Chapter 11 Sick Day?
Karma POV
I woke up on the couch hot and stiff, when I slowly rolled onto my side I realize that there is something under me and I looked up to see that my head was in my dad's lap and there was a pillow under my head. What the hell happened last night? I groaned a little bit and I tried to remember the night before but more importantly, it was 11 in the morning I should have been at school by now even if I don't want to go I should right? "Dad?" My voice came out gruff as he opened his eyes and looked at me "It's about time that you woke up." He made it seem like he had been awake this whole time. I turned to looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that there was a cup of coffee on the end table and that wasn't one there when I went to sleep last night. Wait so he was awake this whole time then why didn't he wake me up, he never misses a day he doesn't want to fail his mission. I rolled my eyes before throating my head back on the pillow growling out in frustration as I thought about the other day at school. That bitch. "What is with your attitude this morning young man." I groaned and rested my head back on the pillow "How come you didn't wake me up for school." I look at him confused as he laughed "I thought that was obvious I didn't want to go and you had already said that you didn't want to go so I decided that the two of us would have a sick day." I smile wide at him and nodded my head before gently rising from the couch. Careful to not further injure my back or head, any other time I wouldn't mind the pain but now with my assassin training, it was becoming a nuisance.
"So what do you want to do today." I look at him and grinned as my thought drifted to one piece"There is a new game that just came out the other night I wanted to get it but with everything going down, I didn't think that I should bring it up, could we go get it." He nodded his head and stood up stretching his back out before turning his dark gaze on was this confused look in his eyes as he stared intently at me. "Are you going to get up and get dressed we can go now if you want." I looked at him and nodded my head before running up the stairs which was a terrible idea considering by the time that I got up the stairs I felt winded. Stupid fractured skull this just have to be my luck.I groaned as I gently brushed my teeth and looked in the mirror.I just don't get it why the hell would she choose her shit bag of a husband after what he did to me. I took in a deep breath trying to steady myself before running down the stairs taking them slow. When I got there dad was just getting off of the phone this aggravated look on his face. "Dad, you good?Is there something wrong? We don't have to head to the school, I don't want to go..please.." I heard my heart pounding in my ears as he ran over to me pull me into a hug trying to soothe me and it was working. When we pulled away there was this gentle and proud smile on his face. "I didn't even hear you sneaking up on me it seemed that even with those injuries you would make a great 't worry I got you and we don't have to go to the school until you want to." He was willing to fail his mission to make sure that I was okay and that brought a large toothy smile to my face as I nodded my head."You really think so dad." He nodded his head and stood in front of me rubbing my arm gently. "You ready to go, we can get breakfast on the way or after we get the game it is your choice."
I nod my head and walked to the car just thinking about what Ren must be going through in school. All of them expecting her to answer their questions, on badgering her and insulting most likely me and my father.I was so distracted that I didn't even notice that my dad was trying the keys in the ignition but he gripped them way too tightly. "Dad are you okay." I looked at him and he she causing his shoulder to sag and shake as his composure started to break down but it was only for a moment. But when he looked up his face was blank "Fine, don't worry about it, I'm just a little upset about what Irana did she has no shame." I looked out the window for nodding my head before sighing and pulling my phone out to text Ren. Her name popped up on my screen as she sent me a text. I open the text bubble to see an angry selfie followed by a caption. "I can't believe you didn't tell me that you weren't going to class I wouldn't have come to school. Now I'm stuck with these idiots and a whole bunch of question that I don't even know how to begin to answer." I shook my head and smiled, "Sorry it wasn't my idea, my dad thought it was best for me not to go. Would you mind picking up my work and bringing it over when school is done? We can chill afterward." I hit the send button and I looked up to see that the mall was fast approaching. "Karma, no phones hand it over."
I groaned at him and he chucked under his breath "That is the payment for not going to school, uninterrupted time with your dad got that?" I felt a small smile creep on my face, "Yeah dad sounds good to me." I handed him my phone as I slowly rose from the car slamming the door behind me and slowly making my way to one of the entrances to the mall. When we get there I ran straight from the video game store, the new one piece game came out today and I didn't want to miss it. I completely forget that I was supposed to wait for my dad. I made it to the store in time and walked my eyes taking over each display till I found it for my gaming console which I just now realized is at moms house.I growled as I looked down at the cover art of the game and sighed."What's wrong kid didn't think about your gaming system before leaving us for that deadbeat you call a father." I knew the voice it always filled me with cold dread as I was forced to turn around and see that mom and his dick of a husband were looking at me with cold eyes. My mother stared at me this murderous gleam, I could feel fear rising in my throat as I shrunk under her gaze."Shouldn't you be in school you little brat." I flinched at her harsh tone and look down at my feet. Great I should have waited for dad and now I can't even text him because he took my phone.
