These last few days have not been fun.

Mom and Don have moved back in and kicked dad out. And if that's not bad enough Sadie's gone to college.

Even worse, everytime mom goes out without Don, he hits me.

And i'm too scared to tell anyone.

It hurts.

I cover the bruises up. Even when it's 70˚F outside, I wear long-sleeved jumpers.

I try to avoid Don as much as possible but he always finds me.

It gets worse everytime.

It used to be slaps, then it turned to punches.

Now he does both, and sometimes he throws things at me.

My guitar was trashed.

He trashed it.

He said that he can't stand my music.

You want to know how my guitar got trashed?

That's right, he threw it at me.

All I can say is that I'm glad it wasn't the electric. Sure the wooden acoustic hurt but a metal electric would have been even worse.

I've started going into the studio less and less.

Tommy calls, but I can't pick up. He leaves messages. He says he's worried.

I have to admit, so am I.

I want to tell someone. Anyone. But I can't.

I'm scared of what would happen.

If Don found out he might…

…I don't want to think about it.
