I watched as my alarm changed to 2:30 to 2:31am. I hear my parents slamming doors, cars doors slamming, car starting and someone screaming. There it was my every other day. I watched as my door cracked open little foot steps run to my bed. I feel someone climb inside my bed. Sam? I hear a little voice call out. Yes? I answered. Is dad gone? He asked with fear in his vioce. I don't know.. I said feeling horrible with my unknown answer I hate life. He whispered. Just then those simple words flashed me back to when I was 7 when my mom gave birth she looked at me and told me this was my fault my fault I made her mad to have another kid my fault her life sucked and that maybe her new kid would be the perfect child that I never was. Sam. said my little brother whispered snapping me back to reality. Yes? I asked. The people at my school they said their parents never fight. Said my brother. I didn't answer. I had no answer. Alex I love you. You know that right? I asked. Yeah. he said turning around and falling askeep. I watched as the sky turned dark to light. I got up early to check around the house to see if my mom and dad were both gone. I walked to my moms room. Mom in bed dad gone. I walked to the fridge. Sam? What are you doing? I turned around to see my brother Alex standing lonely. Alex go back to bed I'll be up in a minute. Where's dad? Asked alex. Sh! Go upstairs. No I can't sleep! Said alex. Alex! I said grabbing his mouth and looking at him in the eyes. Listen if mom wakes up it's gonna get bad I need you to go back up stairs now. I said turning him around. No. he whispered. Fine go get in the car you turd I said grabbing the keys. My brother snuck out to the car. I ran to go get a jacket and sables and ran back down stairs. I made sure my mom was still asleep and ran to the car. I drove the car to arbys. Dads gone. Alex said turning down the radio. I know. I said looking at the menu. I don't want anything. It's 5 am you haven't eaten for almost a day your getting something. I said grabbing my only 10 dollar bill. But this 10 isn't gonna pay for what I want he said shaking the ten dollar bill. what do you want? I asked. The Big Mac with fries and milk shake. he said looking miserable. Ok even tho it's in the morning and that's nasty I'll get it for you.i said. But what about your food you haven't eaten in a day. he said. I have more money I'll get something later at school. I lied. My only money was that 10 bucks. Ok he said turning to the radio. Soon after we got our food we headed home. Go straight up to my room and eat ok? I said. Yes understand. he said shoving food in his mouth I walked inside our house and watched as Alex ran upstairs to my room to eat. I walked to lay the keys on the counter when I noticed something odd. I walked back towards my parents room when i don't see my mom in bed. I had the car where could she have gone? I thouvht, but my thoughts slowly faded when I felt a tap on my shoulder. and then a slap a crossed my face.ouch I yelled as I fell to the ground. Your soo spoiled! My mom said walking away from me. How?! I said yelling back holding my burning cheek. She turned in a sharp turn looking at me with a sharp eye. Ha! You made dad leave you brat! She said getting closer to me. Sam! Said Alex running down the stairs. Stop! It's ok I said looking at Alex and telling him to go back up stairs. No no Alex baby boy come down here. she said. Alex.. I said pulling him closer to me in the corner. Oh boo hoo cry cry cry.she said grabbing my wallet. Where's my money! She said looking at me. Ha! What money? I said looking away. She grabbed my chin. listen I'm not in the mood you've already made dad leave where's my money I have you on Friday! She said pushing my chin away. I gave it to dad I lied. Oh corse! Why is it always about dad! Uh I'm your mom I raised you she started crying. Alex pulled closer too me he knew she was going to brake. Why!!! She screamed. I'm beautiful I'm wonderful I'm adorable! She said pulling Alex up. I'm very diss appointed in you! She said pulling him into the kitchen. I jumped up and ran to the kitchen. Now Alex don't move or it's going to get worse. same said getting out the paddle spoon. Stop! I said grabbing her arm. You rather take it? She said putting the paddle to my fave. The front door flew open. Mom threw down the paddle and was pretending to be talking to us. Oh Honey?! Your back the kids were just talking about how much they missed you! Said mom. Goodbye. he said shutting the bedroom door. Mom ran to his door as fast as she had forgotten I was still in the kitchen listening to their conversation. I remember when all of this was fine we had an amazing family our town adored us. I was the towns best piano player. My mom was my hero. but then it just twisted after my mom and dad were introduced to beer and a new baby boy. I listened as the door came flying opened. I feel to the ground. I'm so sorry. I said getting up fast. You! It's always you! Your ruining out family! You made you made your dad this way! Look look at this family! You ruined it! She said pointing her finger in my face. I watched as I saw my mom. Her hair that used to be the nicest hair all tangled up into a bun, her eyes that used to be a beautiful green were now shot red, her teeth that used to be white and perfectly straight were now stained yellow from beer and cricked from opening beer from her teeth. Leave that child alone! Said my dad. My mom turned. Your lucky your dads here. she said as she slide to act like she was grabbing apple juice but we all knew what it really was. te one thing that destroyed this family... beer.
