Chapter 115

Ah, the ripe scent of teenage hormones and terror in the morning. Maybe I'll stay back and let the fear settle in a little longer. They know they're caught and the old man is so fucking old anyway. Maybe they can move a few more things for him.

"Shut up. Stay calm."

"This was your idea, Izzy! I told you he'd find out. He's going to kill me."

"He won't kill you. Just play dumb."

Oh yeah 'cause that'll be convincing. Little shit is quite possibly the smartest kid I've ever met. How's that gunna work?

"He knows I'm not dumb! And he already hates me."

Damn straight I know you're not dumb. Over dramatic little shits. Besides, I don't hate the kid.

"He doesn't...okay maybe just a little."

Okay, that's fair.

"Listen, I know...I wanted this to work but...maybe its just not..."

"Wait, are you breaking up with me? Now!?"

Oh no.

"It just won't work. It won't. This was a stupid idea. He never approved of me. And...I told you we should wait until after you weren't grounded but you never listen. To anyone! Not me, not your parents or siblings. And...and I love you, okay? There I said it. I love you but I...I...you're a bad influence on me. You lied to me. Told me your father was taking us and you had me lie to my parents, Izzy. Had me lie to your grandmother. Over a movie that could've waited. Then when you get called out that's when you tell me your dad isn't coming. I can't do this anymore."

Ah hell. Dammit Izayoi. I didn't raise you this way. What the fuck?

"But...I thought..."

Why am I getting upset over this? Isn't this what I want?

And she did lie. I should be mad at her.

So why do I feel bad? I shouldn't feel bad. This is the consequence of her actions.

"This isn't who I am. This is who you are. You do whatever you want to do, when you want to do it. The rest of the world be damned. Me included."

Oh hell no. Izayoi may be a little rebellious shit but she isn't...I mean yeah, she doesn't listen but...

"Listen, I...would...I'll tell everyone it was my idea. I'll take the fall. Even if he kicks me out of the pack. I don't care. Just...just don't..."

Oh my god, you kick a kid out one time and...

"Like he'll believe that. In one day, my honorable reputation is shattered. I never lie Izzy and you used that to get what you wanted. What's done is done. And I can't do this anymore. I can't. It's not like magically everything will be mended because you tell people it was your idea. That's child play and no one will believe you because all you ever do is lie and manipulate. They'll still blame me."

Okay that was harsh.

"I..."

Ugh, am I a bad parent? How did she end up like this? I mean she's a good kid she just...

Maybe...maybe...

"Enough. It's over Izzy. I can sense your father in range and I'm sure he's listening at this point. We need to face the consequences of our actions."

Maybe I need to try to fix this?

What the fuck is wrong with me?!
