~~Throwback Scene~~
I stood up, nervous as hell, & walked off to the principals office. I thought to myself "how could this day get any worse" as I walked towards the door marked "PRINCIPAL". Before I could open the door, I saw Jenny's father charging towards my way shouting, "You better not have been around Jenny!"
~~~~~~ ~~
I got mad all over again when I saw him. I could not speak, All I wanted to do was beat his ass for what he did & tried to do to Jenny. My fist was already balled up & I could feel myself ready to strike his ass, until he spoke up again.
"You better pray that you are not the reason why my daughter is in here." He spat at me.
Again, I was too angry to reply. Poor man didn't have a clue that he was really adding fuel to the fire with the things he was saying. I just stared at him as if he was a cartoon villian here to destroy my world & ruin my relationship with Jenny. After a while he realized that he was not intimidating me, so he pushed me aside & entered the principals office. As soon as he did, all feeling came back to my body & my brain snapped out of attack mode. I took a deep breath & stepped into the room. Jenny's dad turned to look at me with nothing but a disgusted look on his face.
"Oh now your dumb ass can finally move huh you dyke" he shouted. "Answer me gay girl!" he continued.
"Mr. Lemus, please be quiet, yelling & calling her names is not going to make this situation any better. Please let's all act like responsible adults here & act our age." The Principal said.
I glanced over to look at Jenny & she looked bad. She had scratches on her face, her nose & lip were bleeding & the whites of her eyes were now red. Her white bathing suit she wore as a shirt was now covered with spots of blood, but the most painful thing about her appearance was the look in her eyes. The look of betrayal. A look I never would have imagined she would be giving me. I felt so low at that moment I didn't know what to do. The girl who was not only considered as my girlfriend but also my best friend hated me now. She hates me & I don't blame her. Then I shifted my eyes over to Tashii who looked as though she thought the whole scene was funny. That really showed me that she was truly ignorant. Then I realized that Jenny's father had directed his attention my way again.
"Don't be staring at my daughter, that's how you probably turned her gay in the first place" he said sarcastically.
"No she didn't. She's not the first girl I've been with dad, & I would appreciate it if you would stop talking to her like that." Jenny shot back in my defense.
"I know you're not standing up for this lesbian!" Jenny's father snapped back.
"Yeah I am, so what you wanna do you ass!" Jenny shouted as she stepped to her father.
I was so confused at this point. I had so many different thoughts going through my head. I could have sworn that she hated me after what I did, but here she is defending me. It felt good to know that she did not hate me, well it seemed like she didn't. But at the same time I thought she took too many blows to the head for trying to challenge her father like that. I mean didn't she learn from the black eye or does she have to get another one before she' ll fully understand. Now I'm angry that she would even put herself in a situation like this & risk getting hurt even more than she already has today. I mean I think she's gotten hurt enough in every way, shape, & form in these past couple of days.
"Girl I see you trying to grow some balls to talk to me this way over some girl....some dyke who you let lick your pussy all day...is this your girlfriend
Jenny?" Mr. Lemus asked in a very calm manner.
"& if she is? What you gon' do about it." Jenny said kind of backing off.
"Alright you guys, calm down. I don't want anymore trouble happening today." The Principal said.
Just after that was said, the first punch was thrown, this time not by Mr. Lemus, but by Jenny. Her father fell to the floor hard, which made Tashii make a dash for the door. As soon as he hit the floor, Jenny was on top of him throwing punch after punch until Mr. Lemus finally pushed Jenny off of him & gave Jenny a good smack to the jaw. Jenny fell in front of me & started crying. Suddenly all of that anger I felt before came back & I pounced on his ass. I punched him in the stomach & he staggered back, but he approached me with all his might, trying to make sure that I go down, but it wasn`t gonna happen. He charged at me & I moved out the way & kicked him to the ground. He got up & tried once more to bum-rush me. He got a-hold of me, but I wasn't about to go down, so I gave him uppercut after uppercut, until the security guards came to brake up the brawl. It took them a while, but finally they got us apart.....for a second. I ran towards him & he grabbed me & tossed my little ass across the room. I got up & tried to push my way through the security guards, but I had no luck. All I could do was push one security guard into Mr. Lemus. On my last effort to shove the security guard, he actually bumped into Mr. Lemus, making him stumble a bit. When Mr. Lemus stumbled, a small hand gun dropped to the floor. Nobody noticed the gun until Jenny grabbed it. When Jenny stood up she pointed the gun at her father which had all of us scared. A couple of seconds later, the police busted open the door.
