In The Shadow

Untitled Part 7

           

I've seen Marques around the house a couple of time with Janae I avoid him and stay in my room since I no longer has class and I'm off today I was in my room reading a book when I heard loud talk coming from the kitchen. I get off my bed and go toward the kitchen.

"I didn't want to do it in the first place"

"but I didn't ask you to sleep with and dump her either"

"you beg me to show her a good time and I did so now I'm done"

"what did you do anyway, first she was happy now she's always crying that was not part of the deal Jacob" I can't believe what I'm hearing.

"and you telling Lisa that I'm cheating on her was not part of the deal either"

"I got mad that you broke my sister's heart"

"how you know I break her heart she could be sad and crying over any other nigga"

"my sister is not a slut I'm pretty sure you the first man she ever been with"

"ha I guess you don't know that fat bitch at all"

"I will not stand here and let you talk about my sister any how" "I only ask you to show her a good time because I know she like you and she was stress"

"don't play innocent with me what kind off sister ask their best friend boyfriend to fuck their sister just so she would leave you alone" I couldn't stop the tears that was coming out my eyes.

"I ask you because I care about her"

"what about your friend you didn't care about her" I couldn't stay behind the door any longer so I walk in the kitchen.

"wow sis nice way to show you care about me" I say trying not to cry.

"Madison what are you doing here I thought you were at work"

"last time I check I still leave here" "Jacob I should have known this was too good to be true you never say nothing more than hi to me before I should have known you asking me out was nothing but a game and to know that it was all plan by my own sister hurt even more" he didn't say anything he just look at me.

"I'm sorry Maddie I just wanted you to be happy" she says walking toward me.

"don't make me laugh happy, you wanted me to be happy with your best friend boyfriend" lisa anf Mellissa has been friend since freshman year and lisa and I were never cool actually, she hated my guts.

"please Maddie you have to understand me you were stress and wanted to help"

"and asking a guy to sleep with me was your way of help" I look at both of them shake my head and walk out the kitchen.

I couldn't cope with what happened it seems like my life was upside down because I let the urge of being love got in my way. Melissa and I barely talk I stay away from her. Nobody in the house knows what happened at least that's what I think.

I was seating in the parking lot of the building waiting for Janice to pick me up from work when a car pull up in front of me. two people walk out and one of them I recognize. Before I could say anything, I felt a sharp pain across my cheeks.

"what the fuck" I say holding my face in my hand.

"so, your fat ass thinks you can fuck my boyfriend and not get your ass whoop" she launches at me again this time both her and the other girl was pulling me by my hair. I was trying to fight back but I was getting weak. I got into many fight in high school and I always get my ass whoop if my sisters are not around.

"you stupid bitch it was not enough you fuck your sister's boyfriend you got to fuck mines too" I don't know what happened but I heard Janice voice.

"what the fuck" then I saw her pull the other girl and start throwing punches. It was late at night so nobody in the parking lot to witness this except for mike one of the security guards.

"break that shit off" he yields while pulling lisa me I was on the floor in a fetal position.
Get the fuck out of here before I call the police" he says.

"this ain't over bitch" lisa say as she and her accomplice get in their car.

"Madison are you ok" Mike ask as he help me of the floor. I touch my lips that was burning hot and look at my hand to see blood. My lips and cheeks felt like it was the size of a water melon. I didn't realize the cut in my face until I look in the car mirror.

"What was that about? why lisa and her friends was fighting you" she asks me when we get in the car

"Jacob"

"why would they fight you for Jacob"

"that's her boyfriend"

"that still doesn't explain why" I look at her "no he can't be" I didn't answer he I just cry.

"lord no Madison why would you, this girl is crazy" I didn't know what to say to her. I guess she realize I didn't want to talk about this. We ride home in silence. When I arrive home, thing was going to get even worst.

"you stupid conniving back stabbing bitch how could you" she says walking toward me but mom step in front of her.

"now we going to talk about this like a family" mom say and she looks at my face and my now dirty uniform and frown.

"what happened to you" she asks.

"I got into a fight with a customer"

"baby why you didn't call us look at your face" she says pulling me into a hug.

"I don't give two fuck what happened to her ugly ass I'm still going to kill her"

"Janae watch your mouth before I smack you" mom say.

"no mom you need to talk to her ass acting all innocent and shit but going around sleeping with my boyfriend"

"Janae stop it right now"

"you always protecting her like she your child mom" she says.

"she is my child you all are" Melissa was looking at me with red and puffy eyes and I know she know what happened at my job.

"don't you think it would be better to ask your so call boyfriend what happened between him and I" I say to Janae and she ran past mom and jump on me.

"I'm going to kill you"

"stop it Janae" mom and Janice pull her off me.

"sleep with an eye open tonight" she walks pass me and out the house.

"now baby I know this is the wrong time but is it true what they saying" mom ask me I look up at her with shame.

"yes mom, it is true something did happened between Marques and I but that was before he started talking to Janae and I didn't know Jacob had a girlfriend and yes go ahead and judge me but none of you would know how it feels to leave in the shadow of everyone around you" I was in tears. "to get betrayed by you own sister and call out your name and bullied all your life, I'm sick and tired of all this all of this" mom was trying to hug me again but I walk away from her.

If only they knew what happened between Marques and me. I hate myself for it, for letting him do that to me. I walk in my room and go through my bag and pull out the thing of sleeping pills. I look at it then opens it and poor all of them in my hand. I cry looking at the pills thinking that if I drink them I could put an end to all my pains and misery. 

"Maddie baby you can't stay in your room all night we have to go get that cut on your face stich at the hospital" mom yield from the other side of the door I touch my face and it sting it was a big cut. Drinking the pills will be the best for everyone.
