I finally get home around 3 in the morning. Upon opening the door I realize some lights are still on. As I close the door I suddenly remembered about Vince. I look around downstairs and see Vince and Maria at the table talking about something. They look up as I enter the room.
" Who won," maria asked. I shrugged and check out Vince. His eye was a bit puffed up and that's all I could see externally.
" you alright," I asked him.
" yeah," he answered. I sat in the chair next to him. We were all silent for a while thinking our own thoughts.The only noise I heard was from the ticking of the cat clock that hung on the wall.I looked at both of them and saw they were looking at me. Man people these days and the staring.
" I think it's not good for you to stay here," Maria said. Hey, were they kicking me out?
" You and Dom are always on each others' cases and bust up each other like shit," Vince said. I groaned hearing this.
" that isn't fair why don't you kick him out," I said angrily.
" come on letty, he's my brother and this is my family's house," she said lowly. I tried to fight back tears. Where the fuck am I supposed to stay. I couldn't think about it for long cause I heard the angry screeching of a car parking in the driveway. Damn i thought. Sure enough here comes Dom angirly opening and closing the door as he entered the house.
" Letty," he yelled as soon as he got in. Both Maria and Vince looked at me.
" what the fuck did you do this time," Maria whisphered. We all sat there as Dom approached the kitchen and found me. He was not looking too happy that's for sure. He was breathing hard and looked as if he was going to pound me into my seat.
" So now you sell out to that white-boy over there," he yelled at me. I said nothing.
" I fucking lost because of your ass. I saw you this whole night with him," he said as he neared me. I got up from my chair and slowly backed away as he neared me.
" I lost to a fucking new kid,"he said as he advanced towards me. i finally bumped into a drawer that was open and saw a nice shiny knife. It called for me to take it. To hold it. To use it to cut Dom's mouth into so many pieces.
" What the hell do you have to say about that huh," he said as he shoved me. I kept my hands behind my back.
" Dom leave her alone," Maria said softly. Dom paid no attention he kept all his attention to me. he quickly slapped me and Vince quickly stood up from his seat.
" Leave her alone," Vince shouted at him. Dom looked at him but grabbed me by the neck.
" Was I fucking talking to you," he asked Vince. As Dom turned to face me his eyes met a sharp blade that was less than 2 centimeters away from busting his eyes out. He let go of me but got in one punch in my chest.
" Don't ever pull shit like that again," he told me. I slumped on the floor and passed out.
" Who won," maria asked. I shrugged and check out Vince. His eye was a bit puffed up and that's all I could see externally.
" you alright," I asked him.
" yeah," he answered. I sat in the chair next to him. We were all silent for a while thinking our own thoughts.The only noise I heard was from the ticking of the cat clock that hung on the wall.I looked at both of them and saw they were looking at me. Man people these days and the staring.
