"Cassie, get your ass down here and get me a beer!!"
I could here my mom yelling from downstairs. She ruins everything! I wish I had a normal life where I didn't have to worry about covering up bruises from the night before.
My brother walked into the room and I could tell he was stoned.
"Hey, Cass if I were you I'd get down there or moms gonna flip."
My brother and I have always been sorta close, even when my dad left Brady was there for me. Whenever moms in a mood and she decides to use me as a punching bag he helps me.
"She's the adult here, why can't she get it herself!" I said to my brother because I have had it! She's such a screwup, and if I continue to any longer I'll be a screw up to. I pushed passed Brady and stormed downstairs.
"You know what mother, if you wanted it so god damn bad why not get it yourself!" By the look on her face I knew what was coming
"Cassandra Lee, don't you ever talk to me like that. I am your mother and you will respect me!" I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to appear on my cheek, but it never came.
I opened my eyes slowly to see my mother's arm clenched in my brothers hand.
"Mother?!When have you ever been our mother!? Oh wait, was it when you were using Cassie as a punching bag, or when you would bring home drunk men at 3:00 am! You call that being a mother cuz if it is sign me out!" My brother was furious. He's never stepped in before.
He grabbed me and we ran out the door.
2hours later
Bradys POV*
I didn't know what I was thinking. Oh that's right I wasn't thinking! Moms gonna kill us when we get home. I still had Cassie by the arm and I could feel her shaking.
"Hey Cass you OK?" I wasn't sure what else to say. No ones said anything for 2 hours.
"I don't know. Brady? What are we gonna do? If we go back moms gonna literally kill us!"
"Cassie we'll figure this out. We always do." It was true we always do. Nothings stopped us from getting through everything.
Cassie's POV*
I was so scared to go back home. Moms probably drunk. When we get home she's gonna beat me. WHY ME!? Moms never hit Brady before. Its not like I want him to be moms punching bag but what did I do for her to hate me so much.
Maybe its because I made dad leave...I mean I think I did.
"Brady, am I the reason dad left?" Brady's eyes widened at the question. He stopped walking.
"Cassandra Lee Hulbruk I don't want you to ever think that. Dad left cuz he's not a real man. He doesn't know how to take care of a family." He sighed and he grabbed my arm. I flinched, not because he grabbed me hard but because of the cuts. He looked down at my arm. "Whats wrong? Did I grab to hard?" His voice sounded so concerned. "No no I'm fine." I managed to stutter out but I knew he didn't buy it. He yanked up my sleeve and his eyes widened at what lay before his eyes.
"Cass, wha...bu..why." He said teary eyed.
"Just never mind, I'm fine" I pulled down my sleeve and walked away.
