I don't want you to see Corey anymore...

"What?" Sallie managed to choke, the shock creating a dam in her throat, her expression paled with mute-horror.

"Corey is a bad influence on you," Her father said, just as firm, without missing a beat. He folded his arms over his great chest. "Ever since you've been with him, you've changed."

"N-No...he's not..."

"Yes, he is." Came the stern reply, his hard eyes not leaving his distraught daughter. "I don't want you to see him anymore. Sam has proven her point enough."

Sallie stumbled for a reply, the absolute fearlessness of the statement so stunning that she had no smart comeback, but even an honest remark would have been decent enough. But she was still trying to register the true meaning behind what he said.

I don't want you to see Corey anymore...

"You can't stop me..."

"Your attitude needs adjusting." Her father spoke, not backing down, watching his daughter brittle under his hardness. "Corey had turned you into a monster."

"A...a monster?" Sallie's teeth pinched at the inside of her cheeks viciously. "You...you don't fucking know him as I do."

Her father's eyes flared up slightly.

"Don't you swear at me, young lady."

"I can fucking swear as fucking much as I fucking want! I'm not a fucking baby anymore!"

"Well stop acting like one!" Sam shot back, now joining in the battle of brutalising this mess of a daughter.

"Stop acting like one?!" Sallie scoffed, laughing too loudly, almost hysterically. "This coming from a bitch that does nothing but fucking bullies me, and you're telling me to not act like a high school brat! Look at you!"

"Sallie-!"

Sallie turned to her father.

"And you fucking let this happen! You fucking watch it happen!" Her father watched her tilting her head to one side, and there was a glint in her shocking-white eyes that struck a worrying chord inside of him, like he was witnessing the birth of a psychopath. Sallie dropped her voice in a snarl. "Mum wouldn't let this happen..."

"Maria is not fucking here anymore!"

"She is fucking here! In fucking spirit! And you fucking eliminated her out of your life because your prick of a wife destroyed her out of you too!" Sallie was panting, her voiced fury taking control now, the shaking starting from her feet as she pointed at Sam. "She's fucking making you miserable!"

"No, she does not!"

"Yes, she fucking is! I can see my own fucking dad dead in your eyes!"

"Excuse me?!" Sam spat out hatefully, and Sallie waved her hands incredibly dramatically.

"Oh-ho! I'm sorry, Queen! Did I ruin your perfect streak!"

Sam's eyes widened in fury, the wrinkles on her face stretched. But it was Sallie's father who reacted first.

"How dare you! That's my wife you're talking to."

Sallie spat a poisonous look at her father, and it crippled him with how much hatred laid in those eyes. He never really noticed them until she started to hang around with that damn Corey and...Slipknot...

"But she isn't my fucking mother. I wish she fucking died!"

A shocking slam boomed from where her father smashed his fist on the table, making the cups chatter against the polished wooden surface.
