The unforgiven Part One

*Crash* I open my eyes and dart out of bed, trembling. I turn my head and look at the clock, 4:03. Oh no... I slept in. I could hear the foot steps coming up the stairs. I braced myself. Thud, thud, thud, thud. 17 steps exactly. Thud, thud, thud, My heart races more and more each step. How could I have been so stupid? Thud, thud, thud, thud. Its been two whole days since I screwed up. Thud, thud, thud, thud, I wanted to go back in bed and hide under my covers like I did when I was younger. Thud thud. That was the last step. I could feel tears already rising in anticipation. Thud, thud, thud, He is stomping on the hard wood floor.. He is angry. I stared at the door knob. I watched it turn slowly in my head. It seemed my whole life had always been in slow motion like some horrible car accident that never ended in the sweet relief of death. The door opens and hits the wall in the same place it always does. Leaving that same whole in the wall that is left in my heart. He has been drinking, I could smell it. How could I have made this mistake. Such a bad mistake. He didn't even blink before grabbing me by the arm. His fingernails were never really long but it pierced my skin like a fresh needle. I could already feel the blood rush down my arms. I am so stupid why didn't I wake, I don't understand.....
