"Well, Macey sometimes I think you're little overprotective since Blake, even though she'd never got hurt by any of her uncles." Carter yelled.
"Maybe, Michael, Brad and Trevor are bad influences on her, since she's copying their behavior." Macey shouted. "She burps and cusses out like Trevor. She lays around on the couch, being lazy like Michael in front of the TV watching old movies and that Courage The Cowardly Dog shit. And Brad… watching fights on TV all the time and Blake nearly broken Ethan's wrist."
"It wasn't my idea that Blake should stay up and watch the fights on TV, while we were drinking beer and she was having cheddar and sour cream chips and Sprunk." Carter explained. "She was sleeping in her bed, along with Ethan until Trevor started swearing up a storm in front of the TV and that's when Blake came out the bedroom, holding Bun-Bun and that bear Michael gotten for her. What was it called… Kuma-chan?"
"Carter Josiah Grant, you work as a bank robber in secret while going to fuckin' night school to study to be a restaurant manager. When are you gonna stop being both, cause it ain't going anywhere!" Macey questioned. "Cause half of it, going to me and the kids while you go to school every Monday and Friday night."
"I've been cooking since I was ten years old, and I've been a bank robber, since the late eighties." Carter yelled. "I'm not giving both of them up, Marcelline!"
"You know what? The problem is you and those idiot friends of yours who are bank robbers!" Macey retorted.
"Fine! I'll go be with my idiot friends, since you hate them!" Carter shouted, before throwing his beer bottle half drunkenly against the wall. He grabbed his grey winter coat and left the Grant-Rose trailer home without another word.
"Hey… I don't want Daddy to go." Blake said, quietly before Macey noticed her. The dark haired child was hiding behind the corner of the small hallway as she was holding both Bun-Bun and Kuma-chan.
"Go back to sleep, baby." Macey simply said, before sitting down on the couch and grabbed her cigarettes.
Blake walked back towards her shared bedroom, before closing the door. Her brother Ethan wasn't here to witness the fight between Carter and Macey as he decided to stay over at Brad's trailer home for the night.
So, Blake decided to do the same thing.
She grabbed her unicorn fleece blanket, before placing on her lavender purple winter boots and climbed out the window to find Carter.
Hearing a clock tick tocking loudly in the principal's office was started to annoy Blake De Santa, as she was sitting down a chair in front Principal Lisa Strickland's wooden desk on the left side and behind her was her family.
By her family, she means Michael, Trevor, Jimmy and Tracey were there for the dark haired teen. Amanda was with them as well, but the academy's security guards had to make sure that she didn't have anything illegal on her to be entering the school after coming onto school grounds, without getting a visitor's pass.
They were waiting on the principal's return with Amanda and waiting on Lunch and Selena to arrive so the afternoon meeting can start.
It has been a week since the Kortz Center Ambush with Steve Haines, the corrupted FIB and IAA agents including Merryweather. Blake had revealed herself as the Usagi and she had to take down as many people at the Kortz Center and also Steve Haines.
But he didn't go down with them along with his niece, Chloe Rivers just like that…
As she heard Steve's shrilling screams, Blake realized that she slice off his left hand as blood was splattered against her clothes and her severe hand was lying on the concrete ground of the Kortz Center.
She didn't mean to cut off his hand, but it was a warning from her dark side to do. Her dark side told her to kill the FIB agent as he was losing blood very quickly, trying to crawl towards his sliced hand. But when Blake raised the katana sword again, she was knocked upside the head and she drop the bloody sword.
She smell the tear gas bomb once again, as it covered her eyes and she noticed a woman with long flowing red hair, helping the injured agent off the ground and leading him to the safety of a hospital.
"Momma…" Blake said before her eyes closed and she slowly faded into her unconscious state.
"I can't never forget and forgive you, Momma…"
When Blake woke up, she realized that she was at Franklin's home in Vinewood Hills lying on his bed. Michael, Carter, Franklin, Trevor, Ethan and even Dave Norton was there waiting on Blake to wake up.
"Well, look who's up, the fucking rabbit!" Trevor hissed, as Blake slowly raised up from Franklin's bed, rubbing her eyes.
"Shut the fuck up, meth head!" Blake said, looking at him, before looking at everyone. "Why's everyone here? Why am I here?"
"Blake, what happened to you when you were with Steve?" Dave questioned.
