Love Is Dangerous

C9

It has been weeks, if not months that I have had a decent enough breakfast. My uncle finally stepped up and bought some real food. I found a thing of eggs, milk, juice and cereal when I went to look for food the next morning.

I was happy.

I made me a bowl of cereal then sat down at the table and ate. I had about half an hour until school started, and although I don't have my bike right now, Mark is taking me to school. But I'm not too sure on how he's going to get by with Williams here today.

They don't really like each other.

As I was eating, I heard noises coming from the stairs and I knew Williams must have been awake and I wish he wasn't. He's an ass in the mornings, not like he is everyday, but he's still an asshole.

He walks into the kitchen and we make eye contact as he walks over to the fridge and gets the milk gallon out. I continue to eat until he walks over to the table and stands on the other side. I look up at him as he's staring at me.

"What?" I question.

He sets the milk on the table and looks at me. "Let me ask you something." I stare at him, waiting for him to continue. "Do you think I'm an idiot?" He asks.

I watch him for a moment as I shrug. "It depends."

I could see that he didn't like that answer. "Tzuyu, I'm not as stupid as you think I am. You think I don't know when you fuck up? Or when you go out and leave without my permission?"

"When do I need your permission?" I ask.

He places both hands on the table as he leans forward. "When you live under my roof, you obey my rules." He stares at me. "I'm not fucking stupid, Tzuyu! You're either going to get in trouble or get yourself killed one day." He said. "By the way, where's the bike?" He asks.

"It broke down." I say. "Your stupid ass mechanic can't fix shit!"

He stares at me. "No, you know what it is?" He asks. "You're riding it every damn where!"

"So what?" I question. "It's mine!"

He straightens back up but continues to look at me. "There's another thing. That bike is giving you too much freedom. You think you can do whatever the hell you want because you have the keys, but that's all about to end." He says.

"You won't do shit." I said. "Since when do you ever care? You go out and do stupid shit, but yet I'm the bad guy?"

He slams his hands on the table. "I'm an adult! I can do whatever the hell I want! You're still illegal and you're still my property!" He yells.

It was taking everything in me to not jump over this table and strangle him. I hate when he prefers me as his property, like I'm not a fucking human being. It makes me more mad to have him yell in my face to tell me the same shit over again, which I already know.

I stand up. "Whatever." I say as I grab my bowl and throw it in the sink. I walk out of the kitchen as I heard him right behind me.

"Where are you going?" He asks as I step towards the door.

I turn to look at him. "School."

He crosses his arms. "Who's taking you?"

"Nobody. I'm walking." I lied. I shoot him a peace sign then walk out the door and slam it behind me.

My uncle pisses me off more everyday and I've had enough of his stupid ass. I wish I could just leave, but where the hell am I going to go? I have money, but not enough to rent a place. I sure as hell don't have enough to pay bills and shit like that.
