I held on to paperΒ Β bags just in case she would hyper -ventilate part of me wanted to smack her when she did I held on to his hands just in-case he had the urge to punch a hole through another wall we couldn't afford to fix those bruises the kind that never heal and broken knuckles are no price to pay but I gathered some certainty in his closed balled up fists because his anger meant more than his shut eyes and gritted teeth Like chewing glass loosen the screws that held his jaw shut tight and I promise not to tell you its okay but it really is at some point we all hate those words and she should just chill out and breathe because people get sick but they don't always die there's no certainty in that but still it will be ok
