Stay True

Harry's POV
I sit at the table with the ice cream I just ordered for us.Darcy pats the spot beside her and says,''Daddy sit by me!'' I smile at the near 2 inches left on the booth she's in.''Here,I'll hold you.''She nods and gets out of the booth and I slide in and she sits in my lap.Katie comes back from the bathroom and she sits on the other side.

''Dang Harry..''she says.She doesn't approve of us swearing around Darcy.''What?Is it not enough?''i joke and look down at my ice cream.It is pretty big.She laughs and I smile.Katie's isn't that big. She's not a real big fan on ice cream.She's more of a jello type person.

Darcy just stares at her's. She seems upset.I look over at Katie.She just got a text from some one, so she isn't paying attention.''Babe,what's wrong?''i ask her.She shrugs and moves off my lap. She pushes the ice cream away from her and she sits there with her hands in her lap.

''Baby, tell Daddy what's wrong.''I beg and she looks up at me.''That lady scared me...''She mumbles.She was afraid of my mom.''Don't worry, she won't be back ever.''i say and she nods.''Now, eat your ice cream Daddy got you.''i say.

She shakes her head gently from left to right.''i don't wan it!'She says.''okay...okay...calm down..just..here.''I go to reach into my pocket but realize my phone's gone. I get Katie's attention.''Baby.''i say and she looks at me.''What?''She says.''Can i please have my phone.''She smiles and nods.

She takes it out of her purse and hands it to me.I unlock it and scroll the screen over and I tap on Darcy's game, Candy Crush. I turn the volume down and hand it to her.''Here...Play the game while me and Mommy eat.''She pushes my hand away.

''I don't wanna play it.''She whines.''Babe, what's wrong?''i ask her. ''Leave me alone.''She says.''Tell me.''i say. ''Leave me alone, Daddy!''She screams and I slid my phone across the table.Katie catches it right before it falls and she throws it in her purse.

I notice she looks down at her chest. ''What's wrong?''I ask.''Are my boobs really that fake looking?''She says worried.''No babe.My mom was being her self, a bitch.''I say.Darcy hits my leg and says,''Bad word.'' I hold my hands up in surrender and Katie smiles.

I really wish my daughter would tell me what the hell is wrong with her...
