“She’s my daughter and I want her back….you can’t do this to us after all you put us through I won’t allow this”
“You can’t judge me when you’re doing the same thing I once did (dramatic pause) AND SHES MY DAUGHTER TOO HOW ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE HER IF IT WASN’T FOR ME”
“I’m not the one that walked out on her, I’m not with someone new that has kids and prefers them over their own (she starts walking towards him), I didn’t abandon my family when things got tuff, I didn’t start a new life to pretend as if nothing ever happened, AND I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT A COWARD I ACTUALLY STAND UP AND ADMIT MY WRONG ACTIONS (now she’s in his face screaming)”
“But yet you still commit to them. Admit it Mercy you’ve done it before, still have, and always will (he says smugly standing his ground)”
“Don’t start with that Franky when you were and always will be the same as me and maybe even worse (as she tries something they pull her away)”
“DON’T CALL ME THAT YOU TWO TIMING BITCH”
“AHA SO NOW THE ANGER STARTS TO REVEAL ITSELF…FINALLY NOW YOU CAN LET IT OUT AND LEAVE ME ALONE…AND BY THE WAY UNTIL YOU SAY MY NAME CORRECTLY YOURS WILL ALWAYS BE FRANKYYYYYYYY”
“NO ME TIENTES (DON’T TEMPT ME)”
“HAGO LO QUE ME DES LA GANA…Y ME DA GANA DE HODERTE (I DO WANT I WANT…AND I FEEL BOTHERING YOU)”
“MIRA CO-“
“ENOUGH WITH THE TWO OF YOU I MAKE THE DECISIONS HERE SO I WILL BE THE ONE TO DESIDE…. (Chairs shuffle and everyone sits and try’s to calm down)Now as for you little adults since you have so much energy you should contribute it to some community service hours.”
“WHAT?”(they said in unison)
“You heard me….(clears throat) know for young Mercedez who is in the other room listening on everything here might I add is…………………………………………………………………..Not staying with her mother-“
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (She cried out) You can’t do this to me my baby please no not me” she cried out
“Yes I ge-“
“No you don’t Mr. Fransic….you don’t get custody or anything either. The young girl will be put in foster care along with her two brothers that also happen to live with their mom Mercedes”
“WHATTTTTTTT NOT THEM TOO I CANT, I WONT, YOU CANT DO THAT”
“Actually I can because I’m the judge and I deem you of not being responsible enough for kids if they are mostly home alone, not going to school, starving, and suffering…..and you too sir for not caring enough and at least stopping by or getting her stuff…..you two will not see her until you change or she is grown enough and even wants to meet you….Even as a little 7 year old she is more wise than any of us that girl has brains, charm, and a potential to be high up in this world and it will not be corrupted by both of you. So my decision is final say goodbye and never interfere in her life.”

“Mercy…hey Mercy come to earth…HELLO!!!” (suddenly I was back in my bestfriends living room sitting in my usual spot playing or rather not COD)
“Huh?...oh I’m sorry what were you saying?”
With a roll of his eyes my best friend repeated himself laughing as he did so “I was saying do you want to go buy some last minute school stuff now or later since tomorrow is the first day?”
