Silence arrested the air within a span of seconds. everyone remained quiet. not a single person saying a word. They turned and stared at me. my father still raising his hands in the air. as those are rendering. but I knew him better than that. he was only surrendering because he was the only person without a gun.
'Give me the f****** gun Melanie. do not be stupid.' and here he was. with all the courage in the world to talk to me like that. how the hell did I even think that he would be afraid of this? it's obvious that he was used to situations like this.
' believe me. I am past stupidity. I'm going to put this f****** trick that they don't put that f****** down down Emily.' I repeat. they both stare at me. my father gives me that same ridiculous look. the one that he had always given me when he was intimidating. trying to control me. break me and get me to do his bidding.
