Chapter 5
The rest of the night was pretty slow for the team. The only other call they had was for a broken ankle in the park. The teens loaded the patient up and took him to the hospital and then returned to the station.
"Man I'm beat!" Jamie thought to himself as he sat with the other teens on the sofa watching a movie, "I think I'll crash on the bunk for a little bit." He said to the other guys
"Are you okay man?" asked a concerned Hank, "Cause we can put you on the DL"
"Yeah, I'm cool. Just tired." And with that Jamie made his way over to the bunks. He really didn't want to sleep because he knew that he was going to be plagued with nightmares but he couldn't keep his eyes open. So with a defeated sigh Jamie laid down and was asleep within minutes.
He heard the door slam shut and automatically knew what was going to come. His father was home. He ran into his room and shut his door. It wasn't that long before the screaming started. Then the sickening slap as flesh connected with flesh. He put his hands over his ears to block out the noise but he could still hear it.
There was another slap then a loud crash and the sound of glass breaking. He squeezed his eyes shut willing his imagination to take him far far away from this nightmare. He heard the sound of foot steps in the hall. As every footstep neared his bedroom his heart sped up. He knew what was a bout to come. He had to prepare himself because if he cried he only got it worse.
The sound of a jiggling doorknob took his attention. He watched in fear as the door slowly open revealing his drunk raged father. Before he knew what was happening his father had his arm.
"No, please NO!!"
And then everything went black
