A Tough Decision

Imagine, it's 1am in the morning and I'm here sitting on the bed thinking what to do and I have school tomorrow. I've been in deep thinking since Brad drove me home(which is his home.) Anyhow, while still in deep thought, I hear Brad shifting from left to right and he startle me with his cute voice.

"Baby, why are you still up?" he said groaning in his sleep.

"It's nothing," I say lowly.

"If it was nothing baby, you'd be sleeping by now."

I remain silent and then he gets up laying on my lap.

"What's on your mind?"

"My parents."

"Your step dad?"

"Mostly."

"What are you thinking of in terms of him?"

".....if I should kill him or not.."

Brad looks up at me and I look down at him.

"Veronica and I was talking about it yesterday....she's saying he's hurting me and my Mom and my Mom should leave him."

"She's not wrong. So why are you thinking about killing him instead of making your Mom leave him?"

"Because I'm scared he's going to hurt her again. That's why my mind keeps running on to either kill him or not."

"Well I don't want my girlfriend to be a killer. So you and your Mom needs to sort this out or I'm going to sort it out. Because if that son of a bitch goes to a point where he messes up your beautiful face I'm going to mess up his life. Period."

"Calm down Dada," I say rubbing down his hair, "it's going to be okay. We're not going to go through all that. I'm going to call Mom and we'll talk about it okay Dada?"

"Okay baby."

I lean down and kiss him and then he tells me to go to sleep as he go back to the floor. I watch him as he goes back to sleep and I go to sleep after.

About 6 o'clock in the morning, I got up and dial Mom's number and call her.

"Hello?" She says as she answers.

"Mom, it's Ashley."

"Ashley baby, where in the world are you? I'm worried sick about you," she sounds like she's whispering maybe because he's around.

"Don't worry Mom, I'm perfectly fine. Listen Mom, I have to go to school now so I want you to meet me alone at the park 5pm sharp."

"Why sweetie?"

"I'll explain everything when we meet."

"Okay sweetie but, where are you?"

"I'll explain everything when we meet, promise. I have to go okay?"

"Okay, love you sweetie."

"Love you too Mom. And one more thing, don't tell Dad about any of this. This is between you and me.

" Yes sweetie. He'll never know."

"Okay bye," I say and I hang up and I see Brad staring from behind me.

"What?"

"Oh nothing, just seeing how your ass has grown."

I blush very hard and quickly turn facing him. "You pervert!"

He laughs at me. "Adorable. Ready to go?"

I pout then I nod. "Yea, let's go."
