Father had just stepped over mother like if she was a piece of trash. Mother flinches and I see a tear roll down her face. She balls herself up in a corner and swings back an forth. He gives Jason something as he walks over to the front door. It looked like some drugs to me but at this point I don't give a fuck. I scrunch up my face and shake my right leg. "Fuck you dad! How the HELL could you do this to our damn family?!" My voice cracks as I shout at him. He didn't say anything, in fact he didn't even turn around to face us, to face me, to face mom. He just grabs an apple from the fruit bowl that's on the counter by the sink and leaves out. 

    About 10 minutes of just standing there mad as fuck, I end up cleaning up the coffee and glass mug I broke when I dropped it earlier. "What are you doing Mon Mon?" Jason says. "Can't yo blind ass see that I'm trying to fix things and don't fucking call me that shit." I say with an attitude but also trying to hold back from crying . He chuckles and crouches down next to me. He picks up the glass shards with his bare hands and he accidentally cut himself. I get up and grab like 6 paper towels from the table and press it against his cut up hand. Jason looks at me as if I was a McDonald's happy meal. I roll my eyes and he says, "Listen, sometimes you can't fix everything. This family is beyond getting help. You can't let us bring you down. Remember, once toys are broken they are useless." I look away at the kitchen clock, 6:35 AM. Damn, where did the time go?

    I gave Jason the paper towels and walked over to mom. I helped her up to the kitchen table and kissed her forehead. Jason got up and grabbed a broom to sweep up the mess I made. "Go up stairs and get ready for school." Jason said in a serious tone. I did a confused look and he repeated in a dead ass tone, "Go yo ass up stairs and get fucking ready for school." I looked at mom than back at Jason than back at mom and rolled my eyes. I just left the kitchen and went upstairs to my room.
