She thought that If she ever became a Pokemon trainer, that her Eeviee would be the most beautiful pokemon ever. Then she heard the arguments that would change her life. "John, why are you so lazy? You never fixed the car, you never fixed the dishwasher, and you never fixed the washing machine. And then when you come home from work you waltz through the door, plop down on the couch, and sit there and expect ME to wait on you. And you dont care about Claire. Whenever she asks you to help with homework, you shout 'Shut up i'm watching T.V.'. And your NEVER home on her birthday. I am tired of you treating her that way. And I m tired of you treating me so awful. John Tamberello, I want a divorce." Her mother shouted. Her father then said"Eliza, if you divore me, I'll sue you for custody of Claire.!" Her mother than said " Do whaterver you want, Claire and I are leaving!" Claire burst into tears. She loved her parents. She didnt want them to divorce. She knew it was her fault. She then heard her mothers footsteps coming up the steps. Claire started to wipe the tears from her eyes when her mother bursted into her room. " Claire, pack your things, were leaving" her mother said, pulling stuff out of Claires dressers. " But what about Dad?" Claire said, walking up to her mother. " Your father can just stay here. He dosent love us so we should go someplace where we are loved." They then packed Claires things. When her mother left, Claire took Eevees stuff out from under the bed. A few toys, brushes, and a blanket that Claire knitted for Eevee. Claire then pulled out her family album. She looked at the pictures inside of it. One of Claire and her parents on vaction at Celuron city. Another one of Claire when she first got Eevee. One picture caught her eye. A picture of Claire's parents when she was born. They were holding her at her mothers bed in the hospitol.They looked so happy. Claire then decided she couldnt be happy without her parents being together. she decided to run away. "Claire come on NOW!" Her Mom shouted, breaking Claire's train of thought. She then picked Eevee up and rushed downstairs. Her mother was already outside warming up th car. She sat Eevee and her stuff down. She walked up to her father, who was in the kitchen. She could tell he was about to burst int tears. "Dad, I love you." She said, bursting into tears again. Her father just stood there, didn't say a word. Claire walked back into the hall and picked up Eevee and her stuff. She walked out the door, just as her father burst into tears, afraid he may never see his little girl ever again. Hows that ? Jessie .
