“Sharon,” Daddy screams as the baseball bat comes swinging at him, but he ducks out of the way.

I’m in the corner trying to nurse Nova’s broken nose. The blood keeps coming and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. I keep an eye on Sharon and Daddy as they battle it out a few feet from us. Well, she’s battling, while Daddy is trying to protect us. I never understood why Daddy just never slugged her back to knock her down a few notches, but he never raised a hand to her. Only in self-defense.

“Enough.” Daddy orders, but Sharon’s eyes are in crazy mode. She’s not going to back down until all three of us are hurt.

“Your stupid fucking daughter is a bitch. I am going to break her jaw.” Sharon seethes.

“She broke a dish, Sharon. I’ll buy another one.” Daddy tries to reason with her.

It had been my turn to do the dishes, and I was rushing because I only have fifteen minutes to get it done, according to Crazy Sharon’s time schedule bullshit. The plate slipped from my hand and fell, smashing onto the floor. Nova tried to explain that to her, but Sharon clocked her in the nose. That’s when Daddy came in.

“I hate those girls. I hate them more than I hate you. I am going to kill them someday because they’ve ruined my life.” Sharon continues to yell. It’s nothing new to me to hear her about hating or killing us. It’s practically the one memory I have of her constantly saying those things to me and Nova.

“Coach?” Hamilton’s voice calls from the living room and Sharon freezes mid-swing toward Daddy.

“Get out of my house!” Sharon bellows as loud as she can. “No one is allowed in my house.”

Hamilton’s face is full of confusion as he walks in and takes in the scene. Suddenly, as if he’s pieced all of it together, he stares at Daddy.

“Take the girls out of here, Hamilton. I’ll come get them later.” Daddy orders.

“They’re evil fucking idiots. I hate those fucking girls. One’s so fat she can’t fit into any clothes and your daughter is so stupid. She’s stupid.” Sharon swings the bat, cracking the kitchen table almost in half.

Daddy lunges for Sharon and holds her arms down. She’s fighting him hard. “Get the girls!” Daddy keeps yelling at Hamilton.

Hamilton grabs Nova and picks her up as if she were a small child and grabs my hand. He rushes us out to his truck and gets us both inside. He speeds away from our house, and I hold Nova in my arms trying to calm down her hysterics. When we get us to his place, he leads us both inside.

“I have a first aid kit,” Hamilton says as he leaves us in the kitchen, holding onto each other. A moment later he comes back. “Here.” He takes Nova gently by the arm and helps her onto one of the barstools at the breakfast bar. He opens the box and begins to clean and patch up Nova.
