DONNA JACKSON-This is My Life

She hated them all. Antonio. Quinton. Even Sasha because she did not try to stop it, she was the one that called Quinton.

Ethan's gorgeous face was a bruised, bloody mess. Now the police were storming in thanks to Meredith.

"What happened?" the officer asked.

"This man," Antonio said, nodding toward Ethan, "Barged into my house uninvited. That's trespassing."

"That's not what happened! He's a guest and my brother attacked him."

"What the fuck you bring him over here for Donna? You asking us to catch a murder case?" Quinton said.

"Sir, back away," the officer asserted. "Now whose house is this?"

"Mine. Antonio Jackson. This is my brother Quinton, invited. So I only see one person that looks like they don't belong."

"Mr. Jackson, are you going to press charges, sir?"

"Antonio! Haven't you done enough?" Donna said, crying over Ethan while running her fingers through his hair.

"Not hardly. But I don't think there is a need to press charges, long as he leaves."

Donna tried to help Ethan up, but he winced in pain.

"Stay yo ass down for I kick it again," Quinton yelled at him.

"Sir, I'm asking you to calm down or leave," the officer explained.

"I'm cool," Quinton said, threw up his hands and walked away.

"Ma'am, will you or your husband be pressing charges?"

"Husband? Ha!" Sasha let out.

"Yes!" Donna shouted out.

Ethan tried to protest, spitting up blood. "No."

"Yes! Look what they did to you!"

"I'm fine." Ethan moaned in pain with each movement.

"Paramedics are on their way, sir."

"No Donna, I don't need..." Ethan tried to get up. "I'm fine."

Then he passed out.

Donna screamed and cried, and shook Ethan to get him to come to. The EMTs rushed in and one pulled her away from him. They immediately started looking him over.

She turned to her brothers.

"This is why I couldn't tell you who Tony's father was. This! You've been nothing but big bullies to me all my life. I'm going to be with Ethan so just deal with it."

"I ain't gotta deal with shit!" Quinton barked at her.

"Donna, do you even know this dude? What he's really about? I can't believe you're letting him charm you. He's a snake, a crook, and a cheat, like his father. You know what they took from us. They took our father!"

"Ethan is not his dad. Get over it."

Donna walked away, following the EMTs taking Ethan out on a stretcher.

"You leave with him baby sis, you're turning your back on your family," Antonio stated.

Donna turned to him.

"I love you, both of you. But stay the fuck outta my life!"

*************************

Donna watched Ethan sleep. Even though he should be at the hospital, he insisted he was fine and he wanted to go back to her place. They gave him some pain meds and a prescription for more. He had cracked ribs, and they bandaged him up. One eye was swollen shut and purple. His nose was broken, and they reset it. His lip busted and various other bruises on his face and all over his body from the kicking.
