I slithered away to the bathroom. Even as a child, I found these the safest - where my rooms didn't always have locks, bathrooms did. When the door slammed my back fell against it with a thud. I quickly moved to the opposite wall - a subconscious fear brought on by horror movies told me the enemy always punched its way through doors and grabbed your ankle.
My lip was swelling, I thought. I'd pursed them so long, trying to keep from screeching back for as long as I could.
At least a punch is wordless.

It took a bit shorter for me to trudge my way to the bathroom door - and I think this says something.
I didn't want to make excuses, or tell him my reasons, or make my reasons into excuses. My knuckle tapped the bathroom door.
It took a lifetime for it to crack open.
