“Did I not teach you anything?” my dad asked the moment the door to the theater room slammed shut.

In my head, I practiced what I learned in therapy; it was the only thing I could do to keep me from jawing the man that gave me life. I’d hurt Bellamy’s feelings when I yelled at her. I was so caught up in the moment when she yelled my name to get my attention. I needed to go check on her, to apologize for my actions.

“This girl is going to weasel her way in, and the minute you let your guard down, she’s going to run off with your money, leaving you high and dry, just like your mother left you all those years ago.”

“She left you!” I shouted.

“You’re standing right here with me; she left yo’ ass too.”

“Because you threatened to kill her if she took me along. It must suck to know the only woman you ever loved decided that she would rather abandon her son than to deal with your bullshit.”

“Your mother was a money hungry bitch!” he spat, chest heaving up and down.

“If she was, you made her that way. I don’t blame her for leaving. I wished I could’ve gotten out sooner than I did. If you don’t change your ways, Donna is going to leave your ass too. Mark my word. You’re going to die an old, lonely, miserable, sad ass man.”

“You’d wish death on me?”

“You’ve been dead to me since the day I quit your firm.”

“When that girl breaks your heart, don’t come running your ass back.”

“If that were to come true, I could promise that you’d be the last muthafucka I would run to.”

“Stay the fuck away from my woman!” he ordered, turning toward the door.

“Make me,” I taunted. “Make sure you leave the key on your way out.”

Bringing his hand up, he dropped my house key on the floor and walked out of the room. That was the ultimate sign of disrespect, and Hezekiah Carr never had to worry about me again. It would be a cold day in hell before I allowed myself to feel anything for him.

I was okay with us not having a relationship, and I never let things get far enough where I would disobey God by dishonoring my father. I had too much respect for him, even if he didn’t have it for me. My father thrived off control, and it burned him up that I no longer allowed him to control the strings to my life.

He’d hit an all-time low by throwing my mother up in my face, knowing that shit used to break me when I was younger. I hadn’t allowed myself to fall for his manipulation tactics in years, and today was no different.
