July 14, 2012:

  Anger. Unhinged. Phycotic. All of these words don't even come close to what I had witnessed. My fathers steaming face was red hot and the unnerving smell of alcohol emitted from his tattered clothes. I hadn't had enough time to hide from him because he had burst through the door so unexpectedly. In fact mother, Lily, and I were in the middle of a wonderful dinner when the door swung open. Nothing like this had ever happened, Father was suppose to be at a business meeting. Instead he was obviously drunk, had the reminiscing smell of cigarettes on his breath, and was staggering toward the dinning table at a very alarming rate. His fists swung through the air in violent hand motions.

" I CALLED YOU FIVE TIMES SYLVIA. FIVE TIMES!"  His words echoed throughout the house his stare intensified on my mother. "Crazy" was another word I added to the list of things he was acting because I had been helping mother clean all evening and not once had the phone rang... not even a text. Me and Lily were to terrified to speak, I remember thinking about sneaking upstairs dragging Lily behind me but with fathers current state I decided against it. Instead I sided with my second option which was blend in. My mother did not even move a muscle. When I looked over at Lilys face I thought that my dinner was about to escape from me, I could feel it in my throat slowly creeping up. Her face was pale and her eyes had terror running in them. Her smile during dinner was now in a frown. A small tear ran down her cheek and I had started feeling like maybe the first option was the only when father got even more violent. 

  He was still standing at the dinner table when he pulled out a cool metal pistol. My face did not move. If you have never felt the feeling of pure terror you have no way of realizing how scared I felt at that moment. My body locked and my heart felt like it dropped a thousand feet into my stomach. Never before had we owned a gun, I had never seen one until that moment.  Mother stood still with her eyes concentrating on the gun. I knew what thoughts were running through her head, it showed plainly on her face. " he has a gun, do not move. he will shoot. no escape. do not be a hero. I love you. "  looking to Lily I knew she could not even comprehend this situation. She sat still not blinking.

" Now I have been working for hours trying to keep food on the table!" Father rambled on. The gun pointed at mother. His hand shaked and I was scared he might accidentally pull the trigger by the way his hand was moving. Mother still was unmoving. I took the time to study the gun while he was still rambling. I was sure nobody could understand what he was saying anyway his words jumbled together in a huge mess. The gun was silver and the trigger was fit into the underneath with fathers finger a little to snugly pressed against it. Mother found the courage to speak finally she said..

" Hun please do not do this at least let the children leave, I know that I should have answered my phone but I wanted to make the house nice and clean when you go home I am so sor-"

" SHUT UP!" Father screamed back at her his hands had gone to his head and over his ears. The gun pointed up into the air. Mother was not finished, she had a plan and I knew it. Now she turned to me, softly she whispered.

" Hazel, take you sister up to your room leave throughout the window. Find help. I love you too so much"

I could not process what she just said. As much as I wanted to leave I also could not leave her there with a maniac. I knew he would kill her before I could reach help, I knew.

" I will not leave you here alone!" I screamed/whispered back to her. 

She was going to say something back to me but before she could father took his hands off his head and pointed the gun directly at me. 

I could feel the terror creeping around on my insides. Eating me from the inside.

" Get up. Now." Father commanded through back eyes. A bloodcurdling smile crossed his face. I stood.

"Now take off your shirt." He said with an even more harsh tone. 

What? why? Then it hit me and I could not control the sour tears that started flooding down my cheeks and then slowly falling to the floor. Mothers face was filled with shock, horror. 

I knew I had no choice other than get the gun.

 My body moved without realization and soon enough I was within a foot of father. Now the advantage of surprise was on my side as I ran toward him ready to grab the gun. I was within inches of grabbing the weapon when I was violently slammed onto the wood flooring. Father was on top of me with his hands around my neck. Mother was still in shock by my sudden movement that she had sat in the chair with the same look of horror in her face. Lily caught on much quicker. My body ached and blood had poured into my mouth. I was chocking on my own blood. I started to thrash around punching and kicking with all my might.

  Lily stood not knowing what to do, obviously she could not take on father since he was much bigger and stronger. I started to feel dizzy and was losing my fight. The gun. where was it? I knew I would have felt the cold metal against my bare neck if he still had it in his hands. In fact in the struggle he had dropped it while he was taking my down. When my eyes met with Lilys I knew that she had the same thought. Frantically she started scurrying around us. Father was still concentrating on my throat and did not notice her sudden movement and urgency thank god. My hearing went first and then my vision started to blur. Before I blacked out I saw Lily with  the gun and it was pointed at me.  

The next day I woke up in the hospital with bright lights, bleeping noises, and an I.V in my arm. The nurses had informed me that I had a bruised neck, several ribs had been broken, and that my father was in prison.
