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.
