Chapter Two
“Dad”
Just calling him that sickens me. Dad. He doesn’t deserve that name. He’s not my Dad. Hes Paul. That’s all he is to me. Paul. The low-life that fathered me.. and then left. I hate him. I hate him so much. He’s the biggest piece of garbage on the planet. I just want him to disappear.
Welcome to my own personal hell. Good ol’ Paul decided to show his ugly mug about six months after Mom died (I had turned seven at this point). Custody of his daughter. That’s what the bum wanted. Me. After seven years of not seeing me, all of a sudden he wants custody. Claiming that Carter “wasn’t fit to raise a child.” Bull. He’s a better father to me then Paul could ever be.
Court. Fantastic. Carter got a lawyer, Paul got a lawyer. Here we go. Yeah, cause a custody battle was just what I needed. My mom didn't just die or anything. I didn't know what was happening, again (I was seven.. cut me some slack).
I sat in a room. With a lady with red hair, like mine. Like.. Moms. She was nice. Her name was Lauren. She had a really pretty smile. Not as pretty as Moms.. but, pretty. She told me I’d have to talk to the lawyers.. and the judge. I was scared. Incredibly scared. I didn't know what to do. What if I messed up? What if I said something wrong.. and they took me away from Carter..
“We call Corieen Line to the stand, your honor.”
I walked into the room, and sat in the chair. “Hello Corieen.” I had to talk to Paul’s lawyer first. His name was Tucker. He was tall, handsome almost. He had a really deep voice. “Now, Corieen.. what do you and Carter do together?” I smiled at Carter, “Well, when I get home from school, we do my homework. Then, we read. Sometimes he takes me skating, or to the park.”
He asked me more questions. If Carter ever hurt me, or yelled at me, or did anything bad. “Carter doesn’t do bad things, Mr. Tucker. Carter is the nicest boy ever.” Tucker’s questions were stupid, and pointless. And I think he realized that. “No further questions, your honor.”
Next, was Carter’s lawyer. Her name was Kate. I liked Kate. She was kinda short, and she was really pretty. “Hi, Corie. I just have one question to ask you... how do you think you would feel.. if someone took you away from Carter?” I looked at her, almost crying. “I lost my Mommy six months ago. She left me with Carter because she knew he’d do a good job taking care of me. Carter is my big brother. Taking me away from him would be like killing my Mommy again.” I looked at Paul, “Do you wanna kill Mommy again? Are you trying to hurt me?”
The judge took about five seconds to decided I was to stay with Carter. Thank freaking God.
