Deflated Rain

6: The date & The step-father

A hand on her arm

whirled her around

her breath hitched when she noticed

her step-father's deep frown

"What are you doing out here"

drunkenly, he inquired

'waiting for my date?'

but she doubt that piece of information was required

And like the 'smooth liar' she was;

"Uh.., air? F-fresh air."

just like that his unfocused gaze

turned into a full glare

She leaned back

when he leaned in,

"Don't lie to me, you bitch"

he spat, while gripping her chin

The girl turned around

and trudged down the road,

Struggling with the awfulness

As she pulled out her headphone cords

"Finally found a boy toy to play with, aye, you whore!"

he went on.

turning, she flipped him the bird

only to spot a bmw parked in front of her lawn

Her heart skipped a beat,

upon seeing him

in his clean cut suit

his once cool demeanor, grim

Sean walked up to her,

wearing his signature grin

on the inside all he really felt was

pure chagrin

"Ready?"

he asked upon reaching her

holding up her hand

kissing it, light as a fur

The boy offered her his arm

which she gladly took

"Is that the boy you're whoring around with?"

the step-father barked, with a disgusted look

Sean led Rain to his car,

and told her to wait

then he went up to the old man

who couldn't even stand straight

The girl couldn't hear

the words that passed between them

worried all she did was

fiddle with her dress's hem

Sean said something

to the man;

his eyes widened with panic

and inside the house, he ran

Rain had been looking at

the old man's retreating figure

"Shall we?" Suddenly, the guy holding open

the car door looked much bigger

With a deep breath

"We shall."

relieved, she settled on the plush leather seat, for

escaping the drama and her own personal hell

Even if it lasted for a little while,

she was determined to make the best of it
