Chapter 10

Sabine's P.O.V

"Actually, I am not in trouble because I did not do anything except see my boyfriend."

"You are. I did not give you permission to."

"I don't need permission from you dad. Face it, you always have a thing against us dating, so if you're that way, it means that I don't have to listen to you when it comes to Ezra."

"Sabine, you know you violated my very simple rules. I have your punishment ready."

I scoffed. "Like that even exists."

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me. I'm not taking your punishment because I am not in trouble. I am leaving after I get the rest of my things."

"So you're gonna spend your night over at his place?"

"Got a problem with it?"

"It just goes to show that you just love him more than your own family. Family is more than blood, have I not taught you that?"

"You did, and it is, but Ezra is also like family."

"That does it! You are not going anywhere, and if you do, I will ground you for a time that is long enough for you."

"Yeah right."

"So you think this is funny?"

"I don't."

"Sabine, do as I say if you want to remain a part of our clan!"

"What did you just say to me dad?"

"You have heard me."

"Did you just threaten to kick me out of our house?"

"I didn't say anything."

"You lied right there obviously."

"I DIDN'T. Break up with that Bridger kid before I kick you out permanently from our clan!"

"No! I don't want to break up with him. Look, get over this already! I am not going to break up with him because I love for who he is for who he is even if he is not a guy who shows warrior discipline within himself. And dad, you have no right to decide who is good for me."

"I do! Now, stay in your room like a good girl. And be sure to call your boyfriend and tell him that you won't be coming back to his place today."

"Actually I am. And I just got the last of my things now."

"No! You are not going anywhere!"

"I am! You do not control my social life, I do! And if you have a problem with that, then think about somebody else other than yourself, dad."

"Don't you order me around!"

"I did so because you need to get over this problem because if this keeps happening then things aren't going to look good!"

"I have had it with your back talking attitude. You are a Mando'ad, and a Mando'ad does what is right for her clan. And you have not done so. Sabine Wren, get lost."

"What!? But, but..."

"No buts! Get out now! And don't come back until you have thought about your clan, and have dumped your stupid boyfriend!"

I started sobbing. "But you can't do this! I have thought about my clan, I value my clan as my family."

"And if you do so, then why do you care more about him than your own family!?"

"I don't and he is like family to me, dad! You can't do this!"

"I can. Now get out of here!"

He forcefully pulled me out my room by hair and shoved me into a wall. The impact was rough as my forehead made impact. I teared up from the impact.

"Why did you do that!?" I asked as I teared up more and more.

"GO DOWNSTAIRS!" I complied, my head swelling in pain from the hit. Luckily it didn't seem major. I started walking downstairs, and got there. "Oh, and take your backpack with you!" My dad threw my backpack downstairs. I put it on, now crying. "And a real Mando'ad does not cry like a five year old!"

"But you hurt me, you ignorant piece of sh-"

"Do not talk back to me! Now get out! I hope you learn a lesson from all of this and come back being worth something to our clan."

My heart shattered. He just referred to me as being worthless to our clan! How could he!? I cried heavily from all of this as I threw on my hat and took off, crying as I took a few steps away from the front door. I felt the anger boiling in me, and I was ready to give in. After what happened, I was getting angrier by the second. I gave in.

"You cannot do this to me!" I yelled outside. "I am not coming back because of you! It's not my fault that you can't simply accept me for what I am doing!" I found a large stick on the ground and started hitting a tree with it, grunting loudly as I hit it. "Why!? Why did it have to be this way, dad!? You have done the unthinkable!" I yelled as I kept on hitting the tree, to the point where the stick broke after the fifteenth hit. I yelled out in anger as I threw the stick at the door. "OSIK!" I started pacing around, taking the moment to relax my tense muscles as I took deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling. I took a few more moments to calm down, then I started making my way over to Ezra's house. As I made my way over there, I called my mom and told her everything that went down. She is now getting involved even more further in this issue. And now that I'm kicked out of my own house by my own dick of a dad, one of the only places I have to go is my boyfriend's place.

Forty five minutes later

"And he just did what he did. He hurt me." I told Ezra in his room. We both were talking about what went down earlier. I wiped the tears from my eyes as I told him everything. He brought me in and I dove my head into his shoulder, sobbing. He patted me on the back.

"Wow. I'm really sorry about what happened." he replied.

"He just can't do that! He just can't hurt his own daughter that way! He's even lucky that I didn't suffer any major injuries."

"I'm with you on that. Look, until this gets resolved, my house is your house also, okay? I'm here for you, Sab."

I nodded against Ezra's shoulder. "Thanks for really helping me out in my time of need, Ez."

"I'm always here for you. He just can't do that. It's wrong and it's going to get things worse."

"I just hope that our families and us can find a way to be at peace."

"I hope so too, Sabine." He looked into my eyes and kissed me lightly on the lips, wiping the remaining tears away with his thumbs. I gave him a quick kiss on his cheek, going back to resting my head on his shoulder. As I lay beside my boyfriend, I was beginning to wonder if my dad is actually thinking about all of this. I hope things change for the better.
