TW domestic violence, alcoholism, abuse

It's yet another afternoon at our flat. We the five kids are home, Efrem's just got back from his weekly 4-hour detention. I almost got it by error, we're Irish twins and well, the Lupsowiec, myself included, aren't the most well-behaved kids. And we kinda look alike. Except he is a head taller than me.

Mum doesn't even greet him, she just goes back to the kitchen with Aleksy sucking on her chest.

Well, legit. 'cause Lech has brought dad back home two hours ago and the combo Lech-drunk dad-Efrem is deadly.

"What the fuck were you thinking? You wanna grow into a delinquent?"

Annnnd here we go. Daniel pauses his game to listen what is going on. Efrem throws his backpack on the floor, and gives dad the finger. Lech isn't here to see it, for now. He is finishing his homework. Dad squishes the can in his hand, and suddenly raises from the armchair. Dad staggers toward Efrem. Daniel looks at me, waiting for me to say a thing. Ohhh no, Dan, I won't interfere.

"This is how you treat your father, you little cunt?"

"And you call yourself a father?"

And it begins. It's like, routine by now. Dad grabs Efrem by the collar and pins him against the wall. Dad is tall. Strong. Stout. But Efrem too is tall and strong. He used to be wary of that, because when we were ten it was scary as hell. Now, he doesn't even flinch.

"What, you're gonna choke me like you do when mum gets outside of the kitchen?" he mocks.

He gets slapped. Just hard enough for it to bruise.

"Stop playing the smartass! You're the worst in this household of fucking idiots! At least your brothers all have the intelligence of laying low! Fuck", he shouts before freeing my brother from his hand. "You think you're setting a good example?"

"Dad, stop, Efrem has already..."

"Shut up, the little shit!", he growls at me.

I shouldn't have spoken.

'cause now Efrem is loading his punch. Right in the nose it goes.

"YOU BETTER NOT TALK LIKE THAT TO JON!"

Oh fuck. Now Lech is moving. Welp. I jump from my chair and step in between the two of them before my oldest brother intervenes.

"Stop fighting!" I yell. "The neighbours will call the cops again and CPS will separate us, Efrem! Stop!"

This usually is enough for my brother to instantly go livid. So I can make sure dad is sat again when Lech barges in and pulls Efrem in our room by the hair.

"I'm so sorry dad for Efrem", I say before bringing him the vodka bottle. "He is kinda tired. You know?"

"Can't wait for him to turn eighteen. Or anything, really. Just to get him out of here. Your mother agrees with me", he answers between two long sips. "Just a good-for-nothing. A bad seed."

"Yes, yes, yes, we know..." I don't like that, but better indulge in his ranting. Daniel resumes his game. We just hear shouting and cries from the other room. "Let Lech handle it, okay?"

Dad doesn't answer.

"I can turn on the TV if you want."

"Yes, Jonatan, do it."

He starts to slur on his words. Yeah. Better. I stay by his side until he falls asleep. When the door of our room opens, after Lech shouted insanities in Polish, Efrem goes out. He just leaves our flat, without saying anything. I go after him, immediately.

"Why you following me?"

"Makin' sure you don't get in any more trouble."

"You too believe I am a delinquent and a bad person, huh", he says in a destroyed voice. "They're right, I guess, y'all are right, I..."

"Efrem, I... you know I don't! Aw, come on... You, of all of us, you who are so tough and all, you won't let this get to you, right? You're great, you're like, the only reason dad doesn't strike me or Dan."

"I'm... No, you know what, I don't care."

He cares. He really does care. But that's fine. We'll grab sodas and just chill at the city park. It'll be good. Perhaps he will forget everything about tonight.

Right person wrong time will always be the most painful thing to witness, anywhere , in any way, anytime.

"if you find yourself out, if there is a right time, chances are I'll be here; we could share a lifeline

If you feel like falling, catch me on the way down

Never been less empty, all I feel is free now"

We're 7 episodes in and I already nearly died multiple times. I wasn't able to breathe, my heart stopped beating for an unknown amount of time and my brain nearly exploded, thanks Jonny, thanks Alex, I am insane.

I just remembered I licked a salt stone once.

Like one of those you get for horses.

Not from the horse.

My mom bought it fresh from the store for our horse and before putting it into the back of the car I licked it.

Well I spent 6 hours in the hospital yesterday I flipped a 4wheeler and fucked my shit up✨

[piktusid]

Redraw of a meme. That's what I feel all the way...

The original one. Dk who owns It, me sorry... But there's a translation

1 - (a person with sheet of paper) - Hey guys, look what I drew.

2 - They hate me so much-

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king
