I could feel Dave drilling a hole in the side of my face.
"Miss Lawrence. Who do you think did this?" The officer asked again.
"Oh Eva look Troy is here." Amanda said causing me to look in his direction.
"First lady what happened?" He asked acting concerned once he reached us.
"Somebody broke in and ruined the entire Church." She explained. "Officer this is one of the deacons of the Church." She introduced.
"How you doing?" Troy shook his hand.
"Miss Lawrence. Can you answer my question? Who could have done this?"
"I don't know." I answered.
"You just told me you did."
"Yes. I know it was one of the young boys from the neighborhood but I don't know who exactly." I answered. "Im sorry I have to go. Momma I'll call you later." I said walking back to my car. Dave and I got inside and he drove to my house. The ride was silent I could tell he was pissed off. Once we parked my car in the garage I stormed inside.
"Yo What The Fuck?! I Just Told Yo Ass What Tf Was Up!" Dave yelled coming inside slamming my door.
"Am I Really Supposedly To Sit Back And Act Like I Don't Know He Ruined EVERYTHING My Father Worked For?!" I yelled back
"Yes! Because Next Time It Won't Be A Damn Building. Its Gone Be You Or Someone You Love. I Told You That Shit To Keep You Safe And It Was Stupid As Hell For You Go Say That Shit."
I just stood there looking at him.
"You Better Hope That Didn't Piss Him Off Some More. Let Me Go Fix This Shit Before It Get Out Of Hand. STAY HERE ! Dont Leave This Damn House. Do You Hear Me?" He yelled before snatching his keys off the key hook. "Do You Hear Me?"
"YES." I yelled back.
He walked out the door slamming it behind him.
From there tears ran down my face. I was so pissed that he really ruined all my fathers hard work because I told him he couldn't preach anymore. I was even more pissed at Dave for not allowing me to tell what happened.
"Who the hell does he think he is?" I said to myself "Im leaving this damn house."
I grabbed my keys and walked out the house and got into the Escalade. I drove around the corner to August's. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"What's up mom?" Justin said opening the door.
I hugged him "Hey baby."
"Where's your sisters?"
"Oh they at the movies with Ashley." He said sitting back on the couch.
"August?" I asked
"Out there in the studio." He answered.
I walked through the kitchen and out the back door to the studio.
"Hey." I spoke.
"Hey. I thought you wasn't coming back till tonight."
"I wasn't but someone broke into my dads' church so my trip got cut short."
"Damn. Is it bad?" He asked concerned.
"Yes. Its a complete gut job to fix everything." I responded.
"Damn."
"What you up to?" I changed the subject.
He smacked his lips. "I gotta give my label something before the end of the week and ion got nothing."
"Well I heard you playing around with something when I walked in. Let me hear it."
