Rats

We will make it

I see Dads corvette sitting in the driveway when we pull in, Dally's jaw locks and he looks dangerous all of the sudden. He would never hurt me,right? I walk up to the door and slowly unlock it, I smile at Dally who, in return, fakes a smirk. We walk in and try to sneak up to my room, unfortunately for the two of us, it didn't work.

"Dallas! I want to see you for a moment." He yells from downstairs.

I grab his arm and shake my head, pleading with him not to go. I knew my dad was drunk and I knew Dally would get hurt something fierce. He leaned down to kiss me and smiled with a smile that was supposed to be reassuring. He walked downstairs.

Dally's POV

"You wanted to see me, sir?" I ask as politely as I could.

He stands suddenly and says "You been cheatin me?"

"What? No sir! I would never-" I was cut off with a fist colliding with my eye.

He grabs my shirt collar and lift me off the ground. I was almost shaking.

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" He yells in my face.

I hear a small squeak behind me, I already knew that Rosie was standing behind me.

"Daddy, put him down." She said bravely.

"Why you little-" Her father roared.

He was about to hit her when she suddenly punched and kicked him in ribs. He fell and was knocked into a peaceful slumber. She bends down and helps me to my feet, She was tough as all get out. she wrapped her arms around me and sighs.

"You didn't have to do that, baby." I whisper in her soft brown hair.
