Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 1

Carter 76

These niggas were a bunch of pussies, all five of them; Dejon, Tay, Valentino, Romeraux and Ronnie... why couldn't they let me go handle that shyt with my uncle? They were doing all that preaching and hollering about how I needed to deal with my 'issues' and the second I try to do that they wanna lock me in my room like a fucking child. I had been stuck in my room since Friday night and it was now Sunday, I really hoped they didn't think I was going to stay in here today because I still had to meet up with Bianca's family and after my conversation with Black I really wanted to go. I don't know what it was about Black but he just had a way of making me see things that other people couldn't, maybe it something to do with the fact that he didn't treat me with kid gloves or maybe it had something to do with the conversation that me and Ronnie had about talking with different people about my problems and since Black really didn't have an opinion of me one way or the other talking to him about Ronnie was sorta.... therapeutic. I laid across my bed thinking about ways to escape when Valentino walked in and sat on the bed next to me.... blame him for all of this, if he hadn't been listening to my conversation I probably could've got away.

"Nigga, you think I give a fuck about you having an attitude? I told you, Carter, you do stupid shyt and as your best friend, it's my responsibility to stop you whenever I think you're going overboard. So you can be mad now but in a few months you're going to be thanking me." Valentino said and I started to wonder if I could punch him and make it out the house before anyone noticed. "Don't even think about it.... Dejon already dropped you with a single body shot and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep you here."

"So what about dinner? I already told Bianca that I would be over there and weren't you just telling me that I need to be there for my child? I think it'll be a pretty shitty thing for you to keep me here and not give me the chance to interact with my child's grandparents."

"See we all discussed that and you're right you should definitely go to dinner tonight, which is why Ms. Gina has volunteered to go with you and we both know that she's the last person you'd be stupid enough to try." Valentino said smirking and I was pissed.

"I DON'T GET A SAY IN THE MATTER?!?!!? IT'S MY KID AND I DON'T NEED A DAMN BABYSITTER!!!!" I said jumping up and Valentino started laughing.

"Nah you don't, I love you like a brother Carter and I can read you like a book.... the first chance you get to skirt out you will and your uncle as already proven that he doesn't give a fuck about anything, I mean you seen what he did to his own son now imagine what he'll do to you." Valentino said shaking his head. "I'm about to go eat... and you know you don't have to stay in your room right? You can come out and socialize." Valentino said getting up and walking out my room. I sat in my room steaming for about an hour before I walked downstairs where everyone was watching me closely.

"Don't y'all niggas got something better besides watching me? Ronnie, shouldn't you be sucking or riding Antwan right about now? What about you Dejon, shouldn't you be arguing with that crazy bitch you've been dating? Jace, there's no telling who you got lined up for today and Tay....." I started to say but Jace cut me off.

"Unh uh we're not going to do this today Carter.... I didn't do shyt to you so leave me outta of it. Now if you wanna come for them by all means, you know I live for that shyt but I'll slap the fuck outta you for coming for me." Jace said jumping up but Tay pulled Jace into his lap.

"Chill out Jace, he's trying to get a reaction out of us.... I'm not going to feed into his anger. He's pissed right now but he'll get over it once he gets his way...... you know Jace your hands are kinda cold here." Tay said grabbing Jace's hands and placing him inside his shorts. "Better?" Tay asked smiling and I rolled my eyes.

"Carter we're only doing this because we don't want anything to happen to you." Dejon said and I ignored him, I walked into the kitchen and started making me something to eat. I was close.... I didn't want to hear how much these niggas cared about me because it was already hard enough for me to face my uncle without them making me feel guilty about wanting to do it. I heard someone walk in behind and when I turned around Ronnie was standing there nervously.

"What you coming in here to check me?" I asked tossing the spoon in the sink, I looked at Ronnie again and then he surprised the hell outta me, he walked over to me and pulled me into a tight hug. "What was that for?" I asked looking into his eyes.

"Because I can tell you're hurting and I don't like seeing you like this......" Ronnie said quietly. "I'm just trying to make sure you know somebody is here for you."

"Yeah.... I'm going through it, but you know sex always makes me feel better. Come on Antwan doesn't have to know." I said smiling and Ronnie pushed off of me and walked away. Honestly, that turned my whole mood around because I could see it in his eyes he was close to giving in and once that happened.......

Later that night me and Ms. Gina pulled up to Bianca's house and I'm started to get nervous, I haven't seen her since she got out the hospital and I just knew I would probably get cussed out. We got out the car and Ms. Gina fixed my tie.... don't ask me why I had on a tie, Ms. Gina wouldn't let me leave the house without one; before we got to the door, Bianca's dad opened the door and I took a small step back this nigga was too damn big and her mom wasn't anything but five-five so as we stepped inside I wondered how they had sex with him breaking her in half.

"Wassup Carter." Her dad said smiling warmly as his large hand engulfed mine...... no lie this niggas fingers were longer and thicker than my dick. "Bianca's upstairs but she'll be down in a minute.... let's talk." He said as Ms. Gina left me alone with this monster. "Relax man you don't gotta be nervous."

"I'm not nervous, I'm hungry......" I said honestly and he let out a loud laugh that shook the whole damn house. "So..... how's the baby doing?" I asked looking around the spotless living room.

"Fine, Bianca is tough like her mom.... my main concern is you right now. Have you been sleeping?" He asked and I shrugged. "Come on Carter you know if you've been sleeping or not." He said and I nodded. "Nah you're lying.... I know when I got my wife pregnant I couldn't sleep for weeks. I had so much going on; losing my parents, I had a kid on the way, school.... it felt like my whole world was coming to an end, so I have a pretty good idea about what you're going through." He said.

"Nah you don't know the half of it......" I said just as Bianca walked into the living room with Ms. Gina and her mom. Her dad, Bryan looked like he wanted to say something else but instead opted to lead us into the dining room; the table looked like it was Thanksgiving all over again.... but then I looked at Bryan and realized he could probably eat all of this in one sitting, there was no reason for someone to be that damn muscular. Throughout dinner mainly Ms. Gina, Bryan and Bianca's mom talked about everything while me and Bianca sat there awkwardly...... I couldn't keep my eyes off of her stomach knowing that there was a little thing in there that was half me and that shyt was scary as fuck.

"Ayy your phone is ringing...." Bryan said and I got up from the table and walked into the living room. Ms. Gina watched me like a hawk and I knew if I tried to leave I probably wouldn't get very far before Bryan caught me.

"You left me hanging Carter......" My uncle said in mock disappointment and I felt myself getting pissed. "But I'm willing to let that slide, for real though me and you need to talk because there are some things that I need to get off my chest that I can only do in person, face to face like men." He said and my hands began to shake, was he going to admit to killing my parents? So many things went through my head at that moment that I knew that I had to come up with a foolproof way of meeting up with him.

"This is my last week in House Three before the switch, once I get to House Two I won't have everybody watching me.... we can meet then." I said quietly and I could feel his smile coming through the phone. For the next week I was going to have to convince everybody that I was over this suicide mission so when I did finally decide to go meet up with my uncle, nobody would suspect what I was truly planning to do...........................
