"Yeah, I know that. But I'm asking you about the people you have around her Elizabeth."
Bria was asleep on my shoulder as I walked into the house. I just came from the school to pick her up, after having a long talk with her teacher.
"Ok Y/N. I hear you, and for the third time. No, I do not know how she got those bruises. But how about you ask yourself that, you are the one having random women around her!"
"Excuse me?" My face frowned up more than before. "I have never had random women around my child Elizabeth. But I do know that I've never put my hands on her either. She was with you over the weekend."
The talk with her teacher was... something. She told me that Bria had been acting out lately, which was not like her at all. Then she also mentioned to me that Bria had some bruising on her leg and forearm. I know for a fact that I would never lay a hand on my daughter. Ever. The last person she was with, was Elizabeth. Who also, might I add dropped her off at school this morning.
So yeah, I'm pissed off right now. Because she may be denying it. But someone had to do it.
I walked up the stairs and into Bria's room to put her in bed.
"She sure as hell didn't do it to herself." I snapped. "And to make things worse, her teacher also said that she started crying when she asked her about you. So I don't want to hear anything about you don't know!"
"So, because she's been misbehaving and being a spoiled brat. I'm being blamed for abusing her? That's a new low even for you Y/N."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I needed to calm down. Or at least try to, because I was about to lose my shit completely.
"Who have you had around my daughter Elizabeth?"
She laughed making me more upset. "Y/N just leave me the fuck alone about the situation. I told you I didn't know about it. You need to check yourself and your people, before coming to me. I never laid a hand on her, all you have to do is ask her."
"Oh I'm going to do that. I'll do more than that actually. Cause if I find out you or any fucking body associated with you touched her. I will be taking your ass back to court and this time you won't be having any contact with her at all."
"But that's not fair! You can't do this to me Y/N-"
Before she could finish her sentence I rolled my eyes and hung up the phone.
God damnit!
Why, why is this happening to my baby? She didn't do anything for this to happen to her. I sighed and looked over at Bria. As I rubbed her face, I noticed she had dried tears on her red cheeks.
I really hate seeing her this way.
She was so broken up back at the school. Speaking to her teacher, it was hard to hear about things that I just let slip right under my nose. How could I not notice that something was going on with her? She's my daughter, I should have known first. No school should have had to call me about it.
I guess I've just been so busy with work that I wasn't paying close enough attention as I should have been. That's my fault.
After staring at Bria for a bit long and just sitting with her, I got up from her small bed and walked out the room. Making sure to leave the door cracked open.
Soon as I got to my room, I ran me a steamy hot shower and got in. I let the water run over my face and head.
I groaned and threw my head back starting to feel some stress roll off of my shoulders.
