Just that girl.
Beating
Thump! Oh no. Thump, thump. The thundering steps grew louder as he got closer. I curled up against the wall in the corner of the room. Tears stung at my eyes, but I wouldn't let them come out, not yet.
His voice grumbled my name from outside the door. I slid my eyes shut and took a deep breath. Bang! He pounded his big fists against the wood of the door. Bang! Bang! I knew I had to let him in. Or else the screaming would start, the beating would be worse.
Slowly I walked towards the shaking door. One, two. One, two. I counted my steps, hoping
for a miracle that would never come. When I opened the door his un-shaved face was full of
rage.
Rage he would take out on me.
"Why was this door locked?" He screamed, his breathe reeked of scotch. My voice
came out in a horse whisper.
"I.... I don't know" The anger in his eyes grew.
"Answer me!" But I never had time to. Thwack!
I'm just that girl. He's just that man, that angry man. This is just my life.
