To Good To Be True

chapter 9

Alissa Pov

Its been five whole minutes and my dad has not yet said one word or moved a single muscle and I'm starting to have a little panic attack because I feel at any given moment all hell is going to break loose. Chres has not did or said one thing either and I stood there staring at my dad whose staring off into space thinking about who knows what. I don't want to be the first to say something knowing he's mad as hell at me but I am not going to stand here all day either. As I opened my mouth to speak, chresanto's phone began to ring, blasting his rap music throughout the room, breaking the silence. I glance at chres who's digging in his pocket, quickly silencing his phone and shoving it back in. He looked almost terrified so kept his head down not wanting to look ahead at my dad and at that moment I didn't want to either but being me, I did anyway. I briefly looked at my father to see his cold stare that made me extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help myself but to move around. I decided to close my eyes and count to five to keep myself from stressing so much and before I could fully open my eyes, my dad tackles chres to the floor sending powerful blows to his face. Chres doesn't fight back I'm guessing because he doesn't want to hurt him but is using everything in him to get my dad off of him. I was in totally shock and was frozen in my stance for about three seconds before trying to break them up.

"OH MY GOSH DAD STOP" I yelled pulling on his shoulder which didn't do much because he is still getting in good hits. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!" I began hitting his back with my weak punches, causing him no pain but did make him stop and glare at me. Chres groans in pain and tries sitting up. My dad gets off of him and began pacing around the room looking mad, disappointed, and sad all in one. I help chres onto his feet and wipe away the little blood coming from his lip.

"baby are you okay?" I asked rubbing up and down his arm. He began nodding his head yes while breathing heavily from what just took place not even a minute ago.

"Its okay babe I'm fi..."

"oh you won't be when I'm done with you, bastard." My dad cut him off while storming up to us. I put my hand on his chest and shoved him back a little and looked at chres who had his fist balled up and a clenched jaw. I figured he might get fed up at one point and begin to fight my dad back and I would do any and everything to prevent something like that from happening because I love them both and would die if I lost one of them. I'm hoping we can work this out and my dad would just forgive me already so the hard part could be over with but sadly it doesn't work like that.

"dad stop I'm sorry okay I didn't mean for this to happen." I said sobbing and looking directly in his eyes hoping he would understand while putting on my best innocent look. He just stares back not saying a word, his expression doesn't soften either and it makes me feel a little sick inside.

"Sir I understand that you're angry but there is nothing you can do now. She's having my baby an-(gco)

"Are you keeping.... It?" He questioned me not chres looking almost disgusted saying his whole sentence and I look down in shame while my heart shatters into a million pieces. First of all did he really think I would get an abortion ? And second I'm having a baby that my father would probably never in his life approve of because of how early I'm having it.

"Um yes sir." Chresanto responded for me. I know he saw how hurt I was but I could care less right about now. I can only pretend like I'm happy and smile for so long until I just finally lose it and break down.

"Excuse me but I wasn't talking to you I was talking to... Her!!" He referred to me so coldly and at that point I would have broken down but I feel like I have no more tears in me or enough energy left to react to what he said. Chres seems bothered by the way my dad was talking about me and whatever is about to go down, I am not about to stop because even though I made a mistake I learned my lesson too so he should still support me because at the end of the day I'm still going to be his daughter and I am still going to have this baby no matter what.
