Lauren pov
I sat in the waiting room constantly wiping my tears getting Deja vu being in here once again.
My mom came over hugging me and I sniffed laying my head on her shoulder allowing her to wipe my tears for me.
I feel guilty making it worse. I feel like I didn't have a right to be sad because I was in the car.
"Family for Billy London" I heard and quickly looked over getting up along with everyone else.
He explained all the injuries he had but over all he was good taking a load off my chest. "Can we see him?" My mom asked them.
They said yes and began taking us into the room. When we entered my daddy turned his head looking at us.
He narrowed his eyes at me and I knew right then that he knew.
"everyone give me a second with my daughter" she rusted out while sitting up some.
"What is it billy ?" My mom asked with a frown while people began to leave.
I stood there looking down nervously at my fingers not knowing what he's about to do or say.
"What happened billy ?" My mom asked again once everybody was out.
"Lauren when did you find out I was shot ?" He asked never taking his eyes off me.
"ma called me" I whispered.
"Yea I did. Why-"Hush Angela." He cut her off.
"Lauren."
"Yes ?" I looked up at him seeing he was giving me that stare that always scares me. I don't know what it is, it's like he's looking in my soul.
"When did you find out I was shot ? Don't lie."
"Daddy I just said ma called me" I began to slightly whine rubbing my eyes so I wouldn't have to look at him.
"I almost died noonie" he told me making the guilt I felt worse. "The girl could've killed me but she didn't.. you wanna know why ?"
"no" I whispered.
"Because you know why."
"Well shit tell me why" my mom said
"Because somebody in the car with her was screaming 'My daddy nika, that's my daddy stop'" he mocked my voice.
I stayed looking down at the ground not saying nothing. "Lauren how do you know that girl ?" He asked me
"Wait, hold on" my mom shook her head "Noonie you was in the car ?!"
"Answer us Nicole. You can hear." My dad said rudely calling me my middle name after I stayed silent.
"yes but it's not like that" I whispered.
"How do you know her ?" He asked.
I avoided the question and my mom looked at me "is it that girl i told you to stop talking to ?" She asked lowly.
I looked at my fingers twisting them while tears weld up in my eyes "Is that who you snuck out my house to see ?!" She yelled at me.
"Answer the question noonie !" My das yelled at me.
"Yes !" I yelled back at them.
"What did I tell you about that girl Lauren ?!" My mom yelled at me.
"I love her !"
"You what ?!" They both yelled.
"You love her ?! That's why you sneaking out my house and inside of her hers ??! Has she been inside of my house without me knowing Lauren ?!"
