~Chapter Seven~
Mac's POV
"I said no, Dad."
"Mac, lets go." My father gruffly spoke.
"No." I stayed glued to the last step of the stairs. I knew I was pushing it. I knew he was going to crack sooner or later. But I still wouldn't move.
"Mac." He said in a warning tone.
I wanted to see him crack. I wanted to see him lose control. It was the only emotion he ever showed. Anger. His eye twitched. He was losing it. Any second now-
"I SAID LETS GO! GET YOUR ASS TO THE CAR BEFORE I KICK IT THERE!"
I stood frozen. I swear I could see smoke bursting out of his ears. He marched towards me, fuming. He brought his knee up and kicked me. Right where it hurts. I doubled over.
"That's what you get. You listen to me, or you face the consequences. You are going to that class."
I used all my strength to straighten up. I looked him straight in the eye. "Mom wouldn't have made me." I said quietly. That's the fist time in two years I've dared mention her to my father. Something flickered in his eyes. But as fast as it had come, it was gone. He kicked me harder in the groin. Tears began to spill out of my eyes.
"DONT YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS!"
"IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" I screamed, now full of rage. "YOU DID THIS TO HER! YOU HURT HER SO MUCH SHE'D RATHER BE A DRUG DEALER THAN SPEND TIME WITH YOU! OR ME, FOR THAT MATTER SHE'S SO SCARED OF YOU SHE WON'T EVEN LOVE HER FUCKING SON! SHE'S BEHIND BARS BECAUSE OF YOU! I HATE YOU!" My throat was raw. My tears were soaking my cheeks. He raised his fist to hit me but I ducked and ran out the front door, faster than I'd ever run before.
Roe's POV
By the time I was ready to meet Leo, it was 9:45. We were meeting at the local café, Steam. I walked down the stairs to grab my jean jacket and phone. I had three new texts from Leo.
"almost @ steam"
"here"
"wr r u? im lonely :)"
I smiled and texted back.
"dw, I'm leaving now :)"
I walked out the door and locked the house. Even though it was early April, the weather felt like it usually does in June. It was about 27 degrees, but a bit overcast. Hm, maybe I should bring a raincoat... I decided not to bother, I didn't want to keep Leo waiting any longer. My phone buzzed just as I started down the sidewalk.
"yay!!!!"
I smiled again, he was so childish. Luckily I live about three blocks from Steam, so I was there in no time. I texted Leo.
"how will i find u?"
Buzzzzz
"u dont need 2"
I typed back.
"????"
Buzzzzzz
"ill find u. i just hav 2 look for the most beautiful girl in the world ;)"
I have to admit, that was smooth. And I sorta fell for it. Sorta.
"awww<3<3"
Buzzzzz
";)"
I went throught he café's doors, and was greeted by the cool air conditioner. I looked around the shop, looking for the golden-blonde hair. I finally found him staring at his phone in one of the booths. He looked up straight at me just as my phone buzzed.
"found u ;)"
My smile grew wider as I walked over to the booth.
