It was chapping outside now and the cold breeze was not helping at all. It was too cold to wait around for the bus and my house was 10minutes away so I decided to walk.
The only thing taking my mind off the cold weather was the anger I had for Calista, how could she do that to me?
My life was so messed up, good things seemed to come to me one by one but when the bad things came they just dropped in large bundles.
Now I was only 3 minutes away from my house and I felt like running home, especially when I heard footsteps coming from behind; I stopped. The footsteps grew louder and a big dark hand was placed on my shoulders, I spun round on my heels ready to fight back but relaxed slightly when I saw Derrick standing in front of me.
'You scared me.' I said relieved that I was safe.
'Sorry, where's Samantha?' He said
'I don't know, I haven't seen her for time.'
'Oh seen, where you going?'
'Home, you?'
'Home to, what's going on with you and Alex then?'
'Nothing, were not together.'
'Do you wanna be with him?'
'Nah not really, I haven't got time for dickhead's...'
THUD! Before I could even continue, Derrick swung for my face and I fell on the floor; I was in shock.
'Don't talk about my boy like that!' He said looking down at me.
'You dickhead!' I said getting up and punching Derrick's jaw. I thought it was over when he remained still holding on to his chin and I was just about to walk away but instead I received the duttiest backhand ever! I swear it came out of nowhere. This time I fell into some bushes and my head was buried into the soil as he repeatedly kicked my stomach, then he stopped and dragged me up onto my feet; by now I was bleeding and badly bruised, I had no energy to be standing up, I just wanted to sleep.
'Ite Chantel, fight me now if you're a bad gal init.' He said shoving my head; I was so weak that I fell on the floor when he pushed me.
'Get up you sket!' He yelled as he dragged up again.
'I don't wanna fight you Derrick.' I said coughing up blood.
'So why you gonna start something...'He grabbed my long hair and swung me round, '...if you ain't gonna finish it!' Then my face met his fist for the 3rd time. I could hear someone laughing in the background but I couldn't make out who it was because it was too dark and my eyes were swollen.
The third bang made my legs give way but I was stopped from falling on the cold pavement by Derrick who was still holding my hair, it hurt sooo much but falling on the floor would have hurt much more.
'See your cousin's not here to help you is he?' Derrick said holding onto my neck firmly.
'N-no.' I said waiting for the next bang. So that's what all this was about, my cousin get's sent to pen and now all these little boys get confidence from no where.
'How long's he got?' He said smiling.
'3 m-months.' I shivered.
'What... you said he was doing a year bruv!' Derrick said looking over at the over boy who was now behind me.
'Yea that's what I heard.' The boy said, his voice was so familiar but I couldn't put a face to it, not right now anyway. How did all these people know about Ramal? I only told Calista... shit!
