You hid in your room, sobbing heavily, almost choking on your tears. Your father was being abusive to you again. He always did this, whenever your mom would go to work, he would be horrible to you again. You didn't know how much longer you could handle it. Your mom worked as a nurse, so she worked fairly long hours. You hated that. You were happy she got to do what she loved, but...You grabbed your phone, dialing her number. You couldn't take it anymore.

"Hi, hon! What's up?"
