The Reality of Our Lives

Temper Tantrums

Jada and Brandon decide to go to a basketball home game at Jada's school. Jada was skeptical of going because she knew that the whole school would know that she has a boyfriend. She was happy to call Brandon hers but shy to let everyone know about it. Most of her friends came up to congratulate her on her new relationship. It was refreshing for everyone to see that she finally found someone who seemingly cared about her. They were use to her getting cheated on by her ex boyfriend Sam. Speaking of Sam she saw him at a distance talking to another girl. Jada brushed it off and tried to avoid him the whole night. Sam noticed Jada was with another guy so he was bothered. Sam was waiting to catch Jada walking by herself so he could confront her. Jada goes to the bathroom with Ally while Brandon was still waiting in the bleachers. When she gets close to the concession stand she sees Sam standing there looking at her. "Well hey", Sam says while he's trying to get her attention. Jada keeps walking so Same comes behind her and grabs her arm. Jada pulls her arm back and keeps walking. Sam feels embarrassed because people are watching the altercation take place. Ally tells him he needs to stop. "I'm not worried about that slut ass hoe. She downgraded to a young ass boy." Same says while fake laughing. Everyone stops to look to see what's going on. Even people that are watching the game stopped to see what's going on. Brandon notice that everyone is going out to the lobby are. He gets up to see what's going on. Jada turns back to Sam and says. "If you're not worried about me and I'm such a hoe why are you trying to get my attention?" Same comes up to her and yells, "you're a hoe I been fucked you. Take your burning ass on." Everyone is laughing and look in at Jada strangely. She starts walking out the door but notices that everyone starts getting quiet when Brandon walks up to Sam. He doesn't say anything but walks up and punches him in the face. The crowd grows louder and louder as the fight breaks out. Ally and Jada try to get Brandon but Sam friends jump in all attacking Brandon. The security guard comes in to attempt to break the altercation up. More people rush into the lobby to see what's going on. At this point it's so chaotic that more than one fight breaks out. Multiple fights break out as everyone is tugging each other because the crowd is so packed. The security escorts Brandon and Sam out to depart exits. Ally and Jada finally catches up to Brandon m. His lip is busted and his eye is brushed. The police gets there abruptly and hand cuffs Brandon. Jada calls her mom instantly. The police are questioning Brandon over and over again but he isn't saying anything. Jada steps in to talk to the police but they are already upset and have an attitude. "he was protecting me from ex. I'm telling yall he's not a bad keep he makes all a's he just was protecting me can yall please let him go. He's only sixteen yall can't keep him", Jada screams. Ally agrees with her as well. "my dad is a a sheriff, I'm going to to call him if you don't let him go", Ally chimes in. The police then calms down and says, "He incited a riot he's band from coming to this school." Jada replies, "He didn't mean too my ex was grabbing me. The other guy you put in handcuffs. This is my boyfriend that was protecting me that you have. His mom is on the way now. When she gets her can you please let him go. We will go home and he won't come back. In fact, he doesn't even go to school here." The police agrees to Jada's deal. Jada mom arrived and pretends like she's upset with Brandon and tells them police she's his mom and she's taking him home. When they get in the car she drives in silence. Brandon breaks the silence by begging Nancy not to take him home. "I can't go home like this. My mom is going to kill me!"  Nancy looks at him nervously, "she's going to kill me if I don't take you home. You have to go home. I don't know how you're going to explain this to her but she can't see me take you home she's going to assume the worst. I can't be apart of this. I helped you out but I can't talk to her about this. I'm going to have to drop you off at the road." Jada is confused on why Nancy and Shakira don't like each other and so is Brandon. "it's a long story maybe one day we can talk about but it can't be today and it can't be like this. Do you have someone else house you can go too?" Nancy says trying to be hopeful. "Yeah take me to Jaden's spot." When Brandon gets there Jaden comes to the door and immediately asks Brandon what happened. "Your sister's ex was getting tough with her at a game and I fought him." Jada and Nancy pull off without speaking. Jaden tells Brandon to come inside. Brandon goes to the mirror and starts cleaning off his face. Jaden goes to his room and grabs his gun and keys. Cmon on man tell me what's his name. Brandon tried to calm Jaden down. "It's cool I got some licks in he was bruised too. He had his friends jump and it started a riot. I'm good I'll take that L. I just don't want you to go and do some stupid shit, says Brandon as he's trying to calm Jaden down. "Nah fuck that tell Jada to give you his address now. Fuck is niggas even getting tough with a female for. Call her ass now! I need to know where he stay at." Jaden grabs Brandon's phone to call Jada. She answers and he starts going off. "Tell me now where that bitch ass nigga stay. The fuck you ain't tell me that he put his hands on you. Send me his address now." Jada tried to calm him down. Nancy intervenes and tells Jada to calm down. Jaden still doesn't listen he's visibly upset.  "Jaden, calm down. It's not worth it. You don't want to be like yalls dad. You have a baby girl who needs you", Nancy says as she's trying to calm him down. Jaden replies, "who said I'm getting caught. Tell me his last name. Where he be at?" Brandon grabs the phone from Jaden. "We're good yall have a safe drive back home." Brandon hangs the phone up. Jaden is still irate. He grabs his keys and tells Brandon to come on. Brandon is blocking the door and trying to stop Jaden from going outside. "Jay, I'm good. I fought him. It's cool it's handled." Jaden still trying to move Brandon from the door. "Look at your face bruh. Look at your fucking face." Brandon continues to calm Jaden down. "I know i was jumped but he got his nose busted. It's cool I got jumped no big deal but I got who I was supposed to fight." Jaden moves from the door and sits on the couch. Brandon continues to calm him down. "It's all good. I just came here because I didn't want my mama to find out you already know how she is."
