2014- 8years old October 31'st

Sticks and stones may break you're bones but words can never hurt you
I kept mumbling this to myself taking in slow breaths as I walked down the sidewalk just finishing trick or treating
My 4 year old sister decided to be a whitch even though I told her that that was a very common costume for people to wear
My brother David on the other hand was only one so he was just being fat and happy eating one of my cherry lollipops that he stole
As my mother pushed David down the street near our temporary brick house her and my dad went on to conversations I did not want to be apart of
I could just tell by the way mom glared and scrunched up her nose that they where going to have a yelling match
For our family it was normal to scream
Honestly I didn't think much of it due to the fact that it happened so often actually almost every day now that I thought of it
We walked through the screen door and my mom put David in his play pin in Lyndseys and my room
You see we weren't the perfect family,my mother had me when she was just 16 and later on had my siblings
We weren't the family's you see smiling in a family photo framed and hanging on the wall
And if we where smiling it was fake.
We weren't the family to lightly bicker with each other and run around the house laughing and smiling like crazy people
Instead we where the second class family sitting in a brick house with my uncle on an old tattered couch watching him count his pills,later to watch him eat them like breath mints,which he also desperately needed all the time
You see uncle Wayne wasn't actually our uncle he was actually a very close friend of my mom's who had took us into his home and let us eat his food
He was a lonely old man with half a half head and fat too,and from what I saw he watched allot of porn
I know I'm only eight but I knew what porn was
I mean come on 90% of people know what sex is by the age of 6
All in all I felt bad for the old man and occasionally thought he always nasty by the way he looked at me
He was also extremely rich from what I had heard
But what can I say, he had chocolate Hershey kisses in his freezer so,he was trustworthy right?
Yelling soon became the only sound you could hear in the house
It came from my parents room
"God damn it!" My mom yelled I flinched at the loud noise and knew I had to protect Lyndsey
I covered her ears and dragged her to my room only to get her in pajamas and get her to sleep
As soon as she hit the bed she was sound asleep, snoring like a lawn mower as always
I rolled my eyes and lay on the bed listening to my parents scream at one another
My mom just the let out a blood curdling scream that sent shivers down my spine I sat up from the top bunk bead and heard Lyndsey sniffle
I climbed down the steps and sat next to her hugging her as my mom continued to yell and hit my dad from what it sounded like
"I'm scared" Lyn said as I rocked back and forth
"I know" I all I manged to whisper in her ear as she fell back asleep
"Jarod! Go away!" My mom wailed
That was when I started to get ticked off
I patted my way down the unswept hallway and made it to the bathroom
Mom was sitting on the toilet while my dad yelled at her from the sink area
Her hear layed buried in her hands as she mumbled bad words under her breath
My dad stepped closer and glared
But I could still see the sadness in his eyes
"Pa-" he went to yell her name and that was when I stepped between them crying like a child
"Stop! Stop stop just stop it!!!!" I screamed loud making sure they could hear me
Heck China probably heard me
My mom and dad froze looking at me in disbelief
"Why can't your ever stop fighting why can't y'all just be happy with each other? you're about to wake up my brother and my sister and I'm about tired of it y'all fight like a little children! I'm sick of it we're trying to have a good night! we had a good night up until now I love both of you! But you two are acting stupid! we cant you just get along!?!!"
I put my hands up between the both of them
"Why can't you just LOVE EACH OTHER?!" i wailed
No one answered
It was silent
"We do love each-" I cut of my mom and stomped out slamming my bedroom door and locking it
Now I lay on my bed staring at the wall where a smiling family portrait is supposed to be
Instead the dead tree branches tap on my cracked window in the Texas air
My mom and dad are still yelling
This was when I was young
And there's so much more
~~~~~~~~~Hey I'm 13 and this is a biography
I'm planning to make this into 3 or 4 books because this is a long ride
My mom left when I was eight
I felt like my voice was lost during the process
But Wattpad is how I bring my voice back
