Time frame: One New Year's Eve

POV: Ellis

Main event: A fisticuffs


Did I ever tell you about the time that Keith's sister got arrested?

It was New Year's Eve and we were all at a big party havin a good time. This was during the period that Keith was still havin fits from being tear gassed. It was at the worst because it was only a couple months since the incident happened. He was still jerkin around pretty bad and on occasion, he'd drop stuff. It was still in the year that he'd scream himself awake and scare the bajeezus out of anyone that wasn't ready for it.

Anyway, everything was goin real good and all. I had a few beers and so did Keith. He was there with his girlfriend at the time, not Brandi, it was another girl he was seein while they were broken up. Her name was Vanessa. Anyway, she was dressed nice, and she asked Keith to get her another beer. He did and he had the beer bottle open for her, but he had a jerk real bad and some of her beer spilled on her shirt. She had been drinkin and was generally not a nice chick anyway, but she got mad and popped him in the mouth and yelled at him. It pissed me off right away, because he couldn't help the fact that he had that nerve damage.

Before I could say anything to her, Keith's sister Mindy saw what happened and she came over quick and confronted her, pushing her back a step. Vanessa decided it was a good idea to load Mindy in the face as hard as she could.

Now, Mindy was a tough girl, and even though Vanessa put a lot of force behind the punch, it didn't even stagger her. Didn't knock her even a step back. That girl could take a punch in the mouth better than a guy could.

This set her off and she proceeded to unleash Hell on Vanessa. Vanessa had a good 50lbs at least on Mindy. Mindy was a bag of bones, but she fought like she was on angel dust. She had Vanessa on the ground and was hammering her in the face, and she'd stop to yell:

"You like hittin people?"

Or

"You wanna hit my brother again, bitch?"

Before she'd continue punching her in the face. Vanessa was doing a piss poor job of defendin herself, but she was about knocked out by this point. Keith and his other sister were both yellin at Mindy to stop and Maryanne was like, "El, go get her."

I was worried about Mindy comin at me like a gorilla, but I scooped her up around her waist and pulled her up. I didn't get her up in time and she managed to land a hard ass kick into Vanessa's side.

There wasn't much I could do. Someone already called the cops to come arrest Mindy, so I just held onto her so she couldn't do anymore damage. Vanessa wasn't a threat. She was just groanin and rollin on the floor. Her face was a mess and her shirt now had blood and grass stains on it aside from just a splash of beer.

Mindy was arrested, and when she was being put in the car, she was like, "Keith, you better not be with that bitch by the time I get out."

Luckily she was datin an older rich guy at the time so I gave him a call bein that Keith and his family were all too busy yellin at each other and I was like, "Hey, Avery. Mindy got arrested and she's probably gonna be callin you to bail her out."

Her boyfriend bailed her out as soon as the police would let her leave. Keith dumped Vanessa that same day.
