A Stripper's Daughter

Chapter 10

"P-Pregnant? How...Who...How Is That Possible?" I Said. My Doctor Raised Her Eyebrow At Me.

"I Mean I Know How, But....How?" I Said. I Started Crying Uncontrollably As I Started Hyperventilating. The Doctor Quickly Grabbed Me A Bag And Helped My Calm My Breathing. I Didn't Understand How I Could Be Pregnant!

"Are You Calm?" She Asked. I Nodded.

"Now...You're Only 6 Weeks Along, And You Do Have Options." She Said.

"Options?" I Said.

"Yes. Like Adoption Or Even Abortion." She Said. I Processed Everything She Was Telling Me, But I Just Couldn't Focus. The Doctor Gave Me A Bunch Of Brochures And Sent Me On My Way. What Am I Gon Do? I Cried The Whole Way Home. I Had To Catch A Cab Because My Dad's House Was Way Too Far Of A Walk. The Cab Dropped Me Off On The Corner And I Hurried Towards The House. I Heard Gunshots And Immediately Froze. The Gunshots Were Coming From Inside My Dad's House!

"Dad!" I Screamed As I Burst Through The Door. I Saw Three Guns Pointed Towards Me And I Screamed Bloody Murder.

"Chill Out! It's My Daughter." My Dad Said. The Men Put Their Guns Down As My Dad Ran Over To Me.

"What The Hell Are You Doing Home From School?!" He Snapped.

"They Sent Me Home Because I Had The Flu." I Lied.

"And They Couldn't Call First? Fucked Up Ass School! How'd You Get Home?" He Asked.

"I Caught A Cab Halfway And Walked The Rest Of The Way." I Said. He Sighed.

"Go To Your Room And Rest. I'll Be Up In A Little While To Check On You." He Said. I Nodded And Froze When I Saw The Dead Body On The Floor. The Blood Was Pouring From His Neck As My Dad Shoved Me Towards The Stairs. I Hurried Up The Stairs And Immediately Went Running For The Bathroom. My Dad Was A Murderer? This Was Too Much!

Two Days Had Passed And I Started Feeling Better. My Dad Waited On Me Hand And Foot, And Made Sure I Was Getting Better. We Never Discussed What Happened The Other Night, But That Didn't Mean I Was Gon Let It Go.

"Wake Up Sugar Foot." Dakota Said. I Groaned As I Rolled Over.

"I Brought You A Care Package." She Said. I Opened One Eye And Looked At Her.

"I Got Us Our Favorite Movies, Junk Food, Us Some New Pajamas, Andddd...Lysol Cause I Don't Need To Be Getting Sick." She Said. I Giggled As I Sat Up. Kota Was Coming To Spend The Weekend With Me While My Dad Went Out Of Town On Some "Business." I Got Up And Went To Take A Quick Shower While Dakota Went And Set The Living Room Up. We Were Both Dressed In Our Movie Night Pajamas When My Dad Came Downstairs.

"I'll Be Back Sunday Morning. Don't Open This Door For Anybody, No Boys, And Keep The Alarm On At All Times. If You Need Anything Just Call Me...And Layla? No Boys. You Either Dakota." He Said.

"You Said That Already Old Man." I Teased.

"We Wouldn't Dare, Mr. Davis." Kota Said Sweetly. My Dad Laughed As He Kissed My Forehead And Left.

"Girl Your Dad Is Sexy!" Kota Said. I Shoved Her And We Started Play Fighting. I Decided That I Was Gon Tell Dakota About The Pregnancy, But I Was Scared. We Sat And Stuffed Our Faces With Ice Cream As We Watched Waist Deep For The 100th Time.

"Mm...Tyrese Lawd!" Kota Said. I Giggled. I Was About To Just Blurt It Out, But I Was Saved By The Doorbell. I Checked The Time And Noticed That It Was Too Late For Visitors. I Glanced Through The Peephole And Saw Two Men Wearing All Black. I Slowly Back Away From The Door As I Signaled Dakota To Follow Me Upstairs. We Tiptoed Upstairs, But Took Off Running When They Started To Kick The Door In. I Grabbed My Phone As I Hid Under The Bed, And Kota Hid In The Closet. I Called My Dad, But He Didn't Answer. I Left Him A Message And Text Him, But Got Nothing. I Heard Loud Footsteps As My Door Flew Open. They Went Straight For My Closet And I Immediately Heard Dakota Screaming!

"Shut That Bitch Up!" The Man Snapped. His Voice Sounded All To Familiar. I Heard A Loud Slap And Saw Dakota Falling To The Floor. I Covered My Mouth As I Saw The Blood Come From Her Head. My Phone Then Started Ringing And I Knew I Was Caught. I Quickly Answered The Phone As The Two Men Pulled Me From Under The Bed. I Screamed As I Tried To Fight The Two Men Off, But I Was Hit On The Side Of The Head And Blacked Out.
