๐ง Blame It On The Pain TWENTY NINE:
By the time Ford had dropped me off it was almost 3 in the morning.
I tip-toed inside the house, being as quiet as I could.
Until a voice stopped me in my tracks. โWho was that man that just dropped you off?โ John's voice boomed.
I turned to face him. โNone of your business. Don't worry about it.โ
The corner of his lips curled up. โDon't give me any sass, girl. I asked you a question and I expect an answer.โ
โThat controlling tone might work with my mother, for reasons I fail to comprehend; but you're surely mistaken if you think it'll have the same effect on me. I don't answer to you.โ
I headed in the direction of my room when I was suddenly slammed against the wall. I rubbed the back of my head, trying to thwart off a headache that would be starting soon, thanks to him. โTouch me again and it will be the last thing you ever do, you son of a bch,โ I warned.
โYoung lady, that is no way to talk to your father.โ
I saw red at that moment.โYou might be sยขrewing my mother, but you are not my father.โ
He looked me up and down, disgust in his eyes. โYeah, well, maybe if you actually had a father you wouldn't be walking in the house at 3 in the morning looking like a tramp.โ
I was so angry I started shaking. โYeah, well, maybe if you were half the man my father was, you wouldn't have to buy my mother off with gifts to get her to fk you.โ
The sIap across my face seemed to echo throughout the entire house.
A light turned on in the hallway and my mother stood there in shock.
I took a step forward. โYou can try and cover up manureโฆbut at the end of the day, it still reeks like sht.โ
โWhat the h'll is that supposed to mean?โ he barked.
I looked at my mother briefly before focusing my attention back to him. โYou might be in her bed now, but trust me when I say that when the booze leaves her system and reality sets in, it's not you that she wants next to her. It will always be him.โ
My mother gasped but I ignored her and held up my cell phone instead. โAnd you just made a big mistake by touching me.โ
I ran out of the house and dialed Ford's number.
A woman's voice picked up on the third ring.
โHello,โ she answered.
โCan I speak to Ford?โ I heard some shuffling in the background. โIt's 3:30 in the morning. Who is this?โ
Aggravation coursed through me as it dawned on me. โWhy are you picking up his cell phone?โ
A giggle erupted, followed by the sound of his low groan. โBecause he's a little preoccupied at the moment.โ
I let out a shaky breath, the impact of her words sinking in.
โTell him it's important,โ I whispered.
With a huff, I heard her faintly murmur what I said to him.
โThere's nothing more important than you, sweetheart. Just hang up on her,โ Ford's voice commanded before the line went dead.
I shoved my phone into my pocket and turned back around. I was startled to find John outside on the porch smoking a ยขigarette.
โLook, I'm sorry about before,โ he began.
I continued walking, my heart breaking with every step. โWhatever.โ
โWho was that you were on the phone with?โ he asked.
That's when the tears erupted. John stomped out his ยขigarette, appearing daunted.
โIt doesn't matter,โ I sniffed. โWhat we had is over, for good. He made that perfectly clear.โ
He looked pleased. โListen, I've been thinking, I want your mother to go to rehab.โ
I laughed and walked past him. โYeah, good luck with that.โ
โI'm gonna make it happen, Alyssa. But I'm going to need your help.โ
He held out his hand. โTruce?โ
โFine,โ I muttered before heading inside.

An hour later, my phone rang. Ford's name flashed on the screen.
โLeave me alone,โ I answered.
โDon't be like that, Alyssa.โ
โBe like what, Ford? Be like you?โ
โStop acting like a child. I told you the way it had to be.โ
I stayed silent.
โI told you I'll always be there for you when you need me,โ he said.
โYeah, except when you're too busy being there for her. I won't be the other woman.โ
He chuckled. โYou'd actually have to be a woman for that to happen.โ
His words stung. There was only one way to make the pain go away. โHave a nice life, Ford.โ
โLook, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you like that. You know I love you. I will always love you. But maybe it's best that we don't talk for a while,โ he said before he hung up.
It was the last time I would speak to Ford for 4 years.
The next timeโฆhe would shatter the rest of me.
