Chapter 34

THE FIGHT

I was expecting that he was going to hit me but he didn't. He just looked at me with an expression that I didn't understand and then he drew back from where he was hovering over me. And lay on the bed beside me. I didn't move, I was too afraid to.

Even my breathing was still because I feared that I was going to anger him.

But soon enough I heard light snoring like he was sleeping. And when I moved my head to the side he was indeed sleeping.

Slowly and quietly I moved away from him out of the bed and then I opened the door and left the room. My lips were bleeding. I needed to stop it.

I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen and turned on the tap as I took a towel and placed it under the hot water. Then I turned it off and let the water drip down. Then I squeezed it gently so I didn't burn my hand. Then I cleaned the blood using a hot towel to stop the bleeding.

I heard footsteps rush to the kitchen and I didn't bother turning, I couldn't look at anyone with the way I looked.
