(Chapter 5)(on the move)
She was moving her arms. She was trying to crawl. I sat far away on the other side of the living room; on my stomach. I was propped up on my elbows .
She looked at me with her mothers hazel eyes.
" well come on baby!" I say. She moved her body towards me.
She used her arms to pull herself to me. "Come on, come on!" I say. I was scooting back as she was moving towards me. I was sitting up at this point. She grabbed my pant leg.
My buddies came in.
"Come on man let's go to the , what the fuck brant ?!" My friend says. " what?" I say. " the kid". He says. " what bout her?" I say.
"Man you could be out with us , but your in here with a screamin, drooling , little thing". He says.
" look man I ain't going to a bar, no more bars". I say. " that wreck just fucked you up didn't it, sucked all the fun outta you". He says. " you know , you can go without me, go get drunk and fuck whores all ya'll wanna alright, but I'm stayin with a good girl tonight." I say picking up Caitlin .
The guys left pissed.
I stood up and walked barefooted through the kitchen and Caitlin followed me as fast as she could pulling herself across the floor.
