5 minutes
I'm tense waiting for my door to open
I check my window
My heart sinks when I see the empty driveway
10 minutes
I'm scared
I hear the yelling thru my padded headphones
Wishing the volume had a higher max to drown out the noise
20 minutes
Tears stream down my face as I sit in the middle of my floor
30 minutes
I put my entire head under the bath water to hide the noise outside
40 minutes
I sit in an empty room my wet hair dripping down my face matching the blur In my eyes
50 minutes
I hear stomping down the hall as I wrap my arms around my shaking legs
Praying he doesn't have any care to come for me
55 minutes
The sobs get louder escaping my throat as I struggle not to scream out in internal pain
60 minutes
The door opens and I hear my mom's voice and time stops knowing I'm safe again
