As I opened the door to the house a faint smell of cigarette smoke mixed with a very faint smell of liquor greeted me causing me to want to run. But I knew it wouldn't be worth it.
- (Flashback to two months after the accident) -
"Hey dad I'm home" I said 'oh god what is that smell?!' I thought to myself as I noticed several empty bottles of beer on the table "not again" I whispered to myself. Then ran out of the house leaving my dad a note on the fridge telling him where I was going and texted Krisma to let her know I needed to talk to her asap.
The next day when I got home my dad was furious at me and still slightly drunk and he slapped me across the face and punched me multiple times for leaving the house without telling him. I tried to explain to him that I had left him a note and texted him were I was.
- (Present) -
Sadly now I don't have anywhere to run to. I walk past the living room where my dad is always at and walk back to my room. Once I get back to my room I start to unpack some of the boxes in the room.
"Okay now that's done time to make dinner" I say as I walk to the fridge and see there isn't much of anything except for leftovers and TV dinners. 'Okay then guess dad will have a TV dinner and I will have leftovers.' I think as I pull out some food and put the TV dinner in the microwave. While the food was heating up I decided to give Krisma a call back. "Hey Lun!" Krisma said after the second ring. "How do you like Japan so far? Is it better or worse than America?" she asked excitedly. "I'm not really sure I can judge it yet I haven't really gotten the chance to explore it yet Krism…""WHY NOT! You should at least explore it before you go to school""Krisma you don't need to yell into the phone okay." *beep, beep, beep* "hey listen I have to go dinners ready" "okay ttyl then" she said and hung up.
