15 Dec
Its past 2 am and I she finally hears the front door creep open, an unsettling feeling replaced her comfortable sense of safety. She checks on the baby before she walks down the stairs. As she heads down the stairs she is trying not to make noise so he will not hear her. She finally reaches the bottom of the stair way and sees a trail of boot prints made with blood on there white carpet.
The first thing that pops into her head is “I’ll be having a hard time getting that out tomorrow”. She follows the prints into the kitchen were he is washing his hands, the water is red and his clothing splattered with blood. He finally sees her standing in the door way and demands that she started the washing machine. She does not ask him what happened, why he is covered in blood; for she already knows that he probably lost his temper when he was out drinking with his buddies and bashed some poor guys head open. After she is finished soaking the clothing in oxy clean and puts them in the wash, he throws his shoes at her that were white at one point but now is more of a pink read color. With out hesitation she goes under the sink to get a magic eraser, from her experience she has found that this gets the blood stains off white shoes the best. Before heading up to bed she sprays the bloody boot prints.
Tossing and turning trying to find a commutable spot on an old blow up mattress on the floor of the baby’s room. She chooses to sleep here instead of the queen size bed that is only a glance away for she can be safe from harm and make sure he is safe. She knows how the baby breaths and wakes up the second it sounds off. You see the poor little 2 month old baby has been in and out of the hospital. He was born almost two months early due to an altercation between her and the husband. Now she is at the hospital at least once a month with the baby. She is so excited when she finds a commutable spot on the mattress she almost moves and loses it. Now all she has to do is calm her self and her mind so she can get at least 3 hours of sleep tonight.
