Please, no more Craig. No more. Just leave her, please. I will do anything you say. Just please stop hurting her... That is all I can hear from my mum shouting at Craig to stop hitting me. He has been hitting me now for a few hours, and he hasn't stopped once. I got in the way of him hitting my mum. I made sure to protect her. He only hit her once, and when I got in the way of both of them, he then took to hitting me and calling me names. I bet you're wondering how this all started. Well, I will tell you... 3 hours earlier...
After me and mum had finished cleaning the house after the party, me and mum were sat on the couch in the living room, just talking and watching a movie before we went to bed. We sometimes did this most nights, well, the nights we weren't abused by him. This night, I feel like something was going to happen, and I was right. About an hour after me and mum had done everything, and when we were halfway through watching the movie, Craig came into the living room and asked, "What the hell are you two doing and why are you watching a movie? You still have things to do." But we had done everything in the house, but to him, no, we still had more. So mum said to him, "What do you need us to do now?"'
