"I told you not go outside!" He screams at my face. His breath smells like beer and cigarettes. I can't help but flinch at the smell. I close my eyes hoping he will just disappear. 

"I'm sorry.." Before I can finish, he interrupts me again. 

"What if they saw the marks on you, huh?!? You want me to be taken away!" He yells. I can see the veins in his forehead stick out. Oh no, this is how I can tell he is really angry. I prepare myself for what will happen next.

He snatches his beer from the counter and takes a sip as he pulls out the belt from the drawer. I start to sob, then all the tears flow out of me like I have been holding all the tears in for years. 

"SHUT UP!" He raises the belt above his head. I look down at my hands.
