You sit there and wait until they come home.

You hate waiting. Finally, you hear the tires coming up the driveway. You rush outside to know what happened but when they tell you your face falls.

What?

That makes no sense!

Why was he the one put in jail??

You tell them what you say and they explain some crap about it being an act to hide his abuse. Crap you know is not, at all, true. You try to fix it and ask if you can change something but neither of your parents listen.

You stand outside and just stare at the ground. You don't understand but you slowly walk up and to your room.

How could this happen??

Why did they just agree so easily after everything you said?!

You sit on your bed and wish that the man is okay. That he is safe.

This just isn't right.
