   I sigh as I sit on the roof of my home. I look up at the night sky and rest my head back. I listen to the night as I start to drift off to sleep. When I finally wake back up the sun is starting to rise. I sit up and rub my eyes. I wonder if my parents are still fighting inside but before I can even move my Father comes rushing outside to go to work. I hear my mother calling after him and I climb closer to hear.
"You are so stupid! I know you fucking cheated on me!  Don't you dare come back EVER!" my mother screams as I see thee tears run down her face.
"Shut your mouth you disgusting woman. You don't need to wake the entire village because you aren't a good woman," my father replies as he walks away.
"I'll be back after work you best have your shit together by then," as my father says that he leaves my vision of site.
  Knowing exactly what was going to happen when my mom gets back into the house I sprint across the roof to the tree next to it. I throw myself onto the tree and climb down in a hurry. I rush to the window and throw my small shaped body inside. You hear a small thump as my body hits the floor. I rush over to my bed and climb in as I throw the covers over my body. I hear the front door slam shut and a few hard footsteps. I then hear my mom wake my older sister up and yell at them to make breakfast. My mom slams into my room and yells me and my younger brother to get out of bed. She slams our door shut and goes to get the toddlers out of their room. I hurry out of bed and get dressed. I help my little brother get dressed as he usually struggled to.
"You know you really have to stop being stupid and figure out how to get dressed yourself, You're already 4!" I say to him with a smile.
"Oh shut up you big goof! You know you love to take care of me!" My little brother giggles as he pushes me away.
"Come on we need to get food in your skinny body," I say as I push him to the kitchen.
My mother comes out holding the baby and walking my baby sister. She puts the one year old in her seat and grabs the baby's bottle she walks into the living room to feed her real quick. I help my brother into his seat and make him his plate. I give my brother and my little sister their plates and help my older sister clean up. There is only one toast left besides the food on mom's plate.
"Eat it, you need it more your losing weight," my sister says as she cleans the dishes.
"I had it yesterday it is your turn today. I'll be fine for one day, and I'm not the only one losing weight," I say as I poke her stomach.
She rolls her eyes but decides to not fight about it. She eats the toast quickly as I grab the kids plates. I clean their plates really quick and help them off their chairs. As I wash over the table my mom comes into the room. She hands the baby to my sister and starts to eat her food. My sister and I stand in there as the cleaning is done so now we need to know what she wants. My mother stops eating and turns to us.
"This taste like absolute shit. Are you trying to kill me?" she asks pointing her fork at us.
"N-no mother we just-," I start to answer but I get cut off by my mother slamming the food over my head.
"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" she screams at me.
"Mom stop you could hurt him!" my sister screams as she reaches out to help me.
"Shut up and take the baby to its room. I need to have a little chat with your brother," she says in a stern voice.
"Yes mother," my sister mutters as she gives a sorry look to my trembling body.
  I turn to watch my sister go I try and stop my body from shaking. My mother turns to me as my sister walks away and looks me in the face. I feel myself holding back tears as my legs start to shake. I put my hand on the table next to me to keep my stability.
"So lets chat shall we," my mother says with an evil grin.
