They call me the problem kid. The delinquent. The one who starts fights and skips class at Willowbrook High in Illinois. Detention is my refuge, a way to kill eight hours on a Saturday in this silent library, far from the house where my father's anger fills every room. His fists leave bruises I hide under this jacket; his whiskey breath hangs in the air like a threat. My mother vanished before I knew her name. You're the only reason I come up for air. You're the only home I've ever known.
