Mia's Pov
"Honey, could you please set the table for me, the way Daddy likes it!"
Mummy looked panicked, the same as she did everyday before Daddy came home. Mummy used to be so beautiful, but dark shadows had become a permanent feature on her face and her weight seemed to plummet more and more everyday.It wasn't her fault. Ever since the argument Mummy and Daddy had last year, nothing had been the same. Liam, my big brother, is the only person that truely looks after me and my twin brother, Dean. I wish it wasn't like that though. I wish that Liam could just be a normal teenage brother. But he can't. He is the only person that can help Mum. My Daddy should, but he doesn't. All he does is be horrible. He makes our lives hell.
Daddy always wants everything to be perfect when he comes home. If it's not, then he gets angry. So I have to make sure the table is set out the way he likes it. I'm such a klutz though, i'll probably ruin something! Four weeks ago, I accidently dropped a glass on the floor. It broke so Daddy got really angry. He threw the broken bits of glass at me. I still have some scars.
Dean walked into the room, playing with his toy plane that he got for his birthday.
"Dean, honey, you need to put that away. You know what your Dad will do if he see's it. He didn't even know that I bought it for you." Mummy said. Dean's huge smile dropped from his face, his ocean blue eyes losing there shine while he just put the plane behind the TV. All of us knew what Daddy would do and none of us liked it.Liam walked in the room and started helping Mum straight away. It was now 5:50pm.We Still had 10 minutes left. He always came home at 6:00pm.
The door opened and all four of us froze. He was early. He was never early. This was bad. Dinner wasn't ready. He always wanted dinner ready straight away. What were we going to do?
"Hi kids!" He greeted, walking into the room. He had a massive smile on his face but it dropped immedietly. He obviously had noticed dinner wasn't ready. What a waste of his good mood. He was hardly ever in a good mood.
"Why isn't dinner ready?" He asked Mummy.
"It will be in a minute, you just arrived early, that's all." She replied, calmly. I never knew how she did this. She always managed to stay calm. But I guess she had too.
"I'm only a couple of minutes early, dinner should be ready. You haven't got a job, so you don't have anything else to do anyway." Daddy's voice was getting louder and louder until he was roaring with anger.
"You were seeing someone, weren't you? That's why you didn't have time to cook dinner. You little bitch. I married a fucking slut and had fucking kids with one aswell."He slammed his hand down onto the table, making me jump. I went to go stand with Liam. He looked so worried. If Liam was worried, it was always going to be bad. I took his hand even though it was all sweaty. He looked down at me, trying to form some sort of smile. He didn't have to pretend everything was okay, I knew it wasn't.
Daddy turned to me, his eyes softened.
"Come here princess." He beckoned. I hated it when he said that, I wasn't his princess anymore.I didn't want to let go of Liam's hand. But I still walked over to Daddy obediently. If I didn't, who knows what would happen.
"Don't turn like Mummy and become a whore when your older, okay?" He asked, softly.
"But Mummy didn't do anything wrong." I immedietly regreted saying that when I felt a sharp pain on my cheek.
Before I could even comprehend it, he landed his fist on my other cheek. Tears started to form in my eyes only leading him to hit my stomach as well. I held my stomach in pain as the tears cascaded down my already sore cheeks.He turned to Mummy, pulled her to the floor and started kicking her. The tears wouldn't stop. He is hurting MY Mummy. He kicked her over and over and was swearing and calling her names. Mummy couldn't do anything, she was already weak, and now? Well she was hopeless!
I tried to get up but instead, Liam picked me up and grabbed Dean's hand. He took us into my room, closing the door behind him.
"Listen to me, stay here and lock the door when I leave. Don't come out until I come back, okay?" He asked. His voice shaking.
"Okay Liam, what are you going to do?" Dean questioned, fear stamped on his face.
"Don't worry, just look after Mia for me, I need you to do that until I come back."
"Okay."
Liam ran off, kissing both of our heads before he did so. Dean then locked the door behind him. He came over to me, pulled me into a hug and we both cried
as we listened to what was happening downstairs.
