Mom and Frank got married a month later. I think they were rushing it. They were only dating for 5 months and, now their married. I wasn't going to talk my mom out of it, because she was so happy. I haven't seen my mom this happy, since my father passed away. She did have a big wedding. They got married at this church I used to go to, when I was little. It was me, Alexis and Julio and then Frank invited Vic to be the best man. My mom asked to be her maid of honor. Oh course I said yes. Julio was the ring bearer. Alexis was the flower girl of course. Then after the wedding we all went out to eat. All together, it was a pretty good day.

I was at Vic's house visiting his mother and father. I love coming over here. I felt so welcomed. I could tell Vic's parents really liked me, and I really liked them too. As for Mike, he cracks me up. He always tries to flirt with me, just to make Vic mad. Which I always knew he was playing around. It was just funny to see Vic mad. To be honest Vic always look sexy Mad. Always made me think wrong.. haha. Me and him have will be together 2 years tomorrow, and me and him haven't done anything together. Don't get me wrong, I wanted him, but me and him want to wait for the right time. Maybe tomorrow, you never know. I blushed I can't believe I'm thinking about sleeping with him, while I was sitting in front of his family. I came back to reality and realized Vic wasn't in the living room, watching TV anymore. I got up and walked down the hall to where Vic's room was. I walked in there to Vic playing his guitar. It was an all back acoustic guitar. It was really beautiful. Vic has been teaching me how to play, but man did I suck.
I sat down next to him, and he looked up at me smiling. "God your so beautiful" he said kissing me on the forehead. I blushed and looked away. He put his hand under my chin and pulled my face close to him, as he put the guitar on the bed beside him. Then he pulls me closer, kissing me softly, making me smile while I kiss him back. We pull away "I love you" we both said at the same time and then chuckled. He pulled me back into another kiss, this time kissing me a little bit more passionately, making me wrap my arms around his neck, as he puts his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. My heart keep beating faster and faster. Then he pulled away and winked at me. Making me blush. "Its time to take you home babe" he said getting up. "Your such a tease" I said standing up.
Vic had just pulled up in front of my house. I smiled at him giving him a kiss goodbye, getting out the car. As he drove off, I was so scared to walk into that house, because I was scared to see what has gone on while I was gone. Thank god Julio and Alexis were at there friends house this weekend. I unlocked the door, opening it softly trying not to make no noise. Just then I heard yelling and then something shatter. Next thing I knew the door was getting yanked open, right out of my hand. "Where the fuck have you been?" Frank slurred pulling me inside, slamming the door behind me. He was drunk, which was nothing new. I bet my mom was too.
A couple weeks ago I noticed my mom was acting strange. She wasn't being herself. She started drinking, going out almost every night, then come home drunk with Frank. Once they got home all they did was fight. Sometimes they would take it out on us kids. One time I remember Frank was about to hit my mother, so I stepped in between them, just as his fist connected to my face. I hit the floor, then he kicked me. "Next time you'll learn to stay out the way, you fucking freak" I looked up at my mom with tears in my eye. She just stared at me for a second, and walked away. I laid there crying for a moment. I eventually got up and ran to my room.
I felt my cheek start to sting as I realized I was just slapped across the face. I felt tears forming in my eyes. I looked up at Frank, to him just staring at me in a disgusted way. Then he pushed me, making me hit the wall "Do me a favor and go do something with yourself. Lose some weight of something. Your such a fucking ugly emo freak." Then he walked away. I ran back out the door. This time running to the back yard.
I climb up the tree and started sobbing. I felt so alone. All i wanted was my fathers touch or a hug from my best friend. I pulled out my phone and dialed Matt's number. I stopped crying right before he picked up. "Hey fart face" is all he said and I bursted into tears again. I just sat there and cried threw the phone. Finally I calmed down. "Matty I miss you so much, nothing is going right anymore." I said looking up at the moon. "What's the matter? Did something happen between you and Vic?" He asked. I said No and explained, what's been going on with my mom and Frank. "Amber, I'm sorry you have to go through that, you should call the cops." He said sounding so upset. "If I do they will take my mom away too. I can't do that to Julio and Alexis. We need her." I said softly. We just keep talking about this and then he eventually calmed me down. I eventually went inside and went into my room. I texted Vic before I went to sleep. "Happy two year anniversary babe. I love you so much, can't wait to see you later. Goodnight my favorite Mexican(:" should I tell Vic what's been going on? Nah not right now. I was starting to change into night clothes when I looked in the mirror and saw the bruises on my arm and the side of my rib from where Frank kicked me. Plus there was still a cut on my lip from the punch. I honestly don't know what was going to
