Ryker
10 years old
Dad has been pacing back and forth, his screams have filled up the
hallways. Raiden has been making sure to keep me by him. I don’t know
what is going on, but I can tell that something is wrong with dad again.
Dad has been so angry. Mom says that it’s our family curse, whatever
that means. It is our family’s curse for the men to be violent and angry.
Raiden tightens his hold on me as we both wiggle deeper into the closet.
Mom warned us. She said it was probably best for us to stay out of sight.
So, Raiden took me in here and we have just been listening. Mom told us
both to be quiet, so that’s what we have been doing.
I used to love this closet, but now it scares me. There are a lot of things
that I used to love that scare me now. We have been spending more time in
this closet than we do outside or in our actual rooms. Raiden says it’s
because this closet is safer. Kids my age shouldn’t know any of this, but I’m
not stupid. I know that our family is different, that dad is different.
Everyone thinks that I’m just some little kid that doesn’t know, but I
know. I hear and see everything. Even the things they don’t want me to see
or hear.
“Raiden what is going on?” I whisper to my brother, hating the silence.
“I don’t know Ryker, but we need to stay here, okay?” Raiden says. His
voice is low as he tightens his arms around me.
“What about mom?” I ask. My heart is starting to race thinking about her
being out there instead of in here with us. She used to come in here with us,
but lately she has been telling us to hide in here by ourselves. I don’t like
her being out there. I don’t like not knowing what’s going on.
“She will be okay,” Raiden tries to tell me, but I don’t believe him. He
doesn’t know that. And I can tell he doesn’t even believe his own words.
We are both scared, but my brother would never admit it unless I push him
too, and right now is not the time to do that.
He cries in his room at night when he thinks I can’t hear him. Raiden and
I both are becoming more and more quiet. The laughter and joking around
has gone down this last year, and I have a feeling it will continue to go
down. It makes me sad.
“He’s yelling again,” I whisper. Raiden tightens his arm around me.
Mom says we need to do whatever dad says to make him happy, and we try,
we really do try. But nothing seems to make him happy lately. Nothing
except for when he isn’t here with us.
