'this was the first time I noticed the deep red stain on my parents room door, but then again this was also the first time I was standing this close to my parents door,
Eavesdropping.
The sound of thunder vibrated all around the house and I let out a shaky gasp from fear, For a second I held my breath fearing that mom and dad had heard me, but after a few seconds of me praying that I wasn't caught I realized Mom and Dad were too busy arguing to hear me.
"you are changed our lives for the very worst Linda !"
I heard dad shout from inside the room.
He sounded Angry but mostly tired, as though he was frustrated and couldn't do anything about the situation anymore.
"It wasn't only my fault and you know it!"
Mom shouted back at dad
When dad Dad spoke again his words left me in shock, I didn't realize that I had thrown the door of my parents room open and was standing in my their room until I noticed wide eyes staring wide eyes staring back at me.
