Unforgettable

Chapter 55

*Bri POV *

"Dad.."

"Briana, I'm really busy right now. Go help mommy with something."

"She left for the store.."

"Well go play with your dolls, sweety."

"But daddy I don't want to-"

"Briana. I said I was busy. Get out."

"Why do you always have to be mean.."

"I'm working. Go before I put you in time out."

I sighed and walked out, my blanket dragging behind me as I slowly walked back to my room. I pulled myself up on my bed and hid under my covers, falling asleep.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS COME HOME LATE, SHANE?!"

"Christ sakes Leah, I have work."

I woke up, hearing my parents yelling at each other. I slid out of my bed, holding my teddy bear as i walked down the hall towards the stair case. I looked down between the bars, seeing my mom crying and daddy looking tired as usual. He walked to his tray of glasses on the high table I can't reach, pouring himself a glass of his 'adult drink'.

"You are such a drunk, Shane. What a good father you are. When was the last time you and Bri actually did something together? Last time you were here for dinner? To tuck her in? To watch her Christmas play at school? When Shane?"

"I'm sorry for fucking up your perfect life. But if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have this nice big house and pearls around your neck."

"I don't need this. I don't need wealth. I want my husband and daughter happy and for us to be a family."

Daddy was quiet, so my mom shook her head and started to walk up the stairs so I hid behind the big vase. Once she was in her room, I looked back at daddy. Seeing him drink and drink and drink, until he picked up the bottle and chugged the whole thing. He slid down the wall and started to cry, but I didn't move, I knew I would get in trouble or he would get mad. He got back up, picking up the keys and walking out the front door.

The whole scene changed, and I'm on a long road and there is what seems a car accident ahead. A woman ran by me, and it was my mom, crying and screaming. I started to run after her.

"MOMMY! MOMMY COME BACK! I CANT RUN FAST ENOUGH."

I soon reached the area, there is fire and car pieces everywhere.

"NO. GOD PLEASE NO!"

I heard my mom's cries, so I turned my head, seeing her crying on a body laying on the ground. I walked up towards her and the body, seeing it's daddy.

"Mommy what's wrong? Why is daddy sleeping in the road?"

She wouldn't look at me, not even when I poked her.

"Please don't leave me Shane, please baby I'm so sorry. You aren't a bad father, you are such a good dad. Please wake up, I can't do this without you. Shane please, PLEASE SHANE. WAKE UP, DONT LEAVE ME!"

I started to cry and cry, people pulling my dad away from my mom as they took her away. I heard her cries and screams as she tried to fight them back.

"Daddy..."

I walked up to my dad, poking his cheek and shoulder.

"Daddy wake up.. please. Mom loves you. She was just upset, but I'm not. I still love you, I'm not mad you didn't come to my play. You aren't a meanie either. But can you wake up now.."

The scene changed again, and I was at a hospital. I hear a woman crying, so I walked around the corner and one of the doors were opened. My mom was in there crying as daddy was still asleep in the bed. I started to walk up to her but then she was gone, and it was just my dad. Doctors walked in, but didn't acknowledge my existence.

"I wonder how Mrs. Parks is gonna explain this to her daughter... The man was a complete drunk and practically killed himself. I heard the mom was considering giving the daughter away. Such a tragedy."

I was so confused, so I climbed onto the bed and layed next to daddy. People with black suits and glasses barged into the room, pulling me off of my dad.

"NO GET OFF OF ME! DADDY, DADDY WAKE UP! DADDY THEY ARE HURTING ME PLEASE!"

They threw me over their shoulder, so I started to cry and kick them. I saw my mom and she started to cry even more.

"I'm so sorry Bri.. Be good baby.."

She picked up a gun, and pulled it to her head.

"MOMMY NO!"

I shot up in my bed, sweat dripping down my face as I tried to catch my breath. Cameron barged into the room, turning on the lamp by my bed as he pulled me onto his lap.

"Shh, baby it's okay... it was just a bad dream.."

"T-they took me and they h-hurt me, and my dad was d-dead and-"

I broke down into a fit of sobs as Cameron rubbed my back and played with my hair as he tried to calm me down.

"It's okay, you are safe baby.. you're safe.."
