A Furious Chick

Howard Fights

Katherine

I'm the last to arrive for dinner. My mother had gathered the team to celebrate my engagement. The team greets me with hugs and kisses. Kaleb is drunk as shit.

"Let me see that ring." Mother was excited.

I showed her.

"Oh, dear Lord. It's beautiful." She smiled. "Brian, you did good."

"Thank you, Mrs. Howard."

We began to eat. We all talked about the wedding, Brian confessed he wants to make me his bride as soon as possible. I smiled at him from across the table. My mother and Brian engaged in a conversation about good colors for the wedding. I reached over to grab the wine that was next to Kaleb and accidentally knocked his glass of water all over him.

"You fucking bitch!" He screamed.

I frowned, the table getting quiet.

"Relax, it's water." I held up my hand to him.

"You're an idiot! Fuck!" He hissed.

"Kaleb, watch your fucking mouth."

"Kaleb, honey-" Mom began.

"NO!" Kaleb shouted at her. He was obviously hammered.

I stood, the chair falling to the ground.

"You will not use that tone with her, you prick." I snapped.

"And what the fuck are you going to do?" He stood, too, his face inches from mine.

"Kaleb, you're drunk, go upstairs and sleep it off." I pointed to the staircase.

"And if I dont?" His voice got quiet.

"I will make you go upstairs." I threatened.

"Guys." Brian stood, too.

"Sit down." Mother ordered him.

"They're about to kill each other." He argued.

"The problem is, they're too strong personalities, dear." Mother sipped her wine. "That is the root of all this rage towards one another. Since they were sixteen, it's been this competition...Who's better? Who's faster? Who's smarter? So we are going to see right fucking now because I'm getting tired of hearing it. Let it out, children and be done with it."

"You heard her." I smiled. "Hit me."

"Too easy. Katherine, you think you're so amazing. You're nothing!"

"I am better than you." I take off my earrings and my ring and place it on the table. "Everyone knows it! I can kick your ass and do my nails at the same time."

Kaleb laughed. "You weren't this courageous when it was...what's his name... Ryan was it?"

"Kaleb, shut up." I felt my rage spiked.

"He kicked your ass everyday for a year and what did you do? You did nothing because you're a coward."

"Kaleb!" Letty frowned.

"He beat you so hard, he broke your arm and fractured your collar bone." Kaleb laughed again.

"I am warning you." I turned away from him.

"Then it was Richard. He slept with everything that had two functioning legs and you still stayed." Kaleb continued. "Then Lance who didn't love you at all. You were just a sex fling."

I felt my stomach turning in heat.

"Now, Brian. How long before you ruin that, too?" Kaleb was serious. "Let's face it. You ruin everything, Katherine."

I punched him in the jaw. He didn't seem shocked. My fist hurt but I didn't care. It was going down.

"Kaleb, she's your sister." Dom reminded him.

Kaleb ignored him and grabbed me by the neck and smashed me into a wall, punching me in the stomach a few times. Wind was knocked from me. He backed away and grabbed the wine bottle, drinking some.

"Come on. You fucking pussy!" He encouraged. "COME ON!"

I charged at him, knocking him to the floor. I punched him endless times in the face, breaking skin. He pushed me off of him. He grabbed the back of my head and smashed my face into the table twice, blood gushing from my nose.

"You are a disappoinment." Kaleb hissed, throwing me to the floor.

I laid there for a moment before getting up. I grabbed the wine bottle and smashed it on his head. I smacked my face into his and kicked him in the face. He fell on the floor. I kicked him in the side, in the stomach, in the face. I hate him! I fucking hate him so much. I grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him.

"I am better than you." I told him as I punched him in his already bloody face. "I am faster than you!"

I grabbed him by neck and used all of my strength to lift him. I slammed him on the floor, on his back. He coughed. I got on top of him and wrapped my fingers around his neck. He was too weak but he tried to pry my fingers off.

"Katherine, enough!" Brian shouted. "You're going to kill him!"

I stopped. I stand.

"You're my brother, you fuck! Not my enemy!" I shouted at him.

I stormed into the kitchen and grabbed an ice pack and a wet a cloth. I walked back into the dining room. I grabbed him once more and helped him into his chair. He was coughing.

I wiped his face free of blood and handed him the ice pack. I then wipe my own face and sit back down.

"End your fuckery or you will no longer matter to me. I promise." I told him.

I placed my ring back on my finger and went back to eating.
