The Dilemma of Parker

Chapter25

Jude spotted William and a Richard along with the guy he remembered from when they saw Parker in Sydney. Leon and Tanner were talking to there Aunty and uncle waiting for Tyson to turn up. Jude watched as the guy he didn't know held out his hand and Parker stepped out of the car. "Oh god" Jude whispered as he saw his sister. He was so glad she was here but he was worried about what his brothers and father were going to do.

Cheryl turned to see why Jude was saying oh god and spotted Parker rushing towards her niece. "Parker" Cheryl called when she was 2 meters away and then embraced her niece in a tight hug when she was close enough to grab her. "Gosh you have grown. I missed you beautiful girl" Cheryl whispered to Parker. "I missed you to Aunty Cheryl" Parker mumbled.

Leon, Tanner, Jude and Parker's uncles headed over towards the group who were now chatting away. Jude stayed towards the back, he didn't want to be involved if this was going to get nasty. "Parker, you need to come over with the family and greet the guests" Leon spoke with authority. Parker ignored Leon and moved closer to Jaylan, William and Richard. This didn't go unnoticed by Cheryl who placed herself in front of her niece. "She is fine where she is, you go back to your guests" Cheryl stated. "She needs to be with the family and not embarrass us" Tanner stated. "Leave her she isn't family" Tyson spat walking towards his sons.

"She is more family then you will ever be" Cheryl spat when no one stood up for Parker. "Watch yourself Cheryl" Tyson spat. "Or what you will beat me like you use to do to Tamia and Parker? Let me tell you something Tyson, I'm not weak like Tamia was" Cheryl spat. "Cheryl enough" her husband stated. "Why worried he won't give you your allowance? News flash he got nothing in the will" Parker spat.

"Watch it little girl, remember what I can do?" Tyson sneered. "Don't you dare Father" Jude spat and stepped towards Tyson only to be stopped by Leon. William went to step towards Tyson to put him on his arse, but Richard stopped him and just shook his head. Richard wanted Parker to finally stand up to her abuser. "You are pathetic Tyson, takes a big man to beat a child doesn't it?" Parker yelled causing all the guests to turn towards the family. Tyson went to strike Parker just as police cars came flying up to the church and offices came flying out of the cars.

Tyson was grabbed by the arm and tried to resist. "Tyson Jones, you are under arrest for the assault of a minor, causing bodily harm, family violence, theft, attempted fraud, domestic violence and neglect. You have a right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, one will be assigned to you. Anything you say and do, can and will be used against you in the court of law" the officer said loud enough for everyone to hear. "I'll kill you, you black bitch, just like I killed your mother" Tyson screamed causing everyone to freeze.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Cheryl asked deadly quiet. "You think your childhood was bad Parker, your mother suffered the final months of her life because of me" Tyson spat before laughing like he was a maniac and maybe he was. "What the fuck did you do?" Jude asked barely holding himself back from going and beating the shit out of his father. "What I should of done years ago" Tyson spat back.

Richard held his hand up stopping the police from dragging Tyson away wanting to hear more of what Tyson was saying. The more he said, the more that could be used in the case against him. The police commissioner also understood and stopped so Tyson could incriminate himself further. "You are weak, you wouldn't dare come after my daughter again" Richard spat antagonising Tyson to open his mouth some more. "It was child's play while she was growing up, neglecting her, isolating her, making her suffer all earned me a lot of money from Tamia. That bitch paid me so it didn't get worse. I made a stupid mistake hitting her when that black bitch was 8, for a year I had to pretend I was fucken sorry because the money dried up. Then it was easy to blame on boys when she was older. By then her brothers didn't give a fuck about her either" Tyson laughed.

Parker sucked in a huge breath and attempted to step away. She didn't want to hear this at all. It was bad enough living it. Jaylan stood right behind Parker so she couldn't step away. "Don't let him win" Jaylan whispered. He thought he was doing the right thing by making Parker stay and listen. He wanted her to be strong and show Tyson he was the weak one. All Parker wanted to do was flee and she couldn't. She once again felt trapped by a man and she was going into a panic which no one seemed to notice because they were all focusing on Tyson.
