For The Love Of A Daughter

Chapter Nine

Alli and I just laid in bed cuddling and watching TV. Then I thought of something to do.

"Get up!" I said,

"I'm gonna take you to a special place that I like to go to when I just need an escape"

"Um, alright. Can I shower first?"

"Yeah but make it quick" I said.

"Okay" she replied getting up to go to the bathroom with a change of clothes. As soon as I heard the door click I jumped up quickly and packed a picnic. I hurried and took it out to the car. I left the house unlocked cuz I was only outside for less than five minutes. When I came back into the house I heard things shattering. What the fuck? I ran upstairs to the bathroom and saw the door had been busted down. There in the corner Alli was curled in a ball sobbing. She was trying to shield her face and a large man was hovering over her.

"Ahem" I said. The man turned around.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked.

"I was going to ask you the same thing, considering this is MY house" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"You kidnapped my daughter!"

"Alli ran away because you hurt her constantly" he tried putting on a smooth composure. He's a con artist.

"Look," he started,

"She likes to tell stories. I assure you, I have never hurt her" I slapped him. He grabbed me by the throat and slammed me into the wall. I swung at the side of his neck, hitting a nerve causing him to release me. I threw him down to the ground.

"Listen to me! You can get the FUCK out of my house now, or I can have you ESCORTED out and thrown in jail. YOU choose!" he had a scared look on his face. I take it no one has ever stood up to him before.

"Fine!" he started and I let him up.

"Stay away from my girlfriend" I said. He laughed.

"I don't want to have to put up with that little emo piece of shit anyways. Especially now that I know shes also a FAG. She's the most pathetic girl you'll ever meet. I bet the little piece of shit is already cutting herself" he smirked and walked out. I flicked him off. I ran to Alli's side and immediately noticed fresh new cuts.

"He didn't do those ones.. Did he?" I asked. Choking back tears. She shook her head no and collapsed into my arms.

"Shh.. it's okay love. He's gone and never going to come back. I'll call Max right now and have him get a restraining order for you. Just to make sure" I dried her tears away and held her close as she nodded a yes in agreement.

"Did he do anything to you?" she held our her wrists and there were bruises and grip marks.

"He hurt my heart too..." She whispered to me.

"I was wrong about not being able to fix hearts love. And I will fix yours" she held me tighter against her.

"Now c'mon" I said. I took her hand and grabbed my guitar. Then I led her to the car and got in, starting the long hour and a half drive.
