Stuck on Stupid

Chapter 10

"What the hell happened to your face Daja" Bre pointed out.

"Some hoe must've cut me" I said.

"I'm giving you permission to beat her ass tomorrow at school, someone go clean up her face" Nina fussed.

"I actually have to go there" I said.

"I'll do it" Bre said. Then I heard someone banging on the door.

"Who's that?" I asked as we walked to the bathroom.

"Most likely police Carl, not the first time this happened" Bre said.

"I got it, act normal" Nina yelled. Bre cleaned up my face and I went back in the living room and sat on the couch. I came in mid conversation, of Nina talking to the police at the door.

"We didn't do anything it was the kids" I heard her say.

"I heard y'all got 4 more kids in here" he said trying to look in the house

"Duh one is your daughter" Nina mumbled.

"Nedaja here!" he yelled. She tried to quiet him down. "No I will not be quiet!" He said.

"Nedaja someone's at the door for you" she said.

"Nina do I have to talk to him" I yelled.

"Why do you think I called you to the door" she said to me. I went outside the door and closed it.

"the hell happened to your face" Carl said.

"Why should I tell you, you left me and my mom when i was only 4 and had her all depressed and she started doing crack, almost selling my body for that stuff, apparently you don't give 2 shits about me" I said.

"I do care about you Nedaja" he said calling me by my full name.

"Oh really? what's the real reason why you came here" I said. He mumbled something. "What I can't hear you" I yelled to him

"Cuz i got a call saying there was a fight happening here again" he said clearly.

"My point exactly, you only care about your stupid job that's all you cared about Carl my real dad is Clifford cuz he was there for me, and don't ever try and walk into my life again" I walked towards the door.

"I'm sorry Nedaja" he said hurt and I closed the door in his face.
