"I don't know what else you want from me. I'm trying, I'm really trying. And this has got to stop! You getting in fights, sneaking out, getting in trouble. You need to follow my rules because I'm done!" Vic said angrily. I scoffed, laughing humorously. "Oh whatever like you give a fuck. Just go ahead and pretend like you care, while you keep getting paid from the government." I growled at him. He pounded his fist on the table in anger. "You and I both know that your not here just so I can get money. I'm your father and you better start treating me like one!" He yelled. My glare intensified, feeling anger flood my veins. I stalked closer to him, with my fists clenched. "We might be related by blood," I paused, getting closer. "But you'll never be my father." I spat, turning on my heels, and doing the thing I've always done. I ran.
"Stop pretending. Boyfriend, right? With whom you'll be hanging out once Eth and your Dad are gone."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"What more things are you gonna do? I would love to know more."
"Dante please, leave."
I tried to push him away but instead he held my hands and pinned them behind me pulling me closer to him, our chest crashed with each other.
His one hand came up to my lips, I gulped hard he looked really angry. His eyes landed on my lips tracing his thumb over my bottom lip he asked "Did he kiss you?"
I remained quiet.
Taking his gaze off my lips he looked me in the eye and asked again "Did he kiss you?"
"Why do you care?" I asked back.
