Everything Changed

Everything happened around five years ago when we still lived in the peaceful town of Cicero. My 
parents had only lived there for seven years after they got married and had me and my two younger brothers. Our family lived happily just like any ordinary family does but after time went by things started to change. 

One afternoon as I waited for my dad to come home from work I had this unusual feeling that 
something wrong was about to happen. That afternoon I waited for him for as long as I could remember, yet he never came home. Deep inside me I felt so much disappointment and frustration that I punched a wall and broke my knuckles. I was immediately rushed to the hospital and fainted on the way there. The next morning I woke up in relief that I was back in my own room without any broken knuckles. But that was just a warning of what was about to happen in the future.

             That morning as we all headed out for breakfast I told everyone my unpleasant nightmare. After I was done, my mom and dad looked at each other and started laughing as If someone just had told them a hilarious joke. My mom then turned around from the front seat of the car and said "Mami that's never going to happen." Suddenly I felt some kind of relief when I heard those words. Deep inside me, I knew that something was going to happen soon but I didn't want to be the one to provoke any drama so I just ignored the feeling.
         
               That day went by like a flash and before I knew it I stated hearing my parents arguing out loud in their room about an event that took place in Mexico. As the argument became louder I crawled deeper into my bed but somehow I was still able to hear every word and every scream. After hiding underneath my blankets for what it felt like hours I stayed to get a little anxious. I then took the blankets of my face and took a deep breath. After several breath takings, I decided to count from one one to one hundred in hopes of relaxing.

                The next morning I woke up not knowing what time I fell asleep so I decided to head out to my parents room and take a peek inside. Inside I saw my mom sleeping in the bed, some drawers open and clothes scatttered all over the flooor. I also noticed that most of those clothes were my dad's. I carefully shut the door and started searching around the house for my dad. After searching everywhere for him and reuniting him with my mom disappeared, and they disappeared forever because after that day I never saw him again.
