    I could see blurry shapes forming, after a few seconds I could finally see what my vision was. It was my kitchen table I was placed exactly where I sat, my sister across from me, dad on my right, and mum on my left. It was tense, you could cut the air with a knife. It became very hard to breathe. 

     My sister murmured something I couldn't understand because I wasn't focusing on her voice I was focusing on my breathing. My vision shifted to my dad and he said something and glared at my sister, my sister spit in his direction. My vision shifted to my mum and she looked shocked. Then my sister stood up and flipped the table towards me.

    The vision began to fade out and I could see again when everything was clear again my mum was yelling at me to get my elbows off the table and to stop being rude, I apologized and sat up straight. once my parents sat down we began to eat. It was dead silent, the air was so tense you could cut it with a knife. The vision is about this supper, maybe I can change what's going to happen. It was still quiet, a few cough's now and then but it was silent. after a couple minutes that felt like hours my sister murmurers something,

    "tired of this shit." I heard my dad's utensils hit his plate,

    "excuse me young lady what did you just say?" She glared at him. I began to cough to maybe get one of them to stop and look towards my direction.  But it was no use, my sister did exactly what my vision showed me. She spits in his direction, he stood up and pointed down at her while screaming at her. I was so uncomfortable, I didn't know how to react, I remembered what her next move was gonna be so I began to slide my chair back. My mum yelled,

    "stop this instant! That is enough!" I kept backing up as my sister looked back at our mum,

    "both of you can fuck off! I'm done!" Then things began to slow down as if things were in slow motion. My sister faced the table and placed her hands under the table. 


Oh no, here we go, She flipped the table towards me. I covered my face while listening to my mum gasp, the table pushed me back and made me fall backward off of my chair. the huge table slammed on top of me as I groaned in pain. My dad ran over and pulled the table off of me, my brain began to throb I could've stopped this, I could've stopped this, why didn't I change anything. My dad was staring at me concerned while trying to help me get up. I tried to get up but my muscles were hurting. I gasped in pain and laid back down, my mum was screaming,

    "Jessica you are so grounded!" my sister rolled her eyes and walked upstairs to her room. My mum ran over to me and yelled my head upon her lap as she wiped off food from my clothes and face.

    "I'm so sorry Emily, I promise she will be grounded for a long time for this." My dad said sadly looking down at me. I winced in pain while trying to get up, after a couple minutes I was able to get up and see the carnage around me. Ugh, love my life, I never asked for this. I never asked for any of this. My parents helped me to my bed and I sat up thinking about everything that happened today. New kid, insane sister, sad Mark, no parents, no real family, seeing things that happen after I see it. I'm losing everything... Actually, no, you can't lose anything if you never had anything in the first place. The only thing I can lose is my mind, and God only knows where that is.
