*even later that night, 11:30*
"Uh- hey Lizzie?" Miranda asked, over the phone
"Miranda? Are you ok? You sound- quieter then often." Lizzie stated
"Oh, I'm fine. Just a little tired." She lied, "Listen, you don't have to pick me up for school tomorrow. I have to take Krissy to her doctor's appointment." Miranda explained
"Oh ok. So what time will you be at school?"
"I'll probably be there for 3rd period."
"Ok, cool. I'll see you tomorrow, then."
"Yah- tomorrow. Bye!"
After getting off the phone with Lizzie, Miranda exited the bathroom (in which, she was hiding in) to a second floor, where she could hear two very familiar voices, fighting downstairs.
"Why do you do this, David? Why do you always pick a fight with me?!" Miranda heard her mom yell
"Me pick a fight with you?!" David, her father, asked increduously, "You INSTIGATE the fight! You are just so hard-headed, sometimes!"
"Hard-headed? You call ME hard-headed? This coming from a guy who doesn't listen to anyone- not even his own wife!!"
Right then, Miranda tuned out her ears. These fights her parents had were just so stupid. They could fight about the littlest things, and turn them into huge battles.
Miranda let out an exasperated sigh, and headed for her room. Sometimes, Miranda just hated her family. Sometimes, she just wanted to run away from it all... away from the fighting, the yelling, and her parents. Then only thing that kept her sane, was her little sister.
Lately, Miranda has been taking over the job as mom. She made dinner when her mom was away, she did the laundry when her parents were "working late", and she's been taking care of Krissy. She couldn't understand how her parents could neglect her and Krissy. Miranda promised herself that she would never, EVER turn into her parents.
After climbing into her comfortable bed, she was ready to fall asleep. But one thing stopped her...
*knock knock*
"Krissy? What are you doing out of bed? You have a doctors appointment in the morning. You need to go to sleep." Miranda whispered
"I know. But I- I can't sleep." Krissy said meekly
"Why?"
Krissy just stood there. She slightly, titled her head sideways, signifying she couldn't sleep because of her parents.
"Do you want to sleep here, again?" Miranda asked
This was a common pattern for their family. Her parents fight, Miranda hides from their fighting, and Krissy goes to sleep in Miranda's room. And what hurt Miranda the most, was that Krissy was beginning to figure out what was going on.
"Can I?"
"Come on... hop in, you little squirt." Miranda smirked
-+-
"Enough! I can't stand this fighting anymore!" David yelled and headed for the front door
"David, where are you going?" Isabella asked
"Does it matter?" And he left. To where? Isabella didn't know.
But what she did know, was that she had two daughters that she loved very much. Isabella wandered herself into Miranda's room and was very suprised to see two sleeping figures instead of one.
"Krissy?" She whispered as she walked closer
She didn't know what to think. It was as if Miranda was protecting Krissy from her parents. Or that was the idea that popped into her head. Her heart could have shattered as she looked at her two daughters. Miranda had Krissy in her arms. Much like a mother would do- much like a GOOD mother would do. And thats when it happened. Isabella realized something...
"I'm a bad mother."
