Deadly father

Month of May my mother told me to pack my bags. I didn't know what was going on. " Mom, why do we need to pack?" I thought we was leaving dad. Honey, I don't have time to explain!" So, that made me think we was leaving dad. As I packed I could hear my dad yelling for me. My mother ran to me and helped me pack as quickly as we could. "Grace is there anything breakable in any of these bags?" Asked my mom quietly. " No, it's all in my black moonshine side purse. It's not much, just small glass items from grandma!" Why was she doing this and why was my dad so angry? " Your not taking my daughter!" Shouted my dad at the top of his lungs banging on my room door so hard my door was shaking.. I was so scared, I just yelled back at him. "Dad,she's helping me with a girl situation, what are you talking about?" I figured he would have believed me, well I hoped! Ok grab as many bags as you can and throw them out the window, we will grab them on our way out!" Whispered my mom. I didn't know what to do, so I just grabbed as many bags as I could and threw them. I was pregnant with my last kid. Trevor was inside the car with his two sisters. My mom told me where they where. She made sure my dad didn't know where the kids was, he honestly thought they was in bed, well until.. " Where are my grandkids!" He yelled back. "Where are they?" I didn't know what he did so I just said that their daddy came get them. He knew Emily slept with me, while Payton and Trevor's room was next to me. Between me and mom. Dad slept on the couch most of the times. Mom locked the door when he came home late, she knew he was cheating on her.

After all my bags was out the window, I threw some of me and Emily's shoes out in trash bags, because I ran out of bags. I walked out of my room to get Trevor and Payton's clothes. I had to tell my dad to make me some sweet tea, because of my contractions. We all know that was a lie, only to get him away while I hurried. They had 3 baby bags to I packed. " Where you think you going?" Asked my father, very angry and drunk." The kids need some more clothes." That's all I could say, I couldn't tell him we're leaving. "Yeah, then lettme drive it there." I was so scared that I just told him something Ive never told any of my parents, like ever. " No, it's my kids my responsibility I will take care of my kids myself!" He looked so shock he just walked out and went to my room. Although the door was locked. "Why is your door locked?" I was getting mad, because he just wouldn't mind his business. " Just mind your business, my door may be looked for a reason. Go downstairs and do something with your life. My life isn't your business unless I need it to be!" I have no clue where those words came from but they came. Soon after, he threw the steaming tea on the ground. Glass shattered everywhere. " Mom, stay in the room! I'm coming!" My dad got so mad he almost tripped going downstairs, the way he yelled. I knew he was going to do something stupid, so I grabbed the bags and ran to my room took mom some time to get to the door she was throwing things out and putting thing in place like we wasn't going anywhere, but we really was. I threw out many bags and went get more as I heard him coming back up. I ran to my mother with 3 more bags and threw them out. We locked the door and my mother made a rope out of my blanket, sheets, and the other sheet thing to cover up with, also. We had to get some more blankets out the closet to make it long enough.

"Amber,you go first. Be careful I'm holding it!" Banging began on the door. "Lett me in" His voice grew louder and louder. "Mom, what about you who's going to be the rope for you?" I didn't want the rope to break and I couldn't catch her I'm 7 months pregnant. Surprised I didn't break the rope. " I'm going to tie it to the bed but hold it also for you. When I go down I'm going to tie the small blanket on the leg of the dresser on the other side. Hurry! He'll break the door! Goo, goo!!" I didn't have to.e so I just went. Scared then ever. As soon as I was close to the age I could hear my kids. " Mommy! Mommy!" Is all I heard. I was focused on their voice. Which led my feet safly on the ground. My kids ran out of the car so fast to me. " Mommy, are we moving?" Was the first thing Trevor said. " Honey, I'm not sure. Payton help your brother carry some bags I'm going to help granny down." When mom got down we grabbed bags after bags as fast as we could. Once all our bags was in the car including mom's we left. We didn't know where we was going but we left. We ended up at my brother's. My husband has been at work cutting rice and decided to stay at work in an work cabin. We could have went but I have 3 kids and one on the way and Emily was a baby. So I just went to my moms and slept in my childhood room and my kids well guest room turned into theirs. We all made ourselves fit in Josh's kids room. They were with their mom jacy. It was very crowded but we managed to do it somehow.

