My Daddy's Little Thug

Chapter 6

India POV

I walked slowly onto the porch, and I knocked on the door softly. Loud enough for her to hear me though. I stepped back, and as soon as she saw me she pulled me into a hug.

"Oh come here,"she said bringing me into a tight hug. I just laid my head on her shoulder, and didn't let q tear slip down from my face. I'm just so tired of crying every night! I was crying even before my dad....you know.

"Grandma I can't go back there! She's gonna kick me out! She hates me, she hates me! I can see it in her eyes! It hurts m-

"Your momma does not hate you! Remember this, is she hated you would you still be here? She's just going through a phase India. Listen to me, your Daddy was a good man. This isn't your fault. I'm Happy that you've stopped crying. You have to be strong for everyone else,"my grandma said. She sat me down on the couch and we just sat there. We sat there in silence, comfortable silence. I guess she's right. I have to be strong. If I can't do that for myself, the least I can do is be strong for my little siblings.

"Do you think if I didn't ask to come over, he would be dead? "I asked. She turned her attention towards me and combed through my hair.

"Don't start jumping to conclusions. Never question what anything happens. If Kelvin saw you like this, he wouldn't be Happy. Your grandpa is upstairs in the room, go see what's you with him for me."I nodded my head and kissed her cheek. I got up from the couch and made my way up. I knocked on their door, and when it didn't open I opened the door. He was sitting on the bed holding q picture of my Daddy.

"Hey paw paw, "I said. He looked up at me and motioned me to sit next to him. I sat down on the bed and he instantly pulled me into q tight hug. He cried on my shoulder, and held him till it felt like I lost all the strength in me. "It's gone be alright. You still have me, and your other grand children. We will never leave you or grandma. Y'all are the only piece of strength that I have in me to keep me from pulling back. Granny said I had to be strong for everybody. I'm gonna be strong for you. I know grandma feels pain, I know you do to. After uncle TJ left to go back to Dallas, Texas y'all was hurt. I can't imagination losing another child. But what I can imagine is losing a father. I love all of my family. I love em all,"I told him.

I kissed him the cheek and got up to leave. I shut the door behind me. I went back downstairs and seen just grandma sleep on the couch. I put a blanket on her and gave her one last kiss know the cheek. I grabbed much purse and keys, and walked out of the house. I went quickly towards my car, and I got inside. I sat there for a while and then left.

I walked quietly into the house and up to my room. I sat all my stuff down on the chair, and then I got in the bed. I pulled the covers over me and went deeply inside the covers. I closed my eyes tightly and just imagined that it was all a dream. I would just imagine that it was all false and I would wake up to hear the Voice of my dad. I laid there and kept imagining, until I fell asleep....

"Daddy your home! "I heard someone yell. I jumped up from bed, and I ran downstairs to see No one there but a tall man.

"DAD! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! "I yelled. I ran downstairs but when the man turned around, he wasn't my Daddy. He had on a suit, but he had on a badge. A police badge. I stopped smiling and just stood there embarrassed. My sister ran down and when she saw him, her face fell to. I looked around and then I ran back upstairs. I slammed my door and began screaming. I threw everything off my wall, off my dresser, I broke glass, my lamp, I threw my phone at the wall, my clothes out the closet were on the floor, I went inside the bathroom and threw just makeup set across the room. I slid down on the wall and just began screaming out of frustration.
