I sat at in the dinning room picking at the pizza Ben ordered a couple hours ago. I couldn't stop eating because then I started to worry. I sat there and prayed like I have been for the passed four hours. Jasmine came down from her room and jumped when she saw me.
"What are you doing up ? Where's uncle Ben ?" She asked grabbing a pizza out of the box. I didn't know if she knew so I shrugged." Dad isn't back yet ?" she asked and I shook my head.
She grabbed her pizza and sat next to me taking a bite." Don't worry too much uncle Ben wouldn't be here if something was wrong." She says and I sighed. I still didn't feel comforted. Something just didn't feel right to me.
"No for real uncle Ben is a savage but he's very spiritual. It's like god talks to him sometimes and trust me when I say I've seen it happen." She snorts." Like we had a conversation a week before you came and he asked about a new girl in dads life who's going to change him and I was like 'nah he still alone and bitter.' But the next week you showed up and my dad is nice as hell. I don't even know how I'm still breathing right now." She says grabbing another pizza.
"Yeah ?" I asked and she nodded.
"Got an even better one !" She says placing another pizza on my plate." So when I was ten my dad use to be real reckless to say the least. He use to deal with the wrong people. Uncle Ben felt it and had a million and one dreams about it. One day he took me to the park and his so called friends showed up with their guns out and I saw them before my dad did so when they started to shoot I jumped in front of him and got shot 13 times showing me some of the scars. "before my dad took the rest." She says but she held her hand up biting her pizza." Uncle Ben says it was like he could feel it so he rushed all over town looking for the two of us and once he found us my dad barely breathing and I was dead I felt it I saw god and everything but as soon as uncle Ben started to pray God smiled and told me ' he's your guardian angle' and touched me and I was back in my body. I couldn't feel anything though but uncle Ben saved us." She says with a smile plastered on her face. I didn't know what to say but that made me emotional. I now understood why Ben said what he said but I also felt more at ease.
"That's amazing." I say wiping my little tears.
"I worry about him too. I know God won't let him go unless he really wanted to but lately I don't know how he's been feeling. I know you're helping though." She smiles and I was lost again. The front door opened and shut and I bolted toward it hugging him as tight as I possibly could.
"Don't do that again." I say to him and he kissed my forehead. I looked up at him and he had a busted lip and a cut above his brow. I sighed and he kissed me before I could say anything.
"Go to bed jas." He says to her and she hopped up walking over to him kissing his cheek before going upstairs to her room.
"Are you hurt any where else ?" I asked him examining his face and he nodded his head. I looked at his stomach and he had blood all over him.
"I think it just grazed me." He says and my eyes watered but I held it in because I cry too much." Don't cry. I'm good baby I promise." He says softly and I nodded in response I pulled him in the direction of his room and went to his bathroom getting tweezers and alcohol knowing it was way more then a graze.
"Lay down." I say and he did as told taking his shirt off. I poured alcohol on the tweezers and finally looked at the wound and my poor baby was right it got him good though." You're right baby." I say and he gave me a smirk. While he was smirking I took the opportunity to pour the alcohol on it.
"Shit !" He yelled making me laugh." You supposed to warn me Danisha !" He yells. I shrugged my shoulders laughing and he chuckled shaking his head."that shit not funny." He chuckles I kissed him and went to get the princess bandaids he bought for me and he laughed seeing the box.
