A Quiet Place

23.

Blake Brielle Woods

Maz had been trying to change my mind about fighting this girl but once my mind set on something, it has to happen. So this has to happen, Andrea walking around like she can't get touched.

Tuh.

I groan, "Maz, we finna fight next." I told her.

She smacks her lips, "You too pretty ta be fighting ma."

I shrug, "So you want me to switch cheese her?"

She immediately shake her head, "Girl- no."

I hum, "Okay then."

After putting my hair up, I make my way downstairs with Maz behind me. She keeps trying to talk me out of fighting Andrea. Maz catches Jordan's attention with all her words.

"What's goin on Maz?" Jordan asked.

"She tryna fight Andrea." She said, looking at me.

I jerk my head back, "Actually she tryna fight me, she doin all that woofing like-" I cut myself off with my own laughter.

"Aw shit, lemme come with yall. This ho laughing."Jordan said, quickly going upstairs.

"What she talkin bout?" Maz said, clueless.

My laughter die down, "Maz, I'm crazy man."

"Real muh'fuckin crazy, here." Jordan tossed me a pack of gummies.

"I'm good, let's go." I said, tossing them back to her.

I grab my keys and make my way to the car. On the whole ride there I didn't say a word, barely listening to Jordan and Maz's conversation. I get out the car and start stretching before leaning against the car, waiting for Andrea.

The sound of footsteps make me look up. Once my eyes focused on the familiar figure, I start smiling.

She starts, "Bitch I-"

Pushing myself off the car, I say, "You gon run up or I got to, Ion do too much talkin." I walk closer to her.

I nod my head when I hear Maz tell me to be careful. After giving her 30 seconds to think, I run up. Once I threw my first punch, I black out.

I feel myself get pulled off of Andrea.

"Don't even think about it Brielle." Jordan said in my ear when she sees me get up.

I nod and take deep breathes. Andrea's friend pops up out of nowhere and makes her way to Andrea. I wince when I see Andrea's face.

In the middle of the walk back to the car, I feel a pain shoot through my eye making me wince and immediately stop.

Jordand and Maz look at me concerned. I put my hand over my eyes then look at my hand to see blood on it.

"Fuck." I muttered, putting my hand back on my eye.

Maz guides me to the car before moving my hand.

"That ho scratched you." Jordan said, sounding mad as fuck.

I shrug, "She look worse than me."

Maz pecks my lips, "Let's go to your house and get you cleaned up."

I nod and get comfortable in the passenger seat. Closing my eyes, I let myself go to sleep.

I open my eyes, feeling myself getting picked up. I close them back when I smell Maz.
