I almost choked on my hot tea.
"You're getting a divorce?!" I asked incredulously. I looked from my mom, to my dad. They both looked guilty...or maybe it was pity. I couldn't tell. Tears started to well up at my eyes, starting to make my vision blurry. Oh, God, please don't cry. I begged myself. My mom rubbed my shoulders. I wanted to push her off, yell and scream at her, then make them beg for forgiveness. But I'm weak, and I just let my parents comfort me. "Oh, sweetheart. We still love you," my mother said, her voice oozing with care and love. "And never, ever, think that this is your fault," Dad piped up, putting his hands on mine. This time I did pull away. "Oh, shut up!" I shouted, pulling away from the table. The kitchen felt small and claustrophobic. The table with the checkerboard blue squares seemed foreign and different. The yellow curtains with the lace, it was alien. My parents stood up, worry in their eyes. "Honey, are you okay?" my dad asked, his hands fumbling together, his habit when he's worried. "Yeah, I'm okay! I'm freakin' fantastic!" I yelled, making my parents flinch. I continued anyways. "In fact, I feel great! Y'know why? Because I'm sick and tired of you guys arguing all the time. I have to deal with it too!" My voice sounded sore, and it did not sound pretty. Before my parents could respond to my outburst, my older brother, Chris, walked in the door. "Hey everyone, I'm home!" He announced, like everyone was supposed to drop everything and greet him. I glared at him, wishing that a hole would burn through his skull. "Hi, Chris. Nice of you to come home. How about you deal with your family, for once?" I asked him casually. I stormed up to my room, pushing Chris out of my way. He had a 'Duh, what?' look on his face. I slammed my crappy wood door with the faded white paint, making an echo throughout the house. Collapsing on my bed, I instantly fell asleep. © 2010 TopHatGirlAuthor's Note
