On My Own

Nobody has time for this

MARIA'S POV~

The doorbell rang.

"I got it!" Michelle shouted, bolting towards the door.

"Ok!" I yelled back as she greeted whoever was standing there.

I walked to the bedroom door's archway. Amanda looked up at me, staring blatantly at me.

"Shh....." I whisper putting a finger up to my mouth.

"What Do YOU want?" Michelle asked. I couldn't see who was at the door, she cracked the door halfway. It seemed like she didn't want to invite the person in.

"I'm here to see my daughter." The deep, raspy voice sent chills up my spine.

No....it was Jason. He was drunk.

"Look Jason, nobody has time for this. Go home." She tried shutting the door but he stuck his foot in between the door and the wall.

"Move."

He pushed past her, coming towards me and Amanda.

"Hey baby!" He said trying to slip Amanda out of my arms.

"No. Get away from her! Your obviously drunk."

"Shut the F*** up and give me the child." He spat out.

"She has a name and no. I told you go leave us alone."

He snarled.

"I told you to stay with me. You hung up on me and you've disrespected me three times. "

His hand flew across my face, slapping me hard.

Amanda began hysterically crying.

I reached up to touch the side of my face. Tears threatening to spill out at any moment.

Michelle ran up to me. She threw her arm around me, then she glanced up at Jason.

"You don't deserve either of them. Your nothing but an abusive person and you will never NEVER be a dad. Now get out my house before I call the cops."

He shrugged. Mumbling names under his breath.

The door slammed behind him. I fell to the floor, back against the hallway walls. Amanda continues to cry as well, I wrap my arms around her.

"It's ok. He's gone now." Michelle say beside me, taking my phone out of my pocket.

"What are you doing?" I asked using my sleeve to wipe eyes to watch her.

She put the phone against her ear and waits as it rings.

"Hello, is this Harry?"
