Think Out Loud

I woke up to a loud banging at the door. I grimaced; my head was pounding in pain.

“Help! Help, please! Open the door!”

I knew that voice; it was my mom’s. Her voice echoed through the thin walls.

“I’m coming!”

I sighed heavily and tried hauling myself out of my bed. It did feel like my bed but how did I get here? I stood shakily on my legs, taking baby steps to open the door and peeked through it; there stood my mother.

She looked anxiously at me. “They are arguing downstairs. Please help me stop them.”

“Mom, what are you talking about? Who is arguing?” I asked while yawning and rubbing my eyes as I followed her and stumbled into the kitchen, where I heard raised voices—my dad’s and Mik’s.

“I can’t believe I wasted my money on both of you!”

I leaned against the door frame, looking at them both in frustration. “What is going on here?” Both of their heads turned in my direction.

“Agata, get your ass in here now,” Dad ordered. He was casually dressed in his long sleeve and khaki pants. “We need to talk.”

“It’s already 1:00 in the afternoon for it to be too early in the morning,” Dad scoffed. The serious look on his face scared me to death.

Fuck. I overslept.

“He said sit down.” Mom motioned to me to take a seat. She was nervously shaking like a teenage brat about to be scolded by Dad.

The moment I was seated, Dad put a piece of paper down in front of me. “This came in the mail this morning, express delivery from Gates University.”

Mik let out an exasperated sigh, shaking his head and turned his back on us.

“Brandy, honey, why don’t you stay in the living area and go watch your favorite TV show?” Dad walked Mom out of the kitchen.

I thought the soothing and calming voice of Dad toward Mom would eventually carry over to me but it didn’t.

I looked down at the paper. It read:
