My Own Happy Ending

Chapter 15

Samuel

I open the door to reveal my father clad in a tuxedo and his usual frown and a half empty glass bottle. His eyes are red and I keep the door close to my body as to not show Nicole inside. I smirk at my father.

"What ever can I do for my lovely father?"

He frowns even deeper and slurs, "you know what you can do for me boy. You can go fuck yourself!!"

Painting my face in nonchalance I say,
Oh yeah sure I'll go do that anything else?"

He grins, the scariest grin I've ever seen. Its the grin before does something.

"You know boy I don't like your attitude," his face fills with distaste and he glances at the door ,"what are you hiding?"

He stumbles forward and into the door, knocking me aside. I turn around and he's staring at Nicole. "Well aren't you pretty one..."

Nicole looks at my father then to me.

Don't say anything Nicole. I plead her with my eyes and she nods her head and looks at my drunken father.

Thinking of Nicole being infested by his touch or even his voice setting a bad taste in my mouth, I walk to them and in front of Nicole blocking my fathers hand from touching Nicole.

I'm no longer smiling. "Get out." I say in a low voice. If looks could kill id be six feet under. He grounds out," what did you just say?" Hes practically whispering by how low his voice is.

I take a step towards him and open my mouth to say it again but I feel a hand on my bicep that was tight with nerves. I turn around to face her and look away from my father.

Next thing I know is an explosion of pain in my face from the right hook my father just gave me. I hear a gasp come from behind me.

I don't know why I'm surprised I saw it coming even before my dad barged in. I guess I thought that he wouldn't cause we had company and we were supposed to be "the perfect family." Although that's never stopped him before.

I close my eyes and take a breathe through my nose and out my mouth, open my eyes and look at my father.

I touch the already growing black eye, then ball my hands up and my father taunts me. "Are you gonna hit me? Come on. Hit me. COME ON!! HIT ME!!" He spits in my face and I feel it going down my face and I just stand there, staring at the man in front of me.

Suddenly he's laughing and laughing, taking all the oxygen from the air and I think I can see the particles going through his open mouth and nostrils. "You aren't gonna do a FUCKING thing cause you're a coward just like your mother was and that's all you're ever gonna be, a self serving, coward son of a bitch," he gets closer to my face and whispers, "be like your mother and kill yourself."

Then, he lurches forward and covers his mouth and runs out the room to puke in my bathroom.

Taking this time to get away from him, I stomp from the room and I go to my car. I hear Nicole following quickly and silently.

I climb into my mercadis and in my peripheral vision I see Nicole scramble in and before she even closes the door I'm speeding out of the driveway and away from my dad.

I don't know where I'm driving but I hear Nicole. "Take a right." I comply simply because I have no where else to go.

I grip the steering wheel till I think my skin is going to snap at the knuckles.
