Fighter

Chapter 55: Hurtful Words

Tommy was really drunk, I haven't even seen him this drunk. How much did he fuckin drink? He was fighting with Jade in the living room for the bottle she was keeping from him, they were screaming at eachother now. Tommy said some hurtful shit, I knew it hurt Jade but she didn't take it personally because he was drunk. I stayed in my room while they fought.

"YOU WANNA BE LIKE POP TOMMY?! HUH?!"

"YO FUCK YOU, GO FUCKIN CRY TO BRENDAN ABOUT HOW HARD YOUR LIFE WAS"

I couldn't handle it anymore I ran out of the room and in between them. Jade looked ready to punch him and Tommy looked ready to walk out again. I grabbed the bottle from Jade, and Tommy grabbed for it. I pulled it away.

"first of all, this is MINE. I bought it an you didn't even ask" Tommy stared at me, shrugging his shoulders and chewing on his toothpick. "second of all you guys need to stop fighting before it tears you apart"

"HE ALREADY TORE US APART" she yelled and Tommy's eyes softened for a second, then he snarled, eyes hardening.

"Yo, not my fault you and Brendan stayed with pop, mom needed you, I needed you" he growled "it was hard enough that my big brother bailed on me but you?!" He shook his head "mom was crying your name, Jade, YOU DIDNT EVEN COME SEE HER" Jade pushed him and she ran out the door, I screamed after her but she was gone.

I turned to Tommy who punched a wall, cursing to himself, he didn't really think before he said shit, I could tell he regretted it... I knew Jade knew better than to go get drugs, she needed to fight in Sparta she knew that, so either she was going to a friends house or Brendan's house. I knew for a fact if I went after her she wouldn't come with me, she needed to get away from this house and from Tommy.  I walked to him, his head in his hands as he sat on the couch, shaking from anger.

"Go for a walk or somethin Tommy.." He nodded standing up and walking to the door but he stopped an turned around and looked at me "...you comin'?" He asked his eyes pleading.
