Me and Tyler huddled up together in her bed and cried.
We heard another thing to through the window. We heard dad yelling. We heard the door open and close. This means mom was home.

"Stay here Sam." Tyler looked worried.
We heard muffled yelling coming from downstairs.
Mom was yelling about the giant hole in the window.
Dad was yelling about how little her salary was.
Mom yelled. Dad yelled. Mom. Dad. Mom. Dad.
It kept going.

"I'm hungry!" I said to Tyler .
"I'll sneak down and try not to get into mom and dad's argument."
" Granola bar please! Two. Chocolate. "
"Got it!"
Tyler rushed downstairs.

She came back up with small yogurts and two granola bars.
"One for me, one for you!" Tyler said.
"Thanks!"
"I have a feeling that this will last a while." Tyler said.
" How bad was it? " I asked curiously.
"Moms crying while dad's pacing the house yelling."
" Do you have any good books? "
"I have The Midnight Vampire, Werewolves Crawling , and  Bitten in the Neck."
"Really! All horror stories!?"
" Uh ya"
"Tyler how old are you going to be?"
" 18"
" Can you buy a pink car? With leather seats. And little TV'S hooked up in the back of the seats? "
"Sure!" She said with a laugh.

We heard thumping up the stairs.
The door opened and dad appeared in the doorway.
" Hello. I just wanted you to know that me and mom are going our separate ways. "
"So are we!" Tyler said
" Wha................ "
"I'm going to be 18 in a WEEK! And I'm going to take full responsibility of Sam!"
"Well. Ok then!"
"Yes! It you And mom are just gonna keep arguing then I'm leaving!"
" Bye dad. " I said quietly
"Bye Sam!"
