FRED CARLTONS POV

2007-
She let go of my arm ran out back. I couldn't tell her no! Her puppy dog eyes always worked on me. "Hey hun, where's Aero?" Miranda came out with Parker who was practically latched to her side. "She ran out back." I smiled at her. "You let her go by herself? Jesus Christ Fred she's only 7!" She yelled at me. I rolled my eyes and apologized. "Parker do you want to come outside and play?" She looked down and asked him. He shook his head no.
"Alright then. Stay here with daddy. I'll be outside with sissy."
He let go of her and she shut the door behind her when she left. "Hey Park, what do you want to do?" I turned and asked him. He shrugged his shoulders.
His lips looked chapped like normal, and he licked his lips to give them moisture.
"Well I have a little idea." I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards his room.

"But I want to play too!" Aero insisted. "You're going grocery shopping with you mom and that's final!" I yelled at her. She always had to throw these hissy fits. I just want alone time with my son!
"Okay come on sweaty." Miranda took her hand. "I'm a big girl now mommy I don't need to hold you hand." Aero tore away. "Fine fine. Parker be good for daddy and we'll be back in a couple of hours."
"It's not fair that Parker gets to stay with Daddy." I heard Aero mumble as the left.
I took a big sip of my beer and stood up. I went to the fridge for another one but i had none left. "Shit." I whispered to myself.
"You're not supposed to curse in front of us. Mommy says it's a bad influence." Parker startled me. "Jesus I just about crapped myself. Don't sneak up on me."
He turned around and walked down the hallway. I looked at the clock, which read 4:03.
I have time.
I followed him down the hallway and into his room.

"I'm sure he has a reason." Aero tried to cover for him. "I don't give a damn about what he reason is. He should have come home, straight from school like we all discussed." I paced back and forth. "Today of all days."
Just please don't do anything you may regret..." She pleaded. What did she just say to me?

"We are done here. Go to your room. Now!" I demanded. She didn't move. "Are you deaf!" I ran over and grabbed her arm and ragged her to her room. "Dad please!" She cried out but I didn't care. "I threw her in her room and slid the lock over the door. Putting a lock on the outside of the door was the best thing I could have done. She pounded on the door but it doesn't don't budge. That's when I heard the front door open. I ran into the hallway. "Dad, I know your going to be-" I slapped him so hard across the face he fell onto the floor. "Today of all days? Did you hate your mother? Was she not good enough? You ditch us on her birthday!" I lifted him by the front of his shirt. I'm sick and tired of him taking everything for granted. "It was Ryan's birthday party today! He begged me to go!" He cried out. "I don't give a shit about your fake friends! You have a responsibility to come home! You
Understand me!" I screamed. I heard pounding from Aeros room getting louder, but ignored it. "I'll teach you." I mumbled let go of him. I unbuckled my belt and pulled it out of the rings of my pants. I dragged him by his arm to his room and shut the door.

2014-
"We have to go, now. Aero begged Parker. "We can't. He'll find us. He always does." He said. I don't like his voice like this. Over the past year his voice had gotten so much deeper, he was growing up and I didn't want him to. "Please. What's he gonna break next? Your other arm? Your legs? We have to get out of here before he does more damage. Every since mom died he went off the deep end!"
They still hadn't realized I was listening yet.
"Trust me it was long before mom died. He just started showing it toward you after she died.
"So where you gonna go?" I walked out of the hallway and into the living room.

"Daddy..." Aero started but I cut her off. "Seriously. You think you can make it on your own? You're nothing without me. By yourself you'll get kidnapped and raped." I laughed.
"We won't be alone. We'll have each other." She looked at Parker who was looking at the floor. "Oh but you see, Parkers not leaving, so you would be alone." I went over to Parker and put my hand on his shoulder. I could feel his body shaking just though my one hand. Wimp.
"Parker let's go." Aero picked up her bag and walked towards the door. When Parker didn't move, she turned back around and looked at him.
"Parker please!" She begged with a tear rolling down her face.
"I told you, he's not leavi-" I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I looked down to see a kitchen steak knife in my stomach, and Parker's hand on it. "P-p-p-" I could barley speak.
My on son betrayed me. He ripped it out and I fell to the ground. "Let's go!" Parker yelled running towards the door.

2016-
"Over crowding." I chuckled a little. "Really? I wonder why they didn't let my dad out of the joint too."
Trevor you're a dumbass.
"Maybe because he was convicted of 5 murders. He was a good guy though. A nice cell mate." I said.

"Anyway, everything is set in place. I have it all figured out. Hand me one of those notebooks." I pointed at the shelf. "Man there's like a 1000 books in here!" He looked around. "The giant black leather one." I pointed again.
My children are going to pay for all the pain they've caused me. My fathers cabin was a good secluded place to work everything out. They are going to regret letting me down, if it's the last thing I do.
