Ficlets

the talk

as she listened to them talking
outside of her room
she could hear kevin saying
shes not yours to take care of
shes mine
she is 18
and has told the police
that she doesnt want to see you
she has also filed a restraning order
as her mother walked into the room
she asked her daughter why she was here
and her daughter looked at her and said
because of you and dad
i tried to kill myself because
i couldnt take it anymore
the fighting the yelling
the hitting and screams
i couldnt sleep at night
i couldnt eat
you didnt see past the mask
that i put up to keep you out
so that you wouldn’t know what was going on
and that the night of the prom
when kevin brought me home
i was going to die
finally get what i always wanted
to bad for you and dad
that kevin saw past the mask
just soon enough to save my life
and show me for once
that non of this shit
was ever my fault
