Mother Knows Best

WHY US

Laurens Pov
It's been two weeks since mom lost her job and a little later tonight she has an interview. I made sure the house was clean and Keith stayed quiet while she was sleeping. Right as I was about to sit down there was a knock at the door I opened it to be met by our neighbors Mr. And Mrs. Pratt stopping past to tell me that they'll be the ones keeping an eye on us while mom is out tonight. Time passes when Mom comes in half-awake muttering things to herself.

Sarah's POV
it's almost time for my interview to start and I don't know where the damn iron is that dumb hoe is always moving shit. I walk to the living room, where the kids are to ask that poor excuse I call a daughter, where the hell my iron is when I step on some legos? I look over to Keith peeking from the side of the couch so I threw the closest thing to me which so happens to be a heavy ass vase.

Keith's POV
I'm watching TV with Lauren when I hear a crunching sound coming from where Mama was walking so I peek from the couch and see it was Legos. Mom's hands were moving too fast for me to figure out what she was about to do as I was turning back to watch TV I felt something hit me causing me to fall

Lauren's POV
"I thought you were told to have this house clean," mom yelled. I didn't know what to say since I did clean I just didn't double-check. Before I could even form a sentence, my mom nudged past me causing me to step back into the glass also. Keith and I were cleaning up but our bleeding wasn't enough so she decided to throw another vase missing us but causing more shattered glass.

Sarah's POV
These damn kids are so lucky that I don't kill them. " chop-chop blood doesn't stop nothing get this shit up" I shout at them. I decided to have a little fun with the test of their reflexes a little bit. There was one last small to throw when a knock at the door caught me off guard.

Keith's POV
That knock at the door just saved us from more cleaning. I open it because I'm closer, to our neighbors Mr. And Mrs. Pratt with pizza and soda. "Sorry we're early you know women always want to make a good impression," Mr. Pratt said jokingly. Mom was quiet and for the first time, I think I saw her smile.

Sarah's POV
The neighbors came a little early to avoid them asking questions I told them "Excuse the mess the kids were just playing a little too rough causing the glass. I asked them if they could just give us a couple of minutes.

Lauren's POV
After the neighbors left she gave us this look and said: "If you say anything you'll be bleeding everywhere". I don't know rather be scared or just blow it off since she's always threatening to hurt us. She was ready to leave before heading out the door she stopped and glared" Remember what I said" We just nodded.
