Months had passed since Heather came home, her parents had fought none stop, but nothing incredibly bad had happened....yet. She sat in her room drawing as they yelled. She could tell the fight was getting serious, and she started to worry. All of a sudden the yelling stopped, something was wrong, very, very wrong. Heather tiptoed out of her room. She opened her door to their bedroom and gasped. Her step father had pinned her mother onto the bed, he was choking her and her hands were trying to break his hold on her neck. "What're you doing?" Heather shrieked, he looked up at Heather and let go of his grip on her mother's neck. "Get the fuck out of here!" He yelled, she ran into the kitchen, her mind was racing. What do I do? She thought, the phone! She grabbed the house phone, and dialed her grandmother's number. "Hello" she awnsered, "d-dads ch-choking m-mom" Heather stammered. "Don't worry Heather, I'll call the police, you sit tight!" she told her before hanging up. "Heather?" a little voice said. Alex! Heather spun around, the little girl was looking up at her with sad blue eyes. "What's happening" she asked Heather. Heather grabbed her hand "we're gonna play a game, okay?" She told her, the little girl nodded and smiled. "You have to wait in my room and be quiet until grandma comes and If you do you win" she told her. Alex ran back to her room while Heather ran to her parents bedroom, her mother was sitting on the bed shaking. I've got to make sure dad doesn't get to Alex Heather thought. She ran back to her room...

The police arrived quickly, Heather walked out of her room, and almost ran into a policeman. "Sorry" she mumbled and ran down the hallway. Her mother was sitting on the couch, in the living room emotionless. Alex ran to Heathers side, "is she okay" she whispered in her ear. Heather faked a smile "mom's okay." Alex grinned "good."
"Heather we'd like to ask you a question, please." Heather turned around a female police officer was smiling kindly at her. She nodded and went up to her, "first.." The police officer, was interrupted by Heathers step father who had entered the room. He glared at Heather and crossed his arms, "yes well then...did your father try to choke your mother?" She asked her, Heather turned around her step father was still glaring at her..."I-" she began, if she said yes her father would be angry, very angry...What if he broke out of jail and killed them? She looked at him again, he was shaking his head. Her head was beginning to hurt, what should she do?
She opened her mouth....
"no"
