--Guilia Parris--
During the middle of second period there was an uproar in the hallway a few doors down from my class.
Everyone was already heading toward the door, crowding it as chants echoed through the hall. Obviously, there was a fight happening.
I squeezed my way through the thick crowd of students to get a better view of what was going on.
I observed at the disgruntled looks on the faces of the female teachers as they tried their best, but failed to break up the fight.
To my surprise, it was an enraged and bloody-lipped Krystopher sitting on top of an already knocked out Vincent, still sending blows to his face.
"Krys, stop!" I yelled, trying to make my way over to them, but was held back by a teacher.
Two male teachers shoved their way into the crowd and had to work with one another to pull Krystopher off of Vincent.
He was obviously being taken to the office while two other male teachers ushered everyone back into their classes.
I inwardly groaned as I began to cry out of frustration.
I knew that Krys fought Vincent for me and I knew that it was only a matter of time before Mom and Dad got here.
Not only would we be getting in trouble, Mom and Dad are going to find out about me being raped and I didn't want them to know about it in the first place.
I thought I told Krys that I was fine. Sometimes, I forgot how much he could be like Daddy. He always had to avenge some shit. He couldn't just let it go.
If they were presidents and other presidents of other countries crossed them wrong, they'll remain silent and attack when least expected, starting a war the other country never saw coming and wipe out it's entire population before they even have a chance to react.
I yanked my arm away from the teacher's and pushed my way through the crowd and toward the bathroom.
Locking myself in a stall, I sat on the toilet with my elbows on my knees and my chin on my palms.
I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel good about Vincent getting his ass whooped. I just wish that Krys would've waited until after school.
Now, we're both in for some deep shit when our parents find out.
Sighing, I allowed silent tears to cascade down my cheeks.
°•°•°•
"Suspension?!" Mom exclaimed at Krys as soon as we all met around the dining room table.
"Listen Mom, I'm sorry." He shrugged.
Luckily, Krys lied and told the principal that our parents were out of state, so he called Gran-Gran instead.
"Three weeks suspension and all you could do is shrug your fucking shoulders?!" Dad hopped on the yelling wagon. "What the fuck were you fighting for in the first place?!" Dad continued.
"It's not serious." Krys shrugged again, causing me to groan on the inside. His nonchalance wasn't going to sit well with Dad.
"It better be serious enough for your lil' ass to be suspended!" He boomed at Krys. "Who's the little motherfucker you been fighting with anyway?!"
"Vincent." Krys narrowed his eyes at Dad as Mom shook her head.
"Ain't that the little motherfucker I told your ass to stay away from?" Dad refocused his attention on me.
"Yes Daddy." I nodded. I was shaking in my seat.
"What the fuck you and him were fighting for?" Daddy asked Krys.
"I told you, it's nothing, Pops."
"Lia, what was your brother fighting your little boyfriend over?" He asked, causing me to attempt swallowing the lump forming in my throat. "Answer me, little girl!" I knew that Daddy was getting frustrated.
"Leave her out of it, Dad. She has nothing to do with it." Krys tried to defend me.
"Am I fucking talking to you?" He spat at Krys.
"No sir."
"Geo, you don't need to curse at my babies!" Mom intervened.
"Well, your fucking babies better start talking." He retorted.
"Watch how the fuck you talk to me, Geovanni." Mom gritted. "I am not one of the little whores you used to fuck."
"Nah, you the only one I fuck now." He said, obviously not thinking first, causing us all to gasp.
Out of nowhere, Mom slapped him.
"I should've known better than to come back to your ass!" She growled at him.
"Julliet, I'm sorry." Dad quickly apologized.
"No Geo, fuck your sorry!" She yelled. "Everytime you're upset you talk to me like you're fucking crazy or some shit and you always come back talking 'bout you gon' do better." She scowled. "You're the same motherfucker I left!"
For the first time, Dad was quiet as someone yelled at him. I could really see in his eyes that he regretted that.
"Julliet..." He grabbed her hand, but she snatched away and stormed up the stairs.
He sighed and shook his head as he looked between Krys and I. "I'm sorry y'all had to see that." He huffed. "You're both grounded by the way." He went on with his voice at a lower than usual tone. "When I come back, I need to see your electronics on the table and your keys. You don't leave this house without me knowing." He instructed before going up the stairs behind Mom.
I couldn't believe that this was all happening because of me.
--Geovanni Parris--
"Julliet, please don't leave." I begged as she threw things into a duffle bag she had on the bed.
"You disrespected me infront of our children, Geo." She gritted. "I could do so much fucking better than you." She snarled. "But I always find my stupid ass back here, riding and sucking your dick." She angrily threw more stuff into the bag.
"Jules..." I trailed, grabbing at her hands.
"Get the fuck off me." She gritted again as she tried to snatch away from me.
"Jules, I'm sorry." I repeated. "I didn't mean that." I continued as she narrowed her eyes at me. I pulled her into me and kissed on her neck. "Jules..."
"Get the fuck off me!" She pushed me away. "You can't always fuck me senseless enough to stay." She shook her head as she grabbed the bag off the bed.
"Jules, come on, man." I begged as I grabbed the bag, causing her to grip it tightly as we both yanked it.
"Let go of my shit, Geo." She growled.
"I can't let you walk away from me again." I could feel myself about to cry. "Julliet, please."
