Calum
Holy fuck! What is my stupid drunk of a dad doing here?! Why did he decide to come here now? He's drunk, yet again. I can tell without having to enter the kitchen. Get out Calum! Get out and run! Or call the cops! My subconscious tells me but I know what I have to do. If I call the cops, suspicion will rise around the neighborhood. I need to get rid of him myself before my mom comes home and he starts beating her like before. I steadily walk towards the kitchen door and push it open. When I open it, there's brown glass littering the floor and 4 empty beer bottles on the table. I automatically figured the brown on the floor was a shattered beer bottle. Then I turn to look at him.
"What the fuck are you looking at." He spits. He leans against the counter trying to balance himself.
"You. Why are you here?" I ask trying to keep my voice as neutral as possible.
"I can be here if I want to," He says opening the fridge to retrieve yet another beer. "its my house too." He says popping the top off and taking a swig of the beer.
"Its not anymore. You two got a divorce, remember? You're not welcome here." I said. Anger was slowly building up inside of me but I tried to push it down.
"Oh? And who the hell do you think you are? You don't own this place." He says with a grin. That's stupid grin that I've learned to hate.
"Doesn't matter. I still live here with my mum. You don't live here anymore." I say letting a little anger escape in my tone. Dammit! I mentally curse at myself for showing emotion.
"Oh! Look who's trying to act all tough!" He said waving his hands in the air spilling some beer. "Let me tell you something son, if..." He starts.
"Don't you dare call me son! You don't deserve to call me that!" I yell cutting him off. The anger in me is too much to handle. Fuck it! He deserves to be yelled at.
"Excuse me?! Who ever said I gave you permission to talk!" He yells at me just as loud.
"Just shut up! You don't deserve to call me that or to be here or to talk to my mum! You guys are divorced for a reason!" I scream back.
"Watch your tone! I swear if you say one more thing..." He threatens.
"You'll do what?! Beat me again?! You've done it before to me! and my mom!" I yell at him. Im just so infuriated by this man! Why did this have to happen to my family?
"Oh just get over it! You deserved it! Both of you!" He yells trying to defend himself.
"No, we didn't! You're just a stupid abusive drunk that...." I was cut off by a sharp pain on my cheek. He slapped me! "What the fuck!" I yell. Only to be followed by a punch to my face.
"Shut up!" He yells steping closer towards me and pinning me up against the wall. "Now where's your mum?" He says in my face. The way he said that send shivers down my spine.
"She's not here. And you shouldn't be here either." I say. I'm disgusted by this man. I'm ashamed to call him my father. My face is in pain but I could care less right now. I need to protect my mom from this man.
He turns to me with that horrid grin on his face. "I can wait," he said "I've been dying to see her."
"No you can't," I spit back at him "we don't want you here." I say managing to shove him off. Just I said that, we hear keys rattle and the door open. I run to the living room as fast as I can.
"Mom we need to get out of here, now." I starts
"Calum what happened to you?" She says looking at my face.
"Dads here." I say in a low tone. The grocery bags drop from her hand.
"He is?" She asks. Worry clear in her voice and I nod.
"Ahhh. Joy." I hear behind me and I clench my fists at my sides as I turn around.
"Hello David." She said trying to sound and act unaffected by him being here but it wasn't fooling me. I grab my mums hand and give her a tight squeeze. She squeezes my hand back pretty tight. I can tell she's very nervous.
"Aww now isn't that cute," The now unfamiliar man standing in front of us said. "You're having an affair with your mom?" He asks.
"No! What the hell is your problem? I support and love my mom unlike you!" I yell. My blood is boiling and I step forward but my mom stops me.
"No, Calum just....stop," My mom says. Her voice is calm and it calms me down too. "You shouldn't be here." She said turning back to him.
"And why not? I know you miss me." He says stepping a little closer. I want to knock his teeth out for all the things he's done.
"No I don't. Now please leave." She says. Her voice a little shaky.
"....you bitch!" He yells stepping closer towards her and shoving her. She hits the wall and falls to the ground. Without a second thought, I step in front of him and swing right to his face and he collapsed. My adrenaline is pumping. I just socked my father and it felt amazing.
"Calum call the police!" She yells trying to get up. I nod and rush to the phone and dial.
"911 what's your emergency?" A lady says.
"My drunk ass father is here and he's beating me and my mom! Please help!" Tears threaten to escape my eyes as I see him grab my mom and shover to the floor. "Get away from her!" I yell and charge at him dropping the phone but pining him down before he does anything else to her. "Mom grab the phone!" I yell and she scurries to the phone on the floor.
"Yes, yes hello? I'm here." I hear her say frantically. He tries to wiggle out but that only make me tighten my grip around him. "1037 Olive Avenue.....Thank you please hurry!" She yells and she hangs up the phone. "They're on their way." She says when she's by my side and I nod. I look to her and see she's bleeding from her head. I worry but quickly look down turning my attention to him.
"You made a mistake coming here." I say. As I say that I hear sirens and am glad it didn't take long. All he does is give me that horrible grin.
The police officers come into the house and we manage to get my fath.....the man, into handcuffs. Paramedics are here and take me and my mom. Not till I get there did I realize I'm in pretty bad shape. I have a busted lip and a black eye.
"Just wait till I get my hand on both of....." He yells but was cut off by the police car door closing.
"Are you ok mum?" I ask as she finishes getting bandaged up.
"I'm fine Cal. Thank you for sticking up for me." She says giving me a hug.
"Of course I'll stick up for you. I love you mum. I won't let anything, or anyone hurt you." I say as she let's go and gives me a smile.
When the paramedics and the police leave, I decided to text Luke.
Hey sorry I can't go today. I have some things I need to do. I send and await a reply. Less than 5 minutes later my phone buzzes.
Its alright, babe. We can hang out tomorrow. Mikey and Ash are here so we're just gonna chill for a bit longer. I'm working my cupid magic on them ;) He replies and I couldn't help but giggle. I said OK and headed to my room before going to bed. After all it was already 9:30
Wow. Cal's dad is quite an ass! Not for real tho.
I feel like that was quite a descriptive fight haha xD but anyway....
Hope you guys enjoy!