The next morning, we ate then I went into work and took on Jacy's shift. My mom watched the kids. When I arrived, I didn't expect Walmart to be this packed! It was like trying to get threw a college party. My manager came in to clear up spaces around the store, then I had to take on register 6. When I got their 8 people was already in line, well that's what I got to count before I got in the back of the register. "Hi, is this all you need, today?" I tried to be nice but she was another Karen! "Don't you think, it's all here isn't it?" Lord, did I want to throw her can of tuna at her face. But I also didn't want to get suspended or lose my job. "Ma'am that's part of my job. My manager told me to say that to everyone, sorry if I disturbed you." That's the nicest thing I could get close to. After, my register time was up I had to walk around the store to adjust things, or see if something needs to be replaced. As I was doing dad my dad was right behind me. I walked normal and turned off. He turned and followed me until I went into the restroom. I called my mom fast... " Mom, dad's here! I think he might know my work schedule! I didn't start Jacy's yet I have 20 min he must have known it was my break after walking for 19 minutes! I'm in the bathroom!" I wasnt ready to talk to him. " Honey, just walk away from him and tell him you can't talk to him unless he need help finding something!" I did that and we'll... " Hey, hey, Amber!!" There he went shouting my name as if he needs help. "Hey, dad. What do you need?" I figured he wanted to talk to me so I just went with the work flow my mom told me to do. ". Hum, no I just wanted to ask you, why'd y'all leave? When y'all coming home?" Well, he did it. Now it was my turn. "Sorry, can't talk on the job, do you need help with anything?" So I sticked to the work flow. " Yes, I do need help. Show me where the answer is to the questions I just asked you!" Wow, that took a turn! "Dad, I'm working I can't leave me alone if you don't need help." That's the best I could say, although I have 2 minutes to talk to him. Well I chose not to, because I didn't know the answers to his questions, I really didn't! "Amber, help me here!" It almost made me cry but I just told him, " Not until I know your sober I will answer them, but to be honest I don't know the answers." Then I walked into the staff only room and grabbed a carton of school products and brought them to their places and organized them basically for nothing, people have no respect.

When I got back to my kids, we went to a hotel just me and my kids. Mom stayed with Josh. When I got to the hotel I was not the type of person to just lock the door. I made my own lock with a fork and I put a glass cup on the job as if anyone would try to get in the glass will fall and face me. I even put 2 chairs in front the doors. I made very much sure my kids was close to me. The other bed, we but our bags on. I stayed up late looking at alot of home security. Knock knock, I heard at the door. Kids was sleep, it was 4 in the morning. I looked threw the hole to see my dad. I ignored it until he kept knocking and banging so bad he was cursing so I called home security, he even woke the kids. I put them in the bathroom when security got there. My dad was in jail after and I finally got sleep. I was off the next day so I grabbed our bags and hotel workers helped me. My kids walked every trip there and back next to me. When I was done, we went home and Joey was done cutting rice! I was so happy, then I told him everything. I received a message from my mother.

"Amber, are y'all safe?" Is what the message read. "Yes, mom we are safe. Joey is going to install more security in and outside the house. After our conversation was over, it was time to give the kids a bath. Trevor went frst, thenm Payton and Emily went in together. I didn't start supper, because when we did get home my kids surrounded me with questions, so Joey told them to go play. I sat the kids on the couch watching TV, while I cooked. During the process of cooking I heard Trevor talking to someone. I assumed it was Joey, but Joey was still in the shower. The water was still running. I walked out to see my father sitting next to my kids, talking to them. He was asking them questions." Uhm, dad?" The room was silent. He didn't look at me or answer me. He just kept on talking to the kids. "Dad! Who let you in? My doors are locked!" I wasso confused, until the back door was unlocked. The front was still locked. Trevor can't unlock the back door, it's hard to pull the handle to lift it. Payton can't reach it, and Emily is just a baby. Who could have unlocked the door? Did he break in? "Amber, Trevor let me in." His words was flying threw my head. "He can't reach the lock, dad. You broke in! Joey!" I hollered for my husband. "Amber, sweetie, shh! Not little one. Trevor, my co-worker." As soon as he said that my heart dropped! I had a closer next to my back door, and it's small. No way a human can fit in their. Right before I knew it Trevor not my Trevor, my father's Trevor walked out from behind the rocking chair. " Isn't it scary? Seeing me come from behind a rocking chair." What was going on? Joey rushed out of the shower and met with me. He threw on his clothes, still soaked in water. "Who is that? Preston what are you doing here?" Joey was distracted by Trevor after he said that. "Ah, Joey! Long time no see!" They know each other? I had a really bad feeling about this. I could smell the food burning. I went to cut it off then had an idea. I called my mom to help me. Josh, and Heather came to help, also.

