Mark started to get angry, he was shoving and pointing at my Mum in her face. I went over to her side and asked her what was going on. Next thing I know Mum, Jess, Josh and I were running for our lives, Mark stumbling behind us, yelling and determined to hurt my Mum. She hurried us into the room, her voice holding a sense of urgency I hadn't heard before. The lock clicked behind us as we ran to hide behind a bed. Defening quiet surrounded us as we heard Mark approach the door. In one foul movement, the door flew off its hinges, breaking the lock and causing a crash to fill the quiet of our breathing. Everyone holding their breath, to terrified to move. My Mum jumped up and had the courage to fight him and block his path to us. Jess and Josh pulled me from the ground screaming "RUN!" while Mum gave us enough time to get out. Soon after we sprinted out of the room, Mum came stumbling out, crying with a bloody nose.
RUN!!
I cried and ran into her arms where she picked me up and we ran to security. I remember how scared and confused I was. I remember how much pride I had in my mother for standing up for us and the love she showed kids who weren’t her own. We ran into security and I looked back seeing 4 people holding Mark back, trying to get him under control. That night, we didn’t sleep a wink, all of us to scared he would come back for us.
The next morning when we left, Mark was there crying and begging for forgiveness from my Mum and his kids in the outside foyer where the cars were waiting. Jess and Josh hid in one of those cars, to scared to look at him. My Mum had a weary face looking down at him which soon turned to anger. She’d seen this before with my Dad and I could tell she was not putting up with this again. She turned around and headed to the car, calling me to her. I ran over to her with one final glance back at a broken man on the floor. I never saw him again.
