Daddy's Problems

Chapter 2: For Your Safety

Veronica's POV

I wake up and  my mind goes straight to leaving this town and going back to college where all my friends are, but I still wanna know why my dad wants me to leave so bad he's the one who begged me to come back home for the summer.

I walk down stairs to get some breakfast but while getting my cereal I get a text from a random number.

792-265-75818

Hey it's JJ from the race. I was wondering if we could meet up?

I suddenly got a burst of happiness I immediately texted him back.

Veronica Jones

Hey yeah we can meet up before i head back to college today, is 3:45 alright for you?

JJ Miller

Yeah of course I'll see you at 3:45

It was already 11:30 and I had all packed and ready to hit the road for a 2 hour road trip back to college. But I couldn't get my mind off JJ I was already so thrilled to get to see him again. God I sound like a clingy ass girlfriend. God no Veronica don't we don't need him.

I looked down at my phone and it was already 12, iv'e been fighting with myself for half an hour. God Veronica you gotta stop doing that. I quickly rushed upstairs to get all my stuff ready

After a while of packing and cleaning up this god for saken room my father comes in and looks at him with a weird ass face. I will never understand this man.

"When are you leaving?" he asks without looking at me

"Around 3 why?" I ask

"You need to leave sooner, you need to be out the house by 1. Understand? " My dad replies while pointing to me.

"Fine, you know you were the one who begged me to come home from college. I left my friends for the summer to  come here and now you want me out not even a month into the summer. Talk about being an asshole." I drop the shit in my hands and stand up

"I should have never came, you were never there when I was a kid and you aren't now. So how are you any different, I should have never trusted you again. Not after what happened to mom" I yell at him

"It's for your fucking safety Veronica, I'm making you leave because of the business." He yells at me.

"Bullshit, I've been apart of the ' Family ' business forever. I grew up in the goddamn mafia dad. That's what the family business is, the fucking mafia. And because we were in the mafia you were never fucking there, I had a father never a dad. I was 5 fucking years old  training and getting ready for the family, while not having you around I never had a childhood. I never got to be a kid, and after mom" I was cut off by my own tears, I pushed them back before they could fall

"After mom was killed. In front of me might I add I was never the fucking same. So for you to say it's for my goddamn safety is fucking bullshit and you know it."

"I'm 22 fucking years old I can handle my own fucking shit,  You took my childhood away from me to train me for the mafia. I'm not about to have you take away my adult hood to. I don't need your help anymore I'll be fine without you"
