POV: Sam
Chapter 4: Run
The day had begun all over again. The rays of sun beamed through the window curtains and making a mask of light across my face, but even in my drunken state I knew I had to get up. I still had responsibilities to take care of more like people to take care of.
I take a quick shower, get out to dress, and then opened my door. I wondered if the kids had already left, but I am sure Lizzie would tell me before hand. To my astonishment, Lizzie came out of the hallway bathroom pulling her hair partly back in a ponytail. She turned around and I could see the fear she had for me from the other day, but it was gone as quickly as it came.
Before she could turn around to go back to her room I asked, "Have you seen Matt?" "He's probably still in his room, asleep. I was just about to go and wake him up." "No, I'll go do it." As soon as that came out of my mouth, I knew he was going to not sleep in again.
I knocked on his door and I heard no answer, so I opened the door. I looked at my son and anger over came me; I ran towards his bed and shook him awake. He woke up with a panicked expression on his face. I had done my job, "Don't sleep in again. Get up early." I told him and as I was about to walk out of his room an idea popped into my head. Why should I just give him a warning? Why not give him what he desereved. I turned around and saw him already dressed. I still went towards him, but he ran and I went after him. Lizzie came into the hallway just as I was out of Matt's door.
I cornered Matt but before I could pound into him, I heard Lizzie yell, "RUN!" and by me turning around Matt was able to get away. I turned on Lizzie cornered her by putting both of my hands on either side of her face on the wall. "You can't protect him forever." I wanted her to get my point, so I slapped her. She fail to the ground holding her cheek. I stooped down to her level on the floor. "Why are you cringing like a coward?" When no answer came to me, I hit her again but this time with my fist. I saw the bruise appear just underneath her right eye. "Now answer me!"
She looked around me and a weak, 'Run' came out of her mouth. "Matt get to school. Lizzie will be there as soon as she cleans herself up. I moved away from her and went into my room, and started rummaging in my dresser drawer for my emergency stash. I found it and then I walked out of my room. "Lizzie hurry up, and get down stairs."
I waited for her to get downstairs. I only waited for five minutes, but I guess she got the message not to make me angry or interfere again. I drove her to school and before she got out of the car, I told her, "I hope you have a good day." and then I drove away never looking back.
