Open Opportunities

Chapter XVI

BRIA

Who the hell would do this?

I thought as I looked at my car in horror. All of the windows and windshield was broken. Walking around to the other side, I noticed the word "b***h" spray-painted on the side. To top it off, all four of my tires were flat.

I broke down feeling defeated. That was the first car I ever had. My ex-husband bought me that car, and it was one of the last things I have from him before he died. I guess now I'm feeling what Morris was feeling with his grandfather.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the words "what the hell". I knew it was Morris' voice.

As if the situation couldn't get any worse, Marcus walked out at that very moment. Before I could even blink Morris was marching towards him with an angry scowl on his face. I tried to run after him, but the pants I was wearing didn't help the situation. While I was walking all I saw was Marcus smirk, and Morris socks him in the face.

"Oh my God!" I yelled as Morris grabbed him by his neck, lifting him off the ground, and pinning him against the side of the building.

"Baby stop!" I cried as Morris continuously sent punches to his face.

He let him go and Marcus slumped to the ground.

"Morris what the hell were you thinking! You could've killed him!" Morris looked at me with a blank expression.

I grabbed Marcus steadying his body and I slowly walked him to the nurse's office.

When I came back Morris was leaning against his car on his phone.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. He put his hand up as if he was telling me to wait.

Hell to the no.

I grabbed his phone and hung it up, not giving a f**k about who he was talking to.

"What the f**k? Bria give me my f*****g phone back." I looked around trying to find out who he was talking to.

"Don't ever talk to me like that again. Why would you doing something so damn stupid!"

"He disrespect my family and I don't take that s**t, I don't care who the f**k you are."

"You're jeopardizing your career over some words? Some f*****g words! You almost killed the man for goodness sakes!"

"Since you care so damn much go to his ass. Don't bring yo ass home until you get yo s**t together." I slapped his face.

"When you wanna have a civilized conversation talk to me. I don't understand why you're acting like a damn child!"

I turned around and began to walk away and I heard his footsteps behind me.

He grabbed ahold of my arm.

"Morris let my f*****g arm go!" I said trying to wiggle loose.

"No! Where the hell are you going?"

"Let me go right f*****g now Morris before I slap the s**t out of you!" He sighed and reluctantly let my arm go. I began to walk away as I called myself a cab.
