My Brother's Hood Bestfriend

EIGHTEEN

Janiyah

Chi and I ran towards Shanice. She gasped and tried to run but it was too late. I grabbed her hair and dragged her across the floor, just like she'd done to me, but I did it to hard, leading two of her braids to come out. Then Chi and I began throwing punches at her face as she screamed for help. Melanie stared in shock.

"HELPPPP!" She shrieked. The park was filled with kids, don't think it was a good idea to make this the place where we bang her. The older kids all began to watch in excitement, whilst the little kids all ran crying to their mums.

Chi and I continued punching her to the point where she was bleeding on her nose and her teeth. She began to sob loudly.

"Please just stop!" She begged, whilst sobbing on her knees. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and began recording.

"Say sorry fam. Say I'm sorry for ever trying to hurt you Janiyah!" I yelled. Chi gave a light push on the head. She continued to cry.

"Say it bitch!" I commanded.

"I'm sorry!" She yelled whilst crying. "I'm sorry for ever trying to hurt you, Janiyah."

"Say you'll never try shit with Janiyah ever again!" Chi yelled.

"I'll never try shit with Janiyah ever again."

"Say I'm a hoe and I suck on Joshua's dick!" I yelled.

"I'm a hoe and I suck on Joshua's dick! Just please, let me go homeeee!"

"Shut up bitch! Now say I'm a pussy and if Mari didn't come Janiyah would've won the fight!" Chi added.

Shanice repeated what she said as I smiled, still recording.

"Lastly, say 'Tiara don't think it's over. Janiyah and chi are coming for you!" I screamed.

"You mean Janiyah and Imani!" Chi said.

"Tiara don't think it's over, Janiyah and Imani are coming for you! Now please, I've said sorry, just let me go. Let me go homeee!" She sobbed.

I low-key felt bad so I walked away and chi followed. I posted the video to all my socials, smiling to myself. Maybe we went a bit too far, but she should've known not to mess with me after last time.

"So now that you're living with your brother, your taking this as an opportunity to fight that girl again!" Mum said on the phone.

"I already dealt with her mother last year after you sent the poor girl to the hospital! And now I come home from work to a letter from her mother, hearing that she came home bleeding because of you once again!"

"She started it, mum. I was just chilling at Morrisons because I wanted to buy food then she comes screaming at me! As the bigger person I decided not to hit her but she dragged me across the floor! I'll even send you the video mum, I didn't do anything!" I yelled. Jordan sat next to me, shocked at how easily I just lied to her.

"Well, that doesn't excuse the fact that you'd beaten her up and left her bleeding!" Mum yelled.

"I couldn't care less about the girl, I just thought I'd finally get peace since her mother won't leave me alone! Her mother is a piss take!" She continued. I tried not to laugh. It was so funny hearing mum use slang. I mean, mum is young so it's no surprise that she uses it every now and then.

"And you, Jordan! You're meant to take care of your little sister. Where were you during this!"

"You know Niyah's difficult! It's been hard taking care of her!"

"Yes, she's difficult, that's why you have to take responsibility."

"Me? Difficult?" I screamed. "Have you met your Mari friend? He's the difficult one not me!"

"Who's Mari?" Mum asked.

"Oh it's just Niyah's man." Jordan replied smirking. The gasp I let out was so loud, the neighbours must've heard.

"EW BITCH WHAT THE FUCK, ILL NEVER GET WITH THAT UGLY PRICK!"

Jordan and mum laughed.

"Jordan you better teach her how to stop using that language!" mum laughed.

"Oh right sorry mum! Well yeah, I won't beat her up again, it was my bad. Sorry"

"Well...to get her mother off my case, I've organised a day for you to visit their house and apologise to Shanice in person."

Jordan snickered. "Peak."

After arguing with mum for a while, she finally convinced me to apologise to Shanice in person. It pissed me off when my mum mentioned something about me still causing her problems even though I don't even live with her no more, so that's why I decided to agree with her.

I love my mum, she's already been through a lot and I didn't want her to go through more stress because of me. I'm starting to think there's a bigger reason as to why she sent me to live with my brother. Am I that bad to live with?

When Jordan and I were young, we both lived with my mum and Junior. Junior was the man who made my mum give birth to me and Jordan, however I don't call him dad. I never called him dad. Tbh, I never really spoke to him.

Whilst mum and Junior were together, he was nothing but abusive. There was never a day when he wasn't hitting her, and it left me crying for days. I never knew why he did it tho, so I just assumed that it was my fault that he'd always hurt my mum. He was a strong man with anger issues. He'd go to the gym everyday, and each day his muscles would grow larger, making mum grow even more scared. My mum was so strong. She went through so much and no one could help her.

At first, when he used to hit mum, I'd cry loudly, however, one day, when I was 6 years old, I'd cried so hard that it had led Junior to get more mad and hit me. It was painful. Jordan would try help me but Junior would always push him aside. He'd done it for a while, until I realised it was my cries that pissed him off. So whenever he'd hit mum, I'd keep a straight face. I knew keeping a straight face wouldn't make my dad mad, so i continued doing it. I was such a pussy, I should've just helped my mum.

Eventually mum called her sister, Aunt Lee to help. She works with cameras so they secretly installed cameras around the house and caught a video of Junior being abusive. They used the videos to send him to prison.

Aunt Lee has two children, Lana (19) and  Laurel (20) and they moved in with us a short while after Junior went to jail, since they were struggling to find a home. They've lived with us ever since. I do miss them icl. I'll visit one day i guess.
