"I'm going babe." Britney said as Liam was still in bed, she decided to go out with her dad this morning then attend her third appointment at the doctors, usually it would go really well and everything will be fine which was a good sign for Brit.

"Be safe alright?" Liam shouted from the other room

"I always am." Britney whispered as she walked out of her apartment door locking it on her way out.

She drive in her car as she went down the same street searching for her dad, a tall man with brown hair usually wears leather jackets. She spotted him as she pulled up, he was talking to a woman who looked like her mother, guess he goes for the same type.

"Dad!" Britney said as she rolled the window down, he smiled as he saw her car and looked shocked

"Nice car darling." He said leaning on the car window

"Thanks, are you getting in?" Brit questioned

"Oh yeah." He said as he looked back at the woman before getting in on the passenger side

they talked for a while about what had been going on in each others life, Britney loved having him around, he never talked when she was younger so to hear his voice again was soothing and comforting. No matter what he did in the past she loved him so much, it's almost like she had forgiven him completely

"Remember that time when I almost blew the whole house down?" Britney chuckled at that memory

"Oh yeah, and mum grounded you for three weeks."

"It was so unfair."

"She sort of has a point though!" He shrugged his shoulders

"No she does not! I mean not for three weeks!" He laughed at britneys response, the two loved remembering memories though things were different then, they were happy, and well, now everything's gone to shit.

"Dad id love to help you out, it's just I can't."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean— you're my father, but I'm short of money since I've been off for the past month." She couldn't tell him she was pregnant, not yet.

The thing is her father had no place to stay, he was currently living with that woman he was talking too using her as a side piece and a roommate who would be verbally abusive to him all the time, so since Britney was 'rich' in his eyes he figured she would lend him some money and he could get out of the town.

"I'm you're father, you fucking bitch!" "You cannot treat me this way after everything I have done for you?!" Her father shouted as people walked past hearing but not caring.

"Dad please. I'm short on money I don't—" before Britney could finish her sentence he had now took her by the collar of her t shirt and pulled her forward whispering abusive comments in her ear which was blocked out by the panic in britneys mind. She felt a slice on her forehead which ached as blood ran down her face.

"Please.. —please." Britney stuttered trying to get her words together as she felt like her stomach had been punched back in, she thought he had changed but she was wrong all the time she's wrong. How she felt so so dumb for falling into this trap once again.

"What? Tell me, use you're words do you want me to stop?!"

"I don't— I'm— I'm pregnant. Please.. please stop." Britney whimpered as she tried to control her breathing but ended up just getting worse

Before he could say anything he immediately got out of the car and walked down the street slamming the car door leaving Britney there her breath out of control, shaking uncontrollably as blood ran down her forehead, bruises making their appearance. After everything that happened with her mother she felt like a fool for falling for the same thing with her dad.

She got herself up as she felt her stomach it ached like nothing had ached before like someone had just threw a knife into her stomach and left her there.

She pulled her hands on the steering wheel as she pulled out of the driveway heading back home, she was dreading it, everything, but she had no other place to go, after all it is her home.

"What the fuck happened to you?" Liam eyes began to grow wider as his face looked firmer as he ran his finger across the girls cut on her forehead.

"What? Oh, this? I bumped into a pole!" Brit nodded as she threw her bag onto the sofa, awkwardly laughing

"I'm not as stupid as I look, what happened? What did he do? If he touched you I swear to fucking god-" Liam said as his tone began to change more firmer

"Nothing. He did nothing, can we forget it now?" Britney lied, she hated telling Liam about things like this because he would usually loose his shit and do something stupid.

"Stop lying to me!" Liam demanded as he turned to face Britney as she avoided eye contact

"I'm not, and don't fucking shout at me! This is my business, not yours." Britney hated arguing with Liam, she loved him too much for him to be mad but with all the cocaine, weed, alcohol and cigarettes running in his system it became a daily occurrence, sometimes over the most smallest things, making him leave the house for two days and not return.

"I don't give a fucking shit okay?! He hurt you, brit what part of that don't you understand!" Liam said, he despised her father and her mother what they did to Britney, he would do anything to protect her even if it means fighting to the death he would do it, that's what you get when you fall in love.

"Liam! You can't keep going round and doing this, I know you're only trying to protect me but this is gonna happen all the fucking time, we gotta get used to it."

"Well I can't let it happen all the time or any time, because I love you and I don't want to see you get hurt! Why don't you stop being so damn selfish and think about what he's doing to you."

"He's my father."

"Well that's your choice. Not mine." Liam scoffed

"Liam what part of that don't you understand? He is my family, I love him. Whatever he did to me was in the past!" Britney shouted she wasn't going to let him win this and go off scoffing to himself.

"And he still does!" Britney hated to admit it but he's right, she craved that fatherly affection and the same goes for her mother but she knew she was never gonna get it, which broke her heart into pieces

"He fucking abuses you britney! He isn't you're family, you have none anymore! You're mum isn't here nor you're dad, no one, just you." Liam shouted as much as Britney didn't want to believe it, it was true, she had no family all she had was Liam and that wasn't good enough for her, she craved that motherly love a happy family that she longed for.

"If you want to be like this, then just leave." Brit sighed as she felt her body shake

"Brit—"

"Get the fuck out!" Britney screamed as her eyes began to well up, a rush of guilt filled Liam as the words of his recent sentence played in his mind

Throwing his clothes at him, that was now no longer in her wardrobe, her heart began to ache as much as she needed him right now he was no good for her.

"Get out." Britney whispered, as Liam held his clothes tight to his chest he didn't cry but his face was filled with remorse.

"Alright." Turning his head he headed straight for the door not saying a word, slamming it on his way out.

She loved him more than she loved herself, that's what she hated so bad about herself, she couldn't let him go no matter how much of a dick he was from time to time she would always come running back into his arms again and again.
