Miles looked down at the carpet now. There was blood where he’d fallen, drops of blood. And there were drops of blood near his feet. One fell while he was watching, then he heard Dad slump back down on the couch. Everything stopped and was quiet and even Jeff was sitting down now.

Miles grabbed Harry and they moved into the bedroom. He didn’t have to ask Harry to do anything, he was already changing his t-shirt and had his shoes on.

‘I’ve got your jacket,’ he whispered to Harry, and Harry grabbed some things from under his bed.

It was still quiet in the lounge. Miles climbed out the window then helped Harry down. They started to run, not down the drive, but straight into the thick scrub at the back of the house. Then they heard Dad yelling from inside. Yelling at them, at everyone. Yelling at no one. And Miles could hear the words. They came through the brown walls, through the air and cracked open the night: ‘I never wanted you.’
