race against time
Desperation drove me to Jess’s apartment for one final confrontation. My thoughts spiraled, consumed by fears of what Dad might do. When I arrived, my stomach dropped—Dad’s car was already there, parked ominously outside. The situation was unraveling far too quickly. I barely had time to think. Parking in a rush, I bolted toward the building, a silent prayer on my lips, hoping to stop things before they spiraled beyond repair. The weight of dread pressed heavily on my chest.

the final confrontation
My heart thundered in my chest as I sprinted up the stairs, each step reverberating with urgency. A sinking dread clung to me—I feared I was already too late. When I reached her floor, I noticed the door was slightly ajar, a crack that hinted at something unfolding within. “Dad, please don’t do anything reckless,” I whispered, a quiet plea laced with desperation. Summoning my courage, I pushed the door open and stepped inside, bracing myself to confront whatever was waiting, silently praying I wasn’t too late to prevent the impending disaster.
