then he kept doing it...my brother and sister were asleep. i told him to stop, but he wouldnt listen *kayla's sobbing by now* and then i called the police, he got here, and then they took him...mom was hurt though...they woke up my siblings and we all went to the hospital...my grandma met us there. i seen the whole thing. *sniffs* and then i guess he just took everything and left.
Nick:oh kayla...
Kayla:*cries*
Nick:lets get out of here.
Kayla:*looks arround* nick, this used to be home. now its, nothing but horryfying memories. thats why i avoid the dark...no lights were on but the TV. i'm so scared now that he'll come back, and do something else.
Nick:thats why you're so protective over everything
Kayla:i've seen what a man can do to a woman, and what someone can do to a persons heart.
Nick:you, you don't think i'd do that do you?
