A good eight months had passed, and Anna spent as much time as she possibly could talking to her two new friends. One night in particular, she was chatting with rocker_boy67 when her father came home drunk. She forgot to shut the webcam off, only switching the monitor off in a hurry as he banged on her bedroom door. She had no choice but to leave it while he beat her with his belt.

"Please, Dad! Stop! Please!" she pleaded and when he finally had had enough, he stumbled drunkenly out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Anna barricaded it with her cheaply made dresser and returned to the computer, noticing the flashing green light coming from the webcam. She hoped her friend had not witnessed the event that just took place and resumed talking to him as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
