My Ride or Die

Chapter 10

Hunter

3 PM finally came. I passed her again but instead of prying after her, I went out to the parking lot, turned on the engine, and left the building.

Cindy was right outside with her pink ribbons and princess lunchbox, just as in the morning. "Well hello there, Princess," I said as I scooped her up and gave her a big kiss.

I plopped her on my lap and was smiling. "How was school?", I asked. She suddenly turned quiet. "It was ok," she said quietly. I was confused. She's usually always happy to see me.

"What's wrong, Lucky Charm?" She stared at the ground and showed bruises on her legs and neck. My eyes widened and my anger boiled.

"What the hell? Who did this to you?!" I was livid. She put her head on my chest and started to cry. "It was the boys. They kept throwing stones at me and calling me "weird," she said wiping her tears. "Why were they throwing stones?", I asked.

"Because after lunch, I took my apple sauce jar and went down by the little pond and waned to get some fishies for you. And the boys said I was a weirdo. And they..." She began to cry more. "Sweetheart, what did they do?" I asked.

"They held my head down in the water until I had bubbles. And then the teacher came. But she put me in time out! And not them!" She began to wail completely and she reaches in her lunch box and pulled out a couple of cute fish.

She sniffled and wiped her tears. "See, this is a big brother fishy and this is his little sister fishy. The big one is you and the little one is me," her tiny fingers pointed. I hugged her tightly and gave her a big kiss on the forehead and drove off.

At home, mom and sperm donor were in their room, fucking and fighting then fucking. I gave Cindy some ice and some medicine, and I turned on cartoons in my room and a few snacks. "I'll be back in a little while, Sugar Plum. You stay in here, ok?" She nodded and smiled.

"Mkay, gimme a kiss," and she kissed me on the cheek and continued munching her graham crackers and giggled to Spongebob. I locked my bedroom door so that the sperm donor wouldn't bother her. I'm afraid of that sicko. Don't know what he could do. Have to treat her like she's my own.

I revved my motorcycle and headed down to the daycare. I'm gonna find those motherfucking parents. And that motherfucking teacher.
