Tough Love

His Dad

I finally gain consciousness and I open my eyes, my head is throbbing in pain, I look around and see my mother strapped to a chair next to me, a piece f other covered my face. A man stood in front of me.
"Ah........Mary is this your little brat you call your daughter". He looked directly at me, I just stared into his eyes.
"Jax get me the baseball bat"
"Yes sir". I stare at Jax and he stares back, if give him a pleading looking but he just walked away. I tried to manoeuvre my way out of the chair but it didn't work, he came back with the baseball bat and handed to the man.
"So Mary you give me the money or I kill your daughter, what's it going to be". He pulled the cloth of mums mouth.
"I told you I don't have the money I'll pay you when I get it, please don't hurt her"
"Kill her it is". He swung the bat ready to hit me, I got ready for the pain.

Jax stood out in front of me.
"Don't hit her"
"GET OUT THE WAY". Jax punched him in the face making him tumble to the ground, he turned around and started to untie me, I got up and ran to mum and started to untie her, I turned around to see the man getting up, Jax's Dad. I grabbed mum by the hand but she wouldn't move.
"MUM WE NEED TO GO"
"honey I love you, but this is my fight, now run". Jax runs back to me and grab my hand, I look over to see the baseball bat on the floor, I pick it up and run to Jax. We run to the front door but it's locked, we ended up running to my room and hiding in the closet. I started to cry.

I heard a gun shot coming from downstairs. Mum. Footsteps shorty follow coming up the stairs, I covered my mouth and look at Jax, he looked back and kissed me I pulled back and looked away. The footsteps have now entered my room, I hold up my bat ready to hit him. I run out and hit him in the stomach but he grabs me by the neck and pushes me to the wall, Jax comes out the closet and punches him in the face multiple times, he releases me from his grasp and I fall to the floor. Jax grabs my hand and we run downstairs through the kitchen, I stop in the middle and stare at my mums lifeless body in the chair.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, MY MUM IS NOW DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU......WHY". I fall to the floor.

Jax picks me up like a baby and runs out the back door to the woods, I cry into his chest while his running.
"You can drop me now, I can run". He drops me and grabs my hand and we start running deeper and deeper into he woods. We find an awfully large bush and hide behind it. I cuddle up next to Jax because it was winter and it was freezing.
"Hey......um I want to say I'm sorry for everything."
"But why did you do it, I don't have a mum anymore because of your stupid stupid dad"
"my dad is a drug dealer and your mum didn't pay for months so he wanted me to get close to you so he could use you I guess". I sat there in silence looking into his eyes and I kissed him, a passionate kiss, a kiss that meant something to me.
"Your the only thing left of me and I love you"
"I love you too". I rested my head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
