The bully next door

Part 21

Tayler: I'll go get the clothes, you stay right here and lock the doors.
You: no, I'm coming.
Tayler: please don't do this.
You: tay.
Tayler: you're the one that's gonna get hurt.
You: oh look, here's Nate. He can come with us.
Tayler: fine but don't leave either one of us.
Nate: don't you have school?
You: don't you?
Nate: good point, what's up?
You: my dads here...
Nate: why tf are you here rn?!
You: I'm staying with tay but I need clothes.
Nate: ok, come on.
You: really?
Nate: yes.
You: I love you guys.
Tayler: just walk straight upstairs, get what you need, and let's go.
(You go inside and see your dad sitting on the couch)
Tayler: come on baby.
Your thoughts: baby?! Why is my dad here? How did he get released? Why is Noah letting him stay here?

Nate: get your clothes, tayler and I will be at the door.
You: ok thanks guys.
Tayler: hurry tho.

Nate & Taylers conversation:
Nate: when did you finally ask her?
Tayler: what?
Nate: you called her baby.
Tayler: I would realize if I did that.
Nate: well ya did.
Tayler: funny Nate.
Nate: I'm being serious dude.
Tayler: let's just hope she didn't hear me.

You: ok, I have everything I need.
Tayler: you need 6 bags?
You: yes.
Nate: ok, let's go. I don't think her dad knows we're here with her.
You: let's keep it that way.
Dad: princess, is that you?
You: y- yes dad.
Dad: I've been as hard as a rock all day, get over here.

Hearing her dad say that made Taylers fist clench harder than they ever had, someone who was supposed to love and protect her abusing her like that.

You: dad, I have to get back to school. I just needed to get my notebook.
Dad: oh, come home a little early today so we can have some fun before your brothers get home.
You: ok dad.
Dad: I mean it. Or there will be punishments.

(He throws his belt on the ground making you jump and run out the door with Nate and Tayler right behind you)
