•The Next Day, Y/n's POV•

When I got home last night, Alex was already passed out on the couch. It's currently twelve PM now and I'm laying in bed, staring at the wall. It's bad to think that I had to give my own child to someone else because I was afraid she wouldn't be safe here.. Alex's drinking is getting out of hand and I don't know what to do..

I decided to get up and check on Alex since it was a little quiet in there. As I walked in the living room, I saw him sitting on the couch with a bottle in his hand.

Y/n: "Alex.."

He looks up at me.

Y/n: "Can we please talk?"

I said, he sighs.

Al: "If it's about this, then no."

He said, pointing to the beer.

Y/n: "Please-"

Al: "I don't have a problem!"

He yelled.

Y/n: "Yes you do!"

I yelled back, tears began to form in my eyes.

Al: "You just like to bitch about everything."

He said, shaking his head.

Y/n: "It isn't bitching when I'm concerned for my daughters own safety."

I said, he looked at me.

Y/n: "You're getting out of control, Alex."

I watched as he stood up, walking towards me. I back up a little, but then he slapped me right across the face..

Al: "Don't fucking tell me that I have a problem! Understand!?"

He yelled in my face.. I just stood there in disbelief, and shock. He turns around and walked to the kitchen, I just stood there as tears rolled down my face.. I told myself I couldn't be here anymore.. I can't stay. So I went to my room and shut the door, locking it. I grab a suit case from my closet and grab some clothes.

I stuffed them in the suitcase and zipped it up, then I walked out of my room. I didn't want him to catch me leaving, so I was very careful. I looked to see that he was still in the kitchen, so I ran for the door and walked out, closing it quietly. I then walked to my car and got in, then I texted Kaylee to see if I could come over. She said it was fine so I went to her house.

It was raining and I was crying so it was a little hard to see while I was driving, but I managed to get there safely.

I get out of my car and leave the suitcase in there. I go up to her door and knock. Soon, she opened it and looked at me. Her eyes widened a little.

Ka: "What happened?"

She said, pulling me into a hug.

Y/n: "Alex."

I said, she pulled away and looked at me.

Ka: "Come in and tell me."

She said, taking me inside. We sat down and I told her about everything.. about how he was drinking and how he's gotten more aggressive, and that he slapped me. She looked like she was going to cry the entire time, but she didn't.

Ka: "Y/n.. I'm so sorry.. why didn't you come sooner?"

She said, I wipe my tears with a tissue she gave me.

Y/n: "I just.. I thought I could do something to make him stop but.. he didn't and now here I am.."

She shook her head in disbelief.
