Today was somewhat uneventful. The most that happened happened while I was supposed to be asleep. I would've been, too, except my parents were fighting again.

My parents' relationship was always weird, though. Hell, my dad left us when I was eight and Ariel was five. The only reason he came back was when Ariel was in the hospital due to pneumonia. Yeah, it took him a year, but I can't say that I wasn't happy to have him back.

But that was then, and this is now. As of now, I'm currently seventeen years old (and Ariel just turned fourteen) and things between my parents have only gotten worse. And tonight was like a fucking bomb. They were having a screaming match about something and the next thing I hear is my dad slamming the front door and my mom crying. I would've gone down there to comfort her, but I know that I would've caused more pain because I was just a reminder that she would have two kids to raise by herself.

And the more I think about it, the more I realize that it's my fault my parents are constantly at each other's throats. From what my mom told us, they used to be so happy until I was conceived. They were just two stupid college kids and I was an unplanned (and unwanted) child. After I was born, she and my dad married and everything fell apart after that. At least, when this is all said and done, she'll have one less child to worry about.
