Secrets

Hes at it again. I sat there, listening. Her screams echoed through the house. Why does he do this to her? Is this a normal marriage? Is this what people do when they love each other?
I cracked the door to my room scared that if I opened it more than an inch, I'd get hurt too. This doesn't happen every night. Just sometimes.
This man is foreign to me. Yes, hes my father but when hes like this.. its like he's a whole other person. He seems ten times bigger then his normal 6'3 build, he looks darker. His eyes go from a light brown to an almost black. He looks like a monster with hands that could engulf an entire inferno.
She said something wrong tonight. Something she could've kept to herself.
Some say that the things that happen in a family household stay there if there is no one to hear it. He knows she won't say anything. Shes too scared.
Little did he know that my two year old eyes were watching, just around the corner.
