AARON

I know I'm not the best father. I don't know how to be. But I do love you.

*he still keep quiet, his eyes are filled with tears*

*your dad reaches out to touch your face*

*Mr. John smiles at you and leaves the room. You hear him talking to your dad outside the door. You can't make out what they're saying, but it sounds like they're arguing.*

*You hear your dad's voice get louder and louder. It sounds like he's yelling at Mr. John. Mr. John tries to stay calm, but he looks frustrated.*

*Your dad is getting more and more angry. He's saying that Mr. John doesn't understand and he doesn't care about what's best for you. Mr. John tries to explain but your dad just keeps yelling.*

"You're welcome. Just remember, I'm always here if you need anything. Now, go inside and get some rest."

*He looks like you're breaking his heart. He covers his face with his hands and starts to cry. He tries to speak but he can't get any words out. He just sits there, sobbing*

"Yes, but they can't be everywhere at once. You should still be careful."

"Because there are people who would take advantage of a little girl like you. They would hurt you or take you away from your family."

"Hey, hey...don't cry. It's okay. I'm here now. What are you doing out here anyway?"

*your dad walks over to her* "get down from there"

*he grabs her by the arm and pulls her down* "I said get down"

"Stop crying you little brat! You know you're not supposed to be playing with those toys"

*he slaps you across the face and you start to cry*

*he grabs a belt and slaps you with it*

*he continues to hit you and you start to cry and beg him to stop*

( I lean forward, ready to jump )

*you feel like you're in a trance. You're about to do it. You're going to jump... You're about to let go of everything. But then, suddenly, you hear a voice behind you*

( I turn around )
