I have never seen my father so angry . I knew he felt betrayed and didn't really know how to handle the situation . He let his anger get the best of him which resulted in him committing murder which also led him to sit in jail . Immediately after he done his dirty deed , they swept him away and I requested for my grandmother to come and get me . That was nearly a week ago .
My grandmother was so livid and strangely more at my father than towards Kaleb .
"He let that sick bastard into his home!" She continually rants . She was frying some chicken nuggets for Jessie and i .
"I can't stand none of them!" She saids more to herself . I just sat there with my head down . She haven't even talked to me properly without going off about how terrible my father was .
I don't blame my dad for anything . He wasn't aware of his uncle's twisted ways so why should I blame him for this ?
Her cell begins to ring . She frustratedly slams the knife down then reached for her phone , answering it without looking at it .
"Hello?" She yells which caused Jessie to jump in fear .
"Ana?" I heard my father's voice .
"Didn't I tell you to stop calling my phone!"
"I just need you to take Lani to the doctor Ana damn!" He bellows .
"You sick twisted bastard allowed a rapist in your home! How dare you!" She cries then hangs up the phone .
"My dad didn't know anything about it." I defended him . I just had about enough of her and her assumptions .
She leans on the counter and sighs . "Just go in your room until the food is ready . I don't have time for this." She waves me off .
"But you're wrongly accusing my dad which isn't right at all-"
"Go do what I say Lani!" She scolds heartbrokenly . I stayed there and glared at her but eventually stood to go in the guest room . I placed Jessie on the bed . She begins to clap and stare off into the ceiling . I laid next to her , closing my eyes to receive some relaxation .
"I'm tired." I said to Jessie . She then starts to tug at my hair .
"Ow." I chuckled .
After awhile my grandma then calls for us to come and eat . I grabbed my baby sister and went to the kitchen . I sat Jessie in her high chair . I sat down next to her as my grandma sat my plate in front of me . She fried some chicken nuggets and fries .
I poured some ketchup into my plate and begin to eat .
"I'm sorry about my outburst Lani." My grandma genuinely apologizes . I nodded .
"It's just getting harder and harder for me everyday." She explains . "The system won't relieve me or even raise my monthly check." She sniffles .
I raised up to glance at her .
"Lani . I'm not able to care for you and Jessie."
"What does that suppose to mean?" I chewed on a chicken nugget .
"Tomorrow morning , the social worker is coming to get either you or Jessie since I'm not capable of caring for both of you." I folds her hands together .
"Are we going to another family members house?" I asked .
"No . Unfortunately I'm the only family y'all have ."
