Me Alone

Part 4 (Revenge)

It's like the world had stopped as Tanya and her raper's eyes met! The room became silent, her heart started pounding "boom, boom" as sweat came to her brows.

"Good morning!" The mother said, as she cleared her throat in an effort to cut the awkwardness. Tanya adjusted her glasses to her face and wiped her brows as she pulled herself together.

"Good morning to you as well!" She replied with a smile as fake as the Grinch's.

She welcomed them and their child as she will now be a student in her class, all the while giving the dad the side eyes every now and then to see all his details from his Mohawk hair cut, to the scar over his left eyebrow, his bowed legs, a gold tooth and his wedding ring. She quickly realized he was the raper who spat in her face that horrible night 7 months ago. He didn't recognize who she was as he conversed with her about his child and expectations for the new school term. Tanya didn't flinch and remain professional until it was there time to leave but before doing so, they each left their cellphone numbers with her in case of an emergency.

Tanya watched the family of three leave the classroom with a heavy heart, it was like a dark cloud had came over her, wild thoughts ran through her mind as she thought to herself

"Dis man really just step inna mi class with a fricking family and wedding ring?! Me ago f*ck him up!"

She slid over in her chair to the window to see them leave, she watched them entered the same red car the rapers made their escape in, her mouth dropped, if there were any doubts in her mind, this was the confirmation she needed.

Outside, the wife nudged the dad,

"A wah dat awhile ago Buckley?" She asked.

"Mi nuh know eno, but every minute me and har eye mek four, she look familiar tho, but cyaa remember weh mi know har from" He replied.

The wife responded "She better tek har eye off you cause my mad head will chip!"

They laughed as they entered the red car and drove off.

Tanya spun around in her chair as she looked at her desk to see the cellphone numbers for Buckley and Gina attached with their address.

Later that evening, while showering at home and thinking about what had happened earlier, Tanya received a phone call, it was Oneil, letting her know he won't be coming home tonight because his boss had asked him to double up on his shift for a special project, she responded positively as this would mean more money for them.

8:45 PM. Tanya took the paper out of her bag with the address and phone number, she stared at it with the most disgusting look on her face while grinding her teeth, she walked over to Oneil's night stand and pulled out the drawer, it was his licensed 9mm pistol.
