The Nightmare Outside My Window

F O R T Y - O N E

{ Harlow }

The house was completely quiet. The baby was upstairs sleep. Michael was with outside or in the garage fixing this mustang he just bought. It's a 1960 Shelby mustang. Good thing that he bought it cause I don't feel like hearing his voice all the time. He yells when he's mad at me for doing nothing.

Ever since I took off from work, he don't go back to work. He stays home with me. I'm so ready to move out this house. This was a waste of money. I want to be by myself with little ole Jr. I don't need Michael. I don't need a man to take care of me anyways. But that's what I get for fallen in love to early with Michael.

"You cooking tonight?"Michael walked in the house smelling like oil and gas.

"I don't feel to good"I mumble while looking at the tv.

"Yo ass been saying that ever since we came home with Jr. What the hell wrong with you?!"there he goes with the yelling.

"Michael!! I'm not in the mood for cooking nor arguing with you!!"I yelled back. I put my hand on my head feeling how hot it was. "Shit"I mumble feeling light headed.

"Who the fuck you yelling at?"he came around the couch walking slowly towards me.

"Michael, just go fix on your car"I got up from the couch but was pushed back down so hard. "Are you serious!!?"I looked up at him. I got up quickly from the couch and then SLAP.

I felt my face and looked at him with tears coming from my eyes. He just slap me. This nigga just slap me. Now I really have to get away from him. "Oh hell no"I got up again but walked the other way away from him.

"Baby I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"I heard him say as I made my way to the bathroom. I slam the bathroom door and looked at myself in the mirror. I had a hand print on my face from Michael slapping me. A wipe the tears away and prayed to God that he could stop. But I don't think that will happened.
