Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 1

Valentino 38

"See I've been doing a lot of thinking since someone.... since Montez shot up this house and I remembered something from the last time I was at the house, dad's M4 was out of the case and sitting on y'alls bed. I didn't think too much of it because I figured that Montez had taken it out to clean it but then I found a shell casing outside and it came from an M4.... you know me, Vince and Dad used to go the range all the time, I can tell you any and everything about guns so my question to you is why are you staying with someone who's trying to kill your brother? Your youngest brother? You can't possibly love that nigga so much that you would really stay with him knowing he wants me dead....." I said looking in my sister's eyes. Victoria took a deep breath and started walking around my room, I remember when I was little whenever Victoria would get caught doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing she would pacing around biting her thumb; like she was doing right now.

"Valentino he wasn't trying to kill you.... he was trying to scare you, Montez was upset that you and that other little hood-booger Carson or whatever his name is jumped him. You can't blame him for striking back, he ensured me that he wasn't going to hurt you and seeing as how you're standing right here proves he kept his word." Victoria said and I swear I've never wanted to hit a female so badly in my life.

"Get out man me and you don't have anything to say to each other..... once you get rid of that bitch ass nigga MAYBE we can start to rebuild our relationship, but considering how weak you are I seriously doubt it." I said pulling out my phone while Victoria stood there with tears streaming down her face. "BYE!!!" I said causing her to walk out the room but at this point, I was over her, the way I see it she'll need me before I need her. I decided to call my big brother Vince and let him know everything that was going on because if I didn't he'd probably beat my ass.

"This better be important I was about three seconds away from fuckin my girl." Vince said and I smiled because no matter what he was doing he always made time for me.

"If you are busy I'll call you back." I said starting to hang but Vince stopped me.

"Valentino you called me because something is bothering you, so either tell me what's going on or I'll fly out there and beat the truth out of you." Vince said and I shook my head, this nigga was always threatening me knowing damn well he wasn't going to do shyt. I told everything that happened and all I got from his was 'aight' before he hung up the phone. I started to call Jasmine but she was probably working so I walked downstairs and sat next to Jace. "What's been up with you bro? You've been too quiet since that nigga Tay showed up, don't tell me you got a crush." I said laughing.

"Please no nigga has the power to keep Jace quiet, I'm just storing my energy for my boo this weekend; so the reason I've been so quiet is because I've been focusing my ki and chakra or else I'm not going to be able to take all twelve inches." Jace said, I stood up and took my ass upstairs because sometimes Jace was a little too extra but that was my little bro. I got to my room and sent Jasmine a text telling her I was going to sleep before getting in bed and drifting off to a dreamless sleep......

"VALENTINO WAKE YO ASS UP NIGGA!!!!!" Someone said waking me up from my sleep and when my vision came into to focus my big brother Vince was standing over me wearing some sweats and a beater, oh shyt...... see I should've just kept my mouth shut because there wasn't a doubt in my mind why he was here. "Nigga it's two in the afternoon and you're still in bed, get your ass up because we got somewhere to be.... you got three minutes." Vince said walking out my room. Two and a half minutes later I was walking out the house with Carter and Dejon who was acting as our babysitter as he got in Vince's rental and pulled off.

"You know you didn't have to fly back here right?" I asked my big brother. "We had everything taken care of and besides I don't have any solid proof that Montez was the one who shot up the house." I said and I could see every vein in Vince's forehead, letting me know there was no reasoning with him. We pulled up to my old house and Victoria rushed out the door trying to block it.

"Vince y'all really need to leave, I'm not trying to have this drama at MY house...... I really don't wanna call the police on you because you have a really bright future playing baseball and I don't want you to ruin that over nothing." Victoria said blocking the door. "And Montez isn't even here." She added but him stick his head out the window instantly revealed her lie.

"Vicky move out the way, I just wanna talk to your 'man' really quick." Vince said but Victoria wasn't a complete idiot. "I'm serious Vic, move or I'll move you.... this nigga could've killed our brother and your defending him and the fact that he sent you out here instead of facing me like a man shows how much of a bitch he really is." Vince said.

"Valentino why are you always causing trouble? This is exactly why I didn't want you to move in because you run your mouth too much." Victoria said looking at me.

"BITCH WASN'T YOU JUST AT THE HOUSE YESTERDAY ASKING ME TO MOVE BACK IN?!?!?!?" I yelled moving towards her but Carter grabbed me and pulled me back. "SEE THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DON'T FUCK WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE PICKING THIS NIGGA OVER YOUR FAM....." The door opened and Montez stepped out before he could even consider saying something smart Vince was beating the fuck out him while Carter and Dejon stepped in front of Victoria. I saw Montez starting to get the best of Vince that's when I decided to jump in............

After that a lot of shyt happened; the police showed up; Vince told Dejon to get me and Carter out of there and as we were pulling off we saw Vince and Montez getting arrested. When we got back to the house I was trying to scrape together some money to bail my brother out of jail, when Dejon walked into my room.

"I should've just kept quiet, I know how my brother is and I should've known he was going to fly out here..... now he's in jail because of me." I said throwing some stuff into a bag that I was about to pawn.

"Here......" Dejon said handing me a large stack of money and the first thing that came to my mind was where did he get this from, but I could worry about that later right now getting my big bro outta jail took precedence. Dejon took me down to the courthouse to try and get Vince outta jail and of course, Victoria was there most likely trying to get Montez's bitch ass out. Honestly, I didn't even know why he got arrest and truthfully I didn't care.........

"They aren't pressing charges on Vince.... he should be out pretty soon." Victoria said walking over to me and stood there as if she was invisible because in my eyes my sister no longer existed. "Valentino, please you're being childish by ignoring me..... all I want is for us to be a family and that can't happen until y'all start respecting Montez."

"Valentino let's go......." Vince said walking out from the back, he looked at Victoria and shook his head in disgust. "I hope the dick was worth losing your brothers......." Vince said putting his hand on my shoulder and almost dragging me out of the building. We got out to his rental and I could tell he was feeling murderous..... "I'm considering staying here for a while, college can wait." Vince said pulling off.

"Nah man you can't do that..... we've talked about this you playing baseball is our way out of this fucked up situation we're in now, I'm not going to let you give up on your dreams because of that bitch." I said seriously.

"I just feel bad for leaving you..... especially with that nigga Montez shooting up your spot and sending his fam to jump you. If something were to happen to you, I don't know what I would do......" Vince said quietly.

"I won't let anything happen to Valentino..... you have my word on that, I look at him and everybody that lives with us as my family and I'll always have his back." Dejon said and Vince nodded.

"Aight well I'm going to stay here for the rest of the week.... baseball season doesn't start until February anyway so I'm not missing much........" Vince said and in the pit of my stomach something was telling me that him staying here was a bad idea but I also knew there was nothing I could say that would change his mind, I just hope that nothing happens in the week that he's here because if it did......................................
