I Love You

28

As I pull Nyah down the stairs by her hand while we struggle with our bags my phone rings

"It's dad" i stop and tell her

"Well answer it. This is crazy! You're believing a man who left you with his child all alone about our dad!" She argues

I slow put the phone to my ears

Voice call with My First Love👨🏽‍🍼🩵

Weh unnuh ago inna hurry and with bags?

*I look up and I see a camera pointing right at us*

You got cameras now??

Mi ask yuh sum

We're going on a sister trip

*Nyah grabs the phone from my hands*

Dad can you tell Chalynn that her and her deadbeat husband is crazy! They think you're after then or something

I'm on my way. Stay put. Don't go anywhere with her

End of conversation

"He said to stay put" she says handing me back my phone

"No we have to now Chenyah" I try pulling her down the rest of the stairs but she won't budge

"No Chalynn! He's our dad. He would never intentionally hurt us or your family!" She storms pass me and I follow her

She takes a seat on the couch in the living floor and turns on the tv

"I won't leave you"

"I never asked you to leave or bring me. I asked you to have waa likkle bit a sense. All if a waa inch"

She's now focused on the tv as if I'm not standing right here

Gwaan leff har. Who nuh hear we feel

I can't, that's my little sister

Oooookkkkkk. Tan deh deh den

I take a seat beside her with my scissors on my lap . I won't leave her but we can't sit here defenseless.

.....

We hear the door burst open catching our attention
