"Dad!?"
I looked at him in confusion, because he looked different then the last time I saw him. His braids were replaced with waves, and his eyes were somewhat red.
"It's me baby girl."
He opened his arms and tried giving me a hug, but instead I put my hand up to stop him, and started laughing.
"What brings you by after almost two years?"
"I got myself together. I'm ready to be a father again."
"Hmm I didn't know you could you could pause being a parent."
"I know you don't care, but I was having a hard time coping with your mother's situation. I wasn't just drinking I was heavy on drugs. Your mother wasn't allowing it so I chose drugs over my family and now I regret it."
"Mommy tired."
Terrell said as he was holding onto my leg looking up at our father, who was looking down at him in shock.
"You had a baby!?"
I picked Terrell up and he laid his head on my shoulder still looking at our father.
"Nope meet Terrell, this is my brother which is your son."
"How?"
I started to laugh but instead I smirked.
"Mom was pregnant, and before she died she had him."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"How old is he?"
"One."
He dropped his head.
"Damn, anything else I miss?"
He said while looking up and staring at Terrell.
"Besides him growing up and me graduating nope."
"So that's why all these cars are here?"
"Yep."
"Can I come in?"
"For?"
"To celebrate with you. And I do still live here and I did take part in buying this house."
"I don't care."
As I turned around to go back in the house, out the corner of my eye I seen him rub his nose.
"That's a shame."
"What?"
He looked at me like a deer caught in headlights. I put Terrell down and told him to go get in the bed.
Once I watched him walk away form the door I closed it and walked out onto the porch.
"I'm not stupid, I know you still on that shit. Don't think now that you can come back and start acting right knowing you have other intentions."
"But I don't."
"Yes you do look at you. You came to steal your a damn dope head."
"No i didn't. I promise to get better."
He looked at me with pleading tired eyes.
"Once you really get better I'll consider, but until then please stay far away from us."
"But I need my family back."
"When your family needed you the most you were gone, so it's best it stayâ that way."
"That hurts to know."
"Well sorry to tell you but the truth hurts."
I said while turning around going in the house only to hit everyone with the door.
"Y'all so damn nosey."
I said while walking in and closing the door standing infront of it.
"Girl shut up now who is that man out there? He looked fine as hell."
Cookie asked while still looking at the door like she could see him through it.
"That was my father."
"Go tell your father I said heyyyyy. He's one fine piece of chocolate."
"Yea see that's not going to happen."
"Gurl I'll do it myself then."
She tried opening the door, but I grabbed her hand before she could open it.
"Ok I'll do it."
She started smiling, I really wasnt going to do it, I just wanted to ask him another question before he disappeared again. When I went to look for him, I heard voices so I moved quietly down the pathway staying out of sight.
"Sooooo?"
"Look man I tried. She ain't falling for it."
"Well you need to do something because you owe me big money twenty thousand to be exact."
"I know man. But what you want me to do?"
"I want you to get my money. What the hell kind of question was that?"
"But I can't though."
"Why not?"
"She won't let me in. Shes not a little girl she's basically a women."
"How old is she again?"
"She just turned seventeen three months ago."
"Alright, well let's make a deal."
"What is it?"
"If you can't get me twenty thousand then you give me your sexy ass daughter."
"Shit you might as well take her then, because she not letting me in the house so I can't steal shit."
"You serious?"
"Yea. Go ahead, but don't just take her take the baby to, they need one another."
"What baby?"
"She claims I got a son, but I don't remember my wife being pregnant."
"Alright. Well let's get out of here, now I gotta devise a plan on how to get her."
"Do what you gotta do. As long as I'm good, she's all yours."
I couldn't even cry I just stood there in shock, I slowly walked back into the house ignoring everyone, and just went to my room falling face first on my bed crying.
I am really worth twenty thousand!?
That's the question I kept asking myself as I cried into my pillow.
My father has lost all my respect and I hope he dies. He'd rather sell me out then pay his debt back the right way.
"What's wrong?"
"I am I really worth twenty thousand?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Instead of my father coming up with twenty thousand dollars, I'm what he's giving instead."
"Your not going anywhere, I promise you that."
I never looked at Shamar but I knew he had his thinking face on.
"How do you know! I don't even know who the hell he was talking to!"
"Stop yelling I got this."
"You got what?"
I heard my door close as I heard Devon's voice, then I felt movement on my bed.
"Instead of her dad paying up twenty thousand, he letting whoever get her."
"Nah that's not going to happen. Is he still out there Rain?"
"I don't know."
"I'll go look."
Shamar walked out the room and closed my door, leaving Devon to stare at me.
"Please leave me alone."
"I'm not going to argue with you, so I advise you to start packing your shit and by the time I come back be ready to go."
He got off my bed giving me a mean glare, before walking out my room leaving the door wide open.
