Natahalia's Song

Beware of a Mad Dominican Woman

  Chapter 5: 

      Marisol and Dominic's 12 year old daughter, Nayla stared outside from her partial shattered window. Another physical altercation between her parents. She sometimes didn't understand why her mom dealt with her father, but I guess that's what women are suppose to go through.

           Nayla wasn't pleased watching Nazir outside surrounded by girls from his high school. Nayla has been knowing him since he and Natahalia were in the 8th grade, so about 2 years. Mostly everyone knew about Natahalia and Nazir, so why did those girls still flirt with him?

         Natahalia slowly parked on the side of the street. She just finished practicing driving she needed 10 more hours left and her 16th birthday was around the corner, so she could get her license. She stepped out the car and quickly noticed Nazir kissing some girl. Were her eyes deceiving her?

       "Nazir!" Natahalia yelled marching over to him. Nazir didn't hear Natahalia as he was focused on sucking the lips of the fine girl in front of him. Natahalia pushed aside the girl and Nazir opened his eyes to see Natahalia's large belly in his face.

        "What the hell, Nazir!" Natahalia pushed Nazir, knocking him on the ground. The group of girls scrambled away, they weren't sure what would happen next and they didn't want to know. Nazir wrapped his hands around Natahalia beginning to choke her.

         Natahalia gasped for air, but Nazir pressed his hands down into Natahalia's throat. Natahalia felt like she was slipping away, she didn't know what was going to be in store for her.

     Marísol was livid as she saw the marks all over Natahalia's neck. "What did he do to you?" Marísol asked comforting her distraught daughter. Nazir wasn't Marísol favorite person in the world. Instead he seemed just like another Demetrius Talbert, except Demetrius was who he was and Nazir was just a wannabe.

       "Mommy, you're going to hate me." Natahalia said through her sniffs. Typical. Nicole and Natahalia were always so dramatic. "Hija, what's going on?" Marísol mockingly asked. Natahalia shook her head.

        She just couldn't let it out.

      That's when Marísol became even more concerned.

      "Hija.."

      "Mommy, I'm almost 6 months pregnant."

        Nicole closed the door and was blindsided by what she just heard. Natahalia revealed that she was pregnant to Marísol.

         "What did you just say?" Marísol asked Natahalia.

 

       Nicole stood at the entrance to the room, with her arms crossed her chest.

     "I'm pregnant." Natahalia repeated with shame. Marisol exploded. Nicole ran over, grabbing Marisol and pulling her away from scared emotional Natahalia. Natahalia didn't need another person placing their hands on her.

     "Mommy, calm down." Nicole whispered. How could Nicole stay so calm in this moment, this moment of such anger. "Get up Natahalia Dominguez!" Marísol demanded. Natahalia got up as fast as she could and stood face to face with her mother.

       "Girls let's go." Marísol opened the front door and Nicole and Natahalia didn't hesistate and both rushed out the door.

         Natahalia let out screams and Marísol dragged her to the front door of the Pendleton's. "Mommy, please we don't have to do this." Natahalia cried. "Shut up you weren't thinking that when you were having sex with that boy!" Nicole stood tapping her right foot anxiously as wished the Pendleton's would open that front door. Actually she was scared what Marisol will do once they open it, maybe they shouldn't come to the door.

              Both of Nazir's parents came to the door. Mr. Pendleton was a prison guard and rumors say he's the most corrupt you will deal with in jail and Mrs. Pendleton is a nurse at Mt. Sinai Hospital. "Marísol, Natahalia, Nicole what can we do for you ladies?" Mr. Pendleton asked flashing a fake smile. Nicole's stomach rolled as she watched him smile, she hated everything about this family. "Your son got my daughter pregnant." Marísol got straight to the point.

        "Nazir!" Mrs. Pendleton shouted for her son.

              Nazir dashed down the stairs, and came to the door, towering over his 5'5 mother.

  

         "What's going on? Nat, what's up?"

        "Don't act like you don't know." Marisol yelled at him.

   

       "Hey watch your tone, Marisol." Mr. Pendleton became defensive. "Maybe tell your son he shouldn't be going around impregnanting girls. I know good and well you two don't want a grandchild, they are very expensive." Mrs. Pendleton rolled her eyes. "Congrats on your grandchild, but this child isn't his, so please leave before we call the police." "So now my daughter sleeps around?" "Isn't she just like you?" Marisol wasn't going to let anyone talk about her daughter negatively.

         Marisol leaned forward and slapped Mrs. Pendleton across the face. It wasn't long before the two were fighting one another. Mr. Pendleton and Nazir finally got control of the two ladies after multiple minutes of punches being blown at each other.

        "Don't you ever come back to my property and I mean it!" Mr. Pendleton yelled as Nicole pulled her mother to the backseat of the car and got in the driver's seat. Nicole thought she would drive everyone home, for safety reasons.
