Sally wakes up with Bethalyn cuddled up next to her. “She must have fell asleep on me from crying so much, I can’t believe dad would do that…she didn’t deserve to be hit, I deserve that beating more than her…” she thinks to herself, she sighs and slowly gets out of bed as to not wake her little sister. She walks out of the bedroom to find her father making breakfast, probably as an apology. Sally tenses up, “Morning”

“Morning Sally, sleep good last night?”

“Just fine thank you, and you?”

“Good, I slept well” Sally sighs and sits down. Her father sits across from her and folds his arms.

“Sally, we need to talk”

“No shit, really?”

“I’m sorry I hit Bethalyn, I didn’t mean to, it was a mistake.”

“Why did you hit her? Why?”

“She didn’t put her toys away and I got mad, I thought hitting her was the best option…that’s why…I’m sorry, I know I need to be a better father to you and her, I’m a sorry excuse.”

“You do realize this doesn’t change anything? Our relationship I mean. I still hate you.”

“I know…I know…I’m sorry I can’t be a better father.”

“You should be sorry…”

Her father was about to reply when Bethalyn walks in the room. Sally looks at her father, he’s frowning. Sally gets up and dishes up breakfast for her sister. “Bethalyn, come eat, you need your energy.” Bethalyn sits as far away from their father as she can; she stares at her plate for a while then eats. Sally dresses her sister and takes her to her friend’s house to play all day. Sally then goes to the park and calls Jack.
