Tough Love

chapter 1~ here we go again

TRIGGER WARNING: SWEARING, ABUSE, ALCOHOL, BLOOD

♥︎♤

Me and my Sister were walking home from the mall and as we were approaching our house we heard screaming and yelling coming from inside.

We looked at eachother with worried faces and rushed inside. Just as we walked in, we saw broken glas on the floor and books all over the place.

my mom was yelling at my dad as he looked unbotherd by the situation and smoked a cigarette and drank as always, she was accusing him of cheating as she saw antother woman leave the house when she came home.

We were not amused by the situation as she always accused him of cheating to get away from him, but we never paid that much attention to the situation,

you may be thinking why wouldn't she just leave him and we asked her that question every time but she just said " i can't leave it's not the right time" we just never understood her she would complain and talk about him but stayed with him

Our home is not big and not too small we lived in a bigger house in Phoenix when we were younger with a backyard and playground.

but one day dad came and said that we needed to pack our stuff because we were moving to Los Angeles we didn't know why and still we don't know why we just randomly moved.

Our New house was good for us five, my parents, me, my older brother Lorenzo and little sister Alessia. So everything we saw or heard was very clearly.

My parents always fought so it was nothing New for us. sometimes it got so bad that me and my siblings would have to sleepover at our friends house.

my bestfriend Lilly was always there for me when i needed her and never judged me, i was always welcome at her house.

i know her since i was 10years old and ever since then we became inseparable we would always play together and sleepover at eachothers house,

she knew all the problems with my family so when me and my sister were at her house she knew that my parents were fighting and she let us stay over.

My brother was usually in his room or was at his friends house, while me and my sister had to do everything around here Cook, clean and tidy the place all up after every argument.

But when we saw the mess infront of us we knew things have gotten out of hand, my Mother stopped screaming and went to her room. Not even giving us a glance.

my dad saw us standing there watching, he started yelling at us clearly drunk "COSA STAI GUARDANDO EH?"
(Translate: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT HUH?)

"CLEAN THE FUCKING MESS THAT YOUR STUPID MOTHER MADE, AND GO LOOK WHERE YOUR PATHETIC BROTHER IS SO THAT HE CAN BUY ME MORE CIGARETTES"

me and my sister stood there speechless not knowing what to do, it wasn't the first time he ever spoke to us like that and certainly not the last, he would always take his anger out on us and if something didn't go his way or no one listened to him he would be fuming and punish us.

so when me and my sister didn't move he started walking towards us and slapped me hard across the cheek making me move my head to the side as my cheek started burning from the pain and it probably got red. I felt my eyes starting to water

I hate that so much! It makes me look weak.

i looked him in the eyes no trace of regret in them "ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMERHING?" he said looking between me and my sister as we remained silent

we knew better we knew that if we spoke up to him we would be in more trouble "I SAID GO LOOK FOR YOUR BROTHER, NON STATE LÌ A NON FARE NULLA, STUPIDI CAZZI"
