Jake paused then nodded, “I can help you,
but don’t hurt Anna.”
Jake was doing this for me, then I yelled,
“Don’t!”
I came into the room.
“Anna, what are you doing here?”
I asked. “How long would vou have lied?”
L
“I told you he was bad, don’t help him.”
“He doesn’t deserve help.”
My dad frowned and stared at me.
“You are disrespecting me.
“I’m your father, are you not scared?”
I asked “You’re my father?”
“When we were alone and scared, where were
you?”
“When you killed my mom, where were you?”
“When I was hurt and alone, where were
you?”
“You left so many times, where were you then
as a father?”
He looked mad.
He said, “I made you, that means you pay for
me!”
I didn’t say anything.
I looked at Jake.
“Jake, I know you care, but he doesn’t
deserve it.”
“He is not a good person, leave him alone.”
Jake looked at me sadly.
“I don’t want people to say you are bad, I can
do this.”
“I don’t care about spending money, I care
about you.”
“If you can be happy then I can do anything.”
Jake was so sincere.
Would he cheat on me?
If not, why would he kill me for lube?
If not, why did he save me?
He then said, “See, even he is better than
you.”
“You are a woman, stay out of this.”
Г
“Leave!”
I yelled, “You leave!”
“This is Jake’s house, you get nothing from
him!”
My dad yelled, “Are you kicking me out?”
I said, “Yes.”
He then looked mad.
“You want me hurt? Well then you should
die!”
He grabbed a knife.
He then came to stab me.
