She wakes up. Knocks softly on her older brother's door. Asking if she may sleep with him. There is thunder outside, and she's scared. He tells her to go away, and to leave him alone. She creeps silently downstairs, to her mother's room. Say's, "Mommy may I sleep with you?" Her mum tells her to go back to sleep. She quietly goes  back up the stairs to her room. Closes the door and hides in the closet. Listens to the thunder and lightning crackle within the night sky. Shy cries wanted to be held. Her demons laugh at her calling her a cry baby, wimp. She cries harder and  harder. The storm outside shielding her screams. She falls asleep in her closet. Wakes up to her demons still laughing.
