Demented

Chapter 5

      "Bruh, fuck that was about? Why you huggin my bitch? You know I'll beat yo ass in a heartbeat lil boy!", said Jai. I just looked back and saw her running back into the building. He pushed me into the boys locker room and began stomping me. There was nothing I could do. I wasn't strong enough. I'm laying there on the ground and Kobe and Matt walk in. "I understand. Y'all couldn't have done much more then I could have. Just help me up!" as we all giggle. They sit me down on the bench and they start helping clean me up, then Mr. Dizzy walks in. "What's wrong with Letterman? You ok man?" I just slightly say, "Jai. That's just Jai." "I got Markahm. Got this new drill I wanna introduce. I'll show him something. Y'all leave now. Let me get this locker room cleaned up!" We all walk out and I look in the bathroom mirror and see a gash under my eye. It's bleeding but I'll be good. I'm not gonna die, hopefully. But, I'm now walking to my car to head to the fieldhouse, where I'm filming football practices with my girl best friend, Zaria. Always can talk to her about anything. She's my rock other than Matt and Kobe. I see her walking to the fieldhouse and I pick her up. "Bestie, what's wrong with your eye? You ok? Who and where the hell did this happen? WHO THE FUCK I GOTTA KILL?", she says. I say, "Jai and in the locker room. Just can't get away from him at all. He's always finding some way to fuck up my life. No matter what." "I'm bout tired of that mf laying his hands on you. You know how I am about you." "I know Zaria, but it's Jai. You know how he is and you know who he runs with. Just don't bother. I'll be fine." She doesn't know that she's about to witness them Jai getting pummeled my his whole team. "Hey Zaria and oh you ok?" said Mr. Carlos, the film director. I said, "Yeah just pass me my Sony!" He passes me the camera and I head to the ledge along with Zaria. "So we gotta spend 30 mins here and close action for the next 45. So let's just chill for now and let my big cam do the talking!" said Zaria. "Ight, let's sit back and chill." 30 mins pass by and we're headed down to the field. We're on the sideline getting ready to film and Mr. Dizzy yells, "Markahm, on the board. Time for you to go head on head with the linebackers!" "Coach, I'm the QB you know this ain't good for me. I can get hurt man wtf." said Jai. "Get on the board pussy." He gets on the board and gets straight obliterated by the linebackers. He gets up off the ground after the last hit clenching his ribs. Sees me while walking by and kicks my camera. I trip him. He gets up and walks away. But after that, I drop Zaria off at home and I'm headed to Sariahs house to go see her before I go to the park to meet Zuri. Pull up to Sariah's crib and guess who's car i see, JQ's. JQ or otherwise known as Jahquavious, is the ex Sariah always talks about. How he did this and he did that. That he's the best in bed and that she still loves him. This dude deadass stalks her and she doesn't seem to care. It's ok cuz she still loves him. Nonetheless, I just hit a block and wait for him to leave and I get to her house. She walks outside to my car to come talk to me. By her side is her best friend Keiona. She hops in the car and gives me a hug. Keiona is like my cousin so she always down to see me. Being around her is always a lit time. Sariah then says, "So what's with the Zuri situation?" I rebuttal with, "What's with the you and Jai situation along with JQ being outside your house just moments ago? Why you still talking to him? Do you have any respect for me? At all? And I don't got shit going on with Zuri. We cool but ain't shit there." "That ain't what Jai told me. He said you and Zuri was hugging outside of PE? What's up with that?" I just shrug and say, "It's a hug. Nowhere near as bad as walking in on you kissing the guy that you know I hate the most. You know I hate him and you did that shit out of pure spite. I haven't done anything to deserve this shit man. I do all I can for you and all I get back is a hug and a kiss every now and then. Never get an I love you some days. It's just a when you feel like it kinda thing." Sariah just simply replies with, "Sometimes, I just feel like you're not the one but I pulled you in to use you. I got with you because I saw you had a job. I saw you had this and had that. I was tired of working at Whataburger. I thought you could take care of me. I was fooled. You were just worse than me. You don't got shit and you're family ain't shit. Should've had a momma by your side to lead you on. I'm tired of this shit. Call me when you get home, broke ass. Love you." She ended that off with a love you. After just talking down about my family, me and then saying shit about my mom. All coming from one human being who does one thing only and that's use me. Keiona says, "Cuzzo drop me off at the crib. You know where to go and I'm sorry bout her. She's just a bitch sometimes. She treats me wrong too but she's cool to have around sometimes." Wiping tears out of my eyes I say, "Bet, ill drop you off and then I gotta head to the park to meet up with Zu-" Keiona's face lights up. "Meet with who??"  "Zuri, but shut the hell up. Don't need Sa knowing keep this shit to yourself. Keiona says, "I ain't saying shii, but this starting to get juicy. Let me know some shii cuzzo!" We both laugh as I dropped her off and she gave me and hug. She hopped out the car and went on in. Waited for her to get in the house and then I drove off. Round the block was the park so I pulled up and stopped at the pavilions. I see Zuri swinging in the swings and I go over and hop on one right beside her. I say, "So, what's up. Why we here?" "So, I keyed Jai's car and cut all of his shoes and now he's mad. Shit I love to see. He shouldn't  have fucked with me." "Well, I ain't never gonna get on your bad side." I laughed as we got off the swings and hugged. "Let's go sit under the pavilion and talk about what's going on. So we can really get an understanding of what's truly finna happen." I say. She says, "Bet, carry me over there. That's a long walk." So I pick her up and put her on my back and she latches on and I Naruto run to the pavilion.  "So, what's the plan with you and Jai moving forward?" "So, my family is planning on moving to the south side of town soon by the dock, where you stay, so we don't know if Jai is willing to come. He'll prolly move out if he wants to. But me and him are going to talk this out tonight when he gets home. But now it's me and you time." "Tryna see how imma deal with Sa man. I love that girl but I'm tired of this and today she said some shit out of the way and that shit truly hurt me man. Like deadass. Talked about my mom. And my situation. Knowing I ain't got it like that." Zuri says, "Blessings are coming your way. Hear me. I know the truth. You're too good of a human to get not one blessing. It's coming love." Zuri stares me in my eyes as I stare into hers. And then I hear a familiar voice in the distance. Up walks Zaria. "What the hell? Zuriiiii?! Bitch, come give me a hug! Thought that was Sa hoe ass." I just put my head down and just sigh that it was Zaria and not someone else. "I was walking to Kelvin's house, but I saw my bestie and my cousin so I had to stop. So what's up with y'all? D, explain." "Nothing, just a lil congregation to speak on the matters ya know. Nun too special. Go on bout ya business." She laughed gave us both a hug and then continued on her way to Kelvin's house. Zuri then moves down to the bottom of the bench. She moves her leg over mines and hugs my side. "You know you really made me feel like I was loved earlier. The way you comforted me when I started crying. Jai always would tell me I'm soft and that I shouldn't be crying about shit. He hates when I say I don't want to do the shit he wants. I just feel neglected and hated. I did all I could. He did nothing. I just want love." I see her start to cry and then I give her a hug. Shit hit me hard. Don't like to see a queen cry so I did my best to make her happy. She walks with me to my car and she gets in. She grabs my shoulders and pulls me to her. She says in my ear, "I don't feel like going home. Take me with you." I say, "Okay. You down to sleep on an air mattress?" She laughed and said, "I don't care, I just don't wanna go home." I head to the dock on the south side of Sunny Side where I stay and park outside the complex. I walk her up the steps to the unit we live in D7. I walk into the door and see both my Aunt Kim and Uncle Josiah on the couch sleeping so we walk past silently into my room. She sees my Spider-Man covers and starts laughing. "What's wrong with my Spidey covers man? Dude hard as hell." "Nothing I think it's cute. And where can I change?" "Just go to that bathroom in the hallway." I get relaxed I'm in some gym shorts and I lay down. She walks back in my room with nothing on but a bra and some panties. "Give me a shirt fool." I laugh and throw her a Thrasher tee I always wear. She comes and hops in the bed with me and lays on my chest. "What we watching? Netflix ; Hulu?" "Lets watch some Stranger Things." She said bet as she was falling asleep. I'm falling asleep now as the night fades. What a first day. Wow.
