***Ria's Point of View***
"NO!" I screamed as daddy picked me up and made me take my pjs off.
"Ria! Stop! We have to go to school. We have to be responsible," daddy said.
"No! No school! Stay home! Wif you!" I said stomping and falling to the ground.
"Ria! What the hell is going on with you?" Daddy asked picking me up and making me look at him
"I want youuuu!" I said turning the tears on instead.
"Gloria. Talk to me. Talking to daddy helps. Not these fits. Not crying. Now what is bothering you making you not want to go to school?"
I wanted to talk. I really did. I couldn't though. My body froze up. My mind went blank.
So I threw myself back on the ground covered my face and cried harder.
I heard daddy sigh.
"Me want stay!" I cried falling into deep little space.
"Come on baby girl. Let's try school. I bet it will be a lot of fun. Let's go to breakfast and try" daddy said dressing me agaisnt my protests.
Daddy finished dressing me and went to his room to dress.
I'll show him. I kicked off all my clothes and put my pjs back on. Then I climbed into my crib.
"Let's go babygirl! Ria?" I said peeking out the crib and seeing he saw my clothes on the floor.
Daddy's face got maaaaad. The maddest I've ever seen it.
I hid my eyes under the blanket hoping he wouldnt find me.
Nope. No luck
Daddy lifted me out of the crib and gave me 3 sharp smacks to my butt.
I cried out and pushed agaisnt him. Daddy held me strong though and made it impossible to move until he put me down. He trapped me between his legs and dressed me without saying a word.
"Gloria Nicole. This is not appropriate. Now knock it off!"
Daddy's voice was deep, dominating and meant business. I stopped fighting but kept crying.
A few minutes later we were in the breakfast line.
"Sit here at the table with Cole and do not put 1 toe out of line or you will regret it" daddy stated making sure I was sitting before he left.
"What wrong Ria?" Ashton asked trying to talk to me.
I didn't want to be around people. I put my head down and ignored him.
"Hey! He's talking to you answer!" Avery said from across the table
"Shut up!" I yelled then put my head down.
"Ria! Be nice!" Cole scolded.
"It's been a very rough morning," daddy said coming down with his tray and mine.
Daddy set my tray of chocolate cereal, toast and a banana in front of me. He even got me chocolate milk.
"No!" I scream pushing the tray away.
It clattered to the floor making a mess everywhere.
I peeked my eyes out of my arms to see daddy.
He was pissed.
His face took on that scary dominate darkness that made my spine run cold.
Daddy grabbed my face in one hand and his other grabbed my hair.
"This. Behavior. Is. Over. Now!" He spoke. His words dripped with seriousness daring me to make one wrong move.
"Why are you acting this way?!" He demanded.
The whole cafeteria stopped to look at us. I cast my eyes away trying not to cry in front of everyone.
"Look at me and answer!" Daddy demanded. He let go of my hair and face as Cole softly tugged on him
"You need to walk away and calm down," Cole said to daddy. Not as a command but as a suggestion. Daddy sighed and stepped back. He ran his hands through his hair and turned to leave.
"Daddy.." I whimpered wanting him to come back. Wanting him to make everything go away.
"Why don't you trust me babygirl?" He said with one final look at me before walking out into the hall.
I sat in my seat and hid my head.
"Class. Now." Cole said putting me on my feet. I didn't want to move. He picked me up and Avery and Ashton followed. He dropped me off first and told my teacher a brief discussion about what happened in the cafeteria. I didn't want to hear anything. I covered my ears and hid in the corner.
Cole left and my teacher came over to sit by me.
"Ria. Can you tell me what happened today? Or whats going on with you?" She asked softly pulling me to her and resting my head in her lap
"Want daddy" I sniffled.
"Your daddy loves you but he has class to go to. I know he'd love to spend the day with you but he has to be responsible."
"Want daddy!" I repeated louder. My teacher realized I wasn't in the mood to hear what she had to say. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted daddy.
The thing is. How do you tell someone whats going on in your head without knowing your own thoughts?
Miss Autumn finally let me be after sitting with me a few minutes.
She didn't make me get up and I appreciated that.
Listening to my classmates and the teacher talk though through the lesson made me crazy and itch out of my skin.
I tried to cover my ears but couldn't. My head was pounding.
A break in class occured so I went up to Miss Autumn.
"Can I go to the nurse?" My head hurts and my stomach.
Miss Autumn looked me over especially at my puffy eyes and nodded slowly handing me a hall pass.
"Go on. Stay there and come back here afterwards."
I nodded yes and left the classroom.
My head did hurt but I had no intentions of going to the nurse.
I was set out to find my daddy.