"Why should I be telling you, since you and Daddy hide the fact that my Uncle Brad's dead because of you?!" Blake retorted, before getting up out the bed to see that she was wearing on of Franklin's long sleeve shirts. Franklin walked towards Blake, before hugging and kissed her on the lips.
"You alright?" He questioned.
Blake nodded her head slowly as she felt the pain. "I'm fine, but I'm safe, right?"
Michael nodded. "Yeah, we're safe for now. I've taken Lynnette home, cause Selena was worried sick about her and even the school called about having a meeting sometime next week."
Then she walked towards Michael, Carter and Ethan.
"Blakie Bear, are you-" Michael started to questions until he saw Blake's hand grabbing onto Ethan's vintage Sprunk soda shirt.
"Do you realize who'd you killed?!" Blake questioned. "The FIB is gonna be all over our asses now!"
"Whoa, Sissy, what are you talking about?" Ethan questioned, holding up his hands. "You're the one who cut off Haines' left hand and sent him straight to the hospital!"
"You don't understand…" Blake said, before letting Ethan go. "You'd killed his niece."
Everyone looked confused except for Dave Norton who somehow already know who she's talking.
"Grant, your son killed my boss's only family he had left, after losing his twin sister from a gang member." Dave explained.
"And now… Steve is gonna be all over our case." Blake said.
"I knew that asshole from TV was a fucking faker!" Carter said.
"We don't have to worry about the dickhead for now." Trevor said. "He's in the hospital where he can't fucking get us."
"Blake, Steve is under a lot of trouble now. He can't get to us, after failing his job. Making us doing his dirty work. And he even touch you." Michael explained.
"I'm going to keep a close eye on him." Dave explained. "If there's anything else, you let me know, Blakesleigh Rose." He said, placing his hand on Blake's shoulder.
Blake turn to Dave and shrugged his hand off her shoulder. "I am not 'her' anymore. My name is Blake De Santa now. The girl who's last name is Rose died a long time ago, and she and her mother was devoured by me. And I will never trust you again, after when you killed my Uncle Brad."
"I wish none of this would never happened… The liers. The pretenders. The fakers. Everything…"
Two more days after the Kortz Center shootings, Blake stayed hidden at Franklin's house as she was able to move around again. She even cooked dinner and played and even walk with Chop whenever she wasn't busy with school work. Michael was able to check on the dark haired teen, since he was at home making sure how he can help Amanda get closer to Blake, and even to his adult kids.
When Blake return home from the academy, Franklin was in the kitchen making dinner. She can smell grilled chicken in the air, but she wished it was steak. Sitting down in front of Franklin as he cooked, she had her earbuds in her ears listening to Hero~Song Of Hope by Flow while doing her geometry homework.
"What is a Pythagorean theorem?" Blake questioned herself while tapping the end of her teal mechanical pencil against her crimson red spiral notebook.
"How the fuck should I know? I don't understand that." Franklin replied, making Blake laughed as she looked up at him.
"I was talking to myself, babe…" Blake said, before pushing her spiral notebook towards him. "Hold on… now I remember…" She said, before the pencil lead touch the wide-ruled paper, until the buzzing sound of Franklin's doorbell, made her dropped it. "Damn it, I just had it!"
Franklin laughed at her before turning down the stove, and Blake stopped him.
"It's probably my Daddy, I'll go get." Blake said, while getting up, before walking towards the front door and opened it to see a woman who's older and taller than Blake, and had matching skin tone as Franklin's. "Uh… can I help you?" She questioned, taking off both her teal colored earbuds while looking at her.
"Is Franklin home?" She questioned while looking at her.
"May I ask who you are?" Blake questioned with her arms crossed.
"I'm his ex-girlfriend. Tanisha Jackson." She said.
"Babe, who is that?" Franklin questioned, walking towards the door to see Tanisha in front of Blake. "Tanisha?"
"Wait… So, this is the girl you've been seeing?" Tanisha questioned, pointing to her. "Franklin, you're a fucking pervert, she's looks fifteen."
"I'm seventeen, bitch!" Blake hissed.
"She's a feisty little one." Tanisha said.
"Thank you, it's called being a bad bitch!" Blake explained, narrowing her eyes at Tanisha as Franklin was left out, while looking at two women fighting over him.
Which was kinda hot and sexy to him.
"Tanisha, I think you should go, before you piss her off." Franklin said.
