Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Ronnie 102

My vision was still tinted with red when we pulled up Tay's apartment like I really wanted to go back and beat the fuck out of Jace; like it was a build-up of shyt... the constant jokes about my clothes, the disrespectful comments about everyone in the house, how he treated Tay, and today was just...... I didn't even realize Najee had got in the car with us until I noticed him unlocking the door. We walked into the apartment and I instantly sat down on the couch, in a sort of daze still trying to process what happened today... I couldn't believe he was gone, like without warning it was like winning the lotto and then finding out there was an asteroid coming towards Earth that was going to wipe out all life. I understand him leaving, but what baffled me was the fact that he hadn't told me sooner... was it because he felt like I wouldn't be able to handle it? Or was it something more selfish like wanting me to be happy... he'd pull some shyt like that, doing everything in his power to make sure I was straight all the while he was suffering on the inside. I remembered the look in his eyes, breaking up with me broke him but he didn't want to string me along not knowing if he'd be coming back. Tears slowly started to fill my eyes but they weren't tears of sadness, I was fuckin pissed and the next thing I knew I was picking up something and tossing it, Tay's TV shattered before falling onto the floor...... I jumped up and started walking towards the door only to find my path blocked.

"MAN MOVE!!!!!" I said trying to push past Tay but he wouldn't budge, blocking me from leaving the apartment, I tried heading for the backdoor but again he blocked my path. "Aight so you wanna be fuckin childish?" I asked turning back for the front door, again my path was blocked all while Najee looked at the TV like I had just killed his dog or something.

"Ron-Ron...." Tay said softly and I could already see where this was going, I didn't need sympathy right now, what I needed was a moment to clear my head and I couldn't do that. "I know you bro... you gotta face this shyt right now and not hold it in."

"There's nothing to face.... Antwan is gone, Jace is messy, and I want to beat that nigga's ass... all my feelings are right there on the table. I'm not hiding shyt.... sorry about your TV but you should've just let me beat Jace's ass instead of jumping in and saving him.... he's had that asswhoopin coming for years and you know that...." I said trying to get past him yet again.

"Maybe, and Jace will get a similar conversation... however my concern at the moment is my brother. I can look at you and tell you're hurting. You've had a rough two years; getting kidnapped, finding out your mom had your biological father killed, losing your paternal grandma, the shyt with your mom, Dejon moving, Josiah moving, and now Antwan... who we both know is your soulmate just leaving without any warning.... Ron, you hold so much inside and I've never once seen you let it out.... Just let it out bro." Tay said stepping towards me.

"How many times do I have to tell you I'm FINE!!!!" I asked pushing him hard as fuck, I could tell he didn't appreciate being pushed but he still walked towards me with his arms stretched out. "MAN MOVE!!!!" I yelled pushing him again, he was getting on my damn nerves... I didn't need a fuckin breakthrough I just needed some time to process everything. "TAY I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T FUCKIN MOVE!!!!!" I said pushing him again.

"Ronnie.... it's coo to be hurt, it's perfectly fine for you to be mad, if you gotta punch me... just don't fuck up my face." Tay said smiling.

"MAN, I'M NOT GOING TO PUNCH YOU... I'LL JUST BREAK SOME MORE OF YOUR SHYT, NOW MOVE OR I'LL....." I said looking around for something to break and noticing Najee moving the PS5 to safety. I started storming around Tay's living breaking anything that wasn't glued down, was it immature? Most definitely but it was also therapeutic, the worst part was Tay just let me do it... saying that it was 'just material shyt' and that pissed me off even more because I was looking for conflict... I wanted to fight somebody and he wasn't letting me do it.
