A Short Story : A Story?

MRS. HIGGINS [walking towards the door]: I think you two, need to be alone to talk this out. [Leaves the room]

It was a cold and foggy wednesday morning on june 10th. Hunter was sleeping on his bed when he heard his mom call him.

I procrastinate for an hour or two but then push myself to do my homework. After 3 hours of hell, I finally completed all of it and decide to take a shower. Once I get out, I get out my speakers and begin to play 'I like it when you sleep for you are beautiful yet so unaware of it' probably one of the best albums ever released. Over all of the loud music I hear a loud bang from downstairs. I quickly shut off the music and wait to see if I will be able to hear the noise again. Yep, there it is. I swiftly open my door and walk downstairs and see my mom on a rampage. She screaming and throwing things and I am bewildered.

“Honey it’s time to get up.” She called up the stairs. She heard a clang and little footsteps. Will appeared around the corner and ran down

Jacquelyn gulped. She had messed up, big time. Her mother did not tolerate any type of disrespectful behavior, especially if it was directed at her. "I 'm sorry, I didn 't mean to." Jacquelyn cringed.

I let Brenna up from the floor and sit back against the bed, the rough wood finds a sore spot on my shoulder. Brenna sits up and dusts some of the dirt off her clothes. She doesn't try to come at me, or even angry. I feel my heart racing and blood pulsing in my ear. The nightmare was still there, in the back of my mind, like a far-off storm.

“Mom, you work two jobs and we still have money problems. I see that you're tired and stressed out, so I don’t tell you anything.”,I responded “Also, you get home late and well I don’t have time to do my homework since I clean, cook, and take care of my brother, and at school I don’t pay attention because I’m worried about the rent.

My Mom replied with a very strong finger point out of the room. I rolled my eyes, then I heard the stomps as I walked out here came dad with spit flying out of his mouth screaming at me saying don’t disrespect us like that.

“Just leave!” Isabelle stomps her foot while uttering a few inaudible words and leaves furiously.“Who’s she calling girlfriend anyway, I don’t have the time for those things.” Walter thinks as he gets back to work for the customer that walks in after Isabelle leaves.

I begin to start back to the carriage my room is in, limping ever slightly towards the door, before hearing her call out again, and I’m still surprised, but less so.

Later, after I left my room. I tried to get my mom’s attention by making a loud noise so I kicked some pans off of the counter. She went to see what was going on and when she

With a slightly more gentle tone, my mother said, “It’s okay. We planned on deep cleaning the carpets soon anyways. However, since you didn’t listen to me and tried to dye your hair anyways, I’m taking away your internet privileges for a week and you will be helping your dad and I clean the carpets.”

Trying to speak calmly her mom says “Anna what is this cat doing in our house?”

It was midnight. Marvin had just went to bed when he hears a ding. The oven Marvin thought. Usually, his dad never cooked late at night so Marvin decided to go downstairs. Marvin tiptoed down the stairs and peeked his head over the stairwell. What Marvin finds is beyond words. As he rushes upstairs he feels a burning pain. His limp body crashes down to the floor.

Ugh. What does she want this time, I mean seriously, the worst thing I’ve done recently I overfed the cats by like 2 treats. I run upstairs and yell, “what do you want?”
