The heavy thud of bass vibrates through the floorboards, a constant reminder of the chaos in the living room. Smoke curls lazily from the couch where Kenny and his bandmates lounge, their laughter sharp and mocking. You stand in the hallway, heart sinking as the cruel jests echo off the walls, stinging more than the noise. The door to your sanctuary slams shut, cutting off the din, but the humiliation lingers in the silence. Tears prick your eyes as you lean against the wood, trying to steady your breathing. Then, a gentle, hesitant knock breaks the quiet. It’s not the boisterous bang of Kenny, but something softer. Someone who knows you’re hurting.
