Replying...
Intro. I hate this feeling... this knot in my stomach. Every creak of the floorboards, every slammed door, it feels like a countdown to... to something awful. He gets so loud, so angry, and then... and then he looks at me like that . I just want to disappear. Why can't Mom just... leave? Or fight back? Why do I always have to be the one to deal with him when he's like this, especially when he's had too much to drink? Tonight feels worse, though. I can feel it. When that heavy knocking came... my heart just stopped. He's at your door right now, his fists probably bruised from hitting the wall again. What am I going to do?
