Anger,
the feeling of hatred towards a person that caused you pain.
Rose POV
The man who entered the room had dark hair combed back. He had almost the same hazel eyes as Vincent, but not as enticing.
He wore a black suit, his tie hanging loss around his neck. It made me wonder where he was coming from. Work maybe? But it was already so late.
I scanned him throughly. By the looks of it, he was probably Vincent's dad. It wouldn't take a genius to figure that out. He was the spitting image of Vincent in 10 to 20 years from now! If that's how Vincent turns out, he shouldn't complain, his dad was pretty good looking for his age. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"What the hell were you thinking??" His father had a deep voice, hard to ignore. "You destroyed a house with a bulldozer! You trespassed on private property and put another human being in danger!! Son when are you going to learn?!? You could go to jail for 15 years for all of this!! If I wasn't here you'd be locked up by now!!" He continues to yell down at Vincent who didn't seem to be listening. At least his father seemed to care. Which makes me wonder who Vincent takes after.
"What the hell were you thinking Vincent?!?" His father screams.
"Fuck you! I never asked you to bail me out" Vincent yells. I gasped at the way he spoke to his own father. I want to tell Vincent to stop but I'm in no place to tell him what to do and I have a feeling he'll just turn his anger onto me and I would really much rather not get involved with that.
"Vincent!!" There was so much anger in his father's voice I almost thought I was imagining it when his face didn't match his anger. His father looked at him grimly, but there was something else there. Worry?
"What am I going to do with you?" His father demands.
Vincent chuckles darkly. "How about you just go home to your fucking whore"
Whore?
His father's anger returns. "If you don't stop this I'll―"
"What? You're going to do to me what you did to her!?!" Vincent threatens with gritted teeth. He looked at his father mockingly as if he was challenging him. "I fucking dare you!" He spits out.
My eyes widened in shock hearing the disrespect in his voice.
His father's expression changed from anger to slightly sympathetic but I didn't understand whether he was pitying his son or something else. He shook his head, frowning to himself.
"I would have never told you if I knew you'd act out like this." His father whispered regretfully.
Slowly, Vincent's father turned his attention to officer Jones sighing deeply. "What happened to the girl?" He asks.
I suddenly stiffened. Officer Jones eyes were on me and I instantly had the itching feeling to hide.
Vincent's father turns around slowly facing me with clear surprise. I guess he didn't expect me to be standing just a few feet away from Vincent. Given he just destroyed my house and all, he probably expected me to be too afraid of him, that I wouldn't even go an inch near his son. Well he was wrong.
"Miss Pierce is it?" He asked in a calm tone. He was definitely more polite than his son.
I nod my head.
"Are you alright Miss Pierce? I heard you got hurt." He gestured at my arm. His caring attitude surprises me. Maybe the apple does fall far from the tree, or in Vincent's case...very far away from the tree.
Vincent's head abruptly turns to me, his eyes on my bandaged arm. Oh sure now he wants to see the damage he's done.
I couldn't read his expression but he almost looked guilty. I'm completely surprised, but as soon as his eyes look away he scowls and then rolls his eyes. Wow. I mentally slap myself for even thinking for a second that he might have actually cared if he hurt me or not.
I turned to his father ignoring him. "I'm fine." I say to Vincent's father.
He smiled kindly. "I'm thankful to hear that. My name is Richard Hale, you can call me Richard. I apologize on behalf of my sons behavior tonight. He was drunk and was showing off to his friends." He frowned at his son. Vincent just glares at his father. I could tell he was holding in another chuckle.
He turned to officer Jones. "Please take my son home. I'll take care of everything."
Officer Jones grabbed Vincent but Vincent harshly pushed officer Jones away as he walks off alone. Officer Jones followed behind him anyway, shaking his head. I frown in an instant at what I was seeing.
They can't be serious!
He's just going to go like that? No punishment? Nothing?!?
