C3 Chapter 3

I hurried outside with my heart beat very fast in fear at what Derrick will do to me

"Hi Derrick "I greeted nervously

"I'm not here for pleasantries bitch where's my fucking money " he asked with anger laced in his voice

"To be honest Derrick I got the money this morning but it somehow got into the wrong hands and now its gone " I replied nervously

"You playing games with huh?? I lent you this money out of my business money and you promised to pay back with interest and now all you do is telling me stories I'm not gonna hear that again" he growled angrily

He pushed me aside and went into the house with his goons and began picking things that are useful

There aren't much useful things in our house, just a television and a useless typewriter

"There isn't any useful thing here boss"one of his goons said with much irritation

"Go upstairs there'll be some useful things in their wretched house"

They bounded heavily upstairs and within few minutes they came back with my phone

"Shit " I cursed under my breath

"You can't take that phone I mean I just got it few weeks ago please Derrick I'll pay just give me time"

"Time, Time I'm losing my patience lady I love my money and I don't joke with it

Let's go boys"

He strode out with his guys

I broke down in tears

What kind of fucked up life is this??

I worked so hard to get that phone and I've barely used it now its gone

I really wish I wasn't born at all, I mean what's the point of been born to useless parents who don't even care about how you feed or live all they're concerned about is money, alcohol and cigarettes

Even the money they don't know how it came about

Just then mother came in whistling her favorite Dolly parton song

I hissed in annoyance

"Ava where's that useless father of yours?? "

I ignored her and continued staring at the space

She came over and pulled my ears

"When I talk you give me an answer girl, I'm still your mother "

"Ouch " I yelped in pain

" he told me to tell you he's at the pub "

I thought as much that useless man, anyways you got any money on you?? "

"No"

"What!! How can you say you don't have any money what have you been doing out there last night???, playing?? Or you went to see your boyfriend?? "

"I was out working and for your information I don't have a boyfriend and you know that, I had some money on me but your husband collected it from me"

"Darn it I should have known you were going to give your father useless child "she said with contempt laced in her voice

"Anyways I'll borrow some money from the lady next door and make sure you pay back tomorrow "

"Jeez mom what's wrong with you?? Must you drink and smoke everyday??

She strode out without replying me

I sighed heavily as I made my way upstairs

***** ****** *****

"And you'll pay me back with interest right?? "

"Yes boss I promise "

"Hmm when am I getting it back?? "

"Next week boss"

"Come with me " he growled as I followed him shakily

****** ****** ******

I was in my favorite spot down the river enjoying the cool breeze when someone tapped me and I flinched

It was Marcia my best friend

"Heyy Ava what are you doing out here??, aren't you supposed to be at the party?? "

"Huh what party" I asked slightly confused because I don't remember being invited to any party

"What!! There's a big party going on at your house with free foods and drinks "

I pushed her and quickly hoped on her bike ignoring her shouts

When I got home our house was crowded with people smoking, drinking and dancing

I pushed my way inside and found father seated with his friends

"Hey Ava you're back join the fun"he cackled loudly

"Father what's going on??

Where did you get money to throw such party"I asked him in confusion

"Just enjoy the party I'll explain to you later"he replied shoving a glass of drink into my hands
