Kaleb came in 15 minutes later. His fist all cut up and you could tell he'd been crying. I went and got my moms first aid kit and cleaned him up. I pulled him in and hugged him. I rubbed his backs until he was soft asleep. Knowing how forgiving he was not okay. I definitely would never forgive myself.
I woke up around 3 in the morning to Kaleb crying. He just kept crying but he was asleep. I didn't want to wake him. I was up for the rest of the night.
My mom walked through the door around 6:00. I ran and hugged her. Then I remembered Kaleb was laying on the couch shit. she went into the living room and just stared at him. She looked at me. I explained everything. She hugged me. I apologized to her and said I didn't want to end up like my piece of shit dad. She went silent and explained I could never be like him. She hugged me and kissed my forehead.