"Mom, I don't have much time to talk. Dad is here with his co-worker Trevor. Trevor been in my house along time. He wasn't behind the rocking chair when I first put the kids down. They would have seen him go to the chair. He must have been living in my walls. I'm scared, so come over and stanbl by the nursery window. I will text you an thumbs up when I know for sure that I'm in the clear to unlock the room window. Then you will come in and close the door, grab as many baby things as you can, bring the Josh's Trish by the window and load them. Trevor's window is unlocked. I will send the kids to Trevor's room. When Trevor unlocks his window, he will hand you Emily, and Payton will climb to you. Trevor will stay behind to unlock Payton's window. Then after that he will unlock Emily's window as soon as he unlock Payton's. Then grab him from Payton's room!!" I know, it was a lot, but it's going to work, that's how we snuck out. "Ok, but what if they catch us?" Well, that made me worried! "They won't, not a good time, but that's how we snucked out.. K, bye!" I was so scared to tell her but it was years ago. I didn't have anything to worry about, expect that she would be disappointed in all of her kids. " Trevor take your sisters to the room!" My father looked at me dumb. " They can stay, we aren't killing anybody." Well, that didn't explain the gun. That's really what I wanted to say, but I didn't want him to fire the gun."Dad, these are my children. Go to the nursery, now!" Trevor went to grab Emily, but Joey did and took them to the back. He told me to go to, but I said no. I yelled everything from the kitchen, so I had time to do what I was doing. I know it a threat but I have to. I sent this message to my mom: " send me a thumbs up when you are far from the house. Me and Joey will make it out. I'm setting the house on fire when your done." I knew my mom would disagree.

"Amber!" I knew it. I should have to Josh instead. Before she could blab, I ignored her messaged but, I looked to see if they was an emergency. I went back to the living room after I left the food running. But I didn't think my own father would tie me down. He tied me to a chair in the kitchen. "Did you cut the food off?" Asked my dad. "Yes, it's going to smell burnt for about an hour." That's the best lie I could say. He just made my husband sit on the couch with body guards. He put a chair in front of me and sat down. "Why did y'all really leave?" I'd the first thing he asked. "Dad, I really don't know, either way I was leaving to come home!" He was mad, I seen it in his face. " Leave my wife alone! She said she doesn't know!" I could feel my body freeze when he put the gun point to my legs. " Your wife? She is my daughter." I didn't think my dad loved me, I think he's just using me for clout. I'm an author, and I write books. Yes, I'm famous for it, but not that famous. "Dad, just ask and I'll answer!" He looked happier when I said that. "Where did y'all go? What did she say?" I didn't know what he meant, because she didn't tell me anything. "We went to Josh's, and she didn't tell me what it was about! I asked, she said she doesn't have time to explain. But I assumed it was, because y'all were fighting. You were drunk!" He looked into my soul. Furious. "I wasn't drunk. I'm sober. And if you keep lying to me, I'll kill your husband, chain you to a wall and let you watch him die. Then I'll take your kids!" I cried and cried yelling at him. " I'm not lying! Ask her.!!!" My phone chimed and he picked it up. My texted me a thumbs up. I didn't even text her mine yet. I grabbed a vase off of the table and hit him in his head. I cut the ropes off as fast as I could. To realize, the body guards had already had their guns pointing at me. " You don't want to do this, where did y'all even come from?" Where did they come from. I thought they lived in the walls. " Amber, these men don't care!" Trevor I forgot about him. "What are you still doing here?" I thought he would walk away,but this isn't a movie. " I live here, with you. I belong here. I am not going anywhere." The fire alarm went off and smoke was crowding the house. Joey ran threw the back door holding my hand. Trevor was right behind us with those guard guys. All I could think of is, it's about to blow. But, my dad was still in there, yes he deserves hell but not this way, like rotting in prison is what I meant. I can't go back in so I called 911. I didn't know where Trevor or the 2 bod-

2 weeks later, I woke up in the hospital. I saw my family all expect my dad. My stomach felt weird, and a baby was in my moms arms. "Amber! He's here. Zayden! Here, hold your baby." I took zayden and was so lost in my head. "What is going on?" My mother looked at me so confused. "Well, what are you talking about?" What.. I don't even, she really has me studdering right now! "Mom I don't remember giving birth or being dilated. I only remember seeing flames blowing up!" Then I thought about my dad. " Mom, did dad burn alive?" The answer I wanted to hear was no, he's in rehab but the answer I got was: "yes, honey I'm so sorry. I know you didn't mean to leave him, you just couldn't go in, you were pregnant. But he was a drunk wreck but he loves us somewhere deep down inside!" Her words made me fill better but was it me who killed I'm I started the fi- " Hi, Amber I'm detective Willis. The fire in your home was stared. You have any idea who could have started it?" Oh no! It was me! But,
