This chp uses some sensitive language. I'm just trying to demonstrate some
of the problems interracial couples face , and share a few of my
experiences. I do not share the views, I think color is nothing but a
pigment :)
( V) " You all right babe?" I asked as she walked off the stage with her diploma looking lost. "V, I'm black," She said turning me to as I laughed.
"Baby are you just now realizing that?"
"No, not like that," She said snorting as she pushed me away gently. "I'm black, and you're white."
"So?"
"That doesn't bother you?"
"No why the hell would it? " Looking at her closely I pulled her to the side away from the team.
"What happened?" I asked
" Some girl said, and I was just wondering, ," She mumbled refusing to meet my eyes.
" Brandy, it doesn't matter to me," I said gently grabbing her chin.
"V I just don't want to hold you back, I see those girls who want you, they're so much prettier than I am. "
"There would always be a problem with someone else."
"What?"
" They could never be you," I said gently kissing her.
(Brandy ) I smiled as he kissed me, pacified for the moment. It wasn't like me to let the words of others influence me, but it killed when people only saw color. I'd seen couples crumble, because they couldn't handle the crap they got from others about it. It was something I did not want to happen with us. I quickly forget about my somber thoughts as the rest of the team ran over, congratulating me
"Finally another brain," Mia said patting me on the back as I laughed.
We all headed to our cars, and V laughed as I practically ripped off my cap, and gown. It felt so good to be done; now I just needed to figure out what to do next. For the next month I was going to work in the garage handling the paper work while Mia concentrated on her finals. So I had a while to figure things out. " I missed this," V said as we drove to the race that night.
"Me too baby," I said smiling as leaned against his arm. I had been absent form the racing scene for almost a month, due to school.
"I think people were wondering where I hid you," he said laughing as we pulled up. I smiled as I heard the murmurs as I Stepped out of the car . I felt free, really free for the first time in almost a year. I felt like Bryce was smiling down at me from somewhere.
"V," I said turning to him smiling.
"Yea?"
"I want to race." I said making his jaw drop.
"Are you sure?"
"Hell yes, where's Brandon?" I asked walking off in search of him.
(V)
I quickly walked behind Brandy trying to keep up. I couldn't believe she was going to race tonight, she hadn't been in a race since Bryce. I was excited, but worried at the same time. Did she remember everything, would she be all right. I didn't want her to end up like her twin; but I bit my tongue as I thought of asking her not to go. I knew her; it would piss her off royally.
(B)
Finding Brandon I held out my hands.
"What?" he asked confused.
"I want to race." I smiled as I heard Lettys' " Hell ya ,man , La princessa is back!"
I frowned as I saw Brandon pale.
"B, I don't' know."
"Brandon I'm never really going to make peace until I get back behind the line man," I said leaning against his back.
We were still quietly arguing when two cars I'd never seen before pulled up. I almost screamed as Ashley stepped out with a Blonde who could only be her brother. "Well, well would you look at that," She said smiling.
"You racing?" I asked sneering.
"Hell yea, and I'm gonna break that record of yours," She said smiling.
"You're definitely racing," Brandon, said remembering what I'd told him about her earlier.
"Let's go then chica, if you think you're all that." I smiled as I sat in my brother's car a few minutes later hearing the engine purr. I had missed this it was time for me to come back to doing what I did best. Putting in my mix cd I turned up the sounds of JA rule. I nodded my head to "Smoking and Riding," as the white flag went down. I laughed as they all took off, going into third way too early. I calmly shifted seconds later as I passed the other two, then the third, and fourth, leaving me Neck, and neck with the only one I really wanted to beat. I sung along and nodded as I waited for the right moment to hit my Nos. It was like the engine talked to you, and if you listened to it , you would never lose a race.
I smiled, as Ashley hit her nos a split second later. "To soon, Slick," I said pressing my nos, and flying by her winning by more than a foot. Stepping out of the car I heard the crowd cheered, and I took a little bow... I was a princess after all. "Good job baby!" V said lifting me up as I laughed.
" I aint giving my money to a niggar," Ashley 's brother said sneering.
I'd always thought I'd seen V upset when he thought I was cheating, but that was nothing compared to his anger. Setting me down, he pushed me away gently as I tried to block him.
"No," I mouthed shaking my head as he headed toward the blonde. Dom came up behind me grabbing my was it as I tried to walk forward.
"Just stay out of his way, B," he said restraining me.
"Aint no one using that word towards my girl, " he said snapping as his fist met the other boys jaw.
"The truth hurts," he said as he hit the ground.
Brandon, and Leon ended up pulling him off the guy who was nothing but blood, and bruises by the time they pulled him away. I didn't realize I was crying until V wiped away my tears as he helped me tot the car. "Its ok B," He said.
"It is?" I asked looking out the window. He couldn't fight the world over me.
"Don't you even think about leaving me," He said as we pulled into the driveway.
"V,"
"No, I don't want to hear it Brandy," he said yelling as we walked in.
"This is just going to keep happening," I said sighing heavily.
"Then fools will just have to keep getting hurt." He said holding me close.
"Come on baby, today is happy," he said as he led me towards the door, and to my Victory party at Dom's
