The sound of things shattering could be heard everywhere in the house.
10 year old me stood outside the drawing-room as my parents fought inside. It wasn't really a fight since it was always one sided.
I could see my father abusing my mother from the crack between the slightly open doors.
He lashes out on her when things don't go his way.
I stand in my place and keep staring, the light from the room shines on my eyes.
"You disloyal bitch!!" He hits her.
I stand there staring for a while. Am I supposed to do something? What can I do?
Nothing really works, ever.
"Dad" I whisper.
He pauses, then they both shoot their heads in my direction.
I wake up with a gasp.
A dream...
I sit up and realize I was sleeping on the sofa, lazily I slump against the back and glanced at the wall clock.
I straighten up and look at the clock wide eyes.
It's already 10 am?
Did I actually sleep that long? How? I recall what had happened the previous night.
Right. But, where is she?
