I looked down at his face. He looks so hurt. "Stop crying." He said opening his eyes. "Stop crying because Angel will be in here soon." I wiped my eyes. There was small knock on the door. "Come in." Angel walked through the door. "Daddy what happened?" She came over gently touching his face and chest.
"Things." She nodded. Climbing over Derek getting into bed. "Where's your glasses Angel?" She didn't answer. "Did you lose them again?" She looked over to me I nodded. I know what happened. "I sold them.... So you would have the money to pay your boss." "Angel you didn't have to do that, you need your glasses baby." "I know daddy, I wanted to." She said pulling 100 dollars from her pocket. "Angel who did you sell your glasses to!?" "One of the crack heads."
"There troubled people, not crack heads." I said pulling up her hair. "Thank you Angel, next time tell me before you do something like this." He said kissing her cheek.
He got up and walked to the closet getting dressed. "Go get dressed Angel were going for breakfast." She hoped out and walked out to her room. "Derek." "Yes." He said loading his gun, and placing it in his pocket pulling his shirt over it. "Nothing." I said pulling on my pants and fixing my shirt. "You sure." "Yeah it's nothing." "Ok." He said putting on his shoes I did the same.
Before I walked out. "Danny it's never nothing, what's up?" "It's nothing really." I said walking out I help Angel get ready. Derek came out tear stained face. We walked out to the car. And got in. "Where do you want to go?" "Waffle house!" We drove there
The place was packed we had to wait. When a booth was open we sat. And ordered our usual. He grabbed a pen and a napkin. He wrote something then slid it across the table. "I found the test." He gave me the pen."I was going to tell you." I passed it back he wrote. "WHEN how far are you?!" I almost cried. "I was one week I lost it." I passed it. He looked at it and turned it over putting his head in his Hands.
"How is everything." "Good." I said choking back tears. She walked away. We finished eating. We paid and left.
The car ride was awkward. "Put your heads down. Angel new the drill. She laid down on the floor of the car. I climbed in the little space in front of the passenger seat. "Hey man." Derek said stopping the car. "You got my money bitch." Derek pulled out the $100. "You sure you ain't got no kids." He nods. "Man I swear I saw this little girl walking around here that kinda looked like you, she was trying to sell some glasses, and when I asked who her who father was she said she didn't have one." "I don't know man." "You probably got drunk and did one of these bitches, like Daniella little girl looked like her to." "Watch you mouth." "What.... Did you forget who your talking to." Derek put his hand on his gun. I looked over Angel she mouthed out. "I have to pee." "Hold it." She crossed her legs.
She can't hold pee to save her life. She peed all over her self. "Sorry." "Drive me to the liquor store." "I got business to take care of." "Did I ask you what you had to take care of." He said getting into the car. Derek began to sweat. "What the hell is this." He said referring to the liquid on the floor of the car.
He looked under the seat. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He looked her up and down. "You're to old to be pissing on your self don't you think." "I-I couldn't hold it." "Is Derek your father." "Yes." "Who's your mommy?" "Danny."He looked over the front seat to me. "Well guess what your daddy is a liar, you know what I do to liars?" He drew his gun. "BOOM!" That one ear splitting sound.
