Best Friend To The Very End

On The Warpath

'Where are you going!' Cooper yelled as he slammed the door shut behind him 'Hannah!'
'The hell away from you' Hannah shot back as she turned around and came back down the stairs
'Don't you speak to me like that' He said, getting annoyed
'I don't care'
'I've had enough of this Hannah'
'And you don't think I haven't for the last 4 years' She questioned 'You can't just walk in and act like my dad and treat mom the way you do'
'I've been more of a father to you than he ever has'
'You don't know shit!' She yelled back
'I know that jerk left you and your mother to move to Phoenix by yourselves'
'And what you're the big hero who saved mom, you know nothing' Hannah yelled 'And my dad is not a jerk, he actually cares about us'
'And I don't!?'
'No, all you care about is yourself and where you can get yourself. Like in bed with other women'
Cooper eyes narrowed and his fists began to clench 'That's a lie'
'Is it, what about when they used to show up at our front door in Phoenix and the secret phone calls you would hide from mom'
Cooper said nothing.
'Maybe now mom might believe me' Hannah snarled
'You're one smart ass remark away from getting it' Cooper argued, annoyed
'What are you gonna do about it?' Hannah replied, believing she was invisible
Cooper ran towards the staircase. Hannah turned around and ran up to her room, she began to panic knowing what he was capable of. She ran towards her room and tried to shut her bedroom door behind her, but before she had a chance Cooper was on the other side trying to keep it open.
'Get away from the door Hannah' He said, angrily
'No' She cried
In one swift push, Cooper put all his weight into the door, the edge hitting Hannah on the side of her face knocking her out of the way causing her to fall to the ground. Hannah quickly picked herself up of the floor
'Leave me alone' She cried
'I thought you were smarter than this Hannah. But then again you are his daughter' He said backing her up to the wall
'At least I'm nothing like you' She replied, hurt about what he said about Kelly
Cooper put his forearm under Hannah's neck, pinning her to the wall. Hannah began to panic. She looked across at her bed and saw he phone in the side pocket of her bag, just out of her reach. She looked back at Cooper.
'Do you have any idea of how hard the last 3 months have been, how you're just making it harder' He yelled
'You brought it all on yourself' Hannah replied blankly
Cooper began to grit his teeth. He pushed her against the wall, harder. She began to struggle to breathe. She could feel herself getting dizzy. She saw the time on her alarm clock, any minute now her mom would be home, to save her.
'You're threats don't work anymore, you're all talk. Do what you want to me, but don't you lay a finger on my mom' Hannah threatened, showing her inner Severide
There was a noise from down stairs. Hannah looked towards her bag again
'Hannah? Cooper?' Katherine called out 'You guys home'
She looked back at Cooper and then at her bag. She tried to push herself away from the wall and out of Coopers grip. He felt her move and realized she was going for her phone. He tried to stop her. Hannah put her arm out and reached for her bag. Cooper tried to pull her away so she spun her other arm around and hit him in the face, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground, making a loud thud. In the time she had Hannah reached for her phone and ran out her bedroom door and down the stairs
'Mom!' Hannah cried as she ran down the stairs
'Han? What's going on?'
'Hannah!' Cooper yelled as he came down the stairs
Hearing him coming Hannah ran for the front door to escape and call her dad. Her real dad, the one who actually cared about her. Katherine turned around to follow her daughter.
'No you don't' Cooper yelled as he reached for Katherine's hair and pulled her back. Katherine cried in pain. Hannah turned around and watched as Cooper pulled her mom by her hair and put her in a head lock.
'You go any further out that door, and it will be the last time you see your mom' He threatened
Hannah looked at her mom. She could see the fear in her eyes. Hannah closed the door behind her.
'Good, now give me your phone'
'No' Hannah replied
'Now!' Cooper yelled
'Just do it Hannah, please' Katherine begged
Hannah hesitantly handed her phone to Cooper who, in a fit of rage, threw Katherine and Hannah's phone against the wall.
'Mom!' Hannah yelled as she ran towards her mom.
Cooper grabbed Hannah by the arm, pulling her back 'Try a stunt like that again and it won't end so well' He threatened
Hannah didn't say anything. Cooper let go of her arm and stormed out the front door. They heard a car's engine start in the driveway and speed off into the distance. Hannah crawled over to her mom, still sitting on the ground. 'Mom. I'm sorry' Hannah cried hugging her mom
'It's OK sweetie' She reassured, cradling her daughter.
