Everyday seemed to go by extra slow as if god wanted me to suffer through the day knowing what was to come when I went to bed. Every night was the same thing, my mom would tuck me into bed and wish me the sweetest dreams, then walk out of my room to her doom 'my word for there fights'.

I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I would try. Usually around ten at night is when the arguing would start. At first it starts out as no louder than an inside voice. They would be discussing money issues, or things to do on there free time. The moment they came to a disagreement all hell would break loose. Chairs would squeak across the cherry wood floors as they jumped from there seats, while ugly words were thrown left and right. At this point their voices echoed through the whole house. The arguing continues for another hour before my dad would storm out of the house and hop on his harley. Being five, there is no way for me to help my mother, the only thing to do was stay in my bed so she wouldn't know I knew. I pray every night, hoping that one day this nightmare of a life would end. Life isn't that fair now is it?

For the past year that was my daily routine, Go through the day like everything was fine and dandy, then go to bed and listen to them argue. She still doesnt know I know about it, but he did. He came in my room one night after they had one of their arguments where he found me curled up in my blankets crying. He threatened to hurt me if I told anyone about the arguments that go on in this house. Did I mention he is always drunk? After they got married he seemed to drink more. Most nights he would go through two bottles of whiskey just by himself.

I crawl in to bed and wait for the arguing to begin. Even if I fall asleep before they start fighting, I always wake up when it starts, so I have started waiting until it was over to actually close my eyes.

The fighting begins, mom against dad about sending me to school.

Mom has been homeschooling me since I was four. Seeming as she doesnt work because dad makes all the money, she decided that I was to be homeschooled. Now, they are arguing because dad is tired of being the only person who helps with the bills, so he wants mom to get a job so they can send me to a private school only a few miles from our house, and so he can finally have some money to spend.

Private sounds like lots of money....Why not keep me home so they won't have to argue? I don't want to be the reason they argue.

10 minutes into their arguing, mom agrees to send me to school and that seems to calm dad down a little.
Slowly, my little eyes begin to droop as sleep is calling me. I drift off into a restless night of sleep filled with nightmares of school.

I wake to my mommy staring down at me with a sad smile on her face.

"Good morning Mommy. What's the matter?"

"I need to tell you something hunny. I am no longer going to teach you school at home. You have an appointment in a couple hours at St. Ivy Academy with the dean."

"No mommy! I don't want to go to school! I want to stay home with you! Please don't make me go!"

"You're going to love it hunny. I promise it will be okay." She runs her fingers through my hair which always seems to calm me down. "You are going to make new friends, and you will learn so much more. Please do not fight me on this." She stands up from my bed and walks over to my closet. "Now let's get you ready. We can go out to breakfast before your appointment."
