The days went by slower and slower everyday. "Dad please?" "No stop asking me your not going anywhere" Devin said as he was working out in the home gym. Armani really wanted to go see everleigh. "But-" "but nothing your grounded"
She left defeated knowing he wasn't going to change his mind. He's been really hard on her lately after the stunt she pulled. She hasn't seen the soft side of him rather than his tough side making it hard for her to have a conversation with him
She absolutely hates it. She misses her dad. She laid in bed with nothing to do since he took almost everything she owns. Literally. She's been wanting to ask him something but she didn't think it would go the right direction so she plans on asking her mom, Alyssa. "What's with the face?" She heard. She saw him standing at the door sweaty. She just nodded her head no
"Get ready. I have a game today so go". He had made up his mind if he continued to baby her she wasn't ever going to take him seriously. After changing he let her know it was time to go.
Usually she loves when it's time to stay with Devin, but all she wants is to go to Alyssa's house. After getting ready she met Devin downstairs where he was sitting on the couch
"Next time you need to expedite I don't have to to be waiting for you". She looked down as he made his way out the house. "Your not sitting in the front" he said and she sat in the back. She felt annoyed. He was doing a bit much. Everyone is practically over what had happened
But not Devin. He's still on the exact same thing. It's been making him miserable because he takes it out on Armani. "Dad..why are you still mad?" She asked. Devin did at even respond because he knew it would turn into a argument
He only glared at her before turning his attention back on the road. "Dad! Please tell me you've been avoiding me all week". "Armani stop it. When we get home we can talk but not now I have a game to focus on so I would love it if you would stop bugging me m'kay?"
She felt tears fill her eyes. She just wanted to know why he was being so mean? She understood she messed up but she's okay after all. They made it to the stadium and she was really upset. She just wants to be in good terms with him and have everything else calm
But Devin is making it difficult with his attitude. They made it to the arena, but Armani felt very upset. She wishes Devin would let it go so things would go back to normal she misses him
They entered the arena quietly. Devin was obviously not in a very exciting mood so he told the security to take her to her seat while he went into the locker room
She sat behind the teams bench noticing it was still pretty empty. She's so tired of her dad's attitude. He's so hotheaded and only wants things to go his way it's so annoying
"Aye fix your face I don't want you mean mugging people all game" she heard Devin say before he went up to warm up leaving her bummed at his attitude. She felt helpless and unheard
She still doesn't have her phone. She looked at Devin and he called her over. She just looked at him before walking over. "Can you stop with the facial expressions?" "How do you expect me not to get upset if you have a stank attitude with me for the past month. You've been mad rude for what? Get over it. If mom could get over it so can you. Just let it go your doing too much at this point". She looked at him wanting to rip him apart on how he's been treating her
"Mhm....how about you stop trying to tell me how to raise you? Because that would really do a favor to the both of us don't you think? Or better yet you start listening and stop giving us a hard time? Now go sit and fix your face or we are going to have a problem"
"I don't care because it seems like we- no YOU have been having a problem" "Paris sit down now" Devin said through gritted teeth. "Fuck off" she mumbled before she walked off making sure Devin heard. At this point devin was fuming. He glared at her as he gripped the ball in his hands feeling like he was about to explode. He went over and said something to his coach before he ran back to the locker room to call Alyssa
He was done
He couldn't stand a second in the same room with that kid.
"Lyssa....listen to me. You might think I'm being ridiculous but I'm telling you I'm going to fucken loose my shit in front of everyone if you don't come get Armani now. I'm about to loose my shit. I can't have this shit happening right now before my game"
"What happened?" She said before grabbing her car keys making her way trying to ease whatever is going on. She's knows Devin like the back of her hand and he sounded mad. " I'm sure she'll tell you what you want to hear not what happened" he said rubbing his face. "Just calm down okay? I understand your upset about what she did still but you need to ease up. She's fine Devin"
"Lyssa I'm not mad about that anymore. It just scares me knowing that something could've happened to her. Especially after everything that has happened-" she cut him off before he could finish what he could say. "Devin I know. But let's not talk about that right now. You go and focus and send Armani to the back. I'll be there in 30" she said before Devin hung up.
He went back out finding Armani sitting with her arms crossed against her chest, mean mug sitting on her face. "Go to the back your moms coming for you". "Thank god Im tired of you" she said pushing past him going to the back to wait on Alyssa.
That comment alone made his heart ache. But Devin wasn't going to show it. Because if he did, boy he would make a bad impression
Armani sat and waited on her mom to show up to get her away from Devin. She felt bad for saying those things to him but it was all anger and frustration. She felt like crying because she's not like that, at all
"Nini..." she heard before seeing her mom walk in the empty room. "Baby what happened" Alyssa asked sitting next to her. "He keeps bringing the same thing up over and over again. He's still on the same thing".
"Im sorry. Let's go home okay?" She said. Armani sat up and they walked out the arena.
11:53 P.M
Armani was really upset. Devin has been nothing but dismissive this entire month and she's tired of it. She can't take it anymore.
She heard a knock on her door before someone walked in. She didn't bother turning around. She was pissed. "I know your awake. Sit up" "if you say please"
Devin huffed and rolled his eyes. "No sit up-" "Dad..." she warned and he shut his eyes before cussing under his breath. "I can't believe I'm saying this.. can you please sit up" "Don't say it like that"
"Paris sit up" he exclaimed. She huffed and faced him. He looked so tired and annoyed making her glare at him. "What?" "Nothing. What do you want?"
"You keep pushing boundaries" "dad no I dont. You've been nothing but rude. You took my phone, my door, I can't talk to anyone, and you'll literally get mad over the stupidest things. Get over it".
"I am over it. I'm just putting my foot down. I'm tired of constantly being the same thing. You never learn because we let it slide to much but I'm not doing that anymore so get used to it. Now why are you acting like you can talk to me however the fuck you want?"
"That's the only way to get your attention so what about it?" I sassed. He breathed before he got up and sternly looked at me.
"Listen you know I'm done. I'm over it. I can't believe that you think you can talk to me like that and act like this. Anyways I'm sending you away"
"What?"
"You're going to Mississippi. Where I started out"
"WHAT?!"
