The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're okay.

R.T.B

The loud screeching of car tires echoed in my ears as a black posh limousine approached us in the park. It stopped right in front of us as a man came from the front of the limousine to open the back door of the limo as a man came out of it and trekked towards my dads and I in all his glory and novelty.He exuded power and confidence with every step he took.

"Who is that,dad?" I asked as I felt his pulse quicken at a fast pace due to the tight grip he had on my palm.His eyes filled with hatred,rage,and fear,total mixture of emotions as we stopped right in front of the man.Who was dressed in a white expensive suit.

"We meet again,John,it's been.......a while or am I mistaken ?"the stranger said to my dad out of sheer mockery.

Trying to be a bone of contention,dad said with b an eyebrow raised "What do you want Jackson?"

"This is the last draw Jackson,I can't take it anymore.It's been so many years since our last encounter so I want to make up for lost time" Jackson said.

"Stick to your guns Jackson,and tell me the main reason why you're here.Are you trying to provoke me.The hell you are. I know you very well like the palm of my hand.We've been friends Li.......like forever."dad said harshly.

"Are you trying to embarrass me in front of your little daughter who's barely 10 years old.For the love of our past friendship,stop embarrassing me."

He crouched down to my level and tried to hold my hands but I took a step back.

"Hello little one"he said,the man whom I presumed was Jackson said.

"Leave her be Jackson" dad yelled.

"Mac,can you give me a minute and go paly with Izzie back there,will you?" He asked nicely,like really like right now,I rolled my eyes.

"Ok daddy,but I ......" I trailed off as he gritted a"just go now".

How can I go and leave my dad with this .....this scary man' "grrrr".i thought.

"Stop butting into my personal life,you scumbag".

He laughed sarcastically,"you're such a cloven hoof , John.Anyways,I need to leave now because I've got a busy schedule." .A wicked smile forming on his lips.

"Time is money ,John"he teased.

Even though we were not financially stabled,we have enough food on our table to last us a life time.And though we had little.We were happy.

He cursed under his breath as the limousine disappeared around the corner and run back to where my dad was standing.

"Mac,come on let's get going and call izzie along."he motioned to our truck as he headed to the  parking lot.

'' Izzie"

"lets go "I motioned her with my hands.

"Coming"

I run towards the parking lot.I was almost near.

And I could hear the sound of the engine dropping.He started the car and it dropped again.He groaned and cursed out loud as I stood afar waiting for Izzie.

All I saw was red flames as I was shoved to the ground by a heavy amount of heat. I hit my head on the ground.I tried getting up but was all in vain,I felt tears in my eyes,about to fall on cheeks as I felt the heat that burned on my skin due to the explosion.

I screamed on top of my lungs at the sight in front of me.I run as fast as my short legs could allow me to,even though the  flames burned at my skin.

I run

Until I stopped as my eyes held the tears that fell.
