Chapter 2 John! What are you doing here?� She asked, shocked. �If I wasn�t here soon enough, you would have killed my daughter already, huh Kim?� He looked down at Anne and picked her up. �What happened?� Anne pointed into the room. John looked at Kim and tried to walk pass her. She extended her hand out to block him. �Don�t go in there!� She yelled. John didn�t care and pushed his way in. There, he saw a man, struggling to get his zipper up. �Who the hell are you?!� John yelled. �I-I-I-� the man stuttered. Before he could finish his sentence, a blow got him in the face. �Hey man, I�m just-� he got punched again. �Stop! Stop!� Kim yelled and ran to pull John away from the guy. �Don�t do that to my husband!� �How dare you call him your husband! I�m your husband!� John yelled, pointing to his chest. �No you�re not! You don�t have enough money to support me!� Tears ran down John�s cheeks as he heard those words. �Fine then! Get the hell out of my house!� He pointed to the door. Anne stood there, crying. It�s painful to see her parents fight. �I don�t want to stay here anyway!� Kim took some clothes out from the dresser and grabbed her new husband�s arm. �Let�s get out of here, babe.� They pushed their way through Anne and John and exit out of the house. �You dame whore! Don�t ever come back!� John yelled after them. He put his face in his hands and sat on the bed. Anne crawled to his feet and hugged him. �Dad, how can mom do this?� She asked. John puts his hand on Anne�s head. �Your mom is still young, honey. She still wants to have fun. I can�t believe she lets a man sleep in my place either. But honey, don�t dwell on it. Just move on. Now get to bed.� He kissed her on the forehead and lie down. Anne said good night to her dad and went back to her room. That night, she couldn�t sleep and went to go check on her father. She smelled alcohol everywhere. As she walked in, there was her dad, drinking. She wanted to run in and stop him but she knew what her dad was going through and didn�t want to bother him. So she went back to her room and cried herself to sleep. *End of flashback* For the past seven years, she knew why her dad drank. It�s like an anniversary that her dad celebrated each year. Every April 7th, he would drink himself away. Because that special day, it was the day that her mother had left her and her father. Heart of Ice Main       Home        << Back 1       Next 3 >>
