Hey so this is my first story on this site so bare with me lol. I wrote this a long time ago and therefore the story is finished. I would just like to know if you guys would like me to publish the entire story on here.

"Mom, where are you? MOM!" Ethan screamed as he ran through the house looking for his mother, who kept calling him over and over.

"Come Ethan, come join me my darling and we will be happy together in heaven." whispered his mother, whom he had finally found.

"I'm coming Mother, I'm coming!" he shouted frantically as he ran towards his mother, but he was suddenly stopped by his father waking him.

"Ethan, son wake up! Wake up, you were having a bad dream."

"Dad, why do I keep having those dreams? I swear I will go crazy with another one of those dreams!"

"I know son," said his father trying to comfort him, "I know son."

"No you don't know dad! You didn't lose your mom when you were 14 and your father did not get married right after the dirt was thrown on her coffin," he said crudely to his father.

"Don't take that tone with me. You know your mother and I had problems that we were working out, but in the end we ended up getting a divorce. You know I waited for me to marry Tanya."

"I don't call a year waiting enough dad!" Ethan went on, his voice rising.

"Ethan, you are being unfair and childish now. I was not going to wait 10 or 20 years after your mother's death to get married, so save it and go back to SLEEP!" Mr. Kendrick bellowed.

"What's going on here?" asked Tanya.

"Nothing. None of your business Cruela!"

At that moment, Mr. Kendrick slapped Ethan.

"You can say all what you want to me but not to her, do you hear me!"

"Yes," Ethan answered spitefully.

"Good. Now get some sleep so you can get up in the morning well rested. Let's go," he added turning to his wife.

When they were in the hallway, Mrs. Kendrick told her husband that she would like to speak to Ethan alone.

"Sure, knock yourself out. I really don't understand him. I understand that he has gone through a lot this past year, but he has to understand me. I could not have waited a lifetime to marry you. I needed support to go through this ordeal, and to raise him properly. He knows that, but he's still giving me a hard time, and I'm really sorry about the way he spoke to you. He will be punished for it."

"Don't worry about it Richard. He thinks that I'm trying to replace his mother in this house, and I will talk to him and try to comfort him. Ok. So don't worry about punishing him. Let me take care of it."

With that, she hugged her husband and kissed him. She then went into Ethan's room, and waited for her husband to leave before she spoke to him.

"Listen kid. I struggled too hard to get him from your mother . . . and to keep him after she died for you to be messing it up now! So you keep you big mouth shut, you be nice to him and you don't give any more trouble," she whispered viciously.

"Or what?!" he whispered back in the same tone.

"I can make your life worse than it already is, and you know if you tell you father about this conversation, he will not believe you, so don't even try to do it. You don't want to be sent to boarding school," she answered with a sly smile.

"I would love to see you do that Cruela," he spat in her face.

She wiped the spit off her face and retorted,

"Not as much as me."

"Get out of my room before I hurt you, and trust me, I am capable of doing it," he shouted, but not loud enough for his father to hear.

"I'm going, no need to get so worked up boy,' she responded amused.

As soon as she left, Ethan shut the door and locked it with trembling hands. He always trembled when he was really, really angry, and at this moment, he was beyond mad. If he could he would have killed Tanya, but that was way too risky. He rubbed his hands over his face furiously, the punched his right fist into the wall on the right side of the door. He cursed and rubbed his throbbing hand.

How can my father be so blind? he asked himself getting into bed.

Mom, please watch over us and help us wherever you are. We need you.

Five minutes later, he fell asleep, but this time, he did not dream.

So what did you guys think? Come on don't be shy, I'll need at least 2 reviews if you want me to post the next chapter. See I'm not greedy...
