Sammy PoV

It was 3 O'clock in the morning, (which was way later than normal for me to come home from fighting but I had to clean up my eye first), and I was just coming in from a fight, which sounds absurd I know, but when you are trying to hide the fact that you do illegal fights, you make sure that you clean up as much as you can, (my eye still looked horrific but at least it wasn't bleeding anymore), and Dad was still up waiting for me, (because he couldn't sleep without knowing that I was home and safe).

"Hey Sammy"
"Hey Dad, what's up?"
"Nothing- What the fuck happened to your face?!"
"A fight in the restaurant"
"Again?!, Baby is it even safe for you to work there?"
"Yeah of course it is safe Dad, why wouldn't it be safe?"
"Maybe let me just throw in a wild suggest into the wind here and say that it's because you come home from there with new injuries most weeks"
"Well yeah that's because assholes get drunk Dad, but it's ok because they get banned from there"
"Sammy-"
"Don't 'Sammy' me Dad!, I can absolutely handle shit by myself!, I mean for fuck's sake I was on my own until 6 months ago-"
"What?!"

That's when I realised that I had told Dad about the fact that Grandma left me on my own for most of his coma, which I didn't want him to find out about, (because you know, he's over protective of me), but I was so caught up in proving to Dad that I could handle things on my own that I had blurted that little detail out, (which I felt terrible about).

"Oh shit"
"Oh God Baby, (sighs), I knew that my Mother wasn't really there for you Sweetheart, as she's emotionally not available, but what I didn't know was that you were completely on your own, where the fuck was she?"
"She was in the Caribbean, I don't know where exactly-"
"Why didn't she take you with her?"
"(Snorts), Dad she could barely afford to take herself there-"
"She was in a good paying job-"
"Yeah well she lost it due to drinking on the job"
"No"
"Yeah, so when she came back, I told her that if she wanted to stay here, she better not use any of my money for alcohol or I'd report her to social services about me, as I kept dates in my diaries and they're somewhere she could never get access to"
"Isn't that blackmail though Sammy?"
"Yeah maybe it is blackmail Dad but she didn't steal my money, so it worked out for me"

You could see that Dad was still feeling really bad about me being on my own for most of his coma, which I felt fucking awful about as the only reason he even knew was because I blubbered it out like spilt milk.

I made Dad and I a cup of coffee, as I knew that none of us were going to sleep for a couple of hours yet, (too many emotions were running through our heads here), I then brought the coffee back to the couch, as you do.

"Thank you Baby"
"You're welcome Dad"
"You're a good girl Sammy"
"I'm really not though Dad, I'm barely fucking neutral"
"(Snorts), Well you being 'barely fucking neutral' qualifies as you being a good girl, no no, don't argue with me about it Sweetheart"

So I didn't argue with him about that as he wasn't going to give up until I agreed with him on it, (he could be quite stubborn when he wanted to be), he then hugged me as he knew that I liked his hugs.

"Sweetheart, why didn't you tell me that earlier?"
"Because I didn't want to worry you Dad"
"Sammy Baby that's my job as your Dad, the last thing that I would want is for you to not tell me things because you don't want to worry me, also I would've kicked her out of the house"
"Don't do that Dad, where would she go?"
"I don't know Honey, (kisses forehead), and you really think that you're not a good girl, most people wouldn't have thought twice about where your Grandma would go"
"Yeah but you wouldn't be able to live with yourself Dad"
"Hmm I don't know about that, I think that I could-"
"Without her having a 2 year old maybe"
"Shit I forgot about Sebastian"
"To be fair he's really quiet"

We sat there for a while as it was peaceful, I think that I fell asleep there because the next thing I remember is waking up in my bed, properly tucked in like you would tuck in a young child at night time, you know.
