Chapter 3
The pizza parlor was very busy, even at 10:30 at night. David bought a very large pizza for us all to share and a drink for me. We sat down at a large table in the back, so we could talk a bit more privately. I sat in between the cherub and the rocker.
David gave me a piece of pizza. I didn't really like pizza much but I was hungry and didn't want to be rude so I ate.
"So I guess you haven't properly met the boys yet." David said suddenly. "This is Dwayne," he said motioning to the brooding one next to him. "And that's Paul and Marko." He said pointing to the rocker then the cherub.
"We already know your name." Paul said taking another bite of pizza.
"Well it's nice to meet you." I said simply taking a drink of my soda.
"Scarlet?" Dwayne asked suddenly.
I was surprised to hear his voice. But answered quickly. "Yeah?"
" When we found you…. Um…. Did you have a plan or were you just gonna take it?" he asked.
His frankness took me a bit off gaurd but I recovered and answered truthfully.
"I couldn't have done much. There were five of them, and besides I'm not just living for me. I have to live to keep Amber safe." I answered trying not to make eye contact with any of them.
"But we saw what you could do. You didn't even try to protect yourself!" it was David who spoke this time.
"I didn't really understand why they were so angry. "Look guys I already said thanks. Can we drop it please?" I said taking another drink.
the others looked at each other then back to David. "David maybe..." Marko started but was cut off by David.
"No we can't Princess."
"You shouldn't care so much. You said it yourself, you don't even know me." I said pushing my pizza away and standing up.
"What is it suddenly a crime to care about someone?" David asked standing as well.
"It is when that someone is me. Your not my father David so fuck off!" I yelled. T this point people were starting to stare but I didn't much care. I stormed out of the parlor and walked back to the motel.
I wanted to slam the door so hard it would come off it's hinges but I remembered Amber and held back. Inside my head I was screaming How could he be such an ass? How could he suddenly start critizing my choices like my father? I swear I wanted to pull my hair out.
That night I didn't sleep at all. My mind was to angry to shut off.
Sorry it's a bit short but it just made sense to stop here. also a couple of my keys are stuck so please ignore spelling. I'll go through and edit later.
