Beautiful Melody
Staring at my door, I wondered who was on the other side. It wasn't my parents since I could still hear my dad yelling and mom isn't brave enough to walk away while he's talking/yelling. With them out of the running, I knew it was one of my sisters or perhaps both.
Normally I would have gladly let them in, however I seemed to be lacking the necessary motivation it took to get my body up and across the room to unlock the door. My bedroom door is always locked, that was my number one rule and advised my sisters to do the same, after all you never knew when dad was going to blow his top.
The knocking continued, only now it seemed to grow more urgent. Slowly I got to my feet and walked across my room to the door. I quickly unlocked it and pulled it open. Both my sisters were standing in the hallway, sad looks on their faces.
