Riley's point of view
11:46 P.M. I couldn't take it anymore, but I had to. Auggie lay beside me in my bed with tears in his eyes. I rubbed his back and bit my lip. I couldn't cry. Even though I had a million reasons to.

12:27 A.M. I heard it stop for a second. But that quickly faded. My parents bedroom door slammed and yelling continued. Auggie was asleep but I couldn't.

I got up and quietly opened my door and peeked into the living room. My dad was asleep on the couch. I wonder why?

I stepped into the kitchen and filled a glass with water. "Riley?" my dad sat up from the couch. "What" I said annoyed. Well duh I was annoyed with him. He and my mom haven't stopped fighting in 3 days. "Listen Riley, this is much bigger than you think. And it really isn't much of your concern" he said. "Yes it is! I don't know if you realise it, but every night when you're yelling at mom it's like you're yelling at me. What did she do? What did I do?" I let it all out. "Riley I'm sorry-" he started. "No you're not because you do it every night and you go to school and act like nothing happened! But I know what happened. Because I live it every day!" I screamed.

I ran into my room away from him. I sat on my bed wanting someone to talk to but who?
