he hugged back." Hello son! Have you been taking care of mom?" He asked. Mom laughed and then she kissed him on the cheek. "You boys get ready for dinner" mom yelled as she walked to the kitchen.
       I wanted to show dad my room really quick. He comes every two weeks so it really wasn't that different from my brown, wooden dresser, my bed, and my old pastel painting of our small house I made when I was four. It was really terrible, but I haven't bothered to take it down because I made myself believe I don't have any time to, and mom says it is cute.
Then we ate a deer I shot earlier today, and I'm a really good hunter. Then dad congratulated me on the deer I shot. He said that the type of deer that I shot was really rare to shoot. Then mom talked about how poor we are. Blah, blah, blah.
Then we all went outside and sat on the the chairs. This time I was very careful with the chair that I fell off. Mom and dad talked about their lives without each other. Mom said she was going crazy without a man to take care of me.
       After the long talk, I went to sleep wondering, will my life ever change?
