I innocently sit in the dark, the corner where i sit when i cry. i hear the screaming, and my mom crying. my sister runs to my room and lays in my bed. she asked what was wrong, whats going on?? i told her that dad was drunk, it sounded like he hit her. i hear my dads foot steps coming toward my room, as i sit with fear, the door opens. he says your mom wants you. as i ran down the long, steep, stairs, my dad whispered, i love you, remember this, no matter what happens. he knew what he did, that he was wrong, he knew he ruined the relationship he had with my mom. i heard every word, every breath that was taken. i heard doors slamming. knowing that my dad was wrong i said ....i love you too.
when i got in the car ready to leave i sall him cry, i heard my mom cry, i cried.
