The Deepest Cuts

part 1

What happens when things in your life start to fall apart ?

There arguing again this is the 4th time this week they don 't talk all day, but then when they think we are sleeping that we can't hear them they talk well argue at first it's just whispers, but then they get angrier at one another and its gets louder eventually there shouting something breaks.........

The next morning at breakfast all you could hear was the forks scraping off the plates.

After breakfast was finished dad went off to work and mum went upstairs not a word to one another they exchanged a glance, but that was all the rest of the day went past pretty fast mum never left her room at all that day you could hear her moving around a lot. Me and Kate just stayed downstairs watching the television and playing bored games.

Then came 6 O'clock dad walked in gave me and Kate a hug then went upstairs we followed him up but stayed by the stairs which probably wasn't wise he opened the bedroom door, I could only see a glimpse into the room there were bags a lot. Of them next thing mum starts, crying and throws one of the bags at him and tells him to get out that she is done and that she doesn't need him any more Kate grabs me hand and leads me down stairs out to the back garden, I wasn't sure what was happening I had questions running through my head why was mum so upset? Why was there bags? Why did she start shouting at dad? What was happening?
