him.
“Put me down, please Garrett. I will be a good girl for now, but just know I am not happy with you.”
“I know this and I can respect that, but you left me no choice.”
“There is no need to be a smart ass Garrett. I said I would do as I am told for now. Don’t think I will always be this obedient because it will be a cold day in hell. But for now I will do as you ask.”
I get in his face, and point at him, “I will tell you this Garrett, I love you but I have issues, I am not perfect, and occasionally I will fuck up. So if you want to be with me you will need to know that I will slip. I have relapsed several times, and if you can’t handle that, then we can call it quits now before either one of us hurts the other.”
“Babe, I know you are not perfect. Hell we all have flaws, but we need to lean on each other when times are rocky. I am here, let me help you. I promise I am strong enough to help.”
I glance around the room, and I see Rodney bagging up the dope and rigs and shaking his head.
“Kayla, do you know how worried your mom is about you?” Rodney asks.
I glare at him because I don’t know if I will ever call her Mom. Me being a smart ass, I say “Patrice. It’s Patrice. I can’t call her mom.”
“Just give her a chance. You know this is not just hard on you Kayla. She did what she thought was the best at the time. I know that she has been haunted as well. So when you are in your self-destruction phase, remember that you do have a mom that loves you. She may not have raised you, but I am sure giving you up was the hardest choice she ever made. So walk a mile in her shoes, and quit giving her shit.”
“Rodney, you have no idea the hell I have lived. I was tortured and raped for years, and my biological father knew about it.”
“Yes Kayla, I do have an idea. You need to remember I am a cop. I have seen some really bad shit over the years. And each time there is a victim, my heart breaks a little bit more. I am sorry for that but your mom, yes I said your mom, is hurting too. She just relived her rape and now she has a constant reminder. Guess who is her reminder? You are her reminder. So grab your big girl panties and stop being a brat because the pity train has derailed at the corner of it’s time to Suck it up Street and Move on Avenue, and then crashed head into We all have problems Place and Time to get the hell over it Boulevard. Hell Kayla I have an aunt, her name is Sheila, and guess what? She is blind and paralyzed and she doesn’t have a pity party. She lives in the dark every damn day and she is scared of the dark. And what are you doing? You’re sitting here crying because you don’t like your birth parents. Well wake up sweetheart. You don’t get to choose your damn parents. No one likes their damn parents. Hell I am sure Garrett didn’t like his either, but you don’t hear him crying. So I am going to say this one-time and one-time only, you want me to treat you like you’re an adult, then you damn sure better act your age and not you’re fucking shoe size”
I look at both men in this room and I know that they are speaking the truth. Hell Rodney doesn’t even know me and he is speaking the truth. So I walk over and grab my purse and walk out the door.
A few seconds later I hear the footsteps of them behind me.
“Garrett, you take Kayla’s truck back and she can ride with me.
“No I can drive myself. I am not a child.”
“Kayla, I am not asking. I can be an ass and take you to jail. So ride with me voluntarily or you ride in the back with cuffs on.”
I look at him stunned. “Are you serious Rodney? You would arrest me?”
“I am very serious Kayla. You could be charged with a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, which can result in one year in prison and up to a five thousand dollar fine. Do you really want to take that chance and see if I will arrest you? Because I promise I will have no problems arresting you.”
