I walk into my house to find my Grandfather staring at me.
"Why are you home so late?"He yelled,his voice booming."Huh,Leo?Where you been?"
I think of a quick lie.But before I can respond,I'm hit with a switch.I fall on the floor,and Grandma runs into the living room.
"Carl,stop right now!,"she wheezed.
"Patricia,leave!"
"Carl,stop,"Grandma says to Grandfather.I get up and ran up the stairs,but Grandfather yells,
"GO TO THE KITCHEN AND COOK DINNER!"
I do as I'm told.

The next day,I get on the bus with my friend Erin.
"Hey,Leo.Tough morning?" he asks."I heard your screams."
I can't show Erin my welts or tell him what my grandfather does to me.
"Well,I'm gonna go to Dauntless,& Shaheed is going to Erudite,"I tell Erin."I would go to Candor,but my grandparents will never visit me."
"Well,you go to Dauntless,& I'll visit you after initiation.Unless I don't get into ---"
"Don't say that,"I tell him.sitting forward."You'll get through it.I know you will."I sit back and fall asleep,waiting to go to school.
