YOU ARE MY LIGHT

Chapter 10

Carson
________________

I was sitting in the living room when I heard the front door open. I was expecting it to be Sam because he'd said he was coming over, but when I turned around I saw my dad.

"Dad"

This was the first time I've seen him in a couple days, and all he did was look at me, like he was guilty of something. Why was he home so early?

"Why are you home so early?" I asked him

"Um I-" he started to say but then just sighed. "I wasn't feeling well." Hmm weird, he usually still goes when he's sick. Why can't he handle it today? I got up from the couch and started to walk towards him. Something still felt off. I came to a stop once I noticed a mark on his neck "Dad, what's on ur neck?" I asked

"Umm, nothing just a bruise." He rubs his neck trying to make it look like it hurt but I wasn't buying it. I'm not that stupid.

"How'd you get it?" I asked still not convinced it's a bruise.

"Listen honey, I'm not in the mood. I'm just gonna head to bed then go back to work." He said waving me off. Oh no he doesn't.

"Dad" I say with tears filling my eyes. "Why?" I asked him. And I swear if he tries to deny-

"Why, what?" he asked turning back around looking confused.

"You know what." I said staring at his neck. And as I stare more at his neck I notice red on his under shirt.

"Honey it's not what you think-"

"Don't" I cut him off. "I don't wanna here anymore of your stupid excuses." And Right as he was about to say something, the front opened and Sam walked in.

"Hey-"

"Get the fuck out." I tell my dad.

"What?" sam asked confused, thinking I was talking to him.
"Not you" I told sam him then went back to staring daggers at my dad.

"Honey-"

"Shut up" I cut him off.

"Hey, that's no way to talk to me. I'm still your father."

"Oh, so it's bad if I talk to you like that, but it's not when you fucken cheat on your wife." I snap at him.

"Carson, what's going on?" Sam asks confused standing beside me. Looking at me with concern in his eyes.

I stared back at his eyes my anger going down just a little. Tears were coming fast still, because how could the man I call my dad be so selfish how could he be so stupid to do this to my beautiful mother.

"He cheated Sam. My dads a fucking whore, and I hate him sam. I want him out now, please get him out." I cried into his chest. Hurt that my father did this to our family.

"Okay okay, just calm down please don't cry." he said wiping my tear streaked face off with his thumbs.

"Okay" I said wiping the rest but I couldn't control it they kept coming.

"I think it's best you leave." I said hugging Carson and staring hard daggers at her dad for making her cry. Why did this have to how we met? why couldn't he have been a good dad and we met, but at first he hates me like any dad would if there daughter brought home a boy who's stranger to them, but then he'd accept me because he sees how much I care about Carson. God why couldn't it be like that.
