"Be still, don’t you cry. Please, son, close your eyes.” I spent the next forty minutes acting like I couldn’t hear the screaming coming from downstairs. We play the hand that we’re dealt. "It hurts less than being alone. When he hits me, I know that his hands aren’t his own. If you could only see the way he looks at me, like I’m the only girl in the world and I’m his. Even if I don’t want to be.” The knife he threw, it missed narrowly, but I wish it’d hit me. Then, maybe you’d listen to me when I said that that man is a monster. When I close my eyes, all I see is him grabbing your face and pushing you against the wall.
