A/N: Pretty much just a filler. I needed a build-up. But it's quite a cliff-hanger. Lol. I think you'll like it. I was having some writers block. Please read, review, and enjoy.

The door opened it was my dad. He had some guilt on his face, like he always did after making me actually bleed. He shut the door and looked at me. "Brookie…" He started. I turned away. How was I suppose to just forgive him? "Brookie just hear me out. I'm sorry about tonight." he said, truthfully sorry. He put a hand on my shoulder. I moved it off. I could hear him get angry.

"I come in here trying to be all apologetic, and you give me the cold shoulder. That'll be the last time I apologize to you little missy." he said standing up, and kicking whatever got in his way. He slammed the door closed, and then opened it again. "Don't think your getting away with your smart-ass attitude. Your grounded? You here?" He slammed the door again, this time I heard it lock.

I sat there thinking about it all. My mom being a complete awful person, leaving her only daughter here with her husband. My dad not knowing how to handle his anger. And me, pathetic me. I don't feel sorry for myself, there are people way worse off than me, but still I didn't feel completely frickin' happy for me either.

There was a knock at the front door. I listened for it to be for me. It was a woman's voice, one I didn't recognize. I tried listening as good as I could. Whoever it was my dad wasn't happy with them at all, which would mean he wouldn't be happy with me once they left. I heard the door close so I figured my dad would be up any minute. But he wasn't the lady was in the house now.

I got up and walked over to the door I pressed my ear up to the door, and tried to listen the best I could "…Jim…I know…don't be like that…I had to…please………Jim."

"NO! DON'T EVEN START WITH ME! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST WALTZ BACK IN LIKE IT'S NOTHING! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FUCKING MESSED EVERYTHING UP. WE HAD IT ALL. EVERYTHING. AND YOU WENT AND SCREWED IT UP. SO I'M NOT GONNA FORGIVE YOU LIKE IT WAS NOTHING. HELL NO!" My dad said screaming.

I started to think it was my mom, I was really happy. "DO YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE YOU'VE EVEN BEEN AROUND?! DO YOU?" He said still screaming. Well there went the idea for my mom.

There were footsteps coming up the stairs. They were too light to be my dads. I ran and climbed in bed. The door started unlocking I turned over to see who was walking through the door, it was…
