Writing Challenge - a moment

I guess I always thought Sara never had a worry in the world because she's so perfect, but she has such cruel parents.

I mean, I thought they would have protected her more. I dunno. I just can't shake it, how her father was. It was as if he'd give her up to kidnappers if he could.

How can somebody be like that?

Of course, he had nothing nice to say to me. As if I were the scum of the earth and I'd infected her somehow.

And when he hit me in my front yard, it felt as if a part of me got knocked out of my skin. At least for a second, but I knew I needed to keep fighting. Especially, for Sara.

I know now, if Sara and I were to start a family, her parents would never see the baby. Because they evidently hate people like me.

Still, I know this was all a wake-up call. I never knew how to stand my ground until now.
