The Battle

Chapter 3

I know you may wonder why I dread going to my father's house for the week when everyone seems happy right? Wrong. Don't get me wrong my dad and I have wonderful times when we are together but I'm not his main focal point. That probably sounds stubborn I know but I see my dad a couple times out the week I'm here. He makes sure I'm safe by sending people to check on me. One of those being Trey, which is a plus. Well just read on you will see why in a few.

*After Everyone Leaves.... *

Dad and I just finished cleaning and put in a movie to watch. He let me pick and of course I chose The Last Song. I lay on the couch with a giant bowl of white chocolate covered trail mix and another full of M&Ms (My favorite) I sit them on the coffee table in front of the couch, while Dad gets the drinks. I was deep in the movie when I feel little specks hitting me every so often. "Dad Stoppp it's a really good parttt " I groan frustrated at his childish behavior. He stops the movie and I look at him like he's crazy. "Thomas you have to be kidding me right now turn it back on!" I give up once I realize he isn't going to let me win.

"Time for bed princess we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." He picks me up and runs me to my room while I scream at him for turning off my favorite movie. After dad carried me to my room unwillingly and shut my door, I waited about ten minutes making sure he wasn't going to come back in my room. I turned on my TV and Xbox going to Netflix watching Vampire Diaries. Stefan and Elena were packing for their trip to her parents cabin when my phone started blaring Bonnie and Clyde by Tink, letting me know Trey was calling.

"Hey baby. " I said as soon as I answered the phone.

"Babygirl come open the door, hurry up I need your help." He said in a shaky voice.

I ran downstairs to the door and looked out making sure I didn't see anything that wasn't normal. Straight when my eyes landed on Trey, I flew open the door pulling him to me. He had tears running down his face, he picked me up and brought us to the couch burying his face in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around him kissing the top of his head while whispering sweet nothings, telling him it will be okay. I had a feeling I had known what it was about. Once Trey calmed down a little, I lifted his head up and kissed away his tears then his lips. He looked so empty and helpless, I grabbed his hands getting off his lap and lead him to my room. He laid on the bed pulling me with him, so we were face to face.

"She's gone baby, I need her back..... " He sobbed confirming he lost his world, his mother to the sick battle of cancer.

"Shh I know Trey, calm down hun, you don't have to talk about it right now. " I ran my fingers through his curls kissing his forehead and he held me tighter as if he was afraid of losing me next. Resting his head on my chest. Letting my tears flow silently with the sounds of our heavy breathing and a few sniffles here and there. Growing up Ms. Angel had been a second mom to me. Knowing she is gone will take a toll on all of us, staying in that same position me and Trey drifted off to sleep .

Waking up early in the morning Trey still asleep. There was a note near my door that my father must've slipped under. I gently slipped out of Trey's arms placing a pillow there instead grabbing the note and making my way towards the bathroom.
Stapled to the note was 700$ the note read : Hey sweetheart I have a few errands to run today so our big day is going to have to be pushed back for a while. Take this money on the back along with a pair of the car keys and do as you please today spoil yourself if you'd like I should be back by tomorrow morning if not I'll have someone bring you some more money give me a call when you get this I'll explain further. Love you

~ Your loving father.

I shook my head opening the box full of empty promises from Thomas and sat this one on top I took out my phone and texted my mom he did it again. She responded quickly telling me give him time saying things will get better in due time. I decided not to respond and I went down stairs in my baby's long shirt and started cooking breakfast.

I took out fresh fruit consisting of strawberries, pineapples and apples. I cut up the strawberries and apples in fine pieces with brown and white sugar and cinnamon mixing it up in a large bowl letting the juices flow together for a syrup base for the pancakes I started mixing the pancake batter and covered it moving on to the breakfast casserole I chopped up ham in chunks and sausage along with an onion and minced garlic. I mixed it all up with some olive olive letting it simmer I got the sugar and ice out pouring it all in the blender with pineapple juice and pineapple chunks. While everything was finishing up. I set up the table for me and Trey and turned up my music a little not enough to wake him up. I made the plate grabbing our smoothies. I went and woke him up with kisses all over his face straddling his waist he held on my hips and laughed a little "Baby chill out and look at me why you so happy? " rubbing up and down my thighs.

" I've got a surprise for you wash up and come down stairs. " I jumped up and pushed him to the bathroom. He shook his head smiling and went into the bathroom. I wonder if he remembers the night before....

"FUCK MAN ! " I heard coming From the bathroom I ran in and he was crying. He looked up and asked "Is it true she's gone . " I walked over and stood in between his legs and he held my torso crying.

I kissed his head he picked me up and brought us downstairs. Calming down a bit he sat me on the countertop staring in my eyes after taking in the view. I wiped his face. " You did all this for me? " I nodded my head and pecked his lips and moved him back a little and hopped down. He grabbed our plates sitting them next to each other and sat in the chair pulling me on his lap. We did our prayers and fed each other reminiscing the good times we had with his mom.
