2. Grocery shopping

Sam's Pov

I was woken up by a loud crash downstairs and some yelling. I rushed out of bed and ran down to see what happened. Dad had turned the coffee table upside down, and it's all broken into pieces, there's glass everywhere. I stood there horrified as he yelled at mum.

"You fucking bitch! You see what you made me do." He roared and she got up and jabbed her finger into his chest, her face red.

"It's not my fault! You told me to keep it. For what? What are we going to do now? Let her out in the streets?!" She yelled back and my heart raced. Are they talking about...... me? Couldn't they see me standing at the bottom of the stairs hearing everything? Do they not care?

"You said she would be useful, she hasn't been. All she does is eat our food and annoy our lives. You get her out." Dad roared and I heard my heart shatter into pieces. They are talking about me.

I leaned against the wall shakily and held my stomach, I felt nauseous. They're getting rid of me. Why? I wasn't enough? Did I not do enough? Should I have done more?

I ran up to my room, sobbing all the way and diving into bed, crying my heart out. Why are they doing this? Do they have no love for me? Not at all? 

My mind was in a mess, I didn't know what to do. Where was I going to go? Would they make me leave now? Today?

"Get down and make us breakfast. I want eggs." Mom banged her fist on my door startling me. Weakly, I stood up and wiped the tears away, took a quick shower, got changed and went down.

"Clean this up after you're done," Dad muttered lazily, his eyes glued to the TV.

"Yes sir," I whispered and went to the kitchen. I proceeded with breakfast, making eggs for both of them and a single toast for me, hoping they would let me eat. Just as I was plating the food, mum came down all changed and sat down reaching for a coffee.

"Sit," she ordered me. I tensed for a bit and obeyed immediately, my head down. She slid a toast onto my plate and placed a bit of the egg I made for her into it as well. I froze in surprise and glanced at her.

"Eat," she said. I nodded and took my fork.

"Thank you," I whispered and she didn't say anything further. We were silent, just the sound of us chewing and the TV. Dad was still on the sofa. I quickly finished my food and started cleaning everything.

"I'm going out, I'll be back at night. Clean the coffee table mess and go to the store and get some meat and potatoes for dinner, the list is there. Here's the cash." She told me, again I was surprised. They never let me out alone. All I did was nod. She left the house. I continued to clean the countertops and dishes. 

Could I stop at the coffee shop and tell that girl 'thank you' for yesterday? God, I hope they don't find out. I'll be quick. I thought to myself. I'm never gonna get this chance again for sure.

"Dad, your breakfast is on the table," I whispered timidly as I walked over to the sofa. He doesn't say anything, and I sighed softly and walked away. I went upstairs and changed into some better clothes, going to my drawer, taking out the note, and rereading it again, smiling to myself.

I stared at myself in the mirror longer than usual today, I think I look pretty okay. I mean, I don't know. I'd like to make a good impression. I blushed to myself realizing how stupid this is. She was just a random girl. That's it.

A random girl who gave you food and a nickname because she wanted to.

My subconscious muttered back to me. I shook my head. No. Maybe she was just a nice person and wanted to do good things for someone else. I bit my lip as I stared at the note again.
