     "Is this the reason why Aunty Stacy won't even look at me ?" She shouted "you two fucked around and made me?" The hurt in her voice broke my heart. "Littke gal yuh betta watch yuh mouth because no matter how upset you are respect is a muss" Nichol shouted back "Respect is for upstanding people and not a  home wrecking  bitch like you!" My eyes literally came out of my head because I knew nichol was about to sleep in jail.  Nichol attected shante with a round of slaps to the face before I could even intervened by pushing them apart and try to guide shante from the room
    " yhh know mi will mash yuh up and you a show up yuh color" nichol said has daddy was trying to keep her from getting close to her child
     "I think you should apologize to your mother" daddy chastised only to be Shante's new target
  "all you dont seh a fuck to mi all these years you live with your family right across the road from me and now you wah play fada move yuh bloodclat a gweh!!". I was relieved that this plac was almost empty but the few pple here gathered in the front of my dad's door to hear the commotion. Existing the building with a upset shante and a chanting nichol on our tail I took out my phone and call jason he picked up on the third ring        
     " can you come pick us up on Spanish town road plz" I was a bit out of breath trying to keep up with a speed walking shante
    " what's wrong how you sound so ? " I was in no place to explain
     " can you come now !!!!" I shouted and hang up.
    After walking for more than ten minutes  in complete silence I asked her" Are you ok ?"
She just took a deep breath and replied
" just walk with me ok" I  entwined our hands and did has she asked. We stopped at a bus stop  on the side of the road and took a seat. I knew it would take Jason some time to get to us as Kingston traffic at 7 in the night was no joke. We saw a car pulled up and our dad came out of it
    " you two need to come with me" he ordered
   " sir mi not going nowhere with yuh leave mi alone no!!" Shante screamed at him
   " yuh think it was a question?" He asked turning his  head slightly as if possessed.
    "Ants move now" I shook my head "daddy I am not leaving her out here alone mi sorry" I said without caring about wat he would say while shante was ontop of her voice screaming for him to to leave us alone this caused motorist to slow down and take in the excitement on the side if the road. I was now in the middle if shante and daddy's heated argument
  "you come out here acting like fada when you don't give a fuck about a soul!!" Shan screamed at him
      "yuh can chat how yuh think yuh live a life of comfort littke girl?? Yuh think a nurse salary could really cover how you living...stop acting stupid" he lashed back. Just then justin's black BMW pulled up and both men highlight from the car " What's happening here babe?" Justin asked pulling me into a hug while jason tried to calm a hysteric Shante "it's just so much drama going on rn" I said resting my head on his chest and taking in his manly musk. "What the fuck wrong with yuh face Shan!? I heard jason shout looking at Shante her beautiful features were covered under swollen eyes and welts on her face caused by the slaps she received from her mother. "Who the fuck you two think you and why you hug up my two underage daughters!" My daddy shouted walking up to me and pulling me away from Justin who in return this attack by pushing my father way from me
"do you know who i am bwoy?" Daddy asked justin  " Lego mi daughter now?" Justin facial expression was blank has he asked " is this your father bby girl?" He asked while still holding my hand     " yes he is" I said in a low voice "and apparently he his also mines!!!!!! " shan chimed in with her voice filled with hatred. "Listen to mi both a you get in the fucking car before mi affi drag unno to it" my father gritted out which cause Justin to hold my hand tighter. "Daddy just calm down and stop with the drama plz" I pleaded hating the fact that ppl started to gathered around us.
    " Shut up and do has I say now!" With the evident rise of his anger Justin intervened by pushing me behind him
   " you need to calm down sir , this is no way to speak to your daughters" he said trying to calm my dad down
   " If Taj want to go she can but from the look of things Shante not going no fucking where with him" Jason voiced with malice " not over my dead body bro, yuh no see how the man a move mad " Jason pointed out
    " well I am not going no where with out Shante" I made clear so everyone could  hear. " I am going with Jason" Shante stated and walked off toward the car with Jason " if you two go with them just know I am calling the police have them locked up for fucking minors" my dad shouted " big bloodclat man like unno a fuck two school gal" he continued and he walked towards the car has Justin opened the back door to allow me to sit with shante in the back seat while daddy continues to shout and walk towards the car Jus shut the door and turned to face my father what ever they where saying was muffled and drowned out by the passing cars all I saw was my dad holding up his hand in front of him and backed away from the car while Jason start the car and justin got in and speed off.
      Shante curled up in the back seat with her head in my lap and knew she was crying because I could feel the tears soaking into my Jean's I just held and stroked her hair while she cried.
" you guys need anything before we head home ?" Jason asked
" yes ice-cream and  the regular junk food" I spoke up know my greed ass would be hungry has soon has the adrenaline dies down. They made a stop at a supermarket and got what I asked for and then we head in the direction of the house. We were spending the night at Justin's again and seeing has I already had a over night bag there I was ok with it. Entering the house Shante stayed close to me. Justin and Jason started to get comfortable in the living room
" come lay beside me bby girl" Justin signaled to me but Shante was still holding on to my hand
    " I think I am going to take a shower and go lay down" I told him with a small smile
     " ok I will come check in on you in a bit" he said with a concerned look on his face
" I am going with Tij " I heard shante said but I was busy staring at Justin to really pay attention to her. Justin gestured that for me to go which snapped me out of my trance. I walked down the hall to my assigned room  while Shante went to take a show in the room across the hall. I came into the room after my shower to find  her curl up in my bed watching  grown ups. I joined her on the bed and she cuddled up to me and wrapped  her hands around my waist. "I know I shouldn't expect any better from them, they had us living a lie, he isnt even a father to you much less" she vented  while I stayed quiet and allow her to get it all out "all this time I thought your mother was the monster but I would have done the same thing" she groaned out "them inconsiderate bad and mi hate dem!" From the tone in her voice she was crying again. " mummy she always a preach honesty while she lied to me my entire life" I sooth the hair from her face while she cried after a few minutes all was left were small sniffles and I turned my attention  to the tv.
