Sleeping with Danger

"Listen... I’m sorry that I’m late. What do you want me to do?"

"I told you to come home early and you didn’t" Asher screamed.

"I’m sorry... I’m so sorry..." Melissa said...

"No, it’s too late for that..." Asher said.

"Please don’t hurt me... I beg of you, Asher"

Asher kept on screaming and smacking Melissa until she blood came from her face...Asher left her then crying and bleeding.

He saw his daughter outside looking sad...

"You came back from school today, why is that?"

"None of your business..."

"Don’t talk me like that. I’m your father..."

"You don’t act like a father," Lulu said.

"Hmm, we’ll see..."

Lulu ran to her mother’s room quickly...

"Mommy... Mommy" She said.

"Hello sweetie... How are you?"

"I hate when you guys fight... Don’t fight, okay?"

"Okay, sweetie... Listen, were going to grandma’s house.

Get ready, honey" Beth said.

"Okay, mommy"

Later at grandma’s house...

"Did he hit you?" Michelle said.

"Um... Lulu go and watch TV with grandpa"

"Yes, mommy"

"Yes, I just don’t know what to do... I sometimes think that it’s my fault... Tell me what did I do wrong?"

"It’s not your fault, Beth. Asher is crazed... He needs to see a psychiatrist, am I right, Sally?"

"Yes, she’s right...Asher does need to see a psychiatrist..."

"I’ll try to talk to a psychiatrist or someone that will help me control Asher"

The next day...

Michelle arrived to Beth’s house a little bit early to pick up Lulu. She had the keys to Beth’s house...

So, she just went in... She heard Beth and Asher fighting with each other. Suddenly, it was silent... Asher came downstairs madly. "Oh! Hello Michelle, what brings you here today?"

Michelle just ignored him and went upstairs to Beth...

"Hey, I’m talking to you..."

Michelle just went in the room, and saw Beth crying loudly.

"Are you okay, Beth? I’m so worried about you... The next thing he might do is just kill you"

"Don’t worry... He won’t do it cause he loves me..."

"He loves you?"

"Yes... I know he hurts me a lot but he is just not normal"

"Whatever you say... Where is Lulu?"

"Oh, she is in her room drawing and coloring"

"Okay, take care of yourself"

"Thanks, you too..."

Later on...

Asher came home screaming and shouting...

"What’s wrong?"

"Your sister ignored me today, and do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Of course, you told her all the bad thing about me and etc"

"Yes, I did..."

Asher started breaking bowls and plates...

"Stop it... I said, stop it"

"No, I won’t stop..."

"I want you to clean all this crap... Is that understood?" Asher screamed.

"Yea... I’m used to this"

"What did you say?" Asher asked.

"Nothing..."

"I’m going out with Andrew... When I come home, make sure that you cleaned everything"
