It All Started when I was FLUSHED down the TOILET

"How was school pumpkin?"My dad asked his voice lacking the enthusiasm it often had.

As soon as I walked through that door that was the first thing he said to me.

I tried to sneak past the living room and up the stairs but before that happened; he said it.

The words that could make a person's day or set off a nuclear bomb.

But, I knowing that playing dumb could save lives I just...

"It was great. Met some people..."

"Oh so your face met somebody's fist?"He demanded.

I sighed deeply and made my way into the dining room meeting their disappointed faces.

"I get that these things happen all the time but they're getting out of hand."

I removed my cap placing it on the dining table and heard my mother's startled gasp.

She saw the black eye and cut lip of course.

"Chloe, this is too much."My mom said getting up out of her seat.

She stepped up in front of me and cupped my face a tear falling down her cheek.

Feeling guilty I looked down taking interest in my tommees.

Her hand fell and she took a step back.

The silence was gnawing at me.

I knew what I did was wrong, but they'd never actually confronted me about it.

I raised my eyes a bit awaiting a punishment but nothing came.

They left.

"Young man!I did not raise you to be like this.I expected better from you."My mother said roughly.

I nearly pissed myself when I first saw her.

Her hair was up in a ponytail. And when it's in a ponytail you know she's pissed.

The last time her hair was in a pony tail she whipped my older brother Noah's ass with a broom.

It was funny to watch at first, but when she saw that I was watching; she threatened to beat me with it.

My dad had been quiet the entire time just nodding his head submissively.

Alright, let me be completely honest here.

My mom wears the pants in this family.

And we're all terrified of her, especially me.

My dad wasn't scared of her.

Obviously because he married her.

And because he had three blackbelts but he preferred to stay home to cook for us.

And man he was the best cook.

He raised a finger to speak but she pinched his lips in between her two fingers.

"And another thing. I have told you many times to stay away from that boy Axel."

I nodded my head in understanding.

"But mom he offended Chloe."

She furrowed her already furrowed eyebrows, "I love that girl Simon but I think she can defend herself."
