(Sweeney's POV)
Once she was in my shop, I slammed the door behind me and mentally told myself to calm down before I spoke.

However before I could even speak, Johanna balled up her fists and galred at me.

"How could you embarrass me like that?! Just because your gloomy and heart broken dosen't mean I have to be!"

"...Don't you take that tone of voice with me youg lady! I'm your father and you will show me some damn respect!" I snapped.

"How can I when you keep controlling me?! You want to control who I call mom, how I have my hair, and now you're going to control my love life?!" She said clearly trying to fight the tears forming in her eyes.

"Love life?' I asked.

"Dont you understand?! I Love him!!" She practically screamed.

Once those dreaded words left her mouth and hit both of my ears, my heart began to pound and my body felt as if it was burning alive.

"No...Have you lost your mind Johanna?! You bearly know that boy! You're only sixteen for gods sake you don't know a thing about love!"

"I don't care!" She said crossing her arms and looking away from me.

I could no longer control the range inside. If she couldn't understand my love and concern for her. Or the pain she was putting me through, I would cause her just as much pain back!

"So help me Johanna, I am going to get through to you! And if this is the only way...So be it!!"

With that said, I snatched that stupid butterfly hair clip clean out of her hair. Causing her to moan in pain as it pulled a decent amount of her hair along with it.

Once she noticed it was in my cold pale hand, a look of worry crossed her face.

"Dad! Dad no please! Stop it!" She cried out as I crushed the damn thing in my palm in two. And through the remaining peices against the wall.

She cried as she ran past me and collected whatever peices she could into her hand.

She turned back around with tears streaming down her face and said, "You really are a Demon!" Jumping to her feet, Johanna ran out of the shop and back into the house.

I stood there, realizing what I had done...I was trying to protect her..instead I just hurt her.. "Way to go asshole you cant do anything right" I said to myself before sitting in my chair and putting my face in my hands.


*The Next Morning*
(Johanna's POV)

I sat there at the kitchen table holding Pipa, feeling to upset to eat.

Toby on the other hand, was enjoying another pie and a small glass of ale to wash it down.

And Mom was behind the counter looking just as upset as I was as she rolled out more dough for her pies.

All four of us were silent for a while, that is until the door to the pie shop opened and my so called father walked in.

"..Goodmorning everyone' he said sounding somewhat akward.

"Morning Mr.T" said Toby, and Pipa babbled at him with her precious smile.

Me and mom just remained silent.

"Mrs. Lovett, May I speak to you please?' he asked.

"I'm busy" Mom said in a flat voice.

"Oh..well alright...Johanna, would you like to take a walk with me to hyde park?' Dad asked, almost as if he was begging for me to say yes.

"It's raining" I said not bothering to look at him.

"Oh..I suppose your right.Well may I take the baby into the den?" he asked.

I just shrugged and handed Pipa to him.

He didnt say another word as he walked away with her.

"What's going on?" Toby asked.

"Nothing Toby" Both mom and I said.

Things just seemed to be getting worse for this so called family.
