I updated this so L8 💔 where are all my late night readers at?

-
You work on yours and Jai's project for Maths in your room while you wait for your parents to get home. Your eyes begin to get droopy but you're awoken by the slam of a door.

You hear your Mom and Dad yelling.

"You've been ignoring me lately and I just want to know why! Why won't you talk to me Ji Wong?!" Your mother yells at your father.

You crack open your door to hear what they're yelling about. Your parents have been fighting a lot lately. Usually you would interfere but ever since last time, your mother has made you promise not to.

"It's none of our business, Erica!" Your Pa yells back. You hear your mothers sobs.

"What has been going on with you? Every time we're out together you act as if you don't even know me? Are you embarrassed of me?! Is that why you've been so distant?!" Her cries become louder and louder. It's heart wrenching to you when your Mother cries. It makes you want to run downstairs and embrace her, tell her everything's going to be okay.

You hear a slap noise out of nowhere. It echoes all through out the house. "I am your Husband and you will NOT raise your voice at me woman!" You flinch at how aggressive your fathers voice is. Tears run down your cheeks. He hit her. He hit my mother. You thought to yourself as your tears turn into quiet sobs.

"How dare you?! How dare you hit me Ji Wong! I'm your wife!" Your mother yells at him. The same question was running through your mind. You did not dare run downstairs. Even though every bone in your body wanted to.

Your mothers sobs as she runs upstairs, your father behind her. You quickly run to your bed and hide under the covers as you pretend to sleep. You feel the bed dip in and your Mothers cold tears on your cheek. She gives you a kiss on the forehead. You slightly open your eyes to see the light coming in from the hallway and your Pa standing in the doorway, his jaw clenched and his eyes cold. You quickly close your eyes when your mother gets back up to her feet and walks past your father. Your Pa shuts your door behind him. You open your eyes and sit up alone, sobbing in the darkness.

You hear your parents yelling again and jump when your mothers loud scream echoes throughout the house. With tears still in your eyes, you run downstairs to see your mother lying on the floor, blood under her head, and your sobbing father hovering over her, her bloody head in his hands.

"What did you do, Papa?!!" You run over to your mother and push your father out of the way to comfort her. Your father looks down at his hands with wide, teary eyes.

"What have I done?" Your father sobs. You hear a knock on the front door. Your neighbors probably heard your parents yelling since the houses are so close.You open the door to see two men in uniform. One is very tall, and the other average.

"We got a call from the people next door. May we come in?" The shorter man asks. Your knees suddenly get weak and you can no longer hold on to the doorknob. Every thing gets blurry as you fall to the floor. The door opens behind you and the two cops see your mother on the floor.

The tall man runs over to her. The shorter cop bends down and embraces you.

Soon, there's an ambulance outside your house and you are sitting in the back of it with your mother lying beside you in a stretcher. Every time you look at her tear stained face your heart breaks. You see your father being pushed into the back of a cops car, he doesn't even look the same anymore. His face is pale and blank. You start to cry again, but this time they weren't sad tears, they were tears of anger. You wanted to hurt him, just like he hurt your mother. You look at him and scream. Cursing his name, saying you hate him. You know he can't hear you once he's in the car but you continue to scream until you feel a pair of arms around you.
