You should have busted a house window out. Your neighbor could have pulled you in. I'm not very friendly, but I would have yanked you in and let you sit by the door till we could get you home. Though, if that thing came to my house and it was between you and my kids, then yes, I'd push you back out the door. I will put my own kids before others though certainly it shouldn't have come to that inside with the lights. Your father and mother though should have gone to your friends parents house to give them a beating in the morning. And the small town cops should have allowed it. They were responsible for you regardless and the mom needed a gun, taser or cattle prod to keep the drunk abuser under control in such a situation. Your father really should have let the dad have it and honestly even though mom was getting beat, she could have hid you somewhere till it was safe. Better for you to get roughed up a little by friends crazy dad than eaten alive outside by a monster.
