Dear Billy,

It's 2 in the morning and I can't sleep. Mom and Dad are screaming at each other. Mel and Nolan are in my bed crying. They always get scared when Mom and Dad fight.

Dad's threatening to leave. But he does all the time and he's still here so I doubt he will really leave. Mom just told him to go and never come back, that she was stupid for ever getting back together with him again. He's kicking my bedroom door. He wants me to come out and I said no so he's

I went out like he wanted and he asked me if I wanted him to stay or if I wanted him to leave and I couldn't answer because I don't know. So he sent me back to bed.

The door just slammed.

He's gone.

All I can hear is Mom crying and Mel crying and Nolan crying. I thought someone was screaming but it's me.

I'm crying too.

Sorry the paper is all messed up. Tears do that. I hope he comes back tomorrow. Mom is not in her right mind when she's alone.

I don't feel safe anymore when Dad is here. Just mad and scared of what he'll do or say next.

From yours truly,

Edie
