I'll Get You Back (Bendystraw/Cendy Story)

Ch.6

Narrator POV

Cuphead was keeping busy working on a few things in the bar when Oswald called his name saying he had a call. Hearing him, he put down his rag and went over to the phone to answer.

"Yeah? What?!"

Moving forward to Cuphead who was now in the principals office with Gracie. The principal held a joint as he looked at Cuphead with disappointment.

"Drugs are one thing that is strictly prohibited on these school grounds Mr. Cup." The principal explained setting it on the desk. Cuphead shook his head saying he knew.

"We tried to call her mother but no one answered." He explained clasping his hands.

"Yeah I see. Gracie where'd you get this from?" Cup asked picking it up and gesturing it in his hand to her.

"Sammy.." Gracie softly muttered as she looked away. Feeling utter shame, and fear from what she had done she could barely look at her dad who was obviously disappointed. Making her father unhappy because of something like this made it harder for her to hold back her tears. But what choice did she have?

"Sammy gave you this?"

"Who's Sammy?" The principal asked.

"Sammy's her mothers boyfriend." Cup explained as he felt anger but kept his cool. "Gracie what are you doing with this? Huh?! Did you lose your mind?!" Cuphead exclaimed but didn't yell. Finally Gracie looked at Cup with tears streaming down her cheeks. Cups heart went soft seeing his precious little girl with such a hurt face.

"I don't want you to die!" She cried. Cuphead furrowed his brows.

"What are you talking about?" He asked confused.

"Sammy said if I didn't do it he was gonna get someone to take you out. Sammy's crazy dad he'll do it. I know he will." Gracie said looking down as Cup rubbed her back telling her it was okay. Outside the door of the office their was a commotion rising and Cup could make out the sound of Alice's voice. As if on cue Alice barged into the office extremely pissed off.

"Didn't I tell you not to call him!? These are my kids! He has no rights to my kids!" She said sternly pointing at Cuphead like he was some ugly animal. Sammy and his little gang came in behind her and stood behind all of them in the small office. Cuphead felt anger fill him as he gripped the joint nearly crumbling it.

"Did you give this to my daughter to sell!?" Cuphead yelled.

"Is this punk talking to me?" Sammy asked nonchalantly.

"No, I don't think so." Alice said as if warning Cup who proceeded to stand up and ask again shoving the joint into his face. This caused the other men to grab Cuphead allowing Sammy to put Cuphead into a chokehold. Gracie tried running to me, but Alice grabbed her jacket holding her back. To keep my daughter safe I didn't struggle against Sammy's grip. I felt my head becoming light and breathing tight as he tightened his arm to my neck. Gracie cried in fear seeing me this way.

"Listen here Cup, do yourself a favor. Live. If you keep coming at me like this there wont need to be a trial you here?!" He asked letting me go. Alice lost grip of Gracie as she ran into my arms crying hard.

"Its okay Gracie I'm okay." I said lifting her face up. She gripped my vest for my work outfit tightly.

"Please daddy I want to go with you." She cried out as I held her face trying to calm her. Alice once again grabbed Gracie by her jacket pulling her back. I glared trying to get her to stop grabbing her like that. The principal tried to get us all to stop, but there was no need. Alice took Gracie out the door with Sammy and his men following right behind. I looked down breathing furiously. I slammed my hand on the desk as I sat down feeling frustrated. I need to get my girls back. I need to.
