I woke up to a big clatter in the kitchen. I looked in the mirror and my cheek was red and tender to the touch. I creeped down the stairs smelling bacon and eggs. How was I gonna face her after last night? When she went to the bathroom, I ate two pieces of bacon and some eggs . I was ready for her. I sat at the kitchen table, arms crossed. And frowning. "Damn Spence! You scared me!", she said, laughing as she got out of the bathroom. I was still frowning. She stare. "Look, I'm sorry about last night. I don't want you making contact with that bitch, ok?", she explained. "You didn't have to hit me.", I said holding back tears "I just need some fresh air."
