violent crimes

Anika POV
I woke up, rushing down the stairs as I heard the sound of glass breaking in the living room. I hope nobody broke in, what if Billie went crazy?

"Andre!" I yelled

"I'm down here, Anika." He said sounding frustrated

"What's going on?" I rubbed sleep out of my eye

"Shiloh." I rushed to his side as I saw him on the ground bleeding from the mouth and his eye swollen

"What the hell happened, Andre?" I cursed

"He tried to get all big and bad with me, I had to put him in his place." Andre washed his bleeding knuckles

"You hit our son?" I raised my voice

"He was out of line." Andre rolled his eyes

"That doesn't mean you put your hands on him! You blacked his eye." I pushed Andre

"Hey, don't try me, Anika." He pinned me against the wall

"Get out Andre." I told him

"The hell I will, you got my last name. I'll be damned if MY WIFE tell me what to do. He'll be fucking alright, my father pistol whooped me when I tried him. He's lucky I went easy on him." Andre spat

"You father pistol whooped you because he was abusive and he wouldn't have been your father if he didn't rape your mother," I spat

"Just shut up Anika. Stop babying the little nigga, he's good." Andre sat on the couch

"Shiloh let's go." I said to the teenage boy

"Where?" Shiloh asked

"Your uncle's-

"He's not going anywhere, go upstairs and go to your room." Andre spoke over me

"Nah, momma said I'm leaving." Shiloh spoke up

"Your momma gone have you leaving in the ambulance if you don't go to that damn room like I told you. Don't try me little nigga." Andre grabbed Shiloh up by the collar

"Man fuck you." Shiloh pushed Andre before storming out of the house

"Great parenting skills, Andre." I said sarcastically

"He'll be alright." Andre waved me off

I as well left out of the house, attempting to find where Shiloh stormed off to but was to no avail.

I began to grow worried that something bad might've happened

I swear Andre is so incompetent sometimes. Who the fuck blacks their son's eye

"Just go back home, okay? It'll be alright. I'm sure your mother is worried sick." I heard Billie's smooth, resonant voice speak

"No bro, I hate my dad. I swear to God." I heard Shiloh's voice as well

"Shiloh!" I yelled his name

"He's right here." Billie said, spooking me

"Baby come on," I walked up to him and hugged him

"I don't wanna be around him ma, I can't stand him." Shiloh said

"Baby, you have to come home. I know he's not the best father but just try with him okay? He's not perfect and what he did was wrong but you're too young to be out here by yourself." I told him

"But I don't want to mom. He's che- nevermind." Shiloh faltered

"If you'd like, he can stay at my place for the night. I've plenty of empty rooms." Billie stepped in
