Arggh. I almost gave up on this story, I feel like I'm making it go NOWHERE! Anyways, thanks to everyone who's reviewed, and I Really APPRECIATE IT!
"Dad, you should've thought that through!"
"Don't you DARE yell at me Nora Baker!"
"I'm not a child anymore dad! I'm standing up for mom and Sarah! You really need to learn to think things through, before you say them. Maybe if you'd look around, you could see that Sarah was so miserable that she ran away. Maybe you aren't concerned for her well-being anymore, but the rest of are." Nora passed Tom to walk out the door. "And you better step back and look at your relationship with mom. Before you lose her for good." She stormed out, got into her car, and sped off down the road to her house.
"Nora's right dad. I may not know everything, but I know enough to see that this family's getting torn apart." Lorraine went upstairs and everyone could hear a door slam. Nigel and Kyle went upstairs after Henry, who had followed Lorraine, not even bothering to look back.
"You made mom leave us dad. How could you do that?"
"That wasn't very smart dad." Jessica and Kim ran upstairs to go talk about what would happen to mom and Sarah, and about five minutes later, Jake and Mike came in, looking pissed.
"What the hell did you do that for!" Jake shouted in his father's face. Mike went upstairs with a "Not cool dad." By this time, Tom came out of his shocked state, looking more pissed than ever before.
"I WILL NOT HAVE MY KIDS TALK TO ME LIKE THIS! ALL OF YOU ARE GROUNDED, FOR TWO WEEKS! NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES, SLEEP OVERS, OR SCHOLASTIC DECATHALON PRACTICE FOR ANY OF YOU! NO ANYTHING!"
"You made mom leave, and she took Sarah with her! You're the WORST dad EVER!" Jake yelled at him, not budging one bit under Tom's murderous gaze.
With a slap, Tom backhanded his son, across the cheek.
"You, young man, will NOT talk to me like that. I don't care what I have to do, but you. Will. Learn. Respect." Jake had landed onto the floor. Putting his hand up to his cheek, he could feel the warm, sticky blood run down his cheek. Mark came in, and looking quite stoned, he walked up the stairs with a 'hi dad' not noticing Jake on the floor.
Henry and Lorraine rushed downstairs, and Lorraine shrieked.
"DAD! What did you do?" She and Henry helped Jake up, and they all ran upstairs to get him cleaned up.
"Dad, how can you be so mean?" Kyle was up near the top of the banister, waiting for an answer. As his siblings went into the upstairs bathroom, he left, Tom still shocked and speechless at what he just did.
"What did I just do?" He wandered dazedly into his bedroom, and sat down on his bed. "Kate, I need you. Come back." He buried his head in his hands, on the verge of tears.
I didn't die! Fear not! I'm alive! Anyways, I'm making a pact to update ALL my stories more! So the pact is to write and publish a new chapter a week! Keep in mind I have other stories to finish, so I might not update this one all the time! But I WILL still be updating this! XD Wish me luck!
