So [i]this[/i] was why Sarah didn't want Mark over. He could hear his voice and repetitive cursing, as well as the slap that echoed throughout the house. Why was she still with him? Maybe it was because she wasn't strong enough to stay away from him. Simon wanted to jump in there and beat Mark to a pulp, but Simon couldn't do that. He wasn't strong in any sense of the word. Fast he might be, but it wouldn't help in this. Rage and hate filled up Simon as he listened, and he wanted to hurt him so badly, but he just couldn't. It he were to act, then Sarah might get treated even worse that she is now, so he did his best to stay calm. Slowly and quietly, Simon snuck around to the frond of the house and made sure to stay away from windows. He undid the zipper on his jacket and took it off. He was currently waiting at the front door for Mark to walk out, so that he could strangle the man for what he did to Sara.
