Miguel walked into the house and didn't smell the aroma of his mother's cooking.
He didn't hear her humming as she cleaned, or his siblings playing loudly and running through the house.
He stood at the door and listened for anything, any noise at all.
He could not escape the feeling that something was wrong.
He stood quietly and listened.
Finally, he heard a plea in the kitchen, a small voice too afraid to speak louder because of what might happen if she did.
Miguel knew that it was his mother and that she was in danger.
He slowly moved toward the sound, his body against the cold concrete walls of his home.
He knew he needed to not make a sound if he wanted to help his family.
When he finally rounded the corner, the sight was horrifying.
There, backed into the corner of the kitchen, was his mother crouched on the floor, cradling all seven of his brothers and sisters as they shook in horror.
She was silently pleading as tears fell from her cheeks, her face wet, her dark hair sticky with blood and matted to her face.
He saw the pan and what looked like oil and rice covering her bare feet.
What he would remember most from that day was the terror in her eyes and plea from her lips to this man who stood over her with so much anger.
She pleaded for him to leave the kids out of it, just leave her babies alone.
She never understood why he did this to her.
Miguel felt so much pain and anger in that moment that it blinded him, and his bravery took over.
He immediately grabbed the only thing close, a butcher knife, and pointed it at the man who stood so tall and controlling over his mother-his father.
He swung and attacked until his dad gave up and ran out the back open wall of the house.
Miguel chased after him and screamed, Don't you ever come back here We don't need you I am the man of this house now, and you are not welcome here From that moment on, he vowed to take care of his family, even if that meant leaving his home country and going to the United States of America.
