I shoved the house key into the front door and turned it to the side. The door made the clicking sound so I knew it had unlocked, I took out the key and opened the door.
"Hey mijo," my dad said tossing some cards onto the table. He wasn't smiling. He never was.
"Hey," I took off my shoes and started up the stairs.
"What are you doing," he said signaling for me to come back down.
I stopped and turned around, "nothing," I said walking into the kitchen and leaning onto the counter.
He put a hand over his forehead, "what's up with your chemistry grade?" he said flopping another envelope on the table, "you used to have perfect grades, Montgomery, what's up with that, now you have a 72?!"
I looked down at the floor in silence.
"ANSWER ME!" he yelled slamming his hand on the table.
I flinched, still looking down at the floor.
He walked over to me and grabbed me by the shirt collar, "I swear to god you little shit, you better bring that fucking grade up before I make you go fucking live on the streets," he said, his face was bright red and spit was flying at my face when he spoke.
"do you understand me?" he said in a strict voice.
I gave no answer my head down, "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!" He yelled, I could smell the beer in his breath.
"yes," I whispered, staring at the wall to my side in the verge of tears.
"WHAT?" He said getting closer to me.
"I SAID YE-"
His hand flew across my face, sending me to the floor.
"Don't EVER speak to me like that again," his footsteps echoed up throughout the house as he walked up the stairs.
My face was tingling but my heart was numb, a single tear fell from the corner of my eye.
I was used to the pain.

I lay in bed on my side staring at the sunset through the window, I flipped over and checked my phones the time read 4 o'clock. I couldn't stop thinking about Winston since that night, and especially now when I needed someone to hold or even be held by. I needed him.
I slowly creeped out of bed and creaked the door open. I noticed my dad sleeping in bed in the next room. I was careful where I was stepping because I didn't want to wake him up. I put my backpack on and slowly opened the door next to me. I clicked the button to unlock my car and got in. I drove off down my street to go to Winston's house. He lived 10 minutes away but that wasn't a problem since he was only meeting Cj at 6 or something. I checked my phone to look at the time, 4:03pm. I had only driven to his house twice since the party last summer but I had driven there enough to memorize the way. It felt as if time was going by faster and faster. The sun was almost down so I turned in my headlights and I was almost out of gas, but I had to get this done before he met with Cj, I needed to tell Winston that I needed him, to let him know. I checked the time once again, it was 4:12pm. How was it already so late? I was turning in on his street, Mulberry Lane and all was good, until it wasn't. I felt my heart drop, Winston's car was pulling out of his driveway right as I was getting there, I could see his face but he definitely couldn't see mine because of the bright light. He put a hand over his face, squinting his eyes and kept pulling out if his driveway. He looked away and drove off, down the street and to the diner. But I wasn't stopping there. So I put my car back in drive and followed him there.
