Flashback

I'm 5 years old and my father is at work my mother had this man come over. She told me to stay down stairs and watch t.v . I can her noise coming from up stairs. I don't know what to do. I hear a slight scream from my mother. I run up the stairs, thinking to myself is this man hurting my mother. I almost fall as I run up, they must have heard me because I hear my mother say shut up and as i get to the door I yell for my mother.

Alissa- Mom?!?!? Are you okay?!?!?

Mother- Yes I'm fine stay where you are

My mother comes out of the room in a robe I look at her with wide eyes 

Alissa- Mommy why is that man in your's and Daddy's room 

My mother shushes me as she takes the man out of the room and soon bids him farewell 

Alissa- Mommy talk to me tell me why that man was here

Mother- No reason but you must never tell your father about this

Alissa- Why mommy if he was here for nothing then why cant i tell daddy 

Mother- You just never tell him 

I few weeks later and Mommy has had at least 5 different male friends here. I begin to wonder what my mother could be doing. I finally get the nerve to tell Daddy. 

Alissa- Daddy I need to tell you something 

Father- Not now baby daddy has work to do 

My mother walks in and looks at me, she knows i was about to tell him. I run out of the room as mother begins to talk to daddy. I try to hide but my mother finds me. 

Mother- Why would you try and tell your father that 

Alissa- i I dont know 

My mother smacks me across the face 

Mother- Tell me why God damn it 

My father runs in as he hears the yelling. My mother now hitting me over and over, my father pulls her off of me and tries to calm her down.

I feel people around me I voices I hear Luke sobbing. I hear pacing around the room. I can feel my heart beating fast. I cant open my eyes, I can feel tubes in my arms. I want to wake up and tell them I'm sorry I want to know how they feel. I want to know What was going on in his mind?
