I enter the guest room with a cupcake in my hand. She was laying down on the mini sofa, staring outside the window.  The wind blowing her hair everywhere making it a big mess.

"Hey! How are you feeling?"

"Not good, I feel like taking a knife & stabbing myself."

"Don't talk like that, you don't mean it."

"I do mean it."

I sat beside her "here, I brought you a cupcake. "

She looked down at the pink cupcake that was covered in sprinkles. She grabbed it & threw it out the window.

I gasped "Hey! I spent all morning making that. I even put my love in it."

"No love is going to cure what I got going on, Liv."

"Yes, it is. When you have this baby you can go back to living your normal life. You can be Aaliyah again."

"Is that your author 's opinion or yourself opinion?"

"Both."

"Liv, Can I ask you something?"

"Yes, anything. "

"Do you think it's a good idea for me to give this baby to your father?"

Mentally, no. But physically? Hell no! God knows what he'll do that baby when it arrives. I'm even scared for it & it's not here yet.

"Its not my word to say. My dad made the decision before any of us thought about it."

"I know, but I want to hear it from your point of view."

I looked at the door, making sure my dad doesn't pop up unexceptly. I guess he's not here so I share my input.

"No, it's a bad idea."

She scoffed "I knew it."

"You did?"

"Yeah, I could tell by the way you were looking. It looked like it frightened you."

"Well, i-" i stopped myself. I can't tell her what goes on behind closed doors. I'll be in some really deep trouble.

"Well, what? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing."

"You can tell me."

"I think you should get some rest. Dad had scheduled an a appointment for you tomorrow morning. "

"Alright. "

I stood up to leave but Aaliyah stopped me. "Liv, tell me what's on your mind."

"I-i can't."

"What do you mean you can't?"

"I just can't. "

"I thought we were best friends. "

"We are."

"Then, tell me."

It wouldn't hurt to tell her a little bit. I don't think she'll freak out or nothing.

"Well, my dad has a temper."

"Everyone has a temper, Liv."

"No, I mean he has a bad temper. And not the normal kind."

"What do you mean?"

"He does some bad things when he gets bad."

"Like what?"

"Like bea-" I was cut off by foot shuffles. I turned around to see my father leaning on the door frame with his hands in his pockets. He had this blank expression on his face. How long was he there? How much did he hear?

"Beat what?"

Everything was silent

Everything was silent. I just froze in the spot I was standing in. I can't believe I was caught talking about my father. I never expect something like this to happen.

"No, go ahead. Finish your statement" he said.

Aaliyah cleared her throat "I'm gonna take a nap."

"I think that's a good idea for you, Aaliyah. Olivia? Can I speak to you downstairs?" He said.

I gulped & exited the room. My hands were shaking like crazy. I got caught red-handed talking about him. I stood by the diner table as I waited for him to come downstairs. God knows, what kind of punishment I'm getting. My cheeks started burning as i imagined that wet belt over my body. I heard his footsteps come downstairs. Of course, he didn't have a happy face.

He was by the couch holding something behind his back.
"Olivia? What were you & Aaliyah talking about?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what I just walked in a few minutes ago."

"W-we were just talking about girly things."

"That didn't sound like girly things to me, Liv. Try again."

"I-i don't know."

"You don't know?"

"No."

"Thats too bad, because I don't know if I want to choke you or beat you right now?"

Jesus, help me. He approached me with a wooden paddle in his hand. Ah, shit. He grabbed my arm & sat down on his favorite chair.

"Liv, please make this easy & do everything I tell you to do. Slide down your pants & bend over on my knee."

Tears already fell down my cheek. I slid my pants down & was about to bend over until he stopped me.

"Underwear, too" he added.

Oh god! I slowly slid down my underwear too. I bend over on his knees with my arms by my side. I sniffed & whimpered not halfway ready for this punishment.

"I'm going to spank you thirty times. If you make any sound, it will be more added."

I took a deep breath & stared outside the window. God, I just wish this can be over with. Before I knew it, I felt the hard paddle hit against my cheeks. I quickly covered my mouth as my scream came out.

"Its for the best, Liv." He whispered.
