Flashback **
I remember one night I started crying cause he hit my mum "stop it leave her alone " I said , but he didn't take that lightly he chased my up the stairs and started beating me "you ungrateful little brat , why were you even born , I hate you and your stupid mother " by this point he had thrown me up against the wall "please stop" I cried but nothing worked he punched me in the stomach and dropped me and walked out the room. What I didn't notice was James had been hiding in the closet the whole time ,I was in pain I couldn't move but I went to see if he was ok anyway I said "what's wrong why are you hiding, you can come out now " I could tell he was terrified James started talking "are you ok? ,is it safe to come out yet " "of course " I reassured him , he came crawling out scared his father was going to hurt him and so was I , we had a room to share and a bed each but James preferred to sleep in my bed so I let him I picked him up and cuddled him until we both fell into a deep slumber.
I was scared for I didn't know what the next morning would hold for us. That night my mum and step-dad had a row and things were getting thrown everywhere thoughts were rushing through my head "is my mum alright ?, what has he done to her ?, will he come for me next?" By this point I was crying and I noticed I couldn't find James "James where are you!" I whispered he let out a silent whimper then I noticed he's under the bed crying. I hugged him reassuring him that everything would be ok but the truth was I didn't know anything . There was a Big Bang and then the screaming stopped, by this point I didn't know what to think .
