(Lloyd's POV)
I sat up against the wall of my green, dark, dismal room. The sound of my mother and father's shouts hushed by the sound of rain tapping at my window. "I'm only 12…" I thought to myself… "Why should I be the one to have to listen too these fights? Why me?" I think. A flash of lighting interrupts my thoughts.
I don't know what they're fighting about, but it's probably the same as last time…. I heard a crash followed by more yelling. "Wow Garmadon looks like you really are evil… I should have known." Sounds like my mom.
"Misako don't be surprised! I thought you knew what you signed up for when you married me!" I heard my dad yell. "This must just be the venom talking." I think to myself, but I know what's really happening. Then I got a text from my uncle.
Wu: Are your parents OK?
Me: barley
Wu: Are you OK?
Me: Yeah...I'm fine...not really
Wu: Are they at it again?
Me: Yes
Wu: You can always come and stay with me at the monastery
Me: I would love to, but I think they need me here
Wu: OK tell your parents I said I love them and just know you're always welcome to stay with me.
Me: OK I will bye uncle
As I typed that I heard a crash even louder this time and jumped to my feet to see what it was. I crept down stairs and poked my head around the corner in the living room. The table was flipped and the picture frames were shattered along with my memories of a happy home. They didn't see me at first, but then my dad saw me and came over to me. "Lloyd are you OK?" he said. Of course I'm not OK what is he thinking?! I continuously listen to them bicker like three-year olds! And he thinks I'm fine?!
I was about to say "NO!" But held it back knowing that would only start more fights. So I fake a smile and say I'm fine. "Okay well I think you should go to bed." My dad said just so I would go somewhere else. Without another word I ran upstairs to my room tears streaming from my eyes. "Great Garmadon look what you've done!" I heard my mom yell… Yup more fighting.
I got to my room and slammed the door behind me. "I just want this to end!" I scream in my emty room. "Lloyd are you in there?" My mom said from the other side of the door. "Go away!" I sniffled. "You only want to fight! You don't care about me! You don't think about what your fighting does to me! It drives me crazy!" I yelled. I hear anything, but sniffling coming from the other side of the door. I opened it to see my mom crying int my dad's shoulder. "We're very sorry Lloyd. You're right we didn't think about what our fighting does to you. We'll stop we'll be better. We promise." My dad said pulling me into a hug with them.
(One month later)
"Stop it Garmadon!" My mom yelled. They said they promised they would be better. I plugged in my headphones to block out the sound of the fighting. It just doesn't stop… it's raining again today. It always rains at the worst times. Even over my music I heard the front door slam. I ran down stairs to see what happened. My mom was on the couch crying. "Mom where's dad?" I said sitting down and curling up beside her. "He said he needed to take a walk while the weather was "nice". He said he needed to clear his mind." I looked out the window when she said nice. It was still pouring and there was a lot of lightning. "Lloyd I'm so sorry I know we promised to be better, but its really hard for us to get along." She said wiping the tears from her face.
"It's OK mom I know you're trying." My dad came through the doors. And pulled us into a hug. "Lloyd we're sorry we PROMISE we'll be better." My dad said. "Why don't we go out and do something all together." My mom said. "Sounds good to me I said feeling a lot better. And with that we left.
A\N Thanks for reading! I really wanted to write this 'cause it's raining cats and dogs outside! And it just "inspired" me. Any who I really like this because it really applies to my favorite quote and the quote I live by. This quote is, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." I really like that quote. Any way I have to get back to writing "youtubers of ninjago" so…..Until Next Time Peace Out Girl Scout!
