      So my next earliest memory was when I was about 4 or 5 and it was a Saturday or Sunday I can't remember but what me and my sisters usually did was always play out side or office, store, or school. But today we were watching tv and we could always hear my parents arguing and it was always on a daily routine but today it was different because we could hear them arguing and then we hear a loud bang and my mother scream and we hurry to the bathroom and my father had a gun in his hand and we now had a new hole in the ceiling. Then we look over and we see my mother crying on the ground next to the toilet and we started crying and my father sent us out.
       The next day we went to school and I thought we were going to have a normal routine today but this day ended in a way I never thought would happen. When we got to school around 4th or 5th period somebody called me into the office. Can you think who we'll I'll tell you it was CPS which means that someone had heard the gun shot at our house and called CPS but I was too young to know what they really were for and they asked me a lot of questions about my father and then they asked me a very certain question that made my father mad. They asked me if he had shot a gun or had a gun at the house and I was to young to know better and I told them the truth and they asked if I was sure and I told yes.
But silly me thought that if I told them they would leave us alone but it only made it worse because they then cane to the house and my father was already mad and they told him that I told them the truth and he gave me a glare that I will never forget because it scared me down to my bones.
They stayed for a few hours and left and when they left my father slapped me and when he did I cried and I Huddled into a ball because I didn't want to be hit again and I was so scared. He started yelling at me saying "don't you ever tell anybody what happens in this house it is none of their damn business!" then he would tell me " are you trying to go to a foster home where you won't be able to see your family or your sisters because they will split you up." and I started crying more because I never wanted that.
