Dedicating this chapter to all my readers out there. Enjoy and happy new month to you

...as I opened the door to the house, the sight in front of me was awful and terrifying. The house was turned upside down, everywhere was literally scattered. I walked in to see more mess upon mess, this was a disaster. As I approached the parlour I saw Toby jumping up and down on the dining table with dad's papers on the floor, he was about to hit the flower vase off the table. I ran as fast as my tiny legs could carry me, "Toby no!!!", I screamed. I was too late to catch the vase and it hit the floor shattering to a thousand pieces.

Toby was my one month old puppy. After much pleading, begging and convincing dad they'll behave dad finally got me two puppies on Saturday. I was still having trouble taming them because they were just too playful and hyperactive. Toby and Angela are siblings, much to my despair they were just a month old thus they haven't received much training if at all any sef, it was up to me to give them the training they needed. Dad would kill me if he finds out about this, it was the main reason he didn't want me to have a dog even though he loved them because I was still too young to take care of them.

"Toby!!, bad dog, bad dog, look at the mess you made all over the house", Toby barked innocently wagging it's tail jumping up and down, he looked like he wanted to play fetch but that would be later. He was just too cute for me to stay angry at. I picked him up and went over to pick my bag from where I dropped it while I was running.
"Now where could your sister be?", I wondered but first off I took him to the room and put him into his cage so he won't give me trouble as I look for Angela.

I searched literally everywhere for Angela but I didn't find her. I was going to the dining to clean the vase mess before it hurts someone when I heard Angela's bark from the kitchen. "ohh no", I ran to the kitchen and it was in a big mess, the pots were on the floor, the cereal littered the table and the floor but I didn't see Angela.
"Angela baby, where are you?", I tried cooing in the smallest voice I could and she barked again, I followed her barks and found her under a pot, I wonder how she got there sef. I stretched out my hand and she jumped on me.

I took her to her cage and locked her up, I'm sure they had way too much fun turning the house into a dump, now I have to clean up after them before dad gets back. I quickly took off my uniform and wore a big tee with loose shorts then I started up with the waiting room and worked my way into the house depending on the places dad would go to once he gets back. After a long hour and half I was done with the waiting room, parlour and dinning room, it was hard work because I had to pack the poop that was littered all over the place and mop the floor too.

I tried gluing the vase back together but it didn't work so I disposed them in the bag of trash, hopefully dad won't find out, who am I kidding that was dad's favorite vase, the only vase he found worthy to be placed on the dinning table, he will definitely notice it's gone. I went to the kitchen to start cleaning up, I picked up the pots and utensils then swept the cereal and mopped the floor to remove any dirt I didn't get. Finally I was done, it took me two long hours but I'm finally done.

I took my shower then went back downstairs to supervise my work, I decided to take out the trash so that dad won't find out when he gets back. I wasn't going to leave the dogs all alone, I put their leashes on them and was on my way to take out the trash. As I opened the door to leave dad drove into the compound. "Oh shit", I'm in for some scolding, before I could run inside and hide the bag dad called out for me.
"Sir"
"What do you have in that bag?", he said pointing to the bag of trash.

"Oh, this, it's nothing dad, just thought I should take out the trash"
"Oh really?"
"Yes", I tried as much as I could to lie as I looked everywhere but his face.
"I don't believe you because as of this morning there was no trash that needed to be taken out except if someone or something made a mess right?", dad said looking at me suspiciously, then my dogs and then me again.
"What? that's not true"
"Are you trying to say I'm lying?"
"No I...I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just saying that you can't be hundred percent sure of what you said."

"Alright then, why don't we confirm who's lying by checking the security footage", security footage? oh boy I'm doomed.
"Security footage? We don't have a security camera", dad walked over to the dinning and took out a camera that was hidden behind the flower pot then he went to the kitchen and came back with another camera.
"Let's watch the video shall we?" I gulped then nodded my head, we watched everything right from when we left the house to when Toby and Angela ran downstairs and tore the house apart to when I came back and attempted to stop dad's favorite vase from breaking.

Once the vase broke dad paused the video and looked at me furiously.
"Amanda my vase" he shouted, I shifted back a bit. He played the video from the kitchen after which he turned his full attention to me and looked at me with so much anger. He hasn't gotten this angry in a very long time, the first was when mom cheated on him and they divorced. I waited for him to scold me but he didn't, rather he paced back and forth for a really long time while I sat there waiting for my judgement. After a while he raised his voice at me in anger.

"Amanda!!!! You had just one thing to do, one damn thing to do which was to take care of those dogs and you let them break my vase and tear down my house."
"I didn't mean to", I said in a light voice.
"Of course you didn't", he scoffed.
"Why on Earth will you in your right senses let dogs you haven't trained run loose in the house"
"I'm sorry dad, it slipped my mind, I promise I won't let them loose again", I tried to save myself but at this point I don't think there's a saving me.
"Will sorry being back the vase?", I kept quiet.

"Answer me child, will sorry bring back the damn vase?"
"No"
"Then don't sorry me, do you hear, don't tell me sorry"
"Dad it's just a vase, I'll get you another one I promise"
"Don't try my patience child before I design that your face with hot slaps this evening"
"What's your problem sef, it's not like the vase is irreplaceable, it's a dumb stupid vase for Christ sake", I had barely finished my sentence and dad slapped me hard across the face within seconds.

"Don't you ever dare raise your voice at me young lady, I'm your father, if anyone should be raising their voice in this situation it's me and not you", dad shouted at the top of his voice. I had never seen dad this upset before in my entire life but I never thought he could raise his hands at me. At this point I was crying, I tried to clean it but the more I tried the more it falls. When dad realised what he did and had calmed himself down, he tried to reach out to me but I backed out, with my right hand on my cheeks I withdrew from the parlour, took the dogs and the trash bag and left the house without uttering a word to him.
