Once mam came home,she came straight upstairs. Dad was sleeping on the sofa as usual. Peter and Emily was fast asleep,since it was 1:30 in the morning. Mam got dressed into her night clothes and sat on the bed next to me,once i told her what happened that night mam was very angry. I knew she couldn't have done or said anything to dad,we was all too scared of him.
The next morning Peter came in to mam's room,he told her what happened and he showed her his arm,his arm was covered in bruises. We started to talk about mam and dad's divorce. Our decision was more serious and was ready to leave and start a new life.
Mam and i was looking at houses to rent,not too far away from school. We found one not too far away,behind the area of town. We decided to go and visit this house on the weekend,we told dad we was just going to the park.
Once we arrived at this house there was a man standing outside waiting for our arrival. He took us in and gave us a tour,the bedrooms was decent size's and the house was manageable. But there was one slight problem,the owner didn't know either to put it up for rent,or for buying. Mam couldn't afford to buy.
A few days later we found out that it wasn't up for rent,but that was ok because we had another house in mind. It was only around the corner from the school,which was easy to walk since we lost the car. After school we went and visited the house,and I immediately felt safe.
I already felt at home at this house,it wasn't far from the school,my high school bus stop was only across the road,and it was the same bus as Peter cought for comp. I'm not sure what it was about that house,I felt safe there.
