Without You

Chapter 8: I'm Done

* Malachi

My eyes widened in shock as I watched Star charge at her father, angrily. I seen Nicole smile. What snapped me back to reality is watching her father jump out of his seat. Quickly, I rushed towards their table behind Star.

"Are you serious?! You sad excuse of a fucking husband! Yet alone, a father! Are you serious, Dad? And with Malachi's ex?" She yelled in a whisper to her father which I highly respected because she wasn't trying to cause a scene.

"B-Babygirl, I-I-" He was cut off by me.

"What's going on here?" I asked as I folded my arms and began to scold at him.

"Baby, I think you already know what's going on here.. " Star stared at her father with disgust.

"T-This is your father?!" Nicole yelled. I groaned. The last thing we needed right now is for this loud ass muthafucka' to speak.

I caught glimpses of people staring at us from my peripheral."I can explain..."

* Star

My Hopeless excuse of a father pleads but I wasn't hearing any of that, he's supposed to be working late instead he's here with the worlds biggest whore and eating dinner? Seriously?

"Explain what? How you're supposed to be working late? Or even you're supposed to be with your only daughter, and your WIFE having dinner. Instead, you're out with this bitch?" I folded my arms as he looked at me with guilt in his eyes.

"How could you?" I whispered trying control my emotions but the fact that my mother is pregnant just pisses me off even more. "While she's pregnant!" I yelled which made Nicole jaw drop.

"She's pregnant?" Nicole gasp standing up to leave. My father or should I say, sperm donor, tried to pull her back.

"Nicole... Don't go." He plead looking into her eyes, she pulled away from him as she shook her head.

"Don't touch me, you told me you were divorced!" She stormed away. I just sat there, staring at my poor excuse of a father.

"So long for Father of the year award..." Malachi joked.

I glared at her smiling face which changed instantly.

"Sorry." She cleared her throat.

I moved closer to him, looking him up and down then spit on his shoes, I heard several people around us, gasp.
"Star! Listen! I am still your father, you have no right to disrespect me like this!" He said trying to control his anger but I just laughed at him.

"You are no father of mines. My father adores my mother and treated her like the Queen is she. The father I know would be with his PREGNANT WIFE instead of fucking around with little girls. You're no father of mine, you're nothing but a sperm donor."

I turned to leave, but not without saying my last words. "Oh, and just an FYI, you've been fucking with Malachi's old bitch." The look on his face was priceless. I went to turn back around, yet again, but the face I found in front of me was none other than my mother, who looked from my sperm donor to me with confusion.

"___ What are you doing here?" She asked, confused.

He was speechless, I turned towards him smirking, "Do you want to tell her? Or should I?"

"Star, what is going on?" She asked sternly.

"Well mother, I caught this lying motherfucker hugged with Malachi's old bitch Nicole. But I'm confused. It's correct that he told you he was working later?" I said with so much sarcasm I wanted to scream. Now y'all thought I was mad, My mom was turning red. She looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

"Shaylee, now it's not what you're thinking." He lied and I laughed.

"So you didn't just kiss that bitch? Or were you not just hugging her? Stop lying, you're caught." I said raising my voice.

"Star, that's enough!" My mom said never breaking her eye contact from father. "Let's get out of here.." She said walking away. Mickey and I looked at each other, confused.

"Come on bae, let's just leave."Mickey said and I just sighed.

"Fine, but I'm done with you." I gritted through my teeth as the tears fell, his face softened but I didn't care, I was done with him. That was not my father anymore. . .

"It's gonna be okay, baby." Mickey said rocking me as I cry, I just can't believe that he would do that to our family. It made me think of all the times he claimed to be working late and all those ignored calls Nicole didn't take whenever she was with Mickey. It's just fucked up, and to see the sadness in my mother's eyes, hurts me even more. She was so happy when she told us she's pregnant, now, what's going to happen?

"I just don't see that.. What if my parents get a divorce? What's going happen to my little brother or little sister? It's all fucked up." I sobbed, mickey rubbed my back, soothingly.

"Babygirl, everything is going to work out. I promise."

I closed my eyes and let out a shaky sigh as Malachi pulled me closer to her. I just hope she's right.
