chapter 1. Fights...
__

Dry Autumn Leaves crunched beneath your feet as you marched to the porch of your grandmother's house.

A dainty smile spread across your face seeing her come from behind the spring door.  A wide grin adorned her face, excitedly she waved her hand.

"Hello sweetheart," she called as you neared her.

Your arms spreading open as you hugged her tightly.  A warm feeling spreading inside you.

"Where's your mother?" She question.

"Oh- she wasn't getting off..."

Your grandmother frowned finally noticing the backpack on you.  "This all your stuff?"

You nodded curtly a frown ghosting it's way onto your lips, "she promised it would only be a week."

Your grandma heaved a sigh feeling horrible for you.  "Come on, we can go make cookies- and get your room ready," she forced a smile.

Nodding excitedly you followed along, your fifteen year-old mind almost forgetting why you were here.

...

"It's over!  I don't wanna see your stupid face anymore, pack your shit and get out!"

The pained expression on your mother's face caused your heart to sink.

"What are you on about this time [m,n]?!" Your father's voice was cold and dark, foreign to you.

"You heard me [d,n]!  Get your shit and leave!"

As a small whimper escaped your lips, trembling in fear. Instantly your mother's head shot back at you, horrified that you had caught her and your father fighting.

"[Name], come here baby," your mother cooed her voice a little trembly.

Within close proximity you could see her eyes, they were red and puffy, leaking tears.

"Hey princess," your dad cracked a smile.

You sniffled a little, looking both parents in the eye.

"You wanna go visit Grandma?" Your mother offered.

You shook your head no, tearing up a little as well. "No..." You hugged her tightly.

"Come on let go, pack some clothes in your backpack." She softly commanded.  "Go, I'll be there in a minute." She shoed you away.

Your heart sunk a little thinking of the memory.

But your grandma was there, she was here for you now...
