Sorry for the long wait! But guess what the update is here!!! ANd it is not on Tuesday..... SOOOOO OOPS

-----------------------------------------

This is the worst feeling in the world. It's like someone is being hit with a stick and I am just standing there stagnant. You can tell since there is a river of tears. Not too big, but enough to say that this was the hardest I have cried. It still feels like something in a movie: that you will wake up one day and everything abominable will perish. When I was little, I would remember the bruised hand of my mother holding me; the excruciating screams of my father being the Frankenstein of my sleep.

There is a knocking and immediately I wake up. "How long was I out for?" I think. But my thoughts are immediately interrupted by the sunlight's strike. The door opens with a thud; I am greeted by Kathy.

"You okay sweetheart? " She asks

"Ya-Ya-Y-Y-Ya where is he?" I answer stuttering.

"He went out to the store to get-" She suddenly pauses. "To get things," She says uncertainty.

"How long has he been doing this?" I ask.

"Ever since we got married" She responds sadly.

"Why don't you divorce him?" I ask confused?

"Well, it was an arranged marriage." She left it at that. "I miss my daughter," She says suddenly her eyes glazing over.

"Who?" I ask puzzled

"My daughter," She says more loudly. I was about to ask more about her daughter when suddenly we hear the front door slam. Kathy jumps up and says " Pretend you are asleep" "I will distract him".

"No don't it is fine," I say.

"I have dealt with him for years I can do it" She responds.

I try to stop her but she just walks out. I hear yelling than a smack. I just sit there scared, sad, and worried. I knew I could just escape but what about Kathy. She would probably get abused more if I leave. He will blame her and that won't be good. I don't want her to get hurt. I decided then and there that when we escape we have to do it together.
