My name is James, I'm 13 and I'm about to commit one of the WORST crimes...

That dream again, outside playing at the park with my friends... but, like I said a dream, I wake up on my bed in my house. Hearing my father yelling at my brother (Luke) in the kitchen. While my sisters still sleeping... I don't know how my mother still loves him. My mother works all-night and sleeps all-day. I got up and try to avoid my father and my brother in the kitchen and made some cereal. I went to the living room to eat it when I hear Luke scream in pain because of my father smacking him with the belt. (Luke is a troublemaker and always makes father mad). That's when my sister (Ava) wakes up in fear over getting smacked for no apparent reason, or that's what we thought? I hear my father call my name, 

"Y-yes father?" I said in a scared and loud way trembling

"GET OVER HERE NOW" He said.

W-what did I do wrong? I thought, I did the house chores, I even did some other chores that he didn't tell me to do. I did everything that he told me to do without question. All my grades should be high, if my teachers graded it, they should have right? I gave them two days to grade it... That should be enough right? I thought to myself while walking back to the kitchen.

"WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR GRADES?!" said father

"W-well I-I" 

"NO EXCUSES"

I opened the bathroom door to see how bad it was but, Luke was in the way...

"Excuse me..." I said

He got out of the way so that I could see my wounds, instead, I saw blood in my face as if I killed someone... My eyes... Were just like as of a serial killer... I blinked twice and I just saw my normal, tear-stained face... 

*3 hours later*

"KIDS, TAKE A BREAK AND GO OUTSIDE..." Said, father

"Yes Father," Said my siblings and me.

My brother luke takes a walk and my sister plays with our pet cat and I usually play with our dogs but, today I felt like going for a walk alone... As I was walking I was starting to think about how bad my father is making our lives. Damn, he was always like this, before he'd drink, that was bad enough with his anger problem... By gene's, he pasted it on to me but, the only thing I'm angry over is him...
