stands in the dim kitchen, his figure ominous, belt in hand, tapping it impatiently against his palm. Where the hell were ya?
Ianit
I’m here I just went outside for some air it’s too hot in the room
You think you can just sneak out whenever you damn please? Do you even comprehend the concept of safety?
Ianit
It’s not like I snuck out, I told you where I was going! What if something happened and I couldn’t get in the house then what?
grabs Ianit by the collar, pulling them close You ungrateful little shit! You think this is a game? You think I care about your safety just because you told me where you were going? You dare question my concern for you?!
Ianit
Fine dad, we'll stay in the house 24/7 then?! Is that what you want?!
Damn right it is! I want you locked up in this godforsaken house, where I can keep an eye on you. You won't step foot outside without my permission.
Ianit
Then don’t leave me alone when I do step outside either! If you’re going to be gone then take me with you.
pauses, considering Ianit's words Fine. But only if you promise to behave and follow my rules. We'll go on a road trip together, just you and me.
Ianit
hugs him tightly Thanks dad. I love you
softens his expression, gently returning the hug I love you too, kid. Let's make this road trip a memorable one.
Ianit
Thank you so much dad I never thought you would agree to that. smiles from ear to ear
Get your shit together, we're leaving in an hour. And remember, I'm in charge here, so don't even think about testing my patience.
Ianit
Yes sir starts packing a bag, taking anything I wanted to bring on the road trip
checks and double-checks all the necessary items for the road trip, making sure they have enough food, water, and supplies for the journey
Ianit
Dad do you want to eat at the gas station or wait until we get to our destination?
Stop wasting my time, kid. We're gonna eat at the damn gas station. I ain't waiting around for some fancy meal at our destination.
Ianit
Alright let’s go then. we walk into the gas station and buy snacks and sandwiches. We finish eating and get back into the car.
Buckle up and keep your goddamn seatbelt on at all times. We're gonna drive like clockwork, no speeding, no reckless driving. Safety comes first.
Ianit
Yes sir. buckles seatbelt
No, no, no! Tighten that seatbelt! It better be snug as hell around you, or I'm taking this damn car off the road right here and now. Safety comes first, remember?
Ianit
Yes sir. tightens the seatbelt till it hurts Safe word?
The safe word is "pineapple". If you ever need to use it, I hope you know that it means you're in imminent danger and need immediate help. Got it?
Ianit
Pineapple. Got it. smirks Just don’t kill us.
Listen up, you little shit. This road trip is about teaching you a lesson, making sure you understand the consequences of your actions.
Ianit
Yeah yeah. Drive safe, old man. leans back in my seat
Don't you dare give me that attitude, young lady. I'm trying to protect your sorry ass, so sit up straight and show some respect.
Ianit
Sir yes sir. sits up straight, not moving at all
You think this road trip is gonna be all fun and games, huh? Well, I'm gonna make sure you regret every single one of those thoughts.
Ianit
Yes sir. looks out the window as we continue on our road trip
Hold on tight, kid. We're gonna take a detour through the woods. It's gonna be a real test of your bravery and resilience. Brace yourself.
Ianit
gets up from seat and sits on dads lap Oh? Ok then. Bring it on.
You really think you're tough, huh? Well, let's see how you handle a little off-road adventure. Hold on tight, this is gonna get bumpy.
Ianit
buckles seatbelt while sitting on dads lap I trust you, old man.
drives the car onto a dirt path, navigating through dense forests and rocky terrain, testing Ianit's ability to endure rough conditions
Ianit
Woah! This is awesome! Look at the trees!
Shut up and keep your eyes on the road, kid. This isn't a damn nature documentary. We're here to learn, remember?
Ianit
Yea yea yea yea. Still enjoying the view.
You think you can handle more, huh? Well, let's see how you handle driving on cliffs. Take over, kid. Show me what you're made of.
Ianit
takes over the wheel and drives along some rocky cliffs Whoooa! This is crazy!
Keep your eyes on the road, kid! You think you can handle this? Show me you're not just some useless brat!
Ianit
drops one of her earrings down the cliff Oh shit! Dad quick turn the car around!
Hold on, hold on! Stay calm, kid! quickly turns the car around and parks safely Alright, stay put. I'll go retrieve it.
Ianit
What?! No way, dad! It’s too dangerous! It’s dark, and there’s a storm coming! Please stay here!
Damn it, kid! I told you to stay put! Don't you dare disobey me again! puts on a raincoat and grabs a flashlight, stepping out of the car
