Jacob's P.O.V.
'Dad you can't go! I told you this with discretion, I-'
'Jacob you have no idea how serious this is!' My dad waved his arms in the air like a lunatic. I knew he couldn't get himself over what he had just heard, he hadn't even let the words sink in yet but his rage was built on them nonetheless.
'No you have no idea. Okay?!'
It wasn't how I had hoped it would go, I had just wanted to spill it to someone, these feelings I had been struggling with for awhile now.
Though I knew that wasn't really why I had phoned my dad and mentioned the whole thing. I did it in my rage against the one I was supposed to love. I somehow hoped my dad would get so pissed at Lilly, as pissed as I was.
Yeah, was...
It was only when my dad started mentioning mum and the police that I realised I should've kept my mouth. Not to let Lilly struggle with her own battles but because I knew better than all of them that guy was impulsively dangerous.
'Jacob the guy is a f*cking criminal! Do you realise what that is goddamnit?! He hurt you physically, that alone is enough to lock him up. But this- this is way worse.'
'What did you expect then? You asked me yourself if it was real danger and you know it was! You said I could tell you no matter what it was, that you'd be there for me and that every problem was able to get solved. You promised me that.' I cried out, my temper was long lost and this was absolutely the first time me and my dad were in this kind of argue, almodt fight. But I wasn't surprised because this whole situation had brought the best and the worst in me before already.
'We are gonna solve it, that's why I'm going to the police.'
'That's not solving anything. That's risking, no, ruining Lilly and Emmalin's life and you know it.' I spat through gritted teeth.
'And risking others life would be fair? Jacob, your mum lives next to that freaking psychopath and she doesn't even acknowledges it.'
'It's not like he's some serial killer.' I muttered, out of words and not even knowing if mine were so correct anymore.
'You really don't get it huh? I thought, yeah okay so I thought it could be bad. I thought maybe he made her pregnant or maybe she gets abused by her father or I don't know. But he has a freaking gun Jacob, he can end people's life with one simple pull.'
'But he hasn't.' I stated dumbly.
'Are you seriously defending him?' I quickly shook my head.
I could feel tears prickle in my eyes just from the raging anger inside of me. I knew I couldn't burst out infront of him, he stays my dad after all. And I didn't want to get this argue reach some points that would be unchangeable.
'I just want Lilly to be safe, and Ava and Emmalin.' I sighed defeated. I scratched my arm as he looked at me to continue. Goddamnit, he knew there was more. 'And I don't want her to know that I broke her trust...' I muttered my selfish reason.
My dad sighed deeply as well and went to sit down on the couch. He was trying to calm himself down, I could tell.
He seemed to be pondering about what to say until his legs stretched out again as he stood up and walked back to me. To the spot next to the door where I had been standing nervously during that countless time span.
'You're choosing your own sillly teenager relation over other people's, innocent people's lives. People like your mother. You're defending a high-rank criminal just because you think it could fix your broken relationship? I hope you'll finally think about what's right Jacob. This is not how your mother and I have raised you. This is how you became under that roof of violence.' He slammed the hoteldoor shut behind him.