"What? I can't say anything to the man I used to be with? While he's with a short girl from Rockford Hills Academy?" Tanisha questioned, noticing the academy's emblem patch on her right sleeve of her polo shirt.
"Ain't you married to that rich doctor or something?" Franklin questioned, pulling Blake back as she was breathing in and out slowly.
"You can say that, F baby." Tanisha said.
"F baby?" Blake questioned.
"I used to call him that and it really turns him on when I say it." Tanisha explained.
"No, it doesn't!" Franklin said.
"Yes, it did, baby." Tanisha said back.
"Listen to me as hard as you fucking can! You need to get your boyfriend stealing ass, milk chocolate looking, rich hoe ass married self outta of my face, before you lose that weave in your hair!" Blake yelled.
"Damn babe. Chill the fuck out." Franklin said, holding onto her as she slowly calm down.
"She's a cute one while angry, Franklin. But… the hair is not even her She's like a little slut on the streets." Tanisha said, smiling before Blake's eyes widened.
"I know this bitch did not talk about my hair and called me that!" Blake retorted, before breaking out of Franklin's grasp and slapped Tanisha in the face.
A fight started outside of the Vinewood home, as Tanisha grabbed Blake and slammed her against Franklin's Bravado Buffalo, before Blake grabbed onto Tanisha's hair and head-butted her. Tanisha fallen onto the concrete ground, as Blake climbed onto her as they wrestle out of each other grasp, grabbing and ripping off the clothes. Tanisha ripped off Blake's black polo shirt, showing Blake's lace violet bra and Blake pulled more than clothes from off of the older woman.
Blake grunted and pulled off part of Tanisha's hair as she cried out in pain.
"You though I was wearing weave, little slut?!" Tanisha retorted as Blake played with it, showing a sadistic smile to her. "You'll be sorry!"
Tanisha punched the seventeen year old in the right eye, as Blake fallen off of her before Franklin pulled Blake apart from Tanisha. "Alright, you saw her and you've already hit my girl."
"I'm his girl?" Blake questioned herself quietly.
"Go back to that rich husband of yours. I gave you everything a long time ago, and you ain't got no reason to be here."
"Yes I do… Lamar's in trouble with the Ballas." Tanisha said, getting off the concrete driveway…
The door to the principal's office open as the De Santa family including Trevor saw Amanda walked in with two Rockford Hills Academy security guards.
"I bet you two know me now." Amanda questioned the security guards.
"Hey, Skip." Blake greeted one of the security guards who has short brown hair and in his thirties. He walked towards Blake and fist bumped Blake's hand.
"How are you, little lady?" Skip questioned.
"I'm in the principal's office as you can see." Blake explained. "I don't even know why I'm in trouble."
"You'll see in a minute." Skip stated before looking at Michael and Amanda. "Mr. De Santa, we're here on the principal's behalf. If your wife decides to start another fight, she will be escorted off the property again."
"I'm not going to start anything." Amanda said.
"Mom, you do it all the time." Jimmy said.
"No, I haven't."
"Like the other day, when you thought Blake put my clothes and even yours in the dryer to shrink them?" Tracey said, while half paying attention on her phone.
"Actually… that was real." Blake confessed. "I shrink your clothes in the dryer so you'll be thinking you're fat."
"What the hell, Blakesleigh?!" Amanda shouted, before noticing the two guards pulling out pepper spray and a taser gun as a warning.
"One more outburst, and she's off the property, Mr. De Santa." Skip explained once more, before the principal's finally walked in.
"Sorry, about that…" Lisa Strickland apologized, before walking behind her desk and sat down. "I had to deal with two students giving a foreign exchange student a Texas wedgie."
"Holy shit, what's a Texas wedgie?" Jimmy questioned.
"You're giving out a wedgie to the person but you're pouring Los Santos Cock Sauce down the ass crack while doing it." Blake explained, as she laughed before looking at Michael and she stopped laughing.
"Anyway, we're still waiting on Miss. Haines and her daughter Lynnette." Principal Strickland informed. "I've already talked to Maxine Johannah Sterling, Ethan David Missildine and Olivia Anastasia Stevens about this problem, but now it's just Blakesleigh and Lynnette now." She explained, before the door open revealing Selena and Lunch.
