You are the worst.
Cass walked inside her mom's room with a very reluctant look on her face. Seeing her packing, her face grew even more reluctant. She let out a sigh and sat on the bed.
" Mum" she called out softly.
"Yh?" Miranda responded her eyes still on the clothes.
" Mum, do we really have to move?"
She got her attention then as Miranda let down the clothes gently. She sighed softly turning to her.
"Cass, I know you dont want to go but we have to. I really can't stay here anymore. Your Dad is getting more and more out of control. If things get worse, he may....."
She stopped not wanting to continue as tears began to gather in her eyes.
Cass held her hand gently. " Mum I know you are scared but Dad would never do that on purpose. He's not that kind of person and you know it."
" I believed that Cass, for the past 6 months, I've believed that but your Dad doesn't seem like his changing back. I could tolerate it when it was only me but he has started beating your brother too. I can't wait till it's your turn, I.."
" Dad won't, He won't, He won't lay a finger on me. I know that and you do too!!!" Cass shouted as she stood up abruptly
"Cass!!!" a cold angry voice interrupted.
They both turned their heads and what came into view was Raymond's angry glare at Cassandra.
Cassandra bit her lips hard as tears threatened to run down her face.
" I know my dad. He won't do something like that on purpose. You both just want to leave him. You are not trying to understand him at all!!!!"
"Understand? Cass are you blind or something? What exactly do you expect me to understand in a man that beats up and bulies his wife every time he gets home drunk. How can you even bear to call him Dad? Don't you care about mum?!!!" Raymond shouted as he held her hand up.
" Of course I do.!!! If I don't I wont even consider the thought of leaving with you both. But mum has us both who does Dad has? Haven't you thought of that at all??" Casssandra yelled back as she struggled free.
Raymond threw her hands away and said calmly with an ice cold tone.
" He doesn't deserve it. "
"You are the worst". Cassandra said and ran out.
