Leaning on the door frame I listened to my step mother argue with the owner of our house.

"Pay the rent today or leave" he yelled in her face while she tried her best to remain composed.

"We need some time.. three days?" she tried.

"It's been a month! I'm not giving you any extensions this time woman." he ran his sausage like thick fingers through his hair before continuing, "pay tomorrow or vacate".

The lady stepped back in defeat as she watched the man leave. She turned to me and I stood up straight. I had a bad feeling when she parted her lips to speak. She often took out her stress and frustration on me so I mentally prepared myself for the worst.

"Umm I" she started, "I'll arrange the money, you better cook something for dinner", she said, leaving me alone in the house as she grabbed her coat and left, slamming the door behind her and locking it from the outside.

I stared at the cracked wooden door for a moment before making my way into the kitchen, standing in front of the stone slab.
