In the afternoon, Angela thought that her parents were no longer fighting. They had breakfast and lunch like they usually did, even though the dining table didn't have its usual chatter. If not for her brother Oliver's funny stories from school, she wouldn't have laughed.
She thought everything would go back to normal. But that day, her whole world changed and the once perfect family she thought she had broke.
She could see her life slowly slipping out of her hands as she relentlessly chased her mother under the storm. It didn't matter that her mother broke the rules, she wanted to go with her.
Angela begged for her mother not to leave, crying her heart out as the car sped away and taking her mother with it.
"Mommy!!! Come back!"
"Mommy, wait!"
"Please…"
