-Jasmine-
I sat on the couch, in the den, getting yelled at, for something that I was pushed to do. Trust me, I wasn't planning on fighting Casey, but because she kept fucking with me, it just happened, and no, I don't regret shit.
My mother wasn't home yet, she was out buying groceries for the house, so I was left to get yelled at by Mr. Military man, great. As Jovian was yelling at me, I kinda tuned him out 'cause I honestly didn't give a flying shit.
Jovian kept yelling at me until my mother walked into the house. Her face held nothing but confusion, "What's going on?"
I stood up to answer my mothers question, but Jovian answered for me, and it was nothing compared to what I was about to say. "Your dumb ass daughter got into a fight on her first day,"
"I'm not dumb," I yelled, looking at him like he had shit on his head, "and you don't know what happened so why are you even saying stuff when you don't know the story,"
Jovian got into my face, I mean actually got into my face. "You are dumb, your a dumb ass little girl. I don't need to hear the story to know that you started shit because your always starting shit."
I looked at my mother, she looked as if she was agreeing with him, my mother just stood there and let this man disrespect me, "You don't know nothing about me, for the two years you've been here I've never started anything with you so what you saying to me right now is complete bullshit."
My mother stepped in after what I said, and I expected her to be on my side, but she wasn't and I couldn't believe it, my mother was taking his side. "Don't talk to him like that Jasmine, he's still your step dad."
This, was pure nonsense, how could she just take his side like that, like I was in the wrong. "I can't believe you, my own mother, your supposed to take my side, to ask my side of the story, not take the side of a man that you know doesn't like me with everything in him. God, I thought we were better than that."
Everything raced through my mind as I ran upstairs to my room. How could my mother, out of all the people in my family, my mother take his side. I didn't know what to do, but I didn't wanna stay here, I mean I wanted to stay here, but I wanted to get out for a bit, atleast to clear my head.
I put my hair into a ponytail before walking downstairs and out the house. I walked around the neighborhood a bit, thinking about alot of stuff. I don't know how far I walked, but I ended up at a city park, which was empty.
I sat on on the bench by the slides and cried. If my dad was here, maybe this wouldn't be happening, no, if my dad was here this definatly wouldn't be happening. I never thought I'd see the day that my mother would take the side of a man, the man that wasn't her original husband. I feel so betrayed right now.
I was so busy crying my eyes out that I didn't realize Gotti walk up, I think that's his name, well that's what I heard Casey call him after I beat her ass. He sure did have his way of showing up.
He sat down beside me, "What you crying for 'lil mama?"
I wiped my tears away, looking at him, I know right now, I probably looked like shit, "Trust me, you don't wanna know, it's a hell of a long story."
He got comfortable on the bench, smiling at me, "I got time Jasmine."
I didn't know how this dude knew my name, but I didn't care, I told him everything, and I mean everything, from my dad dying to my mom marrying Jovian til now, and I felt like he was really listening and understood, which really helped me allot.
We sat there for a long time, talking about random stuff really, nothing really personal, but I kinda felt like I knew him. I found out that he had lost his mother at a young age, and his father left after that, so he was kinda on his own, which I felt like now.
It was getting extremely late, but I was really enjoying Gotti's company so we continued talking and laughing. "My hair is not fake, and my eyes are not fake, nor my breast, or my ass,"
"You lien Jasmine," Gotti said, laughing his ass off at my reaction of telling him wasn't nothing on me fake, "Tell the truth,"
His laugh was addicting, it was hilarious itself, which got me laughing with him, "I'm not lien Gotti, foreal."
When I finally decided to go home, Gotti walked me home. We laughed the whole way, like literally the whole way. As we walked up to my driveway, I thanked Gotti for listening to me, and for comforating me, and we parted ways.
Using my key to open the door, I walked into the house, only to get the lamp switched on before I could blink.
"Where you been?" Jovian questioned, like he was some kind of detective.
"Out," I said as I tried to make my way upstairs, but he grabbed me, and not like some kind of baby grab, but aggresively grabbed me, by my arm. "Your hurting me Jovian, let go,"
Instead of letting me go, he grabbed me harder, "Out where, little girl?"
I finally managed to get out of his grip, and I could see a bruise forming already, and it hurt. "I don't have to explain anything to you."
I rushed up the stairs quickly, closing and locking my door. I took a shower, then went to bed, thinking about Gotti silly self.
