The Road to Happieness: 6
#6 of road to happiness
Kansas City airport
Longest flight ever!!!
Khile and I spent 4 hours in a plane sitting there doing nothing . Luckily Khile brought his Ipad and we played some solitare and then listened to music, turns out Khile was a big fan of rap music just like me. The more time we spent together the more we knew about each other. Jackie was with us too. Finally she wasnt sick anymore and when told the news about us going back to Missouri she thought it was a bad idea. She really didn't want to go back to our father.
When we landed it was 8pm, we waited for our bags to come out, it took a while but we got them eventually. Khile with his big blue suitcase, his was big for he had "extra things" he said. He even bought suitcases for me and Jackie. Of course Jackie got a pink suitcase while I stuck with a black one. Once we all got our bags Khile got a cab and asked the driver to take us to a hotel.
We went to the Hampton Hotel, they only had twin bed rooms in the hotel. I guessed Jackie and I would share a bed. Khile began unpacking a few things ,his tooth brush, paste, and a small black bag which he set on his bed and zipped his bag up.
"Ok,ladies first on the shower then Jon then me and then to bed we go. Ok?" Jackie and I nodded in agreement and Jackie got out her night gown and marched right in the bathroom.
While she did that I grabbed the remote and switched on the TV flicking from channel to channel, finally I found something nice which was Jackass. Khile looked at the TV and just smirked
"Those guys are dumbasses for doing stuff like that. How can you like that shit?"
"Because you dont see anyone else doing that stuff and besides it's just funny to me."
"Well at least your not doing that stuff or Jackie. Anyways about tomorrow, we are going to go to your fathers house and get him to sign the paper allowing me to be your guardian. Then we can begin on your treatment, and dont worry I wont let him get you, I will be armed if anything happens."'
"How did you get a gun?"
"I can bring one with me since I'm an officer and besides I took it apart so now." he opened the black bag revealing the 9mm pistol in pieces "I have to put it back together and thats the fun part." he said sarcasticly as he began putting it back together.
Jackie came out of the shower with her black hair damped and wearing her pink night gown, she sure loves pink. I got into my bag and dug out my PJ's, the right side of my PJ's was black while the other was yellow, I marched right in the bathrrom setting my stuff on the toilet lid. I ran the hot water and began taking off my clothing. Once I was naked I went inside the shower and washed up.
It was 10 pm and I was laying in bed with Jackie, she already fell asleep and I could hear the shower going off which suggested that Khile was done showering. I couldnt sleep so I was still watching some random shows, I picked one and two and a half men was on so I watched that. It was ok but it was mostly about sex which led me to turn off the TV.
After that Khile came out with just his boxer briefs on, once he came out he began shaking his body like a wet dog would. He came up to his bed and then looked at me and whispered, trying to not wake up Jackie
"What are you doing over there?"
"I thought I was sleeping with her"
"Goodness no she needs her own bed, I mean ladies always get their own bed."
"I didnt know that"
"Come on over"
He waved his hand telling me to sleep with him. I got up and walked towards his bed and laid on his left side,on the soft fluffy pillow. I just lay there staring at the ceiling. I looked at Khile and he was getting a book out and a pair of glasses, they were reading glasses I could tell and he looked dashing with them on. He turned to a certain page and took the bookmark out and I saw his eyes scaning which told me he was reading. I looked closely to the title of the book and it said 'The Hunger Games'. Khile took his eyes off of the book and looked at me.
"Something on your mind hon?"
"Whats that about?"
"The book? The Hunger Games is about a teen girl and a boy fighting for their lives."
"Why?"
Next thing I knew he explained everything to me about it. It was fascinating, the first time I ever wanted to read it.
"....and Katniss, the main character took her sisters place in the Hunger Games."
"Wow that sound like a good story."
"You want to read it with me?"
"Its ok I dont want you to start over"
"Nonsense its ok I can re-read the chapters, besides I'm only on chapter three so it won't kill me to read the chapters again"
"Ok" I sat up and scooted myself over and sat next to him. I laid my head against him and he wrapped his left arm around me and kissed my head and began to read it to me.
"Chapter one..."
11:00 am
We were in a car that Khile had rented for a day heading towards our dad, which for me and Jackie was scary as hell. We parked in front of the house which was a one storey house, Jackie refused to go inside. I let her stay in the car and Khile locked the door behind us. I walked towards the door with the memories of the pain and the suffering running in my head. Khile grabbed my shoulder and gently squeezed it.
