Brave as hell

“Yes?” I asked.
She seemed so lost for wrods, but then, it spilled, all of the things that happened at her house, I heard every single one the thing that she mother and father said to her. I felt an unshakeable anger inside of me. I leaned towards her until we were both laying on top of each other.
“I’m so sorry Ashley,” I kissed her. “But I can’t let this happen to you.”
Then I was gone, I was sprinting towards her house. I knocked on the front door, her parents answered. I turned to her dad.
“Hey, I’m your daughter’s boyfriend, whats up?”
“You little bastard, you-”
I wouldn’t let him say anymore, I punched him square in the face. I stood there waiting for something to happen. Then it did, her mom slapped me across my face and her dad got back up, and punched me back. I was on the ground, right near the front door, I was bleeding from the nose and a little from the mouth. Ashley was near by.
“TOM!” She screamed.
It was probably a bad idea, but it was as brave as hell for me to do that.
