Willow

Chapter 4

"WILLOW!" I heard my stepdad bellow from the living room. "I SAID BE HOME NOW, NOT 30 MINUTES LATER!"
I sighed. There was no point in arguing with him. Walking into the kitchen, I looked around. All over my once clean, tiled floor, were black bags full of rubbish and mouldy food. On the marble counters, were dirty dishes and Chinese takeaway cartons. I looked in the rotting, wooden cupboards to see what I could make David for dinner. All I saw was half a packet of spaghetti and some tinned pasta sauce. There wasn't enough for 2 so I guess I wasn't eating tonight.

After I had cooked the spaghetti, I grabbed a can of beer from the fridge and kicked my way through all the rubbish on the floor to the door. I knocked on the living room door and entered.
"Here you go David," I said.
I placed the plate and beer down on the table in front of him. He picked up the food and glared at me.
"What is this filth?" He yelled. "Are you TRYING to poison me?"
"I'm sorry," I muttered under my breath.
"Go and order me some pizza, I mean it's not like I can eat this trash!" He screamed.
I quickly grabbed the phone and ordered a large meat feast pizza, fries and onion rings. As I put down the phone, I grabbed the plate of spaghetti and took it to my room to eat it. I guess if he wasn't going to eat it, then I would. I just wished my stepdad would care about me.
