The Truth

Ron

I was in the hospital shaking my leg vigorously while twiddling my thumbs. Everyone was at the hospital. My mom, my sister, my brother, and Sariyah's family.

Joy's ribs were crushed and she was in surgery. Some type of medal bar went into Sariyah's side and she just got done with surgery, and plus she has a concussion.

I was mad as fuck and I have a feeling I know who did this. I got up and stretched.

"Anybody want anything? I'm about to make a store run?"

I was also going home. Joy would freak if she woke up and her stuffed animal bear wasn't by her side.

I rolled by the house looking at it through my window. Just then Micheal came out. He's messing with these dudes again?

I shook my head and got out the car.

"Micheal! Micheal!"

"What?!"
He turned around.
"What are you doing here!?

"I should shoot you dead in your face right now" I said through clenched teeth.

"Dude what has gotten into you? We use to be best friends?"

"Really nigga? Your dad steals thousands of dollars from us and you expect us to be cool?"

"That was years ago. Before we were in high school! Let it go!"

"You don't know..."

"I don't know what?"

"Your dad raped my sister. We let that money shit go but your dad raped my little sister. That's why we are after him. You know how many years of therapy she's had?"

What? That can't be true? My dad a rapist? That's why he has been running? Not because of some money stolen but because of rapping Micheal's sister? My dad raped the girl I gave my virginity to. I was in love with her way before Sariyah.

I sighed.

"Look man I didn't know. But don't take this out on me or anyone else in my family, take it out on my dad"

He smirked and walked away. I put my hands on my head and sighed and got back in my car.
