Ever since my mum left, dads been kinda strange he yells a lot more, we always seam to be aguing, never on eachothers side.
"its the way you dress bleu" he would say
"whats rong with it, yeah i like the colour blue and it matches my hair"
"Yeah, your hair is blue that dont mean you can dress in blue only wear blue make-up"
"But dad i like the way i am, and the way i dre...."
" THATS ENOUGH"
He had done it then, infront of my sister, and if he could do it once he could do it twice and not just to me but to my sister too. Mabey this is why mum left, mabey this is why we never got to say goodbye, mabey mum was scared, mabey just mabey......
I couldent take no more of this beating so i ran, ran as fast as i could, down the old stairs and into the dining room to phone my best mate Chris. She understood me, she was a berry too :')
Hey Bleu whats up you sound scared?
Yeah dad um kinda ..
Spit it out....
Hit me
Oh.. Err meet me in our usual spot?
Yes please (by this time my voice was crackling and squeaky as i tried to fight back the tears)
See you there
Bye chris.
It seamed even longer running there then it did walking but i was relived when i saw her pretty pink hair and face i couldent help it i just bursted into tears and fell into her arms.
If it helps mum said you could stay round ours tonight.
No, no thanks chris, i cant leave molly and i dont think dad will be very sober and happy tonight, no, no thanks chris mo needs me.
You sure? Theres room for her too,
No honestly,
At least for some tea then?
Yeah sure.
I dont know why but being with chris made everything better i could tell her absolutly everything, even thought some of it was a bit dramatic, we had been friends for 11 years, and never left eachothers side, more then i could say for me and dad.
Yeah mum, its us, whats cooking it smells great mac and cheese go sit down. Bleu darling come here a minute please.
Yes debbie?
Darling call be debs please, treat this like your home hun, its better then the home you have with your dad i men who the f...... sorry rambling on again
i just shook my head, i knew she was right but some thing inside me told me she was rong and that dad loved me then i remeberd he couldent care less he dident even run after me or try to apologise.
You do know bleu that no matter what happens between you and Chris you will always have a home or a hug here waiting for you,
Thanks debs you like the mum i never had.
Oh come here you.
After dinner i dident stay long i needed to get back to Molly, when i did all i heard was screaming, my heart pounded and i felt like throwing back up my mac and cheese.
MOLLY i yelled tears streaming down my face i shot around the house looking for her, i found dad, asleep on the sofa covered in beer cans. The last room i looked into was the kitchen and there was molly, she had cut her self on a knife trying to make herself some tea.
Come here you silly sausage i said giving her a hug.
Its hurts bleu she started to cry again,
Yeah i know here have a plaster, i carefully wrapped it around her poor finger and kissed it, it made her giggle,
Then i heard dad, yelling at me (as per usual)
Molly? i said go upstairs in bed and i will send you up some tea in a bit yeah?
She dident say anything after what she saw earlyier, just wandered up the stairs.
Dad was standing there in the door way whilst i was fixing a bacon role for Mo,
excuse me i said as i wanted to get past, he moved slowly, i ran up the stairs passing the role through the door and giving her a good night kiss, but before i could even step out and shut the door he started to yell,
DAD shh dont upset her
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwhy would i upset herrrrrrrrr ayeeeeeeee he was sluring his words he had had one to many.
As usual we agued about me running off the colour of my hair and the usuall stuff, but nothing could have prepared me for what he did next........
