Violet watches Franklin pull in to Shermy's driveway, three blocks never seemed so far, Ever so closer she starts to wonder why she still even cares about his safety- he didn't even much as talk to Linus that day. Here's a guy who barely cares, about to fight for her. She doesn't fall head over heels like her friends do, is Franklin even worth her time and thought. A few houses away, her mind runs to; even if she wanted Shermy back, he probably wouldn't take her back after this.
Franklin struts to the door, peeping in the window; Shermy is saying something to make Four laugh, poking Threes chest, they both start to take his shirt off. Franklin knocks on the door, waiting, knocking again.
"Bruh! I saw you in there!"
"Franklin, man, I'm busy. Trying to get busy," he opened the door, "I might be able to talk them in letting you join."
"Hmm… got a question."
"Oh they do anal. Ya might hafta go easy on them, though."
"Naw, why you do Violet like you did?"
"What? Look man; I had a chance and I took it. You know the twins, one got tits, one got the butt. Man, me and Violet will be cool."
"No dude, you're not cool, I guess Four and Three are why she broke up with you?"
"Dude, she's not that easy to date all the time," he exasperated, "sex was good, though. Why are you worried about her, you don't even like her."
"You need to stop treating her like garbage, just leave her alone. Relationships are rarely easy."
Violet pulls up in front of the house.
"Why are you so worried about Violet? She can be a bitch, I'm not gonna leave her alone, I'll give a her a week and we'll be back together. Now whether you wanna join or not; I got some business to handle."
"Aieght man," Franklin punched him.
"Dude!"
Franklin rushed to punch him in the stomach, Shermy pushed him outside, he spun, tripping him to the ground. Violet saw Three and Four in the doorway. He got up, throwing a punch, connecting to Franklins jaw, who put him in a choke hold, kneeing him in his back several times.
"You're gonna leave Violet alone," he demanded.
Shermy broke free. Franklin rushed him with jabs as he tried to catch his breath, tackling him in to the side of his SUV, kneeing him in the stomach. Shermy threw a left cross, another, Franklin picked him up and slammed him on the ground.
"Leave her the fuck alone! Be done and we good!"
Shermy sat up, looking dead at Violets car, their eyes locked together a brief moment, she saw the twins looking at her, she sped away before Franklin could see her. Her exhaust note prompted him to turn around, just to see the back of her car.
"Lose her number, lose her Facebook, lose all that shit," he got in his Tahoe.
"Thought you weren't some white knight," Shermy coughed.
"I'm not, but you're a fuckin dick! Every time she breaks up with you; it's your fault, ninja. Then you trick her in to dating you again," he backs out. "Stop fuckin with peoples feelings, bruh."
Three and Four ran to help him, watching Franklin drive off.
"He's gonna fuck yall over too," Franklin yells, speeding off.
"I ain't trying to give you girls up."
Violet is still trying to process what just happened, she wanted to stop him, to jump out the car, break them up. All she could do is stare. Pulling up in front of her house, she wondered what she should do, she drove off to Patty's.
"Excuse me ma'am, but is Patty busy," she asked her mother.
"I don't think she is, what is it; teen drama? Sometimes I miss that kinda thing."
"Yeah, it's teen drama."
"Oh what happened?'
"Umm.. a boy I know beat up my ex over me."
"Oh! That is something. Patty! Violet's here," she yelled.
"I'll just go her room, no need to yell," she let herself in.
"Okay mom," Patty screeched back.
She rolled her eyes, going to her room.
"Soooo Franklin beat the shit out of Shermy, and I don't know what to do," Violet blurted.
"He what?! Is that why you drove off like you did?"
"Yeah, I watched the whole thing! I wanted to stop them but I was in shock."
"Was it bad," she excitedly asked.
"He rammed him in to his own car and slammed him on the ground."
Patty giggled maniacally.
"But what do I do?"
"Suck his cock?"
"Patty!"
"Okay, how about; give him a chance, a kiss and thank you… then suck his cock."
"You're horrible, ya know that?"
"You love me," she grinned.
Facebook Messenger pinged on Violet's phone, she checked to see a message from Franklin.
"The deed is done. Was that your car I saw driving away?"
"It's Franklin!"
"Well thank him for what he did," she read the message.
"It was me and thanx."
"Even you deserve better than that trash. You gonna add me or wut?"
"Hold on," she texted, going to her account, accepting his friend request.
"I can't believe you beat him up!"
"No biggie. How much did you see?"
"All of it."
"See; it's not hard is it," Patty asked.
"I guess I do owe him one."
"You owe me one Vee."
"Told you," she laughed, holding the voice record, "you want sucky sucky?
"Patty no!"
"LMAO! Whassup Patty."
"She was joking. Ignore her."
"Its cool. Just let me get to know you. You wont even remember that ninja."
"Ok deal."
"Coo."
"Just to let you know I have no idea what im doing."
"Nobody really knows what they're doing, like have some fun, be a teen," Patty advised.
"I know its crazy but don't you think we could work? Wanna try?"
"Take it slow."
"Yea we can."
"Violet has a boyfriend!"
"Not yet!"
"Yet," she grinned.
"Im lookin forward to it Vee."
"Oh shit! You see that, he's looking forward to getting with you."
"Relax Patty, it's like a trial run or something."
"So if it doesn't work, then what? Want me to hook you up with Pig Pen?"
"Um no thanks."
"You free today? Wanna chill?"
"Say yes, say yes!
"You can come over tomorrow. I still need to process all of this"
"No prob. See you at school."
"What did I just do, Patty?"
"You just scored another guy. Franklin is going to love you in no time, bet on it."
"We'll see."
"Gotta have hope and find some good connections. Let somebody else see the real you for once," Patty encouraged.
"Now I'm worried if this will be a complete failure, if he doesn't like the real me."
"Just try it out. I gave you a soaring review."
"I do owe him for what he did… a Gray always pays their dues and debts."
"Aren't you so honorable and debonair," she curtsied.
Her mother screams if Violet is staying for dinner.
"Nah, I have homework."
"No, she has to go home," Patty yelled back.
"Your family is so high class," she rolled her eyes.
