Can I Trust You?

26// Danger is Always Around the Corner

"Ok. First you hit my boyfriend then you have the nerve to punch your own wife? How pathetic are you?!" Jade yelled at Thomas.

"You really wanna know?" He stepped up to her. Jade struggled to step back in her crutches.

"Stay, away from me!"

He took her crutches and threw them at the the TV. The TV fell over and glass went everywhere.

Jade was about to fall until he made her fall. He punched her in her right eye and she fell on the coffee table.

Good thing it wasn't a glass table cause she would've been cut up really bad.

"OH HELL NAH MAN!!" I got wiping the blood on my shirt.

"Emma! Go outside and knock on someone's door and tell them to call 911!"

"Ok!" She got up quick and kissed her mom on the forehead.

She was running to the door and Thomas blocked it.

"Come here lil bitch!" He pointed.

"Leave me, ALONE!!" She screamed.

I didn't hesitate one moment. I lunged forwards and punched his guts.

"EMMA, GO NOW!!" I yelled at her and she ran out the door leaving it open.

I continuously punched him in the face. I felt strong, masculine arms come pull me up a while after my boxing match.

"My God. It's ok now I'm sure he's unconscious right now. I've called the police already." A white neighbor told me. He looked like he was in his mid late 20s but pretty buff.

"Thank you sir." I shook his hand. I winced in pain and looked down at my fist.

"Aww man that sucks. Do you mind if I go get my first aid kit?" He observed my hand.

"I have one in that cabinet over there." I pointed to the kitchen. He went searching in different cabinets and came back with the container.

He wrapped my hand up and we went outside waiting for the police.

"So what happened here?"

"My girlfriend and I called our lawyer because she was injured and my lawyers' sorry husband came over and started punching everyone. My girlfriend has a broken leg from her past accident. That little girl that came to your house, that's their daughter, Emma." I directed to a woman coming over with Emma.

"Emma told me what happened sir. I'm so sorry." A fair skinned woman brought Emma to me. I gave her a big hug and held onto her.

Sirens went off and two police cars and three ambulances pulled up. Me, Emma, and the neighbors ran into the house with them.

Before they put Jade on the ambulance truck, I grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"What happened here, Mr. Henderson." The police officer asked me. I'm a well known basketball player. Everyone in town knows me.

"Me and my girlfriend called our lawyer because of what happened at the game the other night. I'm sure you've heard." I explained. He nodded and both officers wrote on their notepads.

I tell them the dreadfully long essay of what happened and they sighed in relief.

"And he was the guy that got put into the last ambulance truck right?" They asked.

"Yes sir." I nodded.

"Ok Mr. Henderson. We're sorry about what happened here tonight. We'll immediately start making a police report as soon as we make it back to the station since you're the best player in LA." I chuckled with the officer.
