"Whoa! Lucy what are you doing!?" I open my eyes. Oh gosh it’s only Charlie I lower the bat. It’s Charlie! I raise the bat and start heading towards him again. He runs to the other side of the counter. "Look I know that you are mad but hear me out!"
"No you hear me out. You are no longer welcome here. I don’t even know why you are here this early in the morning but you need to leave before I call the cops" I scream at him.
"And what Lucy, talk to them? I thought you didn’t talk to anyone besides me and Martha and that freak of yours."
"You leave Dominic out of this. And yes I will talk to the police if I have to. I hate you! Don’t ever come here again." We are running circles around the counter. I try to reach him but every time that I even get close he gets away. I didn’t realize how much noise that we were actually making until I saw mom standing with her mouth wide open in the entrance of the kitchen.
"What in the name are you guys doing down here at 2 o’clock in the morning? And Charlie why are you even here? It’s not that I’m not happy to see you but you need to go home and come back tomorrow dear." After she smiles at Charlie she turns and faces me (without a smile I might add) "and you, why are you down here with a bat? Where did you even get a bat? And why are you attacking your brother?" She runs over and grabs the bat out of my hands. "Go back to your room before I ground your little skinny behind." I give Charlie a bad look then grabbed a pop-tart and headed up to the place of personal torment.
