Watching from the Sidelines

Chapter 3

"I'm telling you something is seriously wrong with that damn girl", Raven said to Nadia over the phone.

"I swear! He cheated on you, okay, on to the next. Don't let him or that bitch know you hurting, cause they didn't give a fuck about her when they was fucking, so what makes her think he would care now?" Nadia replied agreeing.

"She looked like she was about to beg this niggah to let her back in his house! Hell, she probably did after I left".

"I wouldn't have even went to his house, that's the shit that gets me. Her stupid ass could have went to jail! I'm telling you right now, I ain't never going to jail over no niggah. I doubt he would go to jail for her".

"True, I'm betting she forgot all about picking her mama up from work".

"I hope not, you know she gone get her ass kicked".

"Speaking of that, Mrs. Bryant smacked the fuck out of her today!"

"What the fuck! For what?"

"They was arguing cause Bri was late, and she had to run laps, but I was even later and I didn't have to do shit".

"What did Bri do after she slapped her?"

"The same thing me, you, and any other bitch would have done, beat her ass. When I say no one, I mean no one went to pull Bri off her ass! Guess what happened after that though".

"What?"

"Ashleigh started talking out the side of her neck, so Bri was bout to tap that ass too. I got in the middle of them to break it up, but the bitch had to nerve to sneak me in the back of my head".

"I know you beat her ass!"

"Nope, because before I even thought about swinging, Bri was already on her".

"Damn, my girl done been through some shit today".

"Three fights in one day, that's too many for me! I need to call and check on her, I'll hit you back!"

"Alright, bye", Nadia said hanging up.

Raven called Brianna, and she answered on the first ring.

"How you gone leave me like that?"

"I told yo-, hold on, before I even get into that with you, go pick your mama up from work".

"I'm not worried about her right now, what I'm worried about is how you supposed to be like my fucking sister, and you gone leave me by myself".

"What the fuck else was I supposed to do, huh?! Sit by and watch you degrade your fucking self! You wasn't even listening to me, I tried to make you leave, but no, you just had to prove you didn't cheat on him, when he the one that cheated on your dumbass! If you expected me to sit by and wait until you came to your fucking senses, you got life fucked up. That meant I would've have been there begging your ass to leave all day!"

"I didn't want him to think I was a ho!"

"Does it matter what he thinks? He cheated on you, not the other way around! Did you hear him apologize for cheating on you?"

"No".

"Because he doesn't care!" Raven yelled, "You know what, I have to go, I was just calling to check on you. I hope you get your shit together", she said ending the call.

Brianna took in all Raven's advice, and went to pick her mom up from work. When she got into the car her phone started ringing, and it was her mother.

"Hello?"

"Brianna, where the hell are you?"

"I'm on my way ma!"

"The police are looking for you at my damn job! What the hell you did? You want me to get fired?"

"What?" Brianna asked confused. She thought for a minute and realized what was going on.

"Ma I got into it with Ms. Bryant, I'll explain everything when I get there".

When she got to her mother's job, there were two police cars there.

"Brianna what is going on?" her mother asked as soon as she saw the truck pull up.

"Long story short, she slapped me, and I hit her back. It was simply self- defense".

"She slapped you?" her mom asked looking pissed.

Before Brianna could reply, one of the policemen was putting her in handcuffs.

"Ma you can't let them take me to jail! I didn't do nothing!" Brianna cried as she was being told her rights.

"Brianna stop yelling", her mom whispered loudly, "I don't need all of these people in my damn business. I will see if I can leave now, but if not, you will have to wait until I get off. Where are my truck keys?"

"They're in the truck", she said before she was put into the police car.
