*Happily Coming back home after playing with friends*

I don't remember much, All i remember was That I froze on my track standing on the road right outside my house...
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
Truck filled with furniture, Refrigerator to everything.. But I was little and Probably dumb, Didn't knew what's happening
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
Mom decided she don't wanna live with Grandparents.
So We were Shifting place..

ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ(9 year old)
*Standing infront of him*
Grandfather
*Silent, and Expression Unreadable*

I Understood The Tension... But Didn't Knew The Reason
Mom
*Walks to me and drags me by my arms*

𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
My Brother had alot of classmates (His Friends) there.. Well I had Nothing
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
Mom and Dad would go to work.. Early morning.. And come after 6-7pm..
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
My Brother Would Go to play at his friends after school or on Holidays..

Little me only had one escape from loneliness
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
After coming back Home, there would be time when it'll be past 6pm and I'm alone in home...
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
And suddenly Lights go off
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)

When Mom dad would come back home, It's almost everyday... Fights So Bad... I felt like i would have better been dead
𝐗ᴧ𝐯ἶέƦ📍(ΛʀᎮɪᴛꫝ)
Times When Mom would be Screaming at dad for money and all and dad would grab anything sharp, dangerous and say
And Me? Small but protective.. I'd run to dad and grab whatever knife or anything he is holding
