Accepting It *ON HOLD*

Organic • 1 •

I parked dads car & quickly made my way through the Walmart entrance while reading the grocery list dad had written;
• Eggs
• Bread
• Milk
"Easy" I mumbled to myself as I grabbed a shopping basket & made my way towards the eggs. Not even 5 minutes later I got a text;
"Hurry the fuck up I don't have all day." -dad
I sighed & responded with "k." Mostly because I really didn't feel like typing all that. I also just wanted to be a liitle petty.
I grabbed the first loaf of bread that I saw then walked over to the milk section.
On my way I passed by the baby section & tried not to look- but I couldn't help it. Somehow I ended up looking through all the pacifiers.
:0 "wooahh." I thought as I pushed all the other pacifiers aside, revealing a baby blue one with a puppy imprinted on the front. I squealed in excitement then quickly looked around making sure nobody heard that..
I placed the pacifier into the shopping basket under the bread then walked up to the cash register as calmly as I could fake & placed my items down in front of the cashier, a guy named "Jim" who looked tired of living. Could you blame him?
"Okay, if worst comes to worst, just tell him I have a baby brother." I thought before Jim interrupted-
"Hello? $14.25 dude" he said with words that seemed to simply drag, the type to drain you.
"Oh- sorry" I said as I handed him the money & grabbed my bags.
"Have a good night." He said & I knew his boss probably forced him to say that to every costumer.
"You too." I murmured and quickly made my way out of the store & back into dads car. I dug my hand into the bag & grabbed my new pacifier, admiring it before putting it in my mouth as I placed the other bags down on the passengers seat.
I turned my phone on to open my camera but instead was greeted with "7 missed calls from: Dad".
"Dammit." I said causing my pacifier to fall out of my mouth and onto my lap, frustrating me even more.
I punched the driving wheel only to hear a loud horn go off.
I jumped at the unexpected noise then took a deep breath, leaning back against the seat before stuffing the pacifier into my pocket & forcing myself to drive home unless I wanted dad to be even more pissed.

~ 10 minutes later ~

I forced the old door open only to see dad on the couch with a beer in his hand, & about 20 more empty ones scattered around him. Of course.
"What took you so long?" He asked, getting up & walking towards me.
I paused & looked up at him trying to think of anything other to say than "oh just casually looking through some pacifiers."...
"I- I had a hard time finding the milk.. I brought your favorite though.." I managed to stutter & lie as he snatched the bags away from me, pulling out the jug of milk.
He read he label then looked at me, anger vibrant in his eyes.
"This. Is. Organic." He spat & I felt fear overtake my body & thoughts.
I shut my eyes tight, knowing what would come next.
I felt a rough sting against my cheek & for a second everything went black. I felt his hand wrap around my arm as he dragged me to my room & slammed the door shut.
I fell onto my bed, watching the ceiling spin, before falling into a deep sleep that would silence all my pain.

Well shii, way to start off a story huh?
The "This. Is. Organic." Part was kind of a troll buut- yeah! Thank you for the 3 reads this'll get
