"What can you tell me about Amara's mother and step dad? Were they a genuine happy couple?"

"Uh... I don't know. Seems like they loved and fought just like any other married couple," Zya replied.

1 (1/3) years ago...

I sat in my room doing my regular night stretches that I was supposed to do before bed. I have school in the morning but I couldn't seem to go to sleep. I was in the middle of one of my stretches when I heard James and my mom arguing again. I tried to pay it no mind and continue doing my stretches when I heard a thud as if somebody fell.

I got off the floor before going to their room. I heard things falling but once I heard my mom say, "get off me!" I went to try and open the door but it was locked.

I banged on the door as I yelled, "Let me in!" Alana appeared by my side before my mom unlocked the door but James had drug her away from the door before she could open it. We opened the door before seeing James on top of our mom.

I tried to get him off her but he pushed me causing my little body to fly towards the door. Quinton came in and helped me off the floor before trying to get James off of my mom. I smashed a vase before taking one of the shards and holding it to James neck causing him to stop before looking up at me.

I guided him off of her with the piece of glass threatening to slice his throat at any moment.

"Don't you ever put your hands on my mother again," I gritted before taking the glass from his neck to see there was going to be a scar on his neck but he'll be alright.

We left out but my mom didn't come with.

"I just want to talk to him for a little. I'm fine," she said before I left taking the piece of glass with me.

I was about to close my door when I saw Quinton trying to come in. I let him in before closing my door.

"Hey... Listen I know you love ya moms and everything but can you not try to kill my dad?" He said before I put the piece of glass on my dresser.

"No," I said before turning back to him.

"What?"

"Listen, the way me, my mom and Alana work is we protect each other," I said.

"Okay and that's cute but next time I don't want to have to see my dad almost lose his life-"

"I don't give a fuck about what you want to see. I don't want to see my mother laying on the fucking ground getting beat the fuck up! So just know I'll kill you and him before I stand by and watch my mama get beat on. And if you have a problem with that then you can check me about it which you won't because at the end of the day I'm gonna stand by what I do. You're dismissed," I said before opening the door to let him out.

He was about to say something else but I slammed the door in his face. I was sick of everybody's shit at this point. I just wanted to go to sleep.
