Violence 101

Pay The Price

JACOB:

I wake up and scratch my head. I look over to see Anatasia and India hugged up. I kiss Ana's head and India's lips. Ana wakes up and rubs her eyes. I pick her up.

Me: Good Morning Princess.

Ana: Good Moring Daddy.

I look at her in shock and a tear slips out of my eye. I kiss her head and wipe my face.

Ana: Are we gonna wake mommy?

Me: Not yet. You wanna surprise mommy?

She nods. We both go downstairs and she helps me fix breakfast. India walks downstairs a I place Ana on the counter.

India: Oh wow. What's all this?

Ana: Me and Daddy fix food!

Her eyes widen and she looks at me. I nod. She walks over to me.

India: Daddy did, didn't he?

Me: Sure did.

We both laugh and I kiss her. She takes the spoon out of my hand and set it on the counter. I grab her waist and deepen the kiss.

Ana: Mommy and Daddy sitting in da twee! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!

We both laugh at her. I finish the food. We all sit there and eat. Ana made a mess and we laugh at her. I take a napkin and wipe her face. India takes honey an wipes it on my face. I look at her as she laughs. I put eggs in her hair. The three of us start to cover each other in food. Everyone else comes downstairs.

Mom: What the heck happened in here?

Me: Um see what happened was....

Titan: Look like you had a full out war. I guess you guys were having fun.

India: We'll clean it up. Sorry.

Mom: Baby I got it. You guys go clean up and I'll clean this up.

The three of us knock all the food off of ourselves into the trash and go wash up. When we finish we go into my room. I give India a pair of my sweats and she puts on her shirt. We wash Ana's clothes and we go back down. The kitchen was spotless.

Me: Thanks ma.

Mom: Youre welcome. Now you three need to go out for a little. Trashin my shit.

We laugh and leave. I take Ana's hand and India takes the other. We walk down the street and to the park. There, Ana runs off onto the playground. I look at India.

Me: You don't know how happy I was when that girl called me dad. Ive always wanted a kid so I could be why my father wasn't. A good father. Not beat them but prevent them from getting beaten. My father tortured me..... Every. Single. Day. Once he dragged me into the basement, left me for two weeks and made DJ watch as he fed me rotten food and beat me. I don't want you to choose the wrong man who will put my princess what I went through.

India: Youre already good to her. I really love you for th(gco)

Ana: MOMMY!!!!!!

We both look at her and someone had her by her hair. I get up and run over. The boy pulls out a gun and shoots me in my chest. I reach him but fall losing too much blood. He shoots me again and I hear India running. He points the gun to her.

Me: *crying* Please stop. Don't hurt her. Please d(gco)

BANG!!!!

He shoots me in the chest again and the stomach. I start coughing up blood and the boy drags her away.
