Serpent

chapter 15-meeting her father

Ruka left me his friends leaving with him I cried green eyed held me
I was broken and rosie wouldn't stop crying
"Is this her"
"Yeah isn't it obvious that she is a girl"
He ignored my sarcasm and picked her up people would never believe me when I say she must have known who he was cause the minute he picked her up she gave a giggle like she knew she was gonna be his whole world
I couldn't stop crying I wanted Jacob I knew he was bad for me but he would change he promised me he would
Somehow I ended up sleeping on the bed with rosie next to me I remember becoming cold and shivering before being held protesting but becoming quiet in the safety of his arms
I remember saying Jacob finally you home and the arm tightening around me
Jacob was home but he cheated why would he cheat on me what is wrong with me that he would do something like that
I woke up with wet cheeks
And I will never forget the words Dwanye said to me it made me frozen
"She is mine isn't she" he said looking over at me before picking her up again somehow making that little girl smile more than I ever could
"Dont be silly"
"Why lie to me? You have only been seeing him for 6 months if I remember correctly takes more for a child to be born"
"She is not yours you weren't around for her "
"And the guy you chose was? Tell me was he around when he was so drunk he kissed another girl was he around when she was born and he didn't show up?"
"Get out Dwanye get out I want you gone"
"I am not leaving without her"
"I am not leaving her with you"
"Then I am staying"
I should have known then that the poison of a serpent stays in your blood forever and no matter how much your body fights it can't survive without a saving grace and he was my saving grace
