I walked downstairs to see my dad in the living room sitting on the couch drinking a beer. I quietly walk pass him and into the kitchen where my mom was making dinner. "Ma, are you okay?"
She was crying while seasoning the chicken. She nod while wiping her tears "I'm fine William."
"Ma you're not fine. When is the verbal abuse going to stop? He makes you cry because he's the dead beat." I snapped.
She turn to me "Don't talk about your father like that. He's trying his hardest."I shook my head "No he's not, it doesn't look like he's looking in the newspapers to find good paying jobs nor is he out there doing a interview. You gotta cut him off immediately before something happens."
"Ruth, is dinner ready?" My father walked in the kitchen. "No Gregory. I just started seasoning the chicken."
He slammed the beer bottle on the table "Dinner never fucking ready around here. Your slow fat ass need to hurry up."
My mother wiped the tears that slide down her cheeks, I hate to see my mother cry; big nor small issues. I turn to Gregory "If you're so damn hungry, how about you go in my mother car and buy you some damn fast food. Oh wait, you don't have any money it's my mothers money you're spending."There was shock on both of their faces. I'm usually the quiet shy type that doesn't speak or talk back so I know where they're coming from with there shocked expressions.
"Gregory, he didn't mean that." Ma tried to pull me back but I didn't budge. "I mean every last one of it. You verbally abuse this woman because you don't have a job and I'm tired of watching from the sidelines. Either you get your act together or pack up your shit."
He chuckled "Look bitch, you better go in your room and suck some dick. This is grown folks business, not little teenage faggots that think they know everything." he stepped up to me. I stood my ground, my father is very muscular and tall like the hulk. So compared to both of us, I'm like a stick and he's a whole tree."Go fuck your self." I said before walking out the kitchen and into my room, slamming the door during the process. I then heard yelling, mostly from my father and the front door slamming shut. I soon heard my mother car started up and screeching of the tires going down the street. I already knew my father took my mothers car, he always do that to go to his side bitch house.
My phone started to ring and I already knew it was Tray. I picked it up immediately "Hey babe." I said with the biggest smile on my face. Its only been 4 days into the relationship and I'm already smiling every time he calls.
"Hey are you coming to the party?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I just don't like parties."
"Come on babe. Do it for me, if you're not feeling it then we'll leave."
I huffed "Fine."
I can feel him smile on his end "Aight, I'll pick you up at 9."
"Okay. I'll see you in 3 hours."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and put it on the charger. I opened my door to walk out of my room and to the kitchen to see my mother crying some more."Ma, you gotta stop crying over this man."
She wiped her tears "How can you just say that? He's your father and my husband-"
I cut her off "Ma, he's probably 5 other kids father. He's with his side bitch right now, he doesn't give us respect, so why would we give respect to him?"
She wiped some more tears "You're right. We don't need him in our lives anyway." she shrugged.
I smiled "There's this party tonight-"
"I thought you don't do parties?"
"I still don't, it just Travon wants me to swing by with him."
"Okay, come back at curfew."
I nod "Okay." I walk up to her and gave her a hug "You're becoming strong Ma."
"You are too." we pulled apart.
"I wonder what I should wear. Can you help me pick out a outfit?"
She smiled "Of course. Let me just put this chicken in the oven."
"Okay."-------------------
The party was crowded as fuck. The last time I went to a party this crowded was when someone at the school got stabbed and that was a year ago.
Tray and I got out the car and walked in hand and hand to the entrance. We walked inside and it was hotter than the devil balls in here. Like every window could be open in this big ass house and it still feel like hell.
Travon pulled me too the back where less people are and where my friends and his cousin is."Ed, you came." Helen gave me a hug first "Yeah. Next it's going to snow in summer." I chuckled. "Thanks for giving Evan advice."
"No problem. Did it work for you?"
She nod "Now he's saving time for me."
"That's good.""Ed, hey." V said. "Hey, where's Gia?"
"She's with Sean getting drinks. Where's Travon?"
"With his cousin."
"Are you happy?"
I nod "So happy. He just makes me smile."
"That's good, as long as you're happy and safe. I gotta handle my brother, I'll be back." she walked off to her brother and his friends.I walked over to Travon, his cousin and friends. "Hey William."
I waved at Frank and his friends "Hi." I said shyly.
"You're right Frank, he is shy." One of his friends said. I look down at my feet because all there attention was one now. "Can y'all stop staring at him like a zoo animal?" Tray said while wrapping his arm around me.Gia and Sean walked over with drinks in their hand "Hey Ed." Gia said while looking at my with suspicion. "I wonder if it's going to snow tonight." Sean took a sip of his drink.
I rolled my eyes "Whatever."
"Let's go dance." Gia grabbed Sean and I arm and pulled us to the dance floor. I don't really dance, especially not at these type of parties so I just let Gia twerked on me while Helen twerked on Sean.
"Sean, where's Jeffery?"
"Oh he was tired so he didn't come. I'll go over there tonight."
"Y'all always have sex." I comment.
He shrugged "I don't really have a explanation for that. Maybe his stroke game is so amazing that I can't get enough of it."
I gagged "Okay, I didn't want to know all of that."
He shrugged. "Just saying."I felt a pair of arms wrap around my body and a big chest behind my head. I turn to see Tray smiling down at me. "I don't think my boyfriend would like you grabbing on me like that."
He shrugged "Oh well. He would have to get over it."
We chuckled and started to dance. Few times here and there I dropped it like its hot. I soon got tired of partying so I asked Tray to take me home. We said our goodbyes and walked out into the midnight breeze. We got in the car and drove off to the direction of my house."How did you like the party? Nobody got killed."
"It was good. Only thing that I hated was the heat. It was hot as fuck in there."
He chuckled "That's what all parties are like."
"I don't know how y'all can handle that."
He parked the car in front of my house. "I'll talk to you later." I kissed his lips. "Aight, goodnight."
"Goodnight." I got out the car and walked to the door before unlocking and opening it. As soon as I walked in Tray left. I closed and locked the door and walked to my mothers room "Sorry I'm late Ma-"
I walked in her room and saw that she was crying her eyes out. "Ma are you okay?" I went her aid.
She shook her head "Your father is dead."
"What happened?"
She sniffed "He's been shot. The hoes ex-boyfriend caught them fucking and he shot your father. I just got the call 5 minutes ago. I can't believe he's dead."I didn't say anything because what I wanted to say was 'good riddance' but my mother did love him and she's grieving. So only thing I could do was be there for comfort.
