Chapter 2 - "MOTHER"

As Nora fell with a loud thud, she gasped in pain as she had landed head first. Her mother then started to shout something that she couldn't quite understand. Reaching her hands out, she yanked hard on her right arm with both hands & Nora just laid there too afraid to move an inch. As the grip on her arm slowly began to tighten, Nora felt tears begin to rise but, she held them back as best as she could. Her mother then let go of her arm with her right hand, turned it into a tight fist, & as she raised it, someone suddenly burst through the front door. It was Sora. Nora yelped as the door violently slapped against the wall & Sora charged at their mother & swung his backpack around. It slammed hard against their mother's right side of her head & she was sent falling to the side with a loud thud.

Nora, panting, looked up at her brother. "I KNEW that this would happen!" He yelled. Even though she knew that it wasn't AT her, it still scared her. "Nora...I know that school doesn't start until an hour but, please, you NEED to come with me." He said rather harshly as she stared at their mother's lifeless body. She wasn't dead but, being hit with a backpack that had a TON of school books in it was sure enough to knock even a grown man down & out. Nora quickly nodded & got back onto her feet. Still shaken up, she looked behind her at the pills & glared at them. "She hasn't been taking her psych meds." Sora said knowing that that was what she was thinking. Nora then burst into tears causing Sora to stumble a bit. "SORA!!!" She cried. "I WANT FATHER BACK!!!" She sobbed as she practically body-slammed him & hugged him as tightly as possible. Sora hesitated for a bit but, he began to softly rub her head. "I know..." He said not knowing what else to say. "Wanna come with me to buy snacks?"
