"Wait a minute.. Leah did you really think about this ?" My dad asked me sounding a little concerned
"Yes dad.. I really want to do this" I said looking at him
"Leah..honey..." He said exhaling and shaking his head
"Don't try to change my mind" I said rolling my eyes and getting angry
"I'm not Leah but this is to much , you just can't.. Leah please just think more about this" He said trying to change my mind
"NO DAD, I HAVE TO DO THIS AND I NEED YOUR HELP, I DON'T WANT TO BRING MY CHILD INTO THIS WORLD AND HIS OR HER FATHER IS STILL ABUSING ME I AM DOING THIS AND YOU ARE HELPING ME" I yelled.
The car got quiet I turned around and looked at Jamarcus play with his fingers "Jamarcus baby you okay ?" I asked him
"Yes mommy I'm just scared" He said looking down and still playing with his fingers
"We're going to be okay baby" I said reaching for his leg and rubbing it "If only grandpa would help us" I said looking at him
"Leah.. YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU LEAVE...Leah I can't...I just can't" He said getting emotional
"WHY NOT DAD ?" I yelled
"BECAUSE I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE KNOWING I CAN'T CALL MY BABY GIRL JUST TO CHIT CHAT OR CALL JUST TO CALL AND ASK TO TALK TO MY GRANDSON BECAUSE YOU WANT TO.....Leah I can't"
"OH MY GOD DAD YOU DON'T GET IT, YOU DON'T GET IT AT ALL" I said sitting back
"Explain it to me then, help me understand why I should help you ?"
I looked around the car with a confused look on my face "HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHY SHOULD YOU HELP ME ?" I yelled holding my hand to my chest "DAD YOU ARE THE MOST SELFISH MAN I EVER MET IN MY LIFE.." I yelled
"How am I selfish Leah ?" He asked sounding confused and irritated
"HE PUT ME IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL DAD"
"WATCH YOUR MOUTH" He yelled
"HE ABUSES ME DAD...HE BEATS ME, HE SCARES MY CHILD, HE.... he put me in the hospital dad, what else do I have to say ? He always told me he was going to kill me and he... He was so close to it this time dad...And my son.. dad my son" I started to cry when I looked at Jamarcus through the mirror
"I get honey, I get it but sweetheart you don't understand and you have to understand you are my baby girl you are the only one out of all my children who still talks to me. I can't help you because I don't want my only child who still claims me to leave me like the others and your mother did. You get it now ? I don't want you to block me out of your life like your older siblings and your mother did" He said getting teary eyed
"Dad look I'll just either buy a new phone or change my number okay ? and we can just stay at a hotel because dad he is at your house and I'm not putting us in danger okay ? so we can stay at a hotel."
"I am an retired cop Leah I know how to protect" He said sounding sarcastic
"You know what dad I'll ask mom" said grabbing my phone and turning it on
"We both know your mother is only going to call him" He said telling nothing but the truth
"Okay but dad you still don't get it I am leaving because.." I looked at Jamarcus through the mirror he looked at me and wiped his face, "Baby what's wrong ?" I asked him
"I'm scared mommy I don't want to see daddy he yells a lot" He said crying
I looked at my dad and watched him while his facial expressions changed. "You're not going to see your dad Jamarcus and we aren't going to be seeing him anymore I promise" I said looking at him and sounding serious
