You remember Claire? The girl who was abused by her dad?"
"Yeah. Did your dad do that to you?" Shawn nodded. " Oh my god! He's an alcoholic isn't he?"
"Yeah he is."
"Shawn, you have to tell some one about this. Look, why don't come and spend the night at Cory's or at my place? You won't be abused or hurt in anyway."
" No thanks Topanga. I can handle it. I have before."
"Shawn, you can't handle it! He's going to continue the abuse until you're on your knees!"
"Topanga, I'm already on my knees. He's won. There's nothing I can do now except take his blows." The school bell rang and every one took their seats. "Alright class take out yesterday's lesson and finish what you haven't done for the past week. I assume most of you have finish half through."
"Mr. Finny, I think I would like to take a break from class today."
" Well, I'm afraid I can't do that Shawn. If you have a note, then it might be possible to consider. But for now, could you take your seat?"
"Sure Mr. Finny." Shawn was afraid. He didn't know what to do if he came home late.
"Yeah. Did your dad do that to you?" Shawn nodded. " Oh my god! He's an alcoholic isn't he?"
"Yeah he is."
