My Only Mistake

1: Everyone Loves McD's!

"Connor. Tell me what you think about this situation."

My mind went all over the place, thinking about what to say.
The words I had in my mind was the honest truth but it was going to hurt both my parents.

I didn't want to hurt either of them but the words just came out.

"First of all, all I ever wanted was to solve this situation and I believe it is what we're doing right now but what I think will affect everyone in the room, except for you Doctor, but it is the truth.

Everytime I go to sleep, I sleep thinking about what will happen as I'm asleep.
The thoughts of hearing everything bang, blood on every single thing in the house, shouting that will wake up the neighbors,  my mom's cries... Oooh my mom's cries.

The sound that will forever torment my mind. I hear it everywhere I go. I hear it in my dreams, I hear it at school, I hear it everywhere.

I'm tired of being that weird kid that has no friends because of his insecurities.

But no one knows me. They don't know that I am the son of Abel Walker. The man who is known for the numerous charges in his name, all of them from women who were abused, physically, verbally, emotionally, shit, name all the abuses in the world, they're not new to him.

But no... My mom fell for his tricks and they got married and they had children.
Later on to find out his true colors and start abusing my mom.

I really feel like the only solution to this is divorce. But who am I to talk because mom will just say 'I love him. I can't let him go.'

Like, how do you love a man who is practically sending you to your deathbed?

I'm sorry if I hurt anyone but you asked me for the truth and here it is.

Now if you may excuse me, I'd like to get some fresh air."

I stood up from the couch and went out of the door, closing it behind to hear my parents arguing.

Every step I took felt like the floor was breaking as I stepped on it.
Every step feeling heavier and heavier as I lost my mind to thoughts.

What if what I said back there will change my relationship between my parents and I?

What if...

"Woah. Slow down. Where you headed to?" A voice said behind me, so close that it was sending shivers down my spine.

I turned around and saw Chloé standing there with folded arms and a smirk on her face.

I quickly hugged her, seeing that I haven't seen her in 4 months.

OK let me explain...

Chloé is my big sister and she is in university in France. She lives there with her roommate, Gabriel , who is also recently her boyfriend.

Don't ask me how she got mixed up in a room with a boy, I'm also trying to figure that out.

"I was heading outside for some air." I said, pulling away from her.

"Judging by the direction you were walking, if I hadn't stopped you in time, your face and the wall would be making out by now." She said, raising her eyebrow.

I looked at the wall in front of me and i was shocked by the small distance between us.

"Damn. The wall would've stolen my first kiss." I mumbled really lowly but It looks like Chloé heard me because she burst out laughing

I rolled my eyes and she looked at me with disgust. "What?"

"Isn't the rolling of eyes meant for females? Not males?"
