5 Years Later...

Twelve year old Nick was outside playing basketball waiting for his two siblings to get off the bus. close to a half hour later, Nick was in the middle of playing basketball, Nick saw the yellow school bus, and walked over to help get his younger siblings off the bus.

Once Greg, and Sara saw their older brother, the two seven year olds went and gave him a hug. Giving his siblings a hug back, Nick asked, "Got any homework guys?"

"I don't have any, 'cause i got mine done at school." Sara answered her older brother as she and Greg followed Nick inside.

"Nope, I don't have any either," Greg replied.

Watching his sister go upstairs Nick asked, "Hey Sar', where ya goin'?"

"I'm going upstairs to read," Sara answered her older brother.

"Okay, if you need anything let me know, ok?" Nick asked his sister.

"Okay, Nicky," Sara answered her older brother.

Sara went upstairs to her bedroom to get her book where she usually keeps it, on her desk, when she found that it wasn't there, she went down stairs and heard her mom come in.

"Mommy," Sara said as she went and gave her mom a hug."

"Hey sweetie, how's my girl?" Laura asked as she hugged her daughter back.

"I'm ok, hey mommy, have you seen my book that I've been reading lately?" Sara asked her mom.

"I'm afraid not hun, where'd you put it last?" Laura answered her daughter.

"I thought I left it on my desk, but its not there," Sara told her mom.

"Well, I don't know what to tell ya hun, I haven't seen it." Laura said to her daughter.

"Okay, I'm going to go check the living room," Sara told her mom as she left the kitchen and walked into the living room.

As Sara was rushing through the living room trying to find out where her missing
book was she stubbed her toe on the corner of the coffee table. She yelped in
pain and screamed

"Ahh, shit!" As soon as the words flew out she clamped a hand over her mouth. Hearing her mother tell her dad off for using that word in front of them. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming down the hall.

"SARA ELIZABETH SIDLE" her dad bellowed. He came up right in front of her, he smells weird, she thought. He isn't very nice when he smells like this. Sara was a little shaken at the added anger in which her dad used to say her name, as he had never raised his voice like that to her before.

"If I ever hear that word come out of your mouth again you will be grounded for a month, with your books taken away. YOU HERE ME?" John continued, raising his voice again at the last sentence.

"Yes daddy, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say it. I promise not to say it again." Sara said nearly in tears, as her dad was scaring her a bit.

"Yeah, whatever just go and play." John said as he turned around and walked out of the room in search of some more beer.

As her dad walked out the room, Sara ran up the stairs to Nick and Greg's room, knocking on the door, she heard someone shout "Yeah" so she opened the door.

"Hey, nick can I spend some time in here and play with you guys for a bit." Sara said still sniffing from crying.

"Sure Sara, hey are you okay?" Nick asked a little bit worried, noticing Sara's eyes were a little red around the eyes.

"Thank you Nick and yeah I'm okay." Sara added a smile afterwards to make Nick believe her.

As Laura was dishing up dinner John came into the kitchen, swaying just a
little bit.

"You know you should have a word with your daughter" John said gruffly.

Laura, being shocked at his tone and the way he pronounced Sara as her
daughter, not theirs, made her turn round to look at him. "Why, what did
Sara do? I saw her earlier and she was just looking for her book."

"Well I was in the other room when I heard her shout 'shit'. Isn't she
a bit too young to swear?" John said just slurring out that last sentence a
bit.

"Well I only told you off the other day for saying that exact same words in
front of the kids, but I suppose…." However Laura never got to finish her
sentence as John slammed his hand down on the counter, making Laura flinch.

"How dare you try and blame me for this, i can do and say what I want. No one is going to tell me what I can and can't do in my own house. Got it ?!" John said his voice getting louder.

"I wasn't trying to blame you John! I was just telling you that I told u the other day not to swear in front of the kids," Laura tried to reason with her husband.

Laura noticed that her husband was trying to hold himself up while holding on to the counter. She then asked him how many beers he's had,

"John, how many beers have you drank today?" Laura asked her husband.

"Five to ten beers, why's it matters to you?" John, told his wife getting a little frustrated with her.

"Nothing John, just no more drinks for you especially in front of the kids tonight at dinner," Laura told her husband then went to the bottom of the stairs and yelled for her kids to come down for dinner.

Hearing the kids coming down for dinner Laura went back to the kitchen and finished putting dinner on the table.

However John wasn't finished and as the kids came into the kitchen John
started to yell at Laura again.

"I told you no one tells me what I can and can't do in my own house, I
can drink as many beers as I want to!" John shouted, making the kids look at
each other, confused, as they had never seen their dad so angry before.

Well Sara had, but no one else knew how he had reacted. This man wasn't her daddy
that she loved, the one who would take her and her brothers out for ice cream
or play with them. No, Sara didn't like this version of her daddy.

"John please, not in front of the kids, you're scaring them." Laura
pleaded, trying to calm him down; she honestly didn't know what had gotten
into him.

"I told you Laura, don't tell me what to do, you are testing my
patience." John replied, clenching and unclenching his fists as he said so.

"Hey mom, were not that hungry at the moment, so were going to go back
upstairs for a little while." Nick said trying to get Sara and Greg out of
the kitchen, so they didn't have to witness the fight.

"Yeah okay Nick, take your little brother and sister to yours and Greg's
room to watch a video or something." Laura agreed, also not wanting the kids
to see this.

Upstairs in Nick's and Greg's room, Nick sat Sara and Greg on his bed and asked them what kind of movie they want to watch.

"I want to watch Monster's Inc," Greg said.

"Okay," Nick said then turned to his sister, "What about you Sara, you want to watch Monster's Inc?"

"Yeah, that's fine," Sara answered her older brother.

"I'm thirsty Nick, can I go get a drink?" Greg asked his brother as he stood up.

"Yeah, from the bathroom," Nick answered him.

"I don't like the bathroom water, and besides I want some juice," Greg told his brother.

"Greg its either bathroom water, or you get nothing to drink," Nick told his younger brother.

Looking down at the ground, Greg said, "Okay, fine, I'll get water from the bathroom."

"Okay, good," Nick said as he watched his younger brother leave his room.

Going down the hallway and heads towards the bathroom, but changed his mind and went to the stairs and saw his parents fighting, a few seconds later Greg saw his dad hit his mom.

After standing there a few seconds later Greg took off running into his bedroom that he shares with his older brother.
