brenda's pov
jack never replied, he just sighed and rubbed his eyes some more. his eyes looked strained and it looked like his teeth were about to shatter from how tight he kept his jaw.
"do you want to talk?" i asked, discreetly shooing josh out of the kitchen.
he still didn't reply, so i turned to walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. right before i left the doorframe, jack grabbed my hand and kept me in my spot.
he looked at me and it was then when i saw the darkness in his eyes.
"i quit my job," he muttered.
i lightly gasped and my jaw was agape.
"what? jack...why? how?" i said, mostly to myself as i sat on the kitchen chair with my face in my hands.
he glared at me for a second.
"why?! because you wanted to go to college, brenda! someone around here has to take care of OUR kids," he said, standing up as he rose his voice.
i backed away from him, partly because of shame and partly because of fear.
"well, i didn't actually want you to! how are we gonna pay the bills!"
jack rolled his eyes and turned his back to me. i looked at him as he walked out to the staircase.
"figure it out, you're the one going to college." he muttered coldly.
