Wait For Me

11. Bad Decisions

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was super busy the past couple of days. There was a death in the family. So I had a wake and a funeral to go to. I am also about to start work in a few weeks. On top of everything I am trying to get my baby in school.  Vote, comment, and most importantly ENJOY!!!!!! SN: I have not re-read it so its not edited.

Nine times out of ten, I am a terrible liar. But this is my one shot at acting. If I don't get this right, I don't know where my fate lies. They say that a huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point. What ever that means. I'm just combing my brain for some courage. Yea, I'm grasping at straws here. Sometimes I wish I was a skillful liar, it's safe to say I'm not following in my fathers footsteps.

Here goes. Wait, wait, wait. I have to prepare for this.

I should just say, I was being chased by a killer or something. Nah, that's lame. Maybe it would be best to use something that would appeal to his softer side, if he has one. Scratch that one too, he doesn't have a softer side, only in my dreams. I just have to think like my dad on this one. I can see his face right now, looking at me pointedly as if to say "I know I taught you better than this." A voice breaks me out of my thoughts.

"Anytime this year, Mrs.Daisy." He says with absolute seriousness.

"You traumatize me, threaten, and Guilt trip your brother into letting you speak with me privately. Then you hurl an insult at me!" I say pushing him. I can feel my anger start to show. I have had enough of being afraid of this brainless, spineless, asshole of a monster.

I start to Yell Eli's name, but I feel a hand clamp over my mouth.  I feel myself being pushed up against the wall. It doesn't hurt, but my fear is coming back. It's not only the fact that he's bigger and stronger than me. But he could be a whole different species which makes him 10 times stronger.

"I am sorry. There I said I would apologize. I never said I wouldn't hurt you though." He said in a low voice. He's looking at me dead in the eyes. So he sees when my eyes widen in a panic.

"Calm down Rose, I promised to take you home. That's exactly what I am about to do. I'm done having you in my house tainting everything." He says taking his hand from off of my mouth.

I touched my lips with my fingers. Then look at him then wiped my mouth with my arm. To show him that I think that his hands are probably filthy.

He just looks at me with his usual expression and says "on the car ride home you can answer my previous questions. Plus the new ones that just came up like how and why are you traumatized by me when I have not don't anything to you? Yet. Also when did I threaten you? Was it in your dream? What did I say specifically? Yea how about you think on that. But don't take too long. We both know I am a very impatient Neanderthal right?." He says looking at me like he knows all the answers to his own questions but wants to hear it from the horses mouth.

See there's no point in trying to deny the dream, premonition, or whatever it is. He's not so subtly telling me. It's like he daring me to acknowledge what happened in the dream. I just realized some totally crazy. If he had the same dream as me, does that mean we are connected somehow? I'm so confused right now.

At this point, there is no point in lying. I'm just going to pretend I'm sleep and hope he forgets about his particular line of questioning. I'm tired from the stressors of today. Some sleep would be lovely right now.

How about he explain how he already knows what I dreamt of or the fact that he knows my middle name. Why is he even pressing the issue. It doesn't matter what I say to him the truth or a lie. What the HELL is HE going to do about it? Erase my memory? Kill me? Wait with what I know, those two things might just happen. I mean stranger things have been known to happen. I technically do have magic in my blood. I am part witch for crying out loud.
