I was surprised that Uncle Rob wasn't upset. I wasn't just surprised I was relieved I thought he would at most hit me. Uncle Rob told me to not wait up for him, so I went to bed before him. I woke up a couple of hours later to what sounded like glass shattering. I slowly walked downstairs and headed to the kitchen. When I got there, I peeked my head around the corner and saw uncle knocked out on the floor. I rushed to see if he was alright. He was still breathing so I dragged him to the couch and laid him down. As I walked away, he pulled my hair and dragged me across the floor. "you bitch you always give problems!". He threw me against the wall, and I pleaded that he let me go. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, please let me go, please!". He went quiet for a moment. "you expect me to believe your bullshit lies! Some disgusting person should've adopted you! No, you should've been sent to rot in hell with your parents!". after he said that I bit his arm pushed him off me and fled to the bathroom and locked the door. He ran after me and pounded on the door for thirty minutes. Even after things calmed down, I stayed in the bathroom, and before I fell asleep, I remembered what mom always said to me at bedtime. I closed my eyes and sobbed as I said aloud. "Tomorrow is another day.". I woke up the next morning on the bathroom floor. I stood up and slowly unlocked the door and slowly made my way downstairs I saw uncle rob sitting in the living room. "Good morning Uncle Rob.". he looked at me smiled then said." I got breakfast. It's on the table.". I was glad he wasn't mad. He seemed normal again I could relax a bit. I ate breakfast and started to clean as I did almost every day the Uncle Rob came from behind me and put a necklace on me."What's this?"."its a necklace as an apology. I'm sorry about last night I was out of hand I shouldn't have said that about your parents. I know I promised I wouldn't hurt you again but I was stressed out because of work."." its all right uncle I understand. I guess me hitting that girl just pushed you over the edge. Also, thank you for the necklace it's beautiful.". That night I was able to sleep peacefully. I was happy Uncle Rob apologized. It meant that he wouldn' bother me as much when I messed up, but I knew that was only for a little while. So I would have to try harder to be good so uncle won't stress out. The next few days were uneventful because I was home. All I did was clean and wait for uncle to come back, so I had someone to talk to. I wasn't ready to go back to school because I already knew what was going to happen to me but, maybe Jamie will stop messing with me. I have to remember tomorrow is another day.
