Waking up with a hangover on a Monday morning is not a good feeling. At all.
I groan climbing out of bed. I walk in the bathroom and look myself in the mirror. Wow, I look like how I feel, shitty. I splash a handful of water on my face hoping this will make me feel alive again but it didn't.
"Onika! Bring your ass down here now!" My father yell from downstairs.
I roll my eyes and grab a cloth drying off my face. I slowly walk downstairs to see my father seething with anger.
Not today.
"Yes?"
He stood from his chair and walk towards me. "Why the fuck my vodka has been replaced with water?" He grab the bottle that I indeed filled with water.
I gulp. I scratch the back of my head wondering if to play clueless or admit to my action.
"I'm sor-" I quickly got cut off by a slap to my face. I tried my best to hold in my anger but the aching pain in my head wasn't helping.
"You're my biggest fucking mistake!" He shouts this time pushing me back roughly that I almost lost my balance.
I chuckle looking up to him "I am?" I laugh out loud "No, that can't be true. I think your biggest fucking mistake was letting Jelani choose your life over his!" I shout pushing my father back.
His eyes grew in surprise at my sudden outburst.
"You think you're grown huh?" He tackle me to the floor and send hits after hits to my face but instead of just sitting there like I would normally do, I decided that I had enough of this physcotic asshole.
I push him off of me and switch our positions so that I was now on top of him. I send a hit to his face and after that hit came many more. This was all my built up anger and I low key didn't feel bad that he was the one receiving it.
"You-fucking-asshole!" I shout between hits. I felt tears in my eyes watching my father go in and out of conscious. I grab the collar of his shirt and made him look at me. His face was barely recognizable.
"You've been abusing me since I was 10! 10! Can you imagine how fucked up I must be because of you?" He tried talking but I quickly shut him up. "Don't" I shook my head and got off of him.
I look back at his barely conscious body and didn't feel a thing.
He had this coming sooner or later.
I walk up the stairs and get ready for school then walk back downstairs to see my father still on the ground.
I took my new car keys off the counter and jiggle it in front of him "world's best fucking dad" I say dramatically.

"Damn son, this you?" Ty asks running his finger across my new corvette.
I place my sunglasses on to hide how shitty I actually look. I grab my bag and started walking inside leaving Ty to admire my car alone.
"No shades are allowed while inside the school" I heard a voice of authority say.
I look back so fast ready to curse whoever said that shit but that thought immediately stopped when I realised it was Beyoncé .
I let out a sigh "Why must you be this aggravating early in the morning?" I cross my arms watching her.
She lowered her eyes and mimic my action "Excuse you?" She place her hand on her hip and tilt her head to the side.
