A fine china blessing

Chapter 31

Isaiah's point of view
Yea, I got whooped. It didn't even hurt tho. I don't even care anymore to be honest. I have this life, why not have fun? I'm not gonna mess with weed no more though. Not because Chris just because I don't want to.
"Isaiah I heard what happened." Blessing walks into my room yelling.

"Okay.." I reach to turn on the tv but then remember he took the cable card.

"What's going on with you? What's going through your head....."

"You're not a counselor.. you're only my sister."

Yes I said she's my sister. I can't stand her but she's my sister. Not by blood but by any other definition.
"Okay, I'm just trying to figure out why you're being a dub, and why you're doing illegal things." she sits on my chair.

"Because I can."

"No you can't. Are you dumb? You got arrested today!"
"I got taken in.. not arrested."

She looks at me in disbelief.

"You weren't like this a few months ago. It's like you're trying to ruin Dad, you know the media eats this stuff up." She lets it slip out her mouth, then takes second thoughts.

" I could say the same for you. You came up in here and ruined Chris's life." I yell at her

"You didn't make it better! I never got "taken in" you're the one wants to get shot." she says back.

"Whatever. Just shut up and get out." I push her out and close the door behind her.

I don't feel like I've changed. I just toughened up a bit. I've become a man but she's still being a little girl. She needs to grow up and step into reality.
Like me.

The door bust open and I turn around about to yell. Then I see nana and close my mouth really quick

"Don't you dare just stand there. You have words for a reason."

"Hi nana?"

She throws the pillow across the room. I dodged it like a bullet.

"Hi? You really want to play around with me right now? I'm only gonna tell you this once. You're not grown, you're not a thug. You're a soft behind little boy. You think you're big and tough but reality is you're little peewee hasn't even stopped growing yet. Were not going down this road with you. You wanna go to juvy so bad? I'll drive you down there right now. Chris has been through all that. So if anyone knows about it he does. Don't go around messing up a good thing. Do you understand me?"

I nod

"No, if I speak to you in words, I get an answer. Do you understand me?" She breaks apart "do you understand me."

"Yes NaNa."

She turns around to walk out but then comes back.

"And I'm serious. Don't let me find out you're doing illegal stuff. Don't be stupid because when you're laying there in that box, we won't be there to lower you down. That's a fact. Get your head together. You used to be a positive influence on Blessing and a positive vibe. I don't know what's happened the past two months but I don't like it. And if you don't fix it. Jesus will. So unless you want to move out to Virginia with me, where I go to church 6 hours everyday. I suggest you get your act together because I already have the plane ticket for you." She turns around and walks out.

I'm not trying to be going to church like that. Sunday is fine but everyday? Nah.

Blessing's point of view

Right now I'm watching my dad be a fool. This is like so normal.
"See I got it." he falls out of the triple pirouette.

"No you don't daddy." I laugh and show him again.

"Nah, you doing it wrong because I know I'm doing it right."

"How you know? I'm the one taking classes, what about you?"

"You got that talent from me boo boo. I'm why you can "dance" That's not even dancing. That's spinning on one leg... like a chicken."

"What? Chickens have two legs.... you babble a lot." I laugh.

He tries it again, then grabs his calf.

"Cramp!" He tells dropping to the floor.

"How is that possible? I honestly don't know why so many people adore you.. you're so weird." I throw the pillow at him on the floor.

"You just answered your own question. You're weird too. I never realized how alike we are until now." he sits up and looks at me.

"Alike? No we are not. You're weird and loud and annoying and-

"Sexy, and cool, and amazing, and talented and precious-

"Go away, stop feeling yourself." we both laugh.

"Can't forget conceited." Nana comes downstairs and sits on the couch next to me.

"Son.... why are you wearing leg warmers?" Nana ask placing her hand on her head

"Baby girls teaching me ballet." he smiles.

"So you wear leg warmers? Those aren't even your color. You should stick to red or blue.

"Ma, this is a shade of blue."

"It is not, that's purple."

"No it's not ma."

They go back and forth about the color for a minute.

"Dad, she's right it's purple." The leg warmers are definitely purple.

"Blessing I'm getting tired of this. I helped bring you in the world. The least you can do is agree with me."
He pretends to get upset. Me and nana just laugh.

"I love you daddy." I get up and fall onto him hugging him.

"No, I don't want your love now." She swerves my hug.

"Alright, I'll just give it to one of the boys at school." I smile and stand up. This dude pulls me down by my leg and catches me.

"You better not." he says laughing.

"If you don't take it, someone has to... hmm I think Theron would want it."

"What's a Theron? There should be a space between the and ron. He thinks he's cool cause he can put that together alright. For now on I'm 'Thechris" he lets me go.

"Alright Thechris.... No, at least Theron sounds okay, Thechris sounds stupid." I say

"So does Theron. Anyways next topic of discussion what are we doing today?"

"Can we have a cook out?" I ask

My dad scrunches his eyebrows

"And invite who? Not Theron."

"Haha you're funny. Invite family."

"Well it's 10 right now, so if I call everyone know they should be here by 5. I guess so, why not. I'll post to my private Facebook and make some calls I guess." My dads gets up stretches and leave but not before trying the triple again.

"Dad, no. Just give it up."
