Ethan's pov

It was a Friday night, I was at my desk doing some homework so I won't have to do it over the weekend.
It's getting pretty late, it's around half past 11 so my sister is asleep.

My mum and dad were downstairs fighting, again. They've been like this for the past few days, just constantly arguing. But tonight's the worst , it's never usually this loud or this bad.

I hate when they fight because I'm always scared that one of them is going to mention divorce . I don't want them to divorce .

I heard my door creak and my head snapped in that direction.
I saw my little sister stood in my doorway, with her thumb in her mouth while her other hand was clutching a pink teddy bear that my dad gave her when she was born. I have the same on but in blue and dad also gave that to me when I was born.

"Hey Aaliyah, what's wrong?" I asked her softly closing my bedroom door and taking her to my bed .
I sat in my bed facing her.
"I scared Ethy" She mumbled about to cry.
I wrapped an arm around her and she moved next to me..
"I am too but we just have to ignore it , okay?" I said and she nodded.
As I was looking at Aaliyah I noticed how much she looks like our dad. I know that I look like him but personally I don't see it, everyone else does though. But, I can see that Aaliyah looks like him.

"Is mummy and daddy gonna break up?" She asked scared.
I shrugged.
"I don't know" I whispered.
I suddenly heard glass smashing and my dad yelling "what the fuck was that for!?".
My eyes widened as I thought about what could've happened.

I picked Aaliyah up and went downstairs.
I saw my mum ,who was clearly , crying , and then i saw my dad washing his bloody hands.
My dad also bandaged his hands and cleaned up the glass, none of them had noticed Aaliyah and I yet.
"Daddy hurt" Aaliyah whispered crying.

"You need to get a grip y/n! Stop this drinking for me! And if not for me for those two gorgeous kids upstairs! If you don't change back to your old self I will be leaving with the kids!" My dad said angrily.

He turned around and saw me and Aaliyah.
"I'm sorry you had to see that" he said quietly.
He took Aaliyah from me and held her on his hip .
"Go to my room Ethan, we can all sit in there" my dad said and I nodded going into his and mums bedroom.

He set Aaliyah down on the bed next to me and then he sat opposite us.
"Are you really going to get a divorce?" I asked.
My dad shrugged and sighed.
"I honestly don't know, I love your mum so so much, but I don't like the person she's been this past week, going out and getting drunk when she has kids. Divorcing her would kill me but I don't want you two to live in a house full of arguing" my dad explained.
"Daddy why were your hands bleeding?" Aaliyah asked.
"I hurt myself, that's all, Don't worry about me princess" he said.

"Can we see uncles tomorrow?" Aaliyah asked.
"Which? Uncle Greg or the boys?" I asked her.
"Boys, I get bored at uncle Greg's because I'm the only girl and Theo and Ethan are big boys" she said.
"What about auntie Denise?" I asked her.
"She's always with mummy,daddy and uncle Greg talking" She said.

"Daddy" Aaliyah said.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"Can i have a baby sister? So i have someone to play with?" Aaliyah said.
"If you had a baby sister, shd probably wouldnt be able to play with you until shes around 6 months old" my dad told hed.
"I dont care so can we?" She asked doing the puppy eyes that i taught her. Mum and dad can never resist our puppy eyes but it doesnt take as long for my dad to give in.
"Please" i said.
"You want a baby sister too!?" He asked surprised.
"Yeah because if i had a brothed they would steal my stuff" i said.
My dad let out a loud sigh and i knew he was slowly giving in.
"I guess it wouldnt be that bad having another baby in the house but i have to talk to your mum first , probably tomorrow" he said and me and aaliyah fist pumped.
