A Night To Remember

Chapter 21: Laurent

I returned to the inside pool room with drinks. Only to find everyone was looking in one direction. Some guy was yanking Angela's arm and yelling at her. I do not condone domestic violence; especially violence against women. I put the drinks down and ran to her rescue.

"Get off of her! Get behind me. " I yelled as I stepped in between them.

I moved Angela behind me.

"Who the fuck is you?" The man yelled at me.
"The real question is who is you? This is my party!" I demanded.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Terrance. And that bitch behind you is mine. "
"I'm not yours anymore, you cheating son of a bitch!" Angela yelled and held on to my shoulders.

Terrance charged at me like a bull out of Spain.

"Terrance! No!" Angela screamed.

I charged at Terrance and pushed him to the floor. People was screaming and shouting. Terrance stumbled to get off the floor and stand up.

"I'm not going to ask you again. Get out of here. Or be thrown out. " I warned Terrance and held on to Angela's shaky hand.

Terrance charged at me again. But this time, he knocked me down.

"Oh my god! Terrance, stop it! Please! " Angela cried out.

Terrance and I wrestled on the floor. I punched Terrance in the nose. His nose bleeds instantly. Then he punched me in the jaw. I suddenly heard somebody yell,

"Get the fuck off him!"

Surprisingly, it was Larry. He jumped on Terrance's back and punched him a few times in the face. Once Terrance was off me, security guards came and grabbed Terrance. They shoved him out of the house. Larry looked at me, up and down, then asked,

"You alright, man?"
"I'll be okay. " I replied and hugged Larry.

I turned turned to Angela and asked,

"Who was that? "

With sadness on her face, Angela covered her mouth and ran. I ran after her. At this point, I'm tired of getting into problems because of other people. I'm fed up and I want some answers, right now! Larry yelled my name. But I ignored him. I followed Angela to her room. She locked the door before I could get in. I knocked on the door and yelled,

"Open this door! "
"No! " Angela yelled.
"I'm not playing with you. Open this door, now!" I yelled and continued to bang on the door.

Larry and Pom caught up with me. They struggled to pull me away from the door.

"C'mon man! Calm down! " Larry and Pom shouted.
"Hey, listen to me. You have got to calm down. The girl is already scared. Relax, breath, and try again, calmly. " Larry explained.

Pom came out of nowhere, telling me,

"Your car lights are on. "

I handed Pom my car keys and said,

"Good looking out. Go turn them off. "
"Okay. " Pom replied and went outside.

Larry stayed with me as I gently knocked on the door and said,

"Angela, it's Laurent. Please open the door. I want to talk to you. Please, baby girl."

Larry had a "what the fuck," look on his face. Angela opened the door and let me in. Larry attempted to follow me into the room. I put my hand on his chest and said,

"Nah, man, I'm going to handle this, the right way. She doesn't need any of your smart remarks. I got this. "
"Alright, you better handle this. " Larry replied and closed the door.
