Dom stopped in his tracks and I could feel him tense.
"What the hell do you want?" Letty asked, coming up from behind Dom and I. My father glared at her.
"I heard what happened to her, wanted to see if she had pulled through or not." He said looking around us as Jesse came up. Oh shit. I thought as I saw the glint in Jesse's eyes.
"You were the one that fucked her up the most asshole, why do you care?" Jesse snarled standing beside Letty. My father simply stared at Jesse for a few minutes before speaking.
"The bitch deserved it." He shrugged, walking down the steps. This is when I hated him the most. When he thought he was smug, like he controlled everything about me. I saw Vince and Leon out of the corner of my eye.
"Put me down." I whispered to Dom. He gave me a concerned look, but put me down. I walked over to Jesse and gripping his arm I looked straight at my father.
"You don't control me. You might used to think you did but you sure as hell don't! Sure you fucked me up but I'll get over it." I said watching his eyes fill with rage. "It's your fault. If you weren't so fucked up and didn't have so many problems she wouldn't have died." He said growing angrier by the minute.
I tried to control my reflexes, but I wasn't doing a very good job because I was visibly shaking, holding on to Jesse for support, or else I would have collapsed. Jesse noticed to and gripped my waist a little tighter.
"She was always so stressed out because of you. You being in the hospital. She was always gone and when she was home she was always talking about you!" He spat at me as I stood there. I wanted to hurt him, tear him apart make him feel what it felt like to be beaten.
"I know it's my fault, too! Don't you think that it follows me around everyday? I don't need you to tell me that." I said, my voice quivering. I wasn't going to break down. I was stronger than that and giving him the satisfaction of seeing me cry was something I couldn't do. He came closer to me but Jesse stepped in front of me.
"Back off." He said through clenched teeth. My father looked him up and down and laughed. I watched Jesse clench his fist. I grabbed his arm before he could take a swing. He turned around to look exasperatedly, at me but I shook my head.
"He's not worth it Jesse!" I pleaded. He pulled back reluctantly, but just the same, I was glad he did.
My father simply laughed and muttered "Bitch." before walking off. I should have kept a hold on Jesse. In one movement he was off and on top of my father. Dom and Vince went to try and pull him off while Letty came to stand beside me. All I could was shake my head watching Dom and Vince pull him off while Leon went and collected my father. Leon said something to him before landing him a sock in the stomach making him double over.
I didn't want to watch this. I walked over and sat on the step watching the scene before me start to crumble. Letty came over and sat beside me putting her arm around me. For the first time in a long time tears were running down my cheeks. I buried my head in my hands trying to think about what he said.
Letty noticed. "Its not true chica, what he said."
"Yes it is." I sobbed through my hands. "Everything he said was true. It was my fault! If she hadn't been so worried and stressed over me she wouldn't have been driving to the hospital so fast and slammed into that truck."
I hated this, I hated him. I looked up to see if they were still at and noticing they were made my blood boil. I stood up quickly despite Letty's protests and walked over to them.
"Stop, stop it right now!!" I screamed, interjecting myself between Dom and my father. For the first time in a long time I looked my abuser in the eyes. "Get the fuck out and away from my house. NOW" I screamed into his face.
He looked somewhat surprised at first. Then he slapped me across the face. I could hear Dom and Leon restraining Jesse and Vince. I knew if they let them go he'd be dead sooner or later. I looked back at him and repeated what I had just said "Get the fuck out and away from my house, or do I need to translate into a different language for you to understand?" I said watching the surprise spread on his face once again. "If you ever and I mean ever come near me or this house again next time I won't stop them from ripping your face off." I said my expression remaining cold.
He slowly backed away from me and got in his car. As he drove away I couldn't control the shaking anymore. I collapsed in Jesse's arms
