Chapter 11

Kesia's hands began to get clammy as she neared her house.
"Oh, Kesia what have you gotten yourself into now," she whispered to herself.
When she got to the house, she carefully and quietly parked her car out front. She gave out one last sigh before heading out to the house.
When she reached the front door, she stalled a second before putting the key in the lock. Just when she was about to turn the key the, lock turned itself and the door swung open. Kesia jumped slightly as she now faced a very angry Dominic.
"Get in here," Dominic said angrily.
Dom moved to let her in. Kesia slowly moved passed him.
When she was in the house, Dominic slammed the door behind her.
"Where the hell have you been?" Dom asked her in a huff.
Kesia quickly looked up at him, but did not answer.
"Well?"
"I went out," she said to him.
"Yeah, we kind of figured that out last night. We come home, thinking you're in bed sleeping, but no, you're gone, nowhere to be found, with no note or a phone call as to where you were," he grumbled at her.
"You guys do it all the time to me," she said rudely.
Kesia had collected up her courage. Dominic did not intimidate her.
"That gives you no God damn reason. You're only seventeen years old, Kesia."
"So, I can take care of myself, Dominic. I'm not a baby anymore. Let me live my life!"
Kesia could see him build up with more anger, which made her smile a bit.
Forgetting that there were other people that lived in the house, Kesia and Dominic started screaming at each other.
"I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU SAY! I'M TIRED OF LIVING BY YOUR RULES! Kesia, do this, Kesia do that. No Kesia don't do that. Jesus Christ, Dominic, I'm not your pet or your lab experiment," she yelled furiously at him.
"YES, BUT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE IN THIS HOUSE YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY!"
"CUT THE SHIT YOU GUYS!"
Letti and Mia jumped between them.
"The two of you stay out of this," Dom said pushing them out of the way.
"No, because this is going way to far," said Mia. "But he does have a point, you have no reason to leave without saying or leaving a note as to where you are or are going," she said turning to Kesia.
Kesia looked at them both with angry eyes.
"YOU GUYS THINK YOU CAN RUN MY LIFE! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BROTHER AND SISTER! BUT NO YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. YOU FIGHT WITH EVERY DECISION THAT I MAKE! IT'S EITHER YOU AGREE OR YOU DON'T, SIMPLE AS THAT! YOU JUDGE EVERYTHING THAT I DO! I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITH OUT YOU GUYS JUMPING ON MY BACK!" Tears began to surface in Kesia's eyes.
"KESIA!" Dominic yelled.
"NO! I hate you guys! You don't love me. You only love yourselves and your precious cars. It's like sometimes I don't exist to you. I try to do things for you, but you completely ignore me!"
"You know that's not true," Mia butted in.
"Like hell it is!' she yelled back at her sister. 'You pick me apart piece by piece. You all assume I'm fine, when really I'm not. The only person who really cares is Jesse or Letti. They're the only people who actually care."
"That's not true," Dominic uttered to her.
"You know damn well that is, so don't try to deny it," she spat back at him.
Dom looked over at Letti. She didn't say anything, nor give him a facial expression. Dominic ran a hand over his face and shook his head.
"Too much to handle for ya, Dom?" Kesia asked him abruptly.
Dominic looked up at her and shot her a glare. He was really starting to get pissed off now.
Kesia looked over at Letti, who hadn't said anything, but Kesia could see that she was stressed out.
"If we didn't care we wouldn't have gone all over San Francisco looking for you," said Dominic.
"True, but what would happen if you broke your promise to Mami and Papi? You'd feel so bad, wouldn't you? Knowing that you didn't live up to what you promised. Making you a bad brother and sister," Kesia said.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!' Dominic yelled at her. 'You know damn well that that's not the reason. We love you. That's why we went to hell last night looking for you. That's why we do the things that we do, because we love you. Everybody in this house. Mia, Letti, Jesse, Vince, Leon, and me. We all love you." Tears began to surface in Dom's eyes.
"Really.... Really. Is that really true? I believe you, but why do you have to so overprotective of me. I'm not going anywhere.' Tears poured out of Kesia's eyes. 'I'm not a baby anymore, Dominic. I'm seventeen. I'm not going anywhere just yet. I know you love me, but sometimes I just wish you would show more of it."
Kesia's vision began to blur and she began to shake.
"Kesia...Kesia...Kes..." Dom & Mia's voices echoed through her ears.
