Chapter 7 The Aftermath
Karma POV
5 Years Ago
"Karma how could you get into another fight what is wrong and with you" I look at my mother her red hair wild. She looks like a monster with her eyes on fire like that. "He started it I was defending myself, mom, I didn't want to fight but dad told me that if I have to fight it better be self-defense." I look at her and she didn't look like she believes that "Yeah he didn't tell you to put him into a comma do you all on your own. Do you know how bad that is? If I hadn't paid them a large sum of money so that they wouldn't press charges. When you father comes back from his mission he is going to be so upset with you. Do you even think before you act? Do you have a brain in that stupid empty skull." I look at my feet she was in one of her moods again really it made me crazy sometimes and dad is the only one that could really deal with her when she is like this. "Come with me." I looked up from my lap and followed her we were walking to the back of the house when I saw a small door on the ground she opened it and looked at me. "Head in there." I look at her confused was there something in there that I need to see.I walked down when my curiosity got the best of me and she locked the door. "You can stay here until your father comes back."
I woke up when I heard the sound of a car pulling up to the front of the house. When I opened my eyes I was greeted with darkness, I started to pound at the door and scream at the top of my lungs. I watched as there was someone walking over to the door. "Help! Get me outta here" I heard someone gasp and I knew the voice instantly. "Karma is that you." I nodded my head I could feel tears stinging my cheek as they fell from my eyes."Papa get me out." I heard him sigh heavily. "Cover your eyes." I did as I was told to and I heard this popping sound going off but it was muffled but I knew that it was the sound of a gun going off. Then I was greeted by the sight of my father as he towered over me. He lifts me up out of the ground and place me gently on the ground and looked at me. "Karma who put you in here." "What the hell are you doing!" I look over to see that my mother was walking over to us. My father faces turned into a danger sneer as he looked at me and then at her. "You did this he is a child what is wrong with you." He grabbed my hand and led me to the front of the house and placed me in the car. He closed the door and yelled at my mother as they argue I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.
I opened my eyes to see that I was still in the hospital room, come to think of it that as the day that it all went downhill from here my father started drifting away from her and took me with him. I sighed and laid my head back down before turning to look at my father he was passed out in the chair. When I looked up there was a doctor walking towards us. Everything came back in one shot my chest ached as I remember that my mom picked her ass of a husband for her own blood.I sighed and looked at him as I shook my dad's arms. He woke up and slowly turn from me to the doctor who was holding a clipboard full of paper. "Once you fill this out he is free to leave but there is no about that the cops will want to speak with you." I nodded my head and look at my dad. He gently ran a hand my tangle and we sweat-drenched hair. "Get dressed you can take a shower at my house." I did my head and watch him wake you go the room before letting my mind flash back to dream before shaking my head and she got to my feet. I look at the ribs. My perfectly sculpted abs were ruined. I sighed and there on a pair of pants and a shirt before waking out of the room. I limped a bit when I felt my back tense up in pain.
It took about 10 minutes for my father to sign all of the paper when we finally made it to his was the same a the last time I saw it. I started to get out of the car and my dad helps me out of the car and into the house. I walked to my old room and clasped on the bed laying there in pain when my father leaned on the red wall. He sneered to himself before walking out and when he came back he had some water and some pills in his hands. "Here take this for the pain and get some rest you got class tomorrow." I look at it shock and shook my head slowly "I don't want to go please don't make me." I shook my head and look at him "I'm in enough hell and pain as it is, don't make me go there too." I could feel myself tearing up and he pulled me into a hug careful not to injure me or cause me pain. "I can't leave you home alone and it's not like I can skip a day it is a mission after all." I look at him as he pulled out of the hug and I sighed "Please you can come back on your lunch break to make sure that I'm okay."I looked at him and he sighed and shook his head "If you don't go to school someone has got to look after you." He sighed and looked at me "You sure you can't go to school tomorrow." I shook my head eyes and he sighed "Alright you can stay home." I smiled at him and he sighed. "Just behave yourself." I nodded my head he walked out, letting me sleep.
I heard someone's voice I groaned as they forced me awake. The sound was coming from my bedroom door, I got out of bed and looked at to see that my dad was talking to a someone with dark black eyes and the same black hair. "Aunt Mika" I look to see her turn around and smiled wide at me. He sighed and walked over to me. "I told you that I couldn't leave you alone unsupervised so your aunt is willing to watch you while I got to work." I looked at him and growl is my breath and slowly walking back to my room and falling back to sleep this was going to suck. I don't need a babysitter were my last thought before I fell asleep.
I could hear them arguing from my room the days had passed since she locked me in the cellar and now it was like I was there with dad or I wasn't in the house. I guess that he thought that she would do it again if he wasn't here to stop her. I shook my head and laid on my side playing games on my console when my dad walked into the room. He looked at me he had this exhausted expression on his face that melted away when I looked at him. "Come on we are going to go to the batting cages." I looked at him and nodded my head and got out of bed before putting on a pair of sneakers. I walked with him to the car and sat in the front as he turned his keys in the engine. The drive was quiet and I am sure that it would stay like this is one of us didn't say something. "Dad are you and mom going to be okay" I look at him and he sighed and nodded his head before turning to look at me. "Yeah as long as she is to never do that to you again no matter the reason it was wrong." I nodded my head and watched the trees pass us by."
I roll onto my back and felt sharp pain shot in my back causing me to howl out in pain and snapped up in the bed sitting up and look at the door and it opened wide and my aunt ran in. She smiled at me and looked at me she has this worried look in her eyes. "What is wrong Karma." I looked at her trying to catch my breath and the pain shot through me. "My back is in pain." I love kat he and she sighed wearily. "Don't scare me like that I'll go get your pain meds just don't move okay." I nodded my head when she came back into the room she had this concerned look in her eyes. She had me a large white table that I took and swallowed them energy. "I hate taking these pills." I laid back down on the bed and she looks at me. "You only have been taking them for a day." I shook my head "No it's not I suppose that dad didn't tell you that this isn't the first time that this happened. Then again he just found out I have been on these pain meds when I broke my femur." I mumbled under my breath before trying to drift off to sleep.I wonder time it is. What is dad doing? I didn't have time to wonder I fell into a coma sleep.
