I was a wreck, my parents were fighting again. But this time they were even more into it than normal. All I could do was sit on my bedroom floor listening to their screams, trying not to cry. I failed at not and after I heard a wine glass crash against the wall, and my mom yelling "GET OUT, JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I started balling. My mom repeated yelled for my dad to get out of the house, I finally heard the front door slam. I snuck out my bedroom window, not wanting to deal with my mom's tears. After I was about a block away from home, I realized I had nowhere to go. I decided to call Alli from my cellphone.
"Hey Clare-bear how you been?" she must have know it was me from the caller-ID.
"Fine." I trembled trying not to cry.
"Oh no, what's wrong?" since she was my best friend she knew how to recognize when things weren't fine.
"My parents are fighting again, my dad tried to throw a wine glass at my mom, so my mom kicked him out, and I just sorta snuck out…" near the end of my sentence it became nearly impossible to hold back the tears.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry…" she replied not knowing what else to say.
"It's not your fault, look I need a place to stay, think I could spend the night at your house tonight?"
"Tonight?" I could hear the guilt in her voice. "Uhm… Farrah and her family are in town tonight, so my parents probably won't let you stay over…"
"Oh…" I said in disappointment.
"Uhm… I could ask my parents anyways maybe they'll make an exception."
"No it's fine." I said even though I knew it wasn't.
"Maybe Jenna will let you stay over?"
"After what she did to me? No thank you." Alli let out a small laugh.
"Think Eli's parents will let you spend the night? I'm sure Eli will make you feel better." I sighed knowing what was on Alli's mind.
"I guess I could give him a call." I said trying to hold back my excitement about the idea.
"Alright. Well I hope things get better!"
"Yeah, me too." I said as I hung up the phone.
I dialed Eli's number anxious to see how he would respond to the idea.
By the way, the whole thing with the wine glass crashing against the wall, the reason I included it in there is because that's all I remember from the night my mom kicked my dad out of the house, he stayed in a hotel that night and spent the next few months staying at my uncle's house. Don't worry, that was about seven years ago, they're back together, but they're on the rocks again, so please say a prayer that I don't hear wine glasses crashing anytime soon. Anyways, please review!
