Angelica's POV

Today nothing has happened, not yet at least. Both of my parents are at work. I'm in awe because they kept their jobs. I'm glad their not here, no arguing for at least a couple of hours. I soon get a call from my sister Chloe. " Hey!" She exclaims. " Hi." I say. " How are you?" She asks. I wanna lie but I can't. I need a way to get all of my feelings out. " Not good." I reply. I hear a sigh on the other line. " What's wrong?". " Mom and Dad." I tell.

" What's going on with them?" She wonders. " Dad's drinking more, so is mom, also their arguing so much." I explain. " That sucks, hope it get's better." She tells. " Yeah, how are you?" I ponder. " I'm great, I got a girlfriend!" She giggles. I smile knowing that at least Chloe is doing well. " What's her name?" I ask. " Chloe." She retorts. " Cool, ttyl." I say. " Bye!" She exclaims.

I soon hear the my  phone ringing. " Mom?" I ask. " Hey, I'm gonna be home later tonight." She tells. I hesitate before responding. " Uh ok, see ya then." I tell. " Yep, bye." She says. I end the call and my thoughts start wandering. Was she cheating or doing drugs? I decided to not think too much about it.

*5 hours later*

My dad came home awhile, my mom still didn't come home. It's 9:30 pm she's been gone for like 3 hours. I'm starting to get a little worried, my mom isn't a good  person but I love her. I walk out into the living room to see my dad not passed out. " Dad, do you know where mom is?" I ask. We make eye-contact. " No, why the fuck does it matter!" He yells. " I was just wondering, no need to be a dick about it." I scoff. I put my hand over my mouth, I regret saying that. He gets up and walks over to me. " What did you say to me!" He yells.

I start breathing heavy, no words can make it out my mouth. " Answer the goddamn question!" He orders. " I-said-I-" I stammer, my father cuts me off. " Say it!" He screams. I feel tears pouring down my cheeks, " I said that I was just wondering, no need to be a dick about." I tell, He slaps me. I look up at him in shock. The shock is taking over, no other reaction. Then he grabs my hair and hit's my head on the wall.

That's the last thing I see before just darkness..
