There was a knock on the door
as I was making dinner.
Justin
was in a little basinet
on the island
and Raylin
was playing with lego's
on the kitchen table.
I ran to get the door
not knowing who to expect.
I opened the door
and JJ's dad
pushed through
with JJ
draped over one arm.
"Holy hell,
what happened?"
I asked directing him to the couch
forgetting
about Raylin
and Justin completely.
His dad set him down
and I took a closer look at him.
there was a blossoming bruise
that covered half of his face
I realized
in a split second
who had done it
"You son of a bitch."
I said turning around
to face him
and stare him down.
"You came into my home
around my family
to bring me home
my boyfriend
that you hit
hard enough to knock out?!
How dare you!
You have no right
what so ever!"
he grabbed my collar
and pushed me up against a wall
"I have no right!?
You have no right
to take my son away from me,
to keep my grandson's away from me
to keep you away from me.
You have no right!
This is my son!"
I was rooting around
looking for something
to smash against his head
but I couldn't find anything
that wasn't anchored to the wall.
Then I thought,
my shoe,
all I needed
was to get to my shoe
which was by the door.
I looked around
and didn't see Raylin
and the baby was gone.
What the hell!
Jj was still passed out
on the couch.
I pushed with all my might
and strength
against his hold on me.
He fell backwards
onto his back
and I ran for my shoe.
I got halfway there
before
he grabbed my foot
and dragged me back to him,
with my hands outstretched
to my shoe carpet
and my body sliding backwards on the floor
I started to panic.
I got back to him
and he flipped me over putting his hands on my hips
to straighten me
and hold me down.
I had to think fast.
What do I do?
I had a gun in the bedroom
and a knife in my shoe
and a set of knives in the kitchen.
I just had to get there.
He started to unbuckle his pants....
