Moving Forward

Chapter Two

Marks P.O.V

"Pack your stuff your gonna come live with me." I said letting her out of the hug.

"No, I cant I have to stay with dad." She says as fear laces through her.

"Your not staying here." I say and she starts to panic.

"No I have to take care of him. He needs me." She says looking at the unconscious man on the floor.

"He hit you, disrespected you, he tried to rape you once, and every time I let you have your way. You keep saying he's going to get better but every time I come he's somewhere hurting you. Pack you stuff... your coming. Understood?" I say grabbing her shoulders and giving her a little push.

As she goes to pack her things I pick up my dad and head down stairs. When we walk into the kitchen, he opens a bottle of beer and I sit him at the table.

"So why are you here now?" He asks taking a sip of his beer.

"Mia's coming to live with me for a while." I said as he looks at me with a humorous look.

"No shes not." He laughs as he says it and I laugh back.

"Uh... yea she is. She's packing now. I don't want her around some drunkie who doesn't have a job." I say as she comes down stair holding a couple of bags in her hand and over her shoulder.

I take them from her and grab her bag as she goes back up the steps to finish and i walk out to my car. It was around 12:00 when we were done putting all her things in the car. It would have been sooner if it wasn't for my dads attempts to make her stay.

I call out for Benny and he comes running out the house Mia comes soon after him carrying all his things in a box.
