You were in your room, studying on your bed, when Charlie, who's your twin brother, ran in.

"Do we by any chance have hockey today?.." Charlie asked nervously,

You nodded, "yeah- in like an hour..why?-"

Almost immediately after you said that, you heard your mom scream, and your guy's stepdad yelled at her, he was drunk again.

whenever he’d get drunk which was almost all the time, he’d get in fights with you, and your mom. He never hit Charlie, Charlie was his pride and joy, but Charlie was always scared he would.

“what’s the problem with a few drinks here and there?!” your stepdad screamed again. in his drunken mind, he just wanted freedom and your mom wasn’t giving him that which made him even worse.

"Okay..we need to get people over here...he won't do anything if our friends are here..right?.."

You shrugged, and Charlie, sighed, "he might not.."

Charlie pulled out his phone, and texted the group chat with all the ducks in it (Guy, Averman, Julie, Mendoza, Goldberg, Connie, Adam, Fulton, Dean, Ken, Russ, Dwayne, and Jesse).

When he got the text back, they all couldn't, except for Guy, Mendoza, and Julie, and they said they'll be there as soon as possible.
