Watching from the Sidelines

Chapter 14

"Ma, somebody's at the door!" Brianna yelled from the bathroom.

"Go see who it is!" her mom yelled back.

"Ma, I'm about to get in the shower", Brianna replied.

Her mom got out of her bed, and walked up the hall to answer the door.

Whoever was at the door began to knock again, but harder.

"Hold on!" she yelled opening the door.

"Why in the hell you knocking on my door like something wrong with you?" she asked Ced.

"I'm sorry, I- "

"Ma, who is it!" Brianna yelled.

"It's Cedric", she told Brianna, "Did you call her and ask her if you can come over?" She asked Ced.

"No ma'am, she's not taking my calls right now. I wanted to talk face to face to find out why", he replied.

"I got it ma", Brianna said walking past her mother and outside of the door.

Her mother closed the door, and went back to her room.

"What?" Brianna asked.

"Baby, I'm sorry", he said pulling her to him.

"Whatever", she said pushing him back.

"Yo, for real though, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just joking around", he said.

"You think I'm mad just because you dissed me at breakfast? I guess this really has been going on for too long", she paused before saying, "You're a jerk. You're arrogant, inconsiderate, and selfish. You don't care about me, because you only care about yourself. I'm tired of getting played", she said getting loud.

"Aye, you better chill the fuck out. You not about to talk to me any kind of way", he said getting closer.

"How about I not talk to your ass, period?" she said walking into her house and slamming the door.
