 She said, "thank you" and he walks away no other word was
said. Not a single thought even crossed her mind that she
had even done something wrong. She said hoping he would hear
her, I am going to change. After she changed he met her half
way back pulls on  her arm and... she said I am telling you
the truth please trust me, I am being honest. please stop.
He hurt her she cried on the edge of the bed hoping that no
one would hear her or see her. But deep inside all she
wanted was someone to hear her and comfort her. with out
being judged.She is only talking to someone...She did not
mean to get so noisy. She walks in where he is at...She
shows him a picture. He looks at her and said to
her,....What the hell are you doing?  She looks down to the
ground feeling like a child. Her heart sinks deep in her
personal waves of ocean, she sinks because, she has done
something wrong again. Will she ever be able to go with out
doing something he does not approve of. He said, to her Why
the.......? She said to him, I am sorry I did not mean to be
so loud. He said to her, I don't want to hear it.......She
feels bad for what she did. But, not anymore does she cry
over it. Instead she has to brace herself for what is to
come.She prays to god that.....He will not vent his anger on
her. She prayed once more that those around her would not be
loud to bother his sleep. Looking at her grandfathers
picture, who she has never met....Thinks to herself will you
help me Grandpa from above....? Please grandpa be my
angel!....He grabs and he tells her I should punch you in
the......For making them make noise. She said, I am......"He
said, I don't want to fucking hear it." She said, I was just
going to ask a question in a small child like voice. He said
to her shut the fuck up! She said, I am trying to
explain...He cuts her off. She remains silent. Still she
does not cry. She only hopes they will be quiet. The more
noise they made the more he got mad at her. Finally he
grabbed her by the shirt and her face with a firm grip and
than.....He did not punch her but, her cheek bone is
bruised. Than is when she said, please would you people shut
up silently. He claims it is her.. fault... She tries to
defend herself but, she could not...... He is watching
television. She got up to do something. He grabbed her shirt
and said where are you going?....... She said I have
to.......He let her go.       His words were you
fucking.....piss me off! She ignore him and went on with his
business. It gets quiet.... Than more noise.....back to
quiet......more noise. Talking, laughing, HE cannot
sleep.She tries to sleep and embraces for what to come.
Nothing no movement. Than the talking and laughing with the
television in the background. He gets up to go to the
restroom. When she was not expect it on her.....HE elbowed
jobbed her on the bone. She cried out in a muffled pain.....
instantly her tears begin to fall. She tries not to cry too
loud. He said, Shut the fuck up! that will teach a lesson.
She said to him earlier, That even if she did not do what
she did. It would not change anything. He did not want to
hear it. So what could she do? she shut up to keep things
calm. After he was in the restroom she slowed her crying
down and her anger was rising. She had to use her will to
vent it.With the tears streaming down her face silently and
someone loud laugh fill the air she got tired of it and
said,....Would you shut the fuck up so we can sleep! Than
she herd a murmur of keep your voice down. The television
was turned down. all she herd was murmur's of I don't put up
with that shit blah blah blah. She thinks...Oh great taking
shit again! I can not hear it. By than her tears stopped and
subconsciously she put her arm over her face and eyes. She
could not hear everything what was said. He came back in
and, said nothing. He rolled over to his side. she she
rolled over to hers with her back facing his. She tossed and
turned for awhile until she drifted off.... The next morning
she woke up to a bruised feeling.
