Adam: Okay.

Amy: Now get out!

Narrator: Adam walks out of his daughter's room.

Adam: She isn't going to talk to you.

Carolina: Oh yes she is.

Adam: How are you going to make her?

Carolina: I have my ways.

Adam: Don't even go into her room.

Carolina: I know.

Adam: Please do not go in their.

Carolina: Fine I won't.

Adam: Thank you.

Narrator: Johnny and Amy were talking in the other room. Amy was pacing around the room.

Johnny: Why won't you talk to your Mom?

Amy: Johnny, I don't want to face her right now.

Johnny: You know it's okay to be upset. It's not okay that you are isolating yourself from her. I think your Mom needs you.

Amy: I don't think she needs anyone. She can deal with it herself. She used to have to when she was abused as a child and teenager.

Johnny: Good thing you aren't abused though right?

Amy: I know she doesn't abuse me.

Johnny: Do you think she will start?

Amy: I don't know.

Johnny: I know you will run out if you do.

Amy: I know I will and you will probably follow me out.

Johnny: You're right I wouldn't let you deal with that alone.

Amy: I know.

Johnny: Why was she abused?

Amy: Her mother was a drunk and she beat the crap out of her when she was growing up.

Johnny: That stinks.

Amy: You must be glad your mother or father beats you.

Johnny: I am I don't know what I would do.

Amy: Would you run or would you come to me?

Johnny: I'd probably come to you.

Amy: You can always believe that I will help you.

Johnny: I do. I'm going to go downstairs to get some sleep.

Amy: Alright it is going to be one.

Johnny: Yes, I'm tired from school. I'm glad it isn't a school night.

Amy: Me too well good night.

Narrator: Johnny went downstairs and Carolina went into Amy's room without Adam knowing. Adam was sleeping in their bedroom. Amy turned around and saw her mother come in the room.

Amy: What do you want?

Carolina: I need to talk to you.

Amy: I don't want to talk to you.

Carolina: Well you are going to.

Amy: I don't want to talk about what happened.

Carolina: Honey, please.

Amy: No and that is final.

Narrator: Her mother raised her fist and she stroke Amy with all her might. Amy had tears running down her face. She ran down the stairs and outside. Johnny was fast asleep on the couch and did not hear the door slam. Adam woke up for a glass of water and he found that his wife was not in the bed. He got up and found her in Amy's room.

Adam: What are you doing?

Carolina: I tried to talk to Amy calmly.

Adam: Where is she?

Carolina: She ran out of the house.

Adam: What?!

Carolina: I hit her.

Adam: You did what?

Carolina: I hit her.

Adam: Why?

Carolina: All the anger that was coming out made me hit her.

Adam: What if she doesn't come back? Did you think of that?

Carolina: I didn't know I was going to hit her, Adam.

Adam: You are just like your mother except you don't drink.

Carolina: I am not like my Mother.

Adam: You just hit your child really hard.

Carolina: I didn't mean to do it.

Adam: I don't believe you.

Carolina: Please believe me.

Adam: Where is Johnny?

Carolina: I don't know.

Adam: He might be downstairs then.
