The Hidden Room

"Hey thanks Frank I will." She tucked the disk in her bag and went home.

She entered her house. She heard the giggling of her little sister Kelly and her best friend.

"What kept you so long? " her mother asked. "Your supper is in the fridge," she added. Clara paid no attention by just took one look at her mother and ran up the stairs to her room. She could feel the anger and sense of being violated over take her.

She ran into her bedroom. "You little bitch! You fucking bitch! Just look at my shit! Do you guys even fucking ask anymore before getting into my things!" She shrieked. With a lot of force she grabbed her little sister by the hair and slammed her into the wall. Kelly’s head hit the wall with a thud. She instantly started crying and fell to the ground. Her vision got to the point where that was all she could see was just red. She bolted at May and punched her in the eye and then started fighting with her. May only managed to slap her in the face before they fell to the ground with Clara on top. She started to pound on May with her fist.

Her parents both rushed up the steps. Mary tended to bruise bloody nosed Kelly. Tony went to separated Clara and May. Clara was on top winning the fistfight. Tony managed to pull Clara off May. Clara didn’t stop fighting. She scratched and bit her dad till he bled from it. With some strength and some help from May he managed to restrain her. After thing settled down Mary got an ice pack for Kelly’s head. Clara was still struggling with both May and Tony on top of her. "Tony, are you alright? I think we should call the police after this episode!"

"That might only make matters worse."

"I think we should handle this problem ourselves if possible," said Tony.

After a while Clara calmed down and sat in a chair under her dad’s supervision.

"I think I had better go. I’m sorry I didn’t know she would react this way. We were always borrowing each other’s things till now," said May as she got her shoes.

"May, I think we might ask you to baby-sit Kelly tonight. I don’t know about Clara’s temper and I think we need to hash out some stuff with her."

Clara starred hard at her parents.

"Yeah! Can I go with May tonight?" said Kelly.

"Yes you can." said Mary. Kelly was filled with delight.

"Take that damn brat away! If I never see her again it will be too soon!" growled Clara.

"That is enough out of you, young lady!" snapped Mary.

After some time the house was still. Clara was allowed to leave her chair only if she stayed within sight of her parents. Mary was tomorrow nights cooking dinner. Tony was upstairs helping little Kelly pack her things to go to May’s house for the night.

"I just don’t understand how you could changed in a short time like that and why you turned against your friends the way you did," said Mary as she chopped up some vegetables. " I mean the way you hit Carol in the mouth and called her a bitch for just picking up you C.D."