"I'm sorry, I had to pick up my son Christian from Los Santos Middle School and take him to a friend's house for a while." Selena explained her's and her daughter's tardiness. Trevor noticed Selena as the older woman blew him a kiss, while Lunch sat down in a chair in front of the principal's desk on the right side.
"So… why am I here?" Blake questioned.
"Yeah, why you need us and even our family?" Lunch questioned with her arms crossed, leaning against the chair.
"Alright, we need to start with last week. There was a huge school fight that broke out all around the academy. Every student, teacher and even FIB and LSPD involved during the fire alarm and fight incident." Lisa Strickland explained. "I don't know who pulled the fire alarm, but both of you girls and even Chloe Rivers was missing on that day during the whole fight."
"We were hiding out." Blake lied.
"Yeah, the fight got a little crazy and we didn't want to be involved in it." Lunch explained.
"So, let me get this straight. You two girls were hiding while the fight was going on?" Lisa Strickland questioned the girls and both girls nodded. "Girls, I need to tell you something both of your stories do not check. A surviving student saw you two leaving out of the academy grounds, ditching school and that person is no other than…"
"Chloe Rivers." Blake finished the sentence.
"Exactly." Lisa Strickland said. "And now Chloe Rivers is in heaven now after when this Usagi kills her and hospitalized her uncle, which is Steve Haines."
"What are you talking about? My daughter never ditch school before." Michael said.
"Mr. De Santa. I love having your niece or… daughter here at my academy but she did have a few school code violations over the past six months." Lisa Strickland explained. "Like on the first day of school, she wore black leggings with white crosses on them. We gave her a warning and she listens. Her hair right now is dyed a full teal color and that is a very strict violation." She explained, while looking at Blake's now fully dyed teal colored short hair. "And today, a teacher saw her smoking cigarettes which is an illegal activity for her to be doing outside of classes and during school hours."
The principal pulled out Blake's half empty box of Redwood cigarettes and her violet colored lighter onto her desk, as Michael taken them.
"I apologize. She won't do this again." Michael said, before looking at Blake, who had her arms crossed. "Would you, Blakesleigh Victoria?"
"No, Daddy I won't." Blake said.
"And I was wondering if Miss. De Santa was getting this negative behavior at home or maybe from Miss. Haines?" Lisa Strickland questioned. "Because somehow, these two are friends and they all have the same thing that you've all had."
"What do you mean by that?" Amanda questioned. "We don't live where they live and I don't even work like her."
"Are you being racist from where I work? Cuz I heard you were one as well." Selena hissed.
"What did you say, you old bitch?" Amanda questioned, before Skip got between the two mothers.
"I ain't even that old. I'm thirty three years old and how old are you, anyway? Forty five like your husband?" Selena hissed.
Amanda snapped as she ran towards Selena and started wrestling the younger woman down to the floor, before Skip pulled Amanda off and the other guard pepper sprayed her in the face. Amanda cries out in pain as she was escorted out of the office.
"I'm sorry about my wife. We just got back together and there are few problems still." Michael apologized.
"Your new Mommy a crazy bitch still?!" Lunch whispered.
"I know." Blake said, while nodding.
"Alright, back to what I was saying. Does Blakesleigh get this behavior at home with her two older cousins or… adopted siblings." Lisa Strickland questioned.
"Well, she does get part of the behavior from me and my wife. But sometimes she's usually a quiet one and usually keeps her cool." Michael explained. "She's not taking any drugs or doing anything illegal that will put her behind bars or six feet under."
'Yeah, just like the FIB jobs and the heists we've pulled off…' Blake said to herself in her mind.
"Yeah, Blake has been cool lately when we got the family back together again. We played Righteous Slaughter Seven together on two players, and I really roasted her." Jimmy explained.
"And we managed to have girl talk together once in awhile, since she's dating someone now. Yesterday, we've even got our nails done." Tracey explained.
"Yeah, we've did." Blake said, showing her new coat of crimson red nails on her fingers. "I even dyed my whole hair now."
"And Shrimp has been helping out with her good ol' Uncle T as well." Trevor said.
"Like what, Mr. Philips?" Lisa Strickland questioned.
"He has his own company. It's called Trevor Philips Industries. Heard of it?" Blake said.
"No. But it must be a really good company." Lisa Strickland stated. "Alright, back to Miss. Haines over here. Selena, I try my best to help your daughter, but somehow she's not giving me what I want from out of her. She's been ditching classes. She's failing in some of them, receiving D's and F's, except for the drama class which she's receiving a B in it."
