She'd rather see me dead than face me.
Chapter 5~Don't bring it up.
~Tony’s POV~
After everyone was done eating, we all got back to work. It surprised me that no one brought up what had happened earlier. We continued to work for about four more hours before we began to pick up for the day. As soon as I was done cleaning, I started to make my way to my truck to put away my tools. As I was walking , I heard someone call after me. I turned around to see Jesus.
“Tony, do you have a minute to talk?”
“Um sure, about what?” I asked as if I didn’t already know.
“You know about what. About my daughter.”
“Oh…that.” I said as Jesus watched my every move ever so closely.
“Yes. Now first of all, what was all that about? What did she do?”
“Well she came in here and I just didn’t think she should’ve been here. I swear I didn’t know who she was.”
“Well yea but even after you did know who she was, you were quite rude. Care to explain?”
“I just thought it would be funny to mess around with her. She has quite an attitude ya know.”
“Yea I guess but if you see her again, please be careful. The things she’s gone through have made her quite a sensitive person even though it might not seem like it.”
“Well what exactly has made her that way?” I asked, curiosity evident in my voice.
“Things I will tell you later Tone. Well I’ll see you tomorrow. Drive home safe.” He started to walk away. I wanted to know why he said ‘things have made her a sensitive person’ but I shrugged it off and decided he probably meant that she doesn’t know how to take jokes very well. I climbed in my truck and started towards my apartment. I arrived about 20 minutes later to my empty, lonely home.I decided to skip dinner since i wasn't really hungry. I showered and decided to play my guitar for a bit before heading to bed.
~Kari’s POV~
I couldn’t believe him. What a jerk. I swear I never want to see him again in my life. I stormed out of the construction and skated away towards my home. All I want is to drain myself in music right now. I was so invested in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice that I was already home. I leaped off my board, picked it up, and began to walk from my driveway towards my doorstep. I searched the Narnia that I must call my pocket for my keys until they found their way into my hand. I took them out and put the key in the door, turning it to the right until I heard the clicking noise of the lock. I removed the key and walked into my house. Like always, I was alone while my dad was at work. I sighed and walked up the steps to my room. It was covered in drawing and some graffiti work on canvases that I did on my own along with band posters. I set my board down behind my door and made my way to a drawer. I searched it for my ipod and I reached out for it. I plugged it into speakers and the house was soon filled with the sound of Roger Rabbit by Sleeping with Sirens. I started to sing along, “Is there a right way for how this goes? You got your friends and you got your foes. They want a piece of something hot, forget your name like they forgot. Ain’t that something. Some wanna see you crash and burn and criticize your every word. I’m trying to keep from going insane, aint that the way of this whole damn thing.” I thought to myself, the lyrics are very true. “hmph, fucking tony gotta criticize everything but im not going to go insane.” I said to myself. I looked at the time, 4:30. I should probably start making dinner now. I decided to make tacos. About a half hour later, my dad was home and the dinner was done. I pretended to eat my tacos in peace, but I was literally mentally praying that he didn’t bring up the asshole incident from earlier. My praying was interrupted by my dad speaking.
“So Kari,” fuck. I was so close to not talking about it,” about today, I’m really sorry that had to happen. I don’t know why tony acted that way. Are you ok?”
“Yea its fine I had already forgotten about it.” I lied trying to get out of the conversation as soon as possible.
“Then why are you so quiet?”
“I’m just tired. Really that’s all.” God forgive me for lying so much.
“Oh well go ahead and go to bed. I’ll wash the dishes.”
“Ok thanks dad. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight mija.”
With that, I headed upstairs and got ready for bed. About 10 minutes later, I got in my bed and fell sound asleep.
