"get off me man, help!"broderick screamed. marcus and I pulled up. "get off of him!" I screamed. marcus ran up to them and pulled mark off of broderick. I help broderick up to see a busted lip and black eye. "what did you do to him!" I yelled. "tell her nigga, you selling drugs out here, riding in that cadalliac you see right there." mark said as Marcus held him back. "is that true?" I asked broderick. "yes ma'am." he said. I slapped him. "get your fucking ass in the car now!" I said. "man it ain't even like that."broderick said. "boy if you don't get your ass in that fucking car." I said highly pissed off. "and you, I told you that I don't want my kids in the fucking streets." I said. "what, mane I ain't got nothing to do with this shit, his little homie tae got him in this, so what you need to is watch your motherfucking kids because obviously they surround themselves with bad company." mark said. "you have the fucking nerve to talk, you and Derek breath the street, it's what got derek killed because y'all wanna be bad boys on the block, please I stay on my children because they will never be you, stay away from my kids, let's go marcus." I said. "hey man, she just mad right now, be cool." marcus said giving him a brotherly hug. "I said lets go....now!" I yelled. marcus and I got in the car and pulled off. "I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but you is not grown, you are fucking 14 years old, you still in school, you are not made for the streets and you need to stop hanging out with that hoe ass girl." I said. "don't fucking call her that, alexis good, she help a nigga out and make a nigga wanna do shit."broderick said."watch your fucking mouth on how you talk to your mother, stay in your fucking place." marcus said. "man I'm not a fucking child." I said.

"man, whatever."broderick said. "what?" marcus said. broderick rolled his eyes. "no marcus, don't worry about it, cuz I got him." I said as we pulled in out driveway. broderick got out and started to walk inside and plot himself on the couch, mad at the world. tyson was playing nba 2k on the couch, while natalia was surfing facebook on her phone in the recliner. I walked over to the bushes by our house and grab a nice firm stick and pulled the leaves off as I walked inside behind marcus, I grabbed broderick by the arm and started swinging. "iiiiiii...I'm sorry...iiiiiiiiii!" broderick yelled as he tried to get away. "you think you fucking grown, huh, wanna sneak out and sell drugs." I said as I was swinging. "Iiiiiiiiii, I'm sorry....ma...iiiiiiiiiiiii."broderick said as I let him go and he fell to the floor crying. "Get your ass up in that bathroom and clean your self up." I said. broderick got up and walked over to the bath room. he saw his beating up face and busted lip, with red marks on his leg and side from being hit with the branch. he was in so much pain. "hey man, you good." marcus said. broderick just looked at him then looked back in the mirror. " look, your mom and me just want what's best for you, we don't want you to go down the path your uncle's did, it's not a good road to go down, I'm not knocking for wanting to be a rapper, but you got to have something to fall back on, what if one day you can't rap no more, you gotta have a back up plan, understand." marcus said. "yes sir, but y'all gotta give alexis a try, she a real nice girl." broderick said. "ok tell you what, invite her over for dinner tomorrow night, and see what you talking about, but right now I think you should go apologize to your mom, she hurt and crying right now, you have a good head on your shoulders son, don't throw that away, it's not worth it." marcus said.

"ma can I get nba mortal kombat?" tyson asked. "you always want games, do you even like girls."broderick said. "shut up, at least I don't sleep around like you." tyson said. "What!" broderick shouted. "hey, can't y'all ever get along, chill out."marcus said. "hey alexis here, say she tell broderick something and its important." natalia said. "ma please." broderick begged. "fine but just for a mintue, then she gotta go home." I said. "thanks ma" broderick said walking outside. "hey baby, what's going on." broderick said giving her a hug.
