I was awoken by the smell of bacon and eggs drifting down the hallways, 
"mmm" I said to myself as i got myself up and stumbled down the stairs, 
"goodmorning" i said to dad who was standing in the kitchen serving up some eggs onto a plate,
"goodmirning princess" he slid the plate over to my side of the breakfast bar,
"wheres mum?" I asked as i walked over to the kitchen table. He shook his head
"I think she went out for awhile" I smiled as i started eating the bacon off of the plate, dad came and sat down next to me.

SMASH

I heard the sound of a plate crash next door, all of our windows were open so we could hear what was going on pefectly,
"MAYBE YOULL THINK TWICE NEXT TIME!" I heard a familiar voice say because hearing something else being knocked over. I jumped up and began running towards the door,
"Scarlett?" Dad said as he followed me, i ignored him and ran down the driveway, when i reached Justins house i ran through the front door which was not locked. 
"JUSTIN?!" I screamed as i walked into the kitchen hoping i would find him in there, I heard another thing smash upstairs and followed the noise almost imidiatly, I ran into Justins room where the noise was coming from, colin had Justin pinned to the floor and was repeadly punching justin in the face, 
"COLIN!" I screamed, he quicly looked up at me and quickly stood up, Justin was laying there with blood coming out of his nose and bruises already coming up, I ran to Justins side and placed his head on my knee as i tried to keep him concious 
"WHAT THE HELL?!?" I screamed at colin who was standing there trying to catch his breath, he sat there in silence
"Justin, baby are you okay?" I asked as i brushed his hair out of his eyes, he pulled himself off my knee slowly
"yeah.." He rubbed his head
"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?!" I shouted as i helped Justin stand up
"nothing.." colin said with his head down.

"NOTHING?! NOTHING?! COLIN I JUST WALKED IN ON YOU POUNDING JUSTIN IN THE FACE!" after some time justin regained strength,
"he wanted to have a talk to me about you and the baby" I rolled my eyes 
"COLIN, YOU MAKE ME SICK TO THE STOMACH! YOU KNOW THAT?!" he nodded
"im so-"
"LEAVE!" I screamed as i pointed to the stair case, he nodded and left slowly
"Oh my god Justin are you okay?" I asked as i wipped away the blood coming from his lip
"he just came in here and started hitting me because i got you pregnant" i frowned and kissed him
"dont worry about him, he makes me so angry sometimes!" he shrugged his shoulders and made his way to the bathroom to clean up his face,
"he really got me good" Justin said splashing his face with water, i nodded
"i know.. hopefully we'll never see him again" he laughed
"i couldve beaten him up" I burst out into laughter and shook my head
"Justin he had your on the ground.. you were helpless!" I shrugged his shoulders.

"so hows your dad?" He asked wipping the blood off his shirt
"hes good, thankyou so m-"
"dont thank me, i do it because i love you" I blushed
"i love you too"  I looked down to see i was still in my pyjamas 
"so are we planning on doing anything today?" I asked pushing my hair away from my ears,
"mum said i have to go out for a while with her, but that will give you time to spend with you dad" I nodded, kissed him on the cheek, said goodbye and left. Dad was standing outside on the driveway
"scarlett?! are you okay?!" he screamed as he ran over and hugged me,
"im fine dad, dont worry about it, now how about we go and finish our breakfast" He smiled adn agreed.

we sat at the table in an awkward silence eating our eggs and bacon, then I remeber what he told me the other niight
"you were with the wrong sort of people?" I asked out of the blue, 
"um, what?" Dad asked a little confused taking another sip out of his orange juice,
"you told me you didnt come home because you were with the wrong sort of people?" he paused before placing the glass back onto the table.

"dont worry about it princess" I shook my head
"tell me what happened to you, ive wanted to know this forever" he laughed before placing another piece of bacon in his mouth and taking his time to answer 
"you dont need to know these things princess" He went to grab another piece of bacon but i pulled his plate away from him
"tell. me" I said in a threatening tone.  he looked down 
"your going to make me tell you arent you?" i nodded and folded my arms, i was determained to find out why he didnt come home that night. 
"well... if you must know" he began telling me the story of that night.

"as you know i had a problem" i screwed up my face but then remebered the gambeling problem he used to have, he would bet on anything.. and i mean anything.
"um.. yes?" i replied a little confused
"well.. lets just say i bet these guys all of our money-"
"YOU WHAT?!" I screamed at him,
"Scarlett, please, let me finish" I slowly sat back down and nodded.
"well, i bet all these guys our money and i thought i would win, when i lost the bet they told me to meet up with them near the skate park, when i got there and i didnt have any money i had to run for it.. i thought they would understand that i had a wife and a child but they didnt.." I screwed up my face once again
"so you just ran away.. into hiding, you didnt even bother to call?" I started to get annoyed at him
"You dont understand scarlett, they could of tracked down the numbers, i was putting you and your mum in danger, it was better that i left" I shrugged my shoulders, 
"well atlease your here now right?" He smiled as i stood up and made my way to the foot of the stairs
"i need to change, dont go making any bets that could put our lives in danger k dad?" I said cheekily as i began walking up the stairs and into my room.

I quickly threw a hoodie on and started pulling up my jeans when i heard a loud crash come from downstairs followed by dads voice
"how did you find me here.." he said, i quickly zipped up my pants and ran to the stairs to see three men holding up guns to dad, 
"wheres the money? weve been looking for you" these were obviously the guys from the bet dad had been going on about,
"DAD!" I screamed as i ran down the stairs, the men quickly pointed their guns at me and i backed away slowly, this isnt the first time ive had a gun to my face. 
"no no shoot me, just dont harm her" they pointed the gun back at dad
"NO!" they all stared at me
"SHOOT ME! DONT HARM HIM!" They pointed the gun back at me,
"NO SH-" dad was interupted
"WE ARE JUST GOING TO SHOOT BOTH OF YOU IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY!" one of them screamed. 

Dad signaled for me to go upstairs so i wouldnt get injurd but i shook my head, i was going to wait upstairs until i heard of a gun shot and dads body hit the ground, the men started talking amoungst themselves (obviously planning something) I remebered that when i was little dad had taught me sign language so i could talk to his friend who was deaf, i started saying
"should i go and get Justin?" with my hands, dad nodded and pointed to the door. I quickly ran out to notice that the front door had been completely knocked off the hinges, i started to get scared that whedn i returned my dad would be no more.
