Living life in the Ellwood's residence isn't exactly the whole 'Unicorns and Rainbows.' Arguments tend to spontaneously erupt out of no where, mostly in the morning due to no one actually being a typical 'morning person.'
This one particular argument occurred due to me not eating breakfast. - not the best habit in the world but still. - My brother walked out before all the drama happened, then my mother's partner, then mum and then me. We went into the car oblivious about the door still being unlocked.
Walking home on a Friday to find your door unlocked seemed like one of the scream movies. - Walking into the house to find the murderer with a scream mask running around the house after you. I think I may be watching too many movies.
Naturally me and my friend opened the door and walked into the hallway very timidly. We checked the whole bottom floor and found nothing. I walked upstairs and found the flask I had left there in the morning.
Hearing a noise in the spare room I grabbed it using it as my only decent weapon and preparing myself to hit the intruder around the head as hard as I could - not that I would look scary. I mean, come on. A sixteen year old, with a blue flask holding it like a baseball bat. Terrifying? I doubt it..
Walking into the spare room took me quite a long time, I wanted to check if my room had had any damage done to it, then my brother's room. Nothing appeared to be wrong so I walked into the spare room, I was confronted by my cat diving into a pillow case. Not only was it a bit of a downer and all my adrenalin going to waste, I also had to save the case from the clasp of my cat or she would turn it into shreds.
The evening went on, I cooked us dinner, fed the cats and we sang to a few songs on the radio. We were fine until we heard footsteps in the hallway, we never heard the door actually open or close. The door to the kitchen was pushed open and not going to lie, I basically screamed and shouted at the same time. All in the face of my aunt. This is the reason why I always, always lock the door and you may need to also, just so you don't have the same experience as us, or worse.
