I woke up the next morning feeling like shit, thank God it was a Saturday.
I went into the kitchen, because 3 square meals a day keeps the nagging away, so I grabbed a slice of toast and went into the living room.
"Morning Savy"
"Does Mom know about your tenacity to skip breakfast?"
"I don't think so, unless you told her"
"No I haven't"
"Well then she doesn't know"
"Lacey!"
"Oh fuck off, Mom probably doesn't know that you fucking married Larry and have been for nearly a year"
"Lou, I don't know how she'll react"
"It can't be as bad as her reaction to my hair"
Savannah laughed so hard that she snorted.
"What do you wanna watch Lou?"
"Nothing really, haven't had the concentration for Tv since Dad died"
"Have you tried?"
"Yeah, I tried Looney Tunes and as soon as Bugs Bunny came on I balled my eyes out"
"I don't get how you thought that Dad was like Bug Bunny"
"Dad could talk his way out of any trouble he got into, that's literally what Bugs does"
"That makes sense"
"I'll tell you what I told Dream, I try Savy, I try"
"Sassy much?"
"Maybe you should put a horror film on"
"No"
It was Midnight, and 9 year old me was watching a random horror film, Uncle Wade was looking after Savannah and I, because Dad was working late that night, Uncle Wade was passed out on the couch while I was watching said horror film.
I didn't hear Dad come in, however Dad saw me sitting on the couch.
"Lacey Tanya Bolton!, what are you doing watching a horror film at midnight?!"
"Uncle Wade said I could"
"Well turn it off"
I turn off the Tv because I didn't want Dad to get angry at me.
"Daddy, are you mad at me?"
"(Sighs), No Lacey, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your Uncle Wade, but you don't worry about that, you just need to worry about going to bed and sleeping, ok?"
"Ok"