"Well, she'll pick it up. My daughter loves drama class and she barely has enough time to study, since my fiance is training her to become an FIB agent." Selena explained.
"No he's not. Mom, he is cheating on you and he's trying to send me away." Lunch retorted.
"Steve never cheats on me. I've been with him for eight years and you're telling me this so you won't bond with him." Selena rejected her daughter's statement.
'Selena need to open up her eyes. Steve is cheating with my mom who is still alive. But I can't reveal her identity yet, I still haven't told my family about her being alive. Alright, it's time for me to stand up.' Blake said, in her mind while looking at Lunch and Selena.
"Selena, it's true. He has been cheating on you. I saw him the other day walking with this red haired woman, and they were holding hands and having rough sex in his office." Blake explained.
"I don't believe you. You're probably saying this, cause you're on my daughter's side." Selena said.
"Mom, it's true. I walked into Steve's home and saw her naked in the bed with Steve." Lunch said.
"Then why don't we go see Steve after this?" Selena questioned. "And maybe he can clear this up."
"So, you're saying that… you don't like me?" Trevor questioned. "After all the good sex we had together?!" He yelled, before walking out the office and Selena ran after him.
"Nobody don't like you…" Blake said.
"Mr. De Santa." Lisa Strickland said, calling his name.
"Yeah?" Michael said.
"I made my decision for Blakesleigh. Even though she's one of my promising and scholarship students. I'm afraid I have no choice but to suspend her for two weeks." Lisa Strickland explained, before looking at Blake. "And also, Miss. De Santa, I heard that you were participating in the spring concert for Miss. Rachel Fuka Fuka's music class."
"Actually, someone sign me up… and I decide to go along with it." Blake explained.
"Well, Blakesleigh, I just gave you your punishment and with you being suspended for two weeks you are still able to graduate with your class and move to your junior year. But… I have to withdraw you from the spring concert."
When the principal said that, Blake's eyes widened in shock. "No…" Blake said sadly.
"Come on, Lisa, my little girl has practice so hard and she even got this song that she wrote for her heart finished and ready for the concert." Michael tried to persuade the principal.
"I'm sorry Mr. De Santa. Ever since she has missed so many sick days over the past few weeks and also broke a few violations at my school. And consequences has to be taken care of to the student." Lisa Strickland explained. "Blakesleigh is a good kid, but I run this school and I warned you from the beginning when she was involved in the fight against the geometry teacher with Lynnette Haines."
"For the last fucking time!" Lunch shouted as she stood up. "My name is Lunch or Lunchables Boxfield! My late dad gave me that nickname because he gave me a Lunchables food box to take with me to school, since me, my dad and my mother were low on money back then before my brat of a brother was even born. You don't care about my dad or about me. He got flatten as a pancake, in a car accident when he was supposed to pick me up from elementary school."
"Lynnette Haines, sit down now!" Selena retorted when she came back in with Trevor.
"But Momma, she was making fun of me and my dad!" Lunch said.
"Lunch, kiddo, listen to your mother for once." Trevor said, as Blake and Michael were amazed that Trevor acted like a parent for once and Lunch listened to him.
"Selena, without Steve Haines here with us and to help out with Lynnette and her fee at the academy, I was planning on suspending your daughter for the rest of the two weeks and she'll be continuing to graduate with her class." Lisa Strickland explained.
"And…" Lunch questioned.
"What happens now?" Selena questioned.
"Lynnette Haines is expelled from Rockford Hills Academy." Lisa Strickland explained as Lunch's, Selena's and Blake's eyes widened. "I will send Skip to clean out your locker, and Blakesleigh, you will still be with your class next year. That's everything I need to say." She said, before standing up and shaking Michael's hand.
"Thanks, Lisa." Michael said before Jimmy and Tracey escorted Blake out of the office, as Lunch watched her best friend walk away from her…
Wow, so much happened in the past week with Blake.
She sliced off Steve's hand with the katana sword. She finally met Franklin's ex-girlfriend and fought against her. And now she's suspended for Rockford Hills Academy and Lunch is expelled without Steve Haines to back up her and Selena.
What will happen now in the next chapter of Sweet and Deadly?
And I based off the principal office scene from off of Life is Strange: Before The Storm, Episode Two when Chloe and Rachel were getting their punishment for skipping school in Episode One.
