Kaden's P.O.V.

When the bell rang, Jazmine tried to be the first out of the room.

"Jazmine.", I said loudly, "Is that the best idea?" She turned around at the door as I glanced up at her, "Come here." She did so as I looked to Mia, "Be back in ten minutes or we will be having a much bigger issue."

"K.", she muttered, leaving. I looked back to Jazmine, who was frozen in fear,

"I-I-I'm really sorry. P-Please don't yell at me." 

"Hey, I'm not gonna yell at you kid.", I said softly, "Calm down, why are you so scared?"

"I-I-I've never be-been hit at-at school."

"Okay, and why are you scared of me?"

"I-I just feel like y-you get mad easily and-and like you hate me because y-you hate Mia and-"

"Woah freeze. I do not hate you or Mia. Mia is my daughter and I love her with everything in me. Do I love the choices she makes sometimes? No, of course not. But I could never hate her. Why would you think that?"

"She said you do."

"I don't. I don't hate either of you. Or anyone frankly." I paused, "Who yells at you?"

"My brother yells when he's mad."

"At you?"

"Just in general."

"Is he in charge of you?"

"Yeah. Our parents are in jail."

"Kid I'm sorry-"

"It's a good thing."

"Oh. Okay." I paused, "Listen, this time I'm giving you a warning." She let out a breath. "Next time I won't be so lenient, okay?"

"Yes. Got it. Thank you." I nodded,

"Sure kid. Get to lunch." She nodded, starting to leave. "And Jazz?"

"Y-Yeah?"

"Stop letting my kid get you into trouble."

"Sit.", I said after giving Mia another fifty with the belt. She got up and did so as I sat at my own desk. Before long, I heard someone sniffle as I looked up to find Mia crying softly from her desk. "Mia-"

"I hate you.", she cut me off softly. I froze,

"Okay. We need to fix that. Why do you hate me?" The bell rang as she stood up to leave. "Mia stop-"

"Can't be late."

After a silent ride home, Mia and I walked into an all too quiet house. I silently handed her her phone,

"Go take a nap. I'll wake you up in an hour and we'll work on homework and make dinner." Mia and I had kept one tradition every single night; making dinner together. It was our thing.

"I'm not hungry."

"Go nap. I'll wake you up in an hour."

Mia came downstairs thirty minutes later, landing next to me on the couch in tears,

"I'm sorry I said I hated you.", she whispered, "I don't I was just mad." I hugged her tightly,

"It's okay love. But you have to learn to work out being angry with people, not treat them like shit because of it."

"I-I know. I'm really sorry."