"You're going to be ok, I'll be right next to you. He wont get to you."
He rang the door bell and I could hear footsteps getting louder and louder then finally the door opened revealing a 5'9 ft man with an unshaved look and the smell of alcohol on him.
My dad.
He looked at me, already grabbing my arm and pulling me inside, he spoke
" Get inside now, thank you sir I have been looking for him for three years.." I already began cowering behind him but thank God Khile took action
"Sir, let him go."
"He's my son and you cant tell me what to do."
"Actually I can." Khile pulled out his badge and immediately my dad slammed the door in front of him. Now I was scared as hell he came up to me and grabbed the neck of my shirt and began speaking to me in his angry voice
"What the Hell did you get me into"
"I-i-i didnt do anything dad h-hones-ahhh" before I could even finished he slapped me hard on the face. I fell on the ground, tearing from the pain I had on my face.
"Dont give me that bullshit. I know you took three hundred dollars out of my wallet, tonight I'm going to...." without a warning he slapped me again and I finally yelled for the only person I trust.
"Khile help!!!"
"Who the Fuck is Khile? Another fa..."
The front door was forced open and I saw my dad turn his head and then I saw Khile charging towards my dad and he pulled him off of me, he came to me and saw the thick red marks on my cheeks. When I looked in his eyes all I saw was pure rage I heard him growl and turn towards my dad.
"What the Hell! I'm calling the cops!" Khile turned toward my dad and tackled him on the ground and pulled his handcuffs out of his back pocket. He pulled him up and threw him on the couch.
"Sit down!" Khile said still growling at him and for once in my life my dad obeyed him .
"You're fucking lucky I dont call the police on you for trespassing.."
I saw Khile bark right back at him.
"And your fucking lucky I dont beat the shit out of you and arrest you for child abuse!"
"What are you going to do to me then?"
Khile pulled out a piece of paper, and put it on my dads lap.
"I'm going to let you go but you have to sign this paper and give me the guardianship of your two kids."
"Fuck that!!" I got up and walked toward Khile and he came to me and he caressed my cheek and I heard him sniffing around and I saw him smirk, he turned right back to my father and looked right back at him face to face.
"Its either sign this paper or I report you for the possesion of marijuana."
My dad then began to protest.
"You have no evidence to prove that!"
Khile sniffed big and he looked around and went to the book shelve and reach the far back and revealed the bag.
"I do now....Now sign the paper."
"Fine..fine."
Khile uncuffed him and finally he signed his name,
"Keep the pieces of shit and especially the fag."
Khile turned back to him and grabbed his neck and I heard him choking as Khile spoke to him, growling
"Listen here you ungrateful son of a bitch! You're the piece of shit, treating two great children and hurting them! I hope your life is a living hell."
He grabbed my arm and we went straight towards the car he drove off fast. I looked at the speedometer and he was going over the speed limit by twenty miles an hour.
"Khile slow down" I said to him but he didnt listen he was grumbling something I couldnt hear it "Khile!"
He snapped out of it and hit the brakes. My head slammed on the dashboard and thankfully Jackie was wearing her seatbellt. Khile was talking again and he sounded like he was crying.
"Shit I'm sorry hon." He grabbed my head and hugged it tightly, I kept my eyes closed the whole time. He still kept a hold on to me as he drove again but this time slowly. He drove like that all the way back to the hotel.
9:00 pm
My head gotten worst from the slaps and the collision on the dashboard. Khile came back with a bag of ice, Jackie was already in bed. He set the bag on my head and he laid right next to me and held me against him.
"I'm sorry Jon"
"For the head thing? It's ok Khile."
"Not that, I broke my promise. I could'nt stop him from hurting you, I'm sorry Jon."
"Khile don't put yourself down for it. All I care about was you were there for me. Khile thank-you."
I began tearing up a little but Khile gently grabbed my face and made me face him. I felt warmth being planted on my lips. Opening my eyes I saw Khile kissing me, he broke it and looked me in the eyes.
"I promise that will never happen again, I will protect you and your sister. Jon the past week I have been more connected to you and I'm starting to love you more than a son now."
I looked at him speechless. Unable to say anything I just simply hugged him and he did back . As he turned off the lights I heard Khile whisper something next to my ear
"I love you Jon."
Of course I teared up again and I whispered back
let go.
"I love you too Khile" , we just held each other the whole night.
I never wanted to
