The Husband

Renee

"Rodrick, you can't be here. This is a family's place." I said moving back. He kept moving with me in sync.

"Remember you said I can keep you mother since she was a hoe? Now I'm here and I know she is too. Now if you will excuse me." he pushed past me and walked to the backyard.

I sat down and rested my head in my hands. This is too much going on today. First, mom came back. Now Jim's father is like a pedophile. And now Rodrick is home starting again.

"You alright, Renee ?" Jim's soothing voice said.

"I'm fine. I'll just sit down and let my headache go away." he shook his head and left me to be.

Jim

"Brianna, remember me Rodrick ?" she looked up at him and ran to me. He walked up to us and I stood in front of her.

"Just move and it won't be a problem." this nigga crazy. He moved left and so did I. He moved and I followed him.

"Brianna, go inside and stay with Renee." she ran in. By now, everybody stopped and looked at what's going on. Even the music stopped.

"Blood, you need to start minding your buisness more often." by now, his finger was in my face.

"Nigga, how about you go back to where you came from ?" he chuckled before he pushed me.

I caught my balance and punched him in the face. I hovered over him and started throwing blows.

He hit me once and I fell back. Renee pulled me back and Mama pulled Rodrick back.

She looked at me and felt my bruises and I winced in pain. Mama was looking at the both of us in disappointment.

"Rodrick, what is wrong with you ? This is a family party and you don't belong here." she said angry.

"But what about Brianna ? She doesn't need to be here either." she just chuckled. I turned around to look at Renee and she was hugging her mom.

"Brianna is Renee's mom and they are family. Now what you need to do is get to stepping before I bust a cap in your ass." he looked at everybody and kissed his teeth before leaving.

"Yea, grandma. You better tell him." Junior yelled and everybody started laughing.

"Jim, come on. I'm going to clean you up." Renee whispered in my ear. I grabbed her hand and she took me to the bathroom.

Rodrick

"Yea, they kicked me out." I looked in the mirror and felt my face to see if it was real.

"Well, take care of it. Espically Renee. She started everything to have everyone like this now." he said darkly. But he did prove a point.

"But ain't word out is that she is pregnant ?" he chuckled.

"Exactly. Kidnap her and kill the baby. She needs to suffer. And the mom, try to convice back to prostitution." then he hung up.

Renee

"Jim, stop flinching. It doesn't burn that bad." I tried to put the cotton ball back on his lip and he winced in pain.

"Jim, I'm going to call your mother to take of this." I tried to leave and he grabbed me back.

"No, she is still mad at me from before." man, he tripping. I did it again and he sucked it all up.

"And we are finished." I threw away the used cotton balls and he stretched his back.

"Now, let's go back out and have some fun." I grabbed his hand and we intertwined our fingers and walked outside.

Music was blasting from the speakers and we started dancing and having fun. Then gunshots blasted all out and I fell to the ground.
