Chapter Chapter Twelve
Macey stood in the foyer with Johan not quite ready to head in to see her father. She was scared and kept picturing the man who had spent the majority of her life as a child harming her. "You sure you want to go through with this?" Johan asked her. He could see she was struggling but didn't want to push her if she didn't want to do this. Macey looked at Johan and nodded her head slightly. "I just need a minute, thanks Johan you don't have to stay with me. I can always meet you somewhere once this is done" Macey replied. She didn't want him to feel he had to stay with her.
Johan looked at Macey and shook his head no. "Macey there is no way I'm leaving you by yourself. You just told me these people abused you, your father might be dying but your brothers aren't" Johan told her. Macey nodded slightly again and took a few deep breaths. "Ok I'm ready" Macey told Johan before she walked over to the reception area to find out where her father's room was.
The receptionist called Asher who was apparently in charge of her father's care to make sure she and Johan would be allowed access to her father's room. She wanted to laugh at that because apparently, it was for his protection. Who the hell did he need protection from? Shouldn't they be offering her protection from him? Macey thought.
"Macey" Asher called out as he came into the foyer. "Dad is this way, your friend can wait out here," Asher told his sister. Macey shook her head no, the minute Asher walked towards her and Macey gripped onto Johan's hand for support without meaning to. Macey needed to be grounded and somehow holding on to Johan's hand gave her the feeling of safety. Johan slightly squeezed her hand offering her support. "I'll be going with her or we can leave if you prefer" Johan replied. Macey smiled up at him in thanks.
Asher nodded his head and then indicated for them to follow him. Asher headed back into the room where his father was living his last days. Tyler was there along with Diesel sitting in the room and they stood when they saw Asher walk in followed by Macey. "You can wait outside" Tyler spat at Johan. "I'm good" Johan replied looking at Tyler. He wondered if he was Diesel or Tyler, he knew Asher as he had heard Macey speaking with him several times. Tyler went to step closer to him but was stopped by Asher. "Sit down Tyler" Asher stated.
Macey stood at the end of the bed looking at the monster of her nightmare. He looked frail but she felt nothing but hatred for the man. "Dad, Macey came to see you," Asher told his father waking him gently. "Macey is here?" Her father asked. Asher slowly helped his father so the bed was in a sitting position. That way he would be able to see Macey. Macey had kept quiet the entire time just watching and clinging on to Johan.
Peter glanced around the room looking for his daughter, when his eyes landed on Macey he gasped. "Rose my beautiful Rose" Peter cried out. "Dad it's Macey" Asher stated but Peter ignored him. Peter knew this was his wife Roseanne. "Rose you left me. I warned you what I would do if you ever left me. I took it out in Macey because you weren't around. Rose, I told you not to ever leave me otherwise I would hurt your daughter. We had a deal, Rose, you let me take my anger out on you so I wouldn't hurt that little bitch. God Rose, it felt so good to break her bones with my bare hands" Peter rambled.
Macey stood listening to her father confess everything. She wasn't aware of anyone else in the room just her and her father. Asher was shocked to hear what his father was saying. Tyler and Diesel didn't know what the hell to do and Johan kept a firm grip on Macey's hand not wanting her to be hearing this without support. None of her brothers were going to offer support.
"Roseanne, are you listening?" Peter spat. Macey nodded her head not trusting her voice. "Every smack and punch was because you left me. I enjoyed hurting her because I knew that it would hurt you more and I was punishing you for leaving. That stupid little bitch left before I could break her though. I had plans for her and she took off. God, she couldn't wait one more day. I was going to take her innocence as I did yours and then throw her out like the used goods she was" Peter continued. Macey had her hand over her mouth trying to remain silent, she was so angry with her father but needed to hear everything.
"Rose, I broke your daughter and I'm so glad about that. My only regret is you won't love me anymore. Roseanne I did warn you, you will forgive me or I will get my sons to break her again. Oh Rose you would be so proud of your boys for hurting your daughter. Diesel was the best, breaking her bones with his bare hands and using his whore to get it swept under the carpet. Tyler would hurt her when drinking once I gave him the ok. I nearly broke Asher too. You should of seen the look on her face when Diesel first hurt her. I wish I had captured that in film" Peter said before breaking into a coughing fit.
"I hate you, you pathetic piece of shit. I hope you rot in hell" Macey spat to Peter. "Roseanne you don't mean that. I promise I will not raise my hand to you again. I never hit our sons and I kept my word" Peter coughed out. Macey walked closer to her father. "Burn in hell, Peter. My only regret is that you are still breathing. I will dance on your grave and laugh as I do it" Macey spat before crouching down to whisper in his ear "I am still alive Peter while you are here dying. I win, you didn't break me or my daughter". Macey turned and ran out the door of her father's room.
