Her Freed Spirit

Butterflies

Andre Harris' POV

I get dragged into the Man Cave. Shit Uncle Mike strong. Did he just throw me? Oh shit he did. Feeling the cushion of the couch underneath me, I realize he did. I watch as he paces back and forth. Jaden goes to the TV and starts watching SpongeBob. Jamal and Jeremiah sit next to me on the couch as in to block me in.

Uncle Mike stops pacing and looks at me hard. "I'm not ready for this! I thought I was but I'm not! This shit is stressful!" He says in a defeated tone.

"Ready for what?" I question.

"He's not ready for our baby girl to be dating." Jeremiah answers the question.

"Wait didn't she date Keith?" I ask.

"Oh fuck no! Whatever her and That asswipe has was not a relationship. Dummy over here talked her into" Jeremiah points to Jamal.

"How many times do I have to apologize for that. I made a mistake. My bad. But we aren't talking about me! We're talking about him dating Sophia." And with those words Jamal, throws the focus back on me.

"I want to kill him. I can't imagine my sweet pea dating." Uncle Mike says.

"Possibly getting her heart broken." Jeremiah adds.

"Having sex." Jamal says. And that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Every watched Animal planet and saw how a pack of lions surround an outsider to protect their family? That's what I'm looking at. Three black lions ready to kill me over Sophia.

"Fuck that!" They all yell out causing Jaden to shush them. He's too wrapped up in the TV to know his brothers and uncle cursed or I'm about to meet my final moments on earth. No one says nothing but you can hear Patrick being stupid in the background.

Jeremiah is the first to look at me. "She's our world. And we knew one day she would date and fall in love. But we never thought we would have to watch it first hand. We've watched you two for the last months and we know we can't stop it. But we never knew we would be so invested in it."

If I had a little sister and some dude said she cared for her, I would probably act the same way.

"That sorry ass excuse of a relationship she had with Keith ain't shit compared to what she feels for you. Have you seen the way her eyes shine when you enter a room? I won't lie, I wanted to kill you before it got this far." Jamal says with honesty.

I'm being threatened but what to know what I'm thinking about? If you said Sophia you guessed right. Her eyes light up when she sees me? She cares for me? Am I important to her? I feel a smack to the back of my head causing me to jump up.

"Who the hell just smacked me?" I hiss in pain.

"I did! Now what the hell you gonna do about it?" Uncle Mike stares me down.  See right then and there, I bitched out. I became a complete bitch at that very second. I'm not ready to die. He's been waiting for a reason to kill me. I'm convinced the SWAT didn't do mental checks before hiring him. I made the smart choice and sit down.

"'Mmmm that's what I though. Now look here you napped headed, low boy having boy. That girl upstairs is my Niece. She's more like a daughter to me and I love her. But I know you love her too and don't you even deny it. I can't stop her for growing up and I'm happy she is happy. Just know this, if you break her heart I will break your soul. If you make her cry I will remove your eyes. And don't even get me started on sex. Whatever you do to her I will find a 7 foot, 400 pound man named little Bubba to fuck you. So do you understand me Andre Leo Harris? Who lives at 8765 SouthWest Harbor lane with his two parents. Whose social security number is 675-65-9111. You had your wisdom teeth pulled last year and had a very bad reaction to the medicine used so you had to be hospitalized. You have a scar under your left arm where you ran into an iron fence at the age of 8. I know all about you and how to kill you if I need to. Keep that in mind while you're out with Sophia." This icy glaze shocks me. I don't care about him knowing my personal information, I'm more concerned about my life. Is Sophia even worth it? Of course she is.
