I got up and crack da door

They're by the stairs

R: What about me?

GD: U have a daughter and a husband

R: So? That doesn't mean I don't need u.

Her voice sounded different

He cupped her shoulders

His face changed

Like he got caught

She cried harder

I called my dad.

E: Now there's a hole in the wall and she's still crying. Idk what 2 do.

D: I'm on my way. Stay where u are.

E: Ok. Please hurry.

E: [Oh mommy.]

I felt so helpless.

Watching her dad leaving hurt her

Seeing HER hurt impacts me.

Does he even know that it's her birthday?
