chapter 8-
walking farther down melrose someone grabbed my arm and swung me around.
"where the fuck have you been!" my father yelled
"leave me alone" i said wiggling, trying to get out of his grasp. no luck there.
"shut up, im your father and you have everyone worried sick! you are so selfish" he shouted
"i said leave me the fuck alone" i yelled, people were staring, couldn't they help me?
he smacked me across the face really hard, "never speak to me like that again!" he shouted dragging me away
i was now crying, but not loudly, just tears down my face.
i see joseph and his brothers getting into the car as my dad is dragging me
i see joseph's worried face and i just shut my eyes and when i opened them tears started poring out.
next thing i know joe had ran over to my father and i.
"sur., leave her alone!" he shouted stepping in front of my dad
i tried pulling his hand off my now black and blue arm.
"let go, please let go, dad! let go" i screamed, my arm was in so much pain i could hardly breath
joseph's face changed into confused after i said dad.
"he's your father?" he asked me in a disgusted voice. i nodded
"this is who im running from" i said more tears coming down my face
joseph's brothers were soon by his side, while my dad is dragging me
"dad, dad! i can't feel my arm, please, please let go" i said scratching his arm and hitting him, he didn't budge. but this definitely angered those boys.
they exchanged looks, then one of them snapped their fingers and this HUGE black man came running over. the shortest one pointed to my dad and said, take care of him, which that guy got my dad to let go.
i fell to the ground hysterically crying holding my arm, is was black and blue from my elbow to my shoulder, and it hurt really bad.
the three boys came to my side, i don't remember joseph's brother's names. but at the moment i am beyond thankful that joseph cared so much, even if i was a bitch to him.
"im sorry!" i said in between cries "i was so mean to you and you-you-you helped me" i said trying to stop crying and catch my breath
he was just holding my arm the one that was bruised and looking at it, "i may not understand why you acted like that, but you can't just wander the streets" he said looking at me now
then he looked at his brothers and they nodded, i have no idea what's with them but they like talk with their eyes,creeepy.
