Three bangs scared my soul as I was brought out of deep thoughts. I already knew who's shadow would be hovering my porch tonight, but instead I shouted ''Who is it?''. ''Open this damn door!'' he yelled back. I walked anxiously to the door twirling a pocketknife in my hand. To avoid frustration, I placed the knife in my back pocket for safe-keeping. I untwisted the locks and opened the door. "Mommy!" my beautiful baby girl happily yelled, running into my legs. "Take the bag" he demanded. I reached out my shaky hand and grabbed it. "You got my money?" he asked. "Baby go upstairs" I said sweetly. He followed his eyes on our daughter as she ran upstairs. Then he came into my house and closed the door. "Now let me ask you again. You got my motherfuckin money?" he said basically jacking me up. "I lost my job." i gulped. "That's not an excuse, you should still have some fuckin money on you!" he pulled me tighter. "I spent the last of my money on bills." I told him. "okay cool" he said letting me go.  '' Go downstairs he demanded. ''No" i said. Unexpectedly he pulled me by my ponytail and dragged me to the basement door. "Now walk down those fuckin stairs" he demanded even more. Terrified as I was, I walked down the stairs quickly and leaned against the corner wall. He became awfully close and started kissing me!
