Again.

Mommy started screaming at Daddy again. I think it's because he forgot my cupcake. (We don't have much money to buy a cake so instead I have a cupcake every year.) Daddy started yelling too. He was saying things about "cheating" and "money" and how its Mommy's fault.I started to cry and one of my brothers came and picked me up. As we left the room I saw Daddy hit Mommy. I screamed for my brother to let me down.

"Mommy! Mommy, are you okay?!" I yelled. Before the door closed all the way I saw Mommy on the ground. She wasn't moving.

I already knew he was coming in here after he was finished with Mommy.

The doorknob shook hard and my brothers stood in front of me, protecting me. I knew it wouldn't do much because he always found a way to hit all of us. I was scared but I learned to deal with it because it wasn't the first time and it wasn't the last either.
