Chapter SIX

Apparently my sister McKenzie had 'fallen off our counter' and she had a broken leg and a couple broken ribs. As soon as I had comforted her and she had gone I went and talked to my mom about what happened. I guess what had happened is my dad had come home drunk-no surprise there-and my sister told him 'she dint wike 'im wike dat'. He got mad and pushed her into the wall, breaking her leg. He of course was sorry after but that didn't take away from what had happened. My mom was getting scareder by the minute. This was too much. I called Paige and told her that my siblings, mom, and I needed to go to a hotel because the house was too sad without McKenzie. I guess she got the point and offered to pay for our hotel and come with us. Now just if your wondering that's NOT what I was looking for but Paige is always nice like that. So we picked her up at 7 and we all went to this nice hotel. We got a nice hotel room that's like a house so that my mom had a room, we had a room, and my siblings had a room. Plus a kitchen and front room. “So where's McKenzie, why is she in the hospital?” Paige asked.
CRAP! I had forgotten to tell my sisters not to tell her.
“Daddy set her on the counter and she fell off.” Rachel said.
PHEW! Apparently she wasn't there and didn't know the whole story.
“That's too bad.” Rachel replied.
The rest of the weekend was just spent going to church and hanging out as a family. Paige went home that Sunday morning because we aren't aloud to play on Sundays, however we saw each other at church. At 6 o'clock that night we got ready to go. When we got home my dad wasn't there and that was good. We had a light dinner, tomato soup and grilled cheese. I got the girls bathed and put everyone to bed while my mom tried to tidy up some more. As I was going to bed I was thinking about if I was in my mom's situation what I'd do. I honestly have no idea!!!! I just hope I never get in this situation when I get older. I drifted off to sleep and woke up at 6:14. I had some eggs and toast and my dad was in one of his hang overs watching T.V. I quickly and quietly walked toward the door and waited for Paige to come pick me up. Another thing about Paige is she knows she's not supposed to 'go out' with anyone until she is 16, so we are practically the only singles in our school. Oh, except Jake. Apparently he is waiting for that special someone. Everyone knows that's Paige and we are just waiting for her to turn 16. However, Paige likes to deny this. She claims they are just friends and so I believe her. We are always 100% honest like I told you so I'm not going to keep thinking she's lying.
School was pretty boring to say the least. I had regular assignments and I did my homework, chores, and check my emails. All I had gotten were those really lame dumb ones that mean nothing. So I had an early dinner and took a shower, wrote in my diary, and went to bed.
