" It shouldn't hurt to look your way (your way, ah-ah, ah)
I shouldn't have to catch a case (ah-ah, ah yeah)
'Cause I'm the one that can't stand to feel any more pain (ah-ah, ooh, ooh) "

"I'm here to see Jayden..." I could hear my father's voice coming from outside and of course he had to come in when he could've sent anyone else to come get me but it just had to be him. I hoped to see mom or even Aubrey here, anyone but my father. I look up through my hooded eyes watching the officer smirk as he comes to open the cell I was put in with other teenagers. The cocky officer used his finger to gesture me to come out and I did grabbing my hoodie I had to fight to keep since it was a fucking freezer in here.
"After the boy in the hospital wakes up we'll need him for questioning..." My dad places his hand on my shoulder holding onto me tightly, he saids nothing but nods his head leading me out of the police station that was an hour away from where we live. We stepped out and I felt the cold breeze, I turned around to see my father running his hand through his hair breathing out heavily the air turning white.
" Gesù Cristo, Jayden..." Dad said through his gritted teeth, muttering a string of curse words in Italian and he pulled out his car keys, unlocking the car. I waited till he walked in front of me as I followed behind him getting inside the passenger seat. I sighed deeply, I was scared but at the same time I didn't care if I was going to get in trouble with my dad. I knew Jimmy wasn't going to say anything about who jumped him, because he'll know they'll come back to finish him.
( Jesus Christ )
"Give me your phone" Dad asked turning into the highway driving quickly with one hand, cutting up between cars. I clenched onto the car seat and handed dad my phone before I can say anything he puts the window down and throws my phone out the window his face stone cold.
"Dad! What the fuck!" I yelled at him and he looked at me while driving a little more calmer with one arm and another putting up the window.
"I said you'll have consequences didn't I? And that wasn't the only one... If you had anything to do with hurting that boy... fuck Jayden! What the hell were you thinking!" He yelled on top of his lungs and I sucked in a breath trying to control myself.
"Alright dad I get it... I-I didn't do nothing! So why are you fucking yelling at me?" My tone matching his and I made eye contact with my father his eyes furious with rage. He chuckled to himself darkly like I've seen him do when he pissed off.
"So then why the fuck were you caught with him!, he was bleeding everywhere when they saw him and you're telling me you didn't do nothing? Chi altro c'era, Jayden, perché so che non eri solo! " Dad yelled his voice echoing throughout the car as he drove off the highway. His veins popping out his hands as he gripped the steering wheel tight and I ran my hand through my sweaty hair, shaking my head trying to figure out what to say.
( Who else was there, Jayden, because I know you weren't alone! )
"I was with my friends... I had no choice I needed to do it!" "You what? You had no other choice? What the fuck were you even thinking... did you even think at all? Are you trying to fit in with other kids by beating on some other kid... Jimmy Scott? The senior that your sister went to school with last year!" It's like it clicked in his head and once the car was parked in the driveway I got out not wanting to talk about it anymore. I was done with this conversation and I was done with him yelling at me, I was done with everything.
