I Want To Know What Love Is (book2)

Not gonna take it

🎵 Oh, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, we're not gonna take it anymore🎵

El got home an hour after we got back to the house. Dad was waiting for her outside while I made dinner. I knew this was one fight I wanted to stay out of. I tune out most of there argument until I hear el tell him he lies. I turn around and observe. Dad is bent over holding his forehead. "I don't lie. I protect! And I feed and I teach and all I ask if you is that you follow three simple rules. Three rules! And you know what you can't even do that!" He shouts. Eleven has tears streaming down her cheeks and I am standing there with my mouth agape. Dad storms out of the room and quickly back tracks. "Your grounded. Do you know what that means?" He storms into the kitchen next to me and whips open the fridge. "It means no Eggos!" He grabs them and tosses them into the trash and I gasp at him. He slams the fridge shut and storms back to the living room. "An no t.v for a week." Eleven quickly follows behind him. Dad goes to grab the tv but it won't budge he looks up and el is standing there with blood trickling down her nose. She's using her powers to stop it. "Alright knock it off, let go." He says standing up and facing her, a calmer expression on his face. El shakes her head no.

"Dad.." I say slowly. Dad leans down and attempts to move it again. Once again it doesn't budge. He shakes his head.

"Alright, make it two." He grabs it again. "Let go." Once again el shakes her head no. "A Month!"

"No!" El says sternly. I turn the stove off and start to walk into the room we're they are staring each other down.

"Well congratulations instead of losing the tv for a month no tv at all." He yanks the cord out of the back of the tv. I put my head in my hands. Oh jeez.

"No!" El screams. "No!" She cries again running to the tv and trying frantically to fix it. I walk over to the tv and look behind it at the torn cord.

"You have got to understand that there are consequences to your actions." Dad says calmly to a frantic el. She whips around.

"You are like papa!" She shouts. My heart clenches as dads face drops. He brings his hand up to his face.

"Really? I'm like that psychotic son of a bitch?" I step in between el and dad.

"I think you both need to stop now." I say quietly.

"You wanna go back to the lab?" Dad asks ignoring me. "One phone call and I can make that happen." He says. El shakes her head.

"Dad stop!" I say louder.

"I hate you!" El says pointing her finger at dad. I turn and stare at her.

"I'm not so crazy about you either you know why because your a brat." Dad snarls. "Do you know what that word means? How about that be your word for the day. b-r-a-t why don't we look it up. " he goes to toss the book towards her and she freezes it in the air. She used her power and throws it back towards him. I duck and it barely misses my head. "Hey!" He shouts. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He asks taking a step forward. I go to step forward blocking there paths but el uses her powers to push the couch blocking dad from getting closer and hitting my in the shin in the process.

"El stop!" I say loudly. She just continues to glare at dad.

"Hey! Hey!" Dad shouts as el takes off towards her room. She slams her door shut behind her with her powers and dad starts banging his fists on the door.

"Dad just stop, let her cool down." I say frantically. Dad turns towards me.

"Your no help! If you would have just come home last night like you were supposed to she wouldn't have been alone and left." I just stare at him with a frown and shake my head.