"STOP!! Young lady put the gun down." Shouted one officer.
"Jennifer please put the gun down. . . . I know that you are angry, but shooting him will not make anything better, besides you're a very intelligent & talented young lady, & I know you don't really want to shoot your father & risk throwing your goals & dreams away. So please Jenny, put the gun down." The Principal said.
Jenny started pacing back & forth, while still holding her father at gun point. Then she glanced over at me & I could tell she was scared & that all she wanted to do was just cry. We all knew that Jenny didn't want the situation to end up like this, we all knew she wasn't like that, in fact she's the total opposite. So seeing her with a gun was just shocking. Finally Jenny started to come back to her senses & she slowly lowered the gun. Just then one of the security guards slammed her into the wall, took the gun from out of her hand & started putting the handcuffs on.
"Y'all arrestin' the wrong person, she didn`t do anything. Y'all should be arresting him over there." I said.
"Young lady she had the gun so we have to take her." The first officer said.
Then both the officers looked around the room & saw the blood on the walls, floor, & the window. They also seen the turned over chairs, & the partially broken desk, then one officer said "Oh my Lord, what happened in here?"
"Officers arrest this man as well, he is to be blamed for this whole situation." The Principal said pointing to Mr. Lemus who was standing in a corner being very quiet.
"Look Alex, for the moment I want you to just stay quiet ok? I`ll do all the talking, & I will try to get Jennifer out of this situation." The Principal said.
I did what the Principal said, & quietly watched them take Mr. Lemus away. I was still shocked of how the whole situation played out. Everything was just so out of control, that I just had to sit down. Just then, a police officer came out of the building with Jenny still in handcuffs. As they were walking, I saw her staggering, trying to keep up. I was thinking to myself that, that security guard must have hurt her leg or something. Outside, the police begin to pat Jenny down to make sure she didn't have anymore weapons on her before they put her in the car. I walked over there & talked to her as they did it.
"Baby it's gonna be ok. I will figure something out, so you won't have to go to jail, don't worry" I said.
"I'm not worried. . . . . & you don't have to do nothin'. I don't need anything from you." She spat back
"Jenny...what are you talking about? I want to help you. Do you wanna get locked up?" I asked.
"Well if it means getting away from you, then yes." She said
"What?! You were just defending me in there; & now you wanna switch up & get mad! Yeah its gotta be something wrong with you." I said.
"Well I ain't like the way he was talking to you, & I didnt want him to hurt you. . . .that's my job & what you mean something is wrong with me? Im not the one who was cheating" She said
"Ok I know your mad at me for what I did, & I didn't want you to find out this way, but what do you want me to do?" I said.
"What?!? I don't want you to do anything if you have to ask me. & when were you going to tell me that….that you were cheating with….with…."
At that moment she collapsed & passed out on the ground. I yelled at the police, who just stood there & watched her fall, & told them to get a damn ambulance. I knelt down to the ground & held her head in my hands, that's when I notice that her curly hair was soaked with blood. That man had beat her so bad that she now had a damn concussion. I knelt there gently tapping her face trying to get her to wake up. The ambulance arrived like five minutes later & lifted her up onto a stretcher. I wanted to ride in the back, but they told me I couldn't because I wasn't family. That seriously pissed me off. They told me which hospital they were taking her to & that I can meet her in the ER.
I was so scared that I did not know where to turn. All I knew was that I had to get to that hospital fast. I ran to the police but they wouldn't offer me a ride & the Principal was too busy talking about the situation, that I didn`t want to bother her. The only one who was with me in that parking lot was Tashii. I turned to look at her & she had a big smile on her face.
Ok people that's it for Chapter 6!
