Hiding

Hiding behind that couch.
He sees it all play out.
They start fighting then dad hits mom.
Why does he hit her?
Will she be in the hospital again or just a sling?
He has hid behind the couch for all his life?
Why?
Why does he not stand up for her?
Why doesn't he?
He will he knows he needs to, his mom bleeding bad now.
Hey cut it out
Huh.
Dad stops in mid swing.
Leave her alone your really hurting her!
Stay out of it.
He grabs the phone.
911 emergency the lady says.
How can she be so calm?
Blue red blue red blue red, the lights flash.
Mom is carried out of the house.
As he climbs into the ambulance dad gives him a look.
His blood runs cold.
His mom is safe but is he?
