ROSIE
MUM’S SCREAM WAS SO LOUD, I HEARD IT OVER MY EARPHONES, MY
audiobook drowned out by her terror. Fuck, how I ran.
Dinner plates were crashing from the draining board as I raced into the
kitchen, smashing into jagged chunks over the floor. There was Scottie,
slamming Mum into the oven as she lashed out and battled against him. She
screamed obscenities in his face until the vicious, stumpy weasel clamped his
hands around her throat.

“You’d better shut the fuck up now, Bev, you stupid, fucking bitch!”
I screamed before I charged, set to wrestle him to free my mum, but he
elbowed me away like I was a scrawny wisp, knowing I wasn’t strong
enough to stop him.
“FUCK OFF, ROSIE! KEEP OUT OF IT!”
Mum was choking, her eyes wide as she struggled, and I didn’t know what to
do. Then he slapped her and shook her and slapped her some more before he
was at it again, hands back crushing her windpipe. I was shaking too bad to
try to put a knife into him, so I bolted out of the apartment and down the
corridor to hammer at Martha’s door.
“MARTHA, IT’S ROSIE! HELP! HELP! IT’S SCOTTIE! HE’S GOT
MUM!”
I could hear the roar of the TV from her living room as I hammered. Thank
fuck she was in there.
“MARTHA, PLEASE! OPEN THE DOOR!!”
The TV went quiet, and I could hear Rolo barking. I heard her approach the
other side, but she didn’t open up for me.
“Call the police!” she shouted, but I didn’t have time.
I slammed my fists against the wood.
“MARTHA, PLEASE! HE’S CHOKING HER!”
“CALL THE FUCKING POLICE!” she screamed back.
Fuck it, she wasn’t going to open the door.
I ran to the end of the corridor, but Trisha ignored my screams, even though I
could hear Ramsay crying in her hallway.
I ran down to the floor below, but I knew nobody there would help me.
Everyone hated Scottie Barnes, and they didn’t like my mother much, either.
I was alone and petrified, and there was no way the police would show up in
time.
So, fuck it.
I grabbed hold of the handrail and ran upstairs.
Gerald and Eveline in number eight were in their 80s, and Bertie in number
seven was on crutches from a fall, so there was only one option left, and I
took it. I raced to the end of the upstairs corridor and I hammered on number
six’s door.
“PLEASE! WILL YOU HELP ME! PLEASE! I NEED HELP!!”
I prayed, still hammering, trying to scream out through my sobs, because I
was sure Scottie was so fucked up tonight that he was going to kill my mum.
