TWENTY FIVE- Clearing The Air
The way Noble & Majesty look in the media. Before some of yall say one looks better than the other, it's the same damn person lmfao but yeah, that's them.
"I just wanna say, you made me everything I am today. And after all I put you through, I wouldn't have it no other way. Ma I'm sorry." - Lil Herb
REIGN
"Hello... Jah, come get me, please." I cry into the phone. I drove my mom to the hospital earlier. She had to get a few stitches and she had a panic attack and passed out so they're keeping her over night. I feel way too guilty. She's sleeping and I can't even look at her without breaking down.
"Get you fa what?" Jah asks. "I can't be here... I'm at the hospital with my momma, Jah, please." I beg. "Mane, Reign, quit wasting my time with that fuck shit." he says. "I'm not wasting your time. All this happened cause I wouldn't tell them you put the hickeys on my neck since you made me promise not to." I say.
"I'm almost grown, Reign. I ain't finna come get you. A nigga ain't goin' to jail on no kidnapping type shit." he says. "Jah, you know my parents don't fuck with the police unless they on their payroll." I say. "Where I'm supposed to take you if I come? What yo mom in the hospital for anyway?" he asks. "I got kicked out my house, Jah. I'll tell you later, okay. I'm gonna text you where I am and I want you to call when you get here." I say. He groans. "Aight." he says, then hangs up in my face.
I slowly walk over to my mom's hospital bed then kiss her cheek. She opens her eyes a little. "Ma... I'm sorry." I mumble, grabbing her bandaged hand. She pulls away from me. "Leave me alone, Reign, damn." she mumbles. I watch as her lip quivers. She breaks down crying. "Just go. I wanna be by myself." she says. "No you don't." I mumble.
I glance towards the door as Noble sprints in here. He grabs my hair then slams my head into the wall. "Noble, stop it!" I hear my mom scream as he punches me over and over. I start swinging back but it's like he doesn't even feel it. "Bitch, I told yo ass quit fuckin with my momma!" he yells, banging my head on the floor as he punches me.
My mom grabs him, holding him in her arms. "Let me go! I'll kill her ass, I put that shit on everything! Ma, get off me!" Noble yells, throwing random objects in the room at me. "Fuck you! I don't give a shit, Noble!" I scream, trying to run up on him. He swings over my mom's shoulder, sending me flying backwards.
"Fuck this shit!" I scream, then storm out her room. "Reign." my mom calls after me, following me while trying to hold her hospital gown together in the back. "What? I don't care anymore, momma, dang." I say. "Stop it." she demands, then pulls me in a hug. I wince in pain as she touches my swollen jaw from when my dad slapped me. "Just quit." she says. I look down as I cry in her arms. "I don't know what's wrong with me, momma. I just get so mad and say stuff I shouldn't. I don't know why." I cry.
"Come here." she says, leading me back into her hospital room. "Sit down. Both of yall, right now." she demands. Both of us sit on the couch far from each other. "What is it? This rivalry between yall has been going on for about two years now. What is it?" she asks. I narrow my eyes at Noble. He doesn't say anything. "Answer me before I go get my damn shoe and beat both of yall asses." my mom threatens, massaging her temples with her eyes closed tight.
I start laughing. I'm so close to losing my mind. I no longer care. "Tell her why you really hate me, Noble. It's way beyond me disrespecting her. You hate me and you know it. Tell her why. Tell her what I did to you." I say, laughing my ass up. "I ought to knock you off this couch, bruh!" he snaps. "Yall better shut up. Somebody answer me." my mom demands. "He's too embarrassed. I'm done hiding it. I don't care. Everybody already mad at me, might as well put it out there. Tell her, Noble." I say, smirking.
He doesn't say anything. "Yall really think I'm playing right now. I'm in pain and my head hurts. I don't have time for this. This my last time asking." she says. "Fine. He hates me because I took his girlfriend. He had a girlfriend he liked a lot but she liked me, momma. I don't know why but she did. And Noble found out she went down on me in her big brother's car when we were supposed to be at practice. I'm attracted to women, mommy. I don't know why but I am. I don't consider myself gay though. I could never catch feelings for them but I like the way women look and how girls make me feel. There it is, I took his girl." I admit.
My mom stares at me wide eyed. "Since... since when, Reign?" she chokes out over her tears. I lean back on the couch then swallow hard. "When I was... ma, I can't hurt you more than I already did. Nevermind." I mumble, suddenly regretting even telling her. "Too late, dyke." Noble says. "Watch your mouth." my mom demands.
"Tell me." she mumbles. "When I was like ten I wanted to know how sex looked. So... I snuck on daddy's computer trying to find it. I saw things I never even imagined happening on his stuff. I would look at pictures at first. Then when he was in the streets and stuff or while yall were sleeping, I'd sneak and watch the videos. I guess I became addicted to it. That stuff was all straight sex though. Then one time daddy let me play games on his computer. I got bored and started going through the pictures. That was the first time I ever saw ya know... a girl kissing another girl. I was scared at first. I thought it was really nasty and weird. He had a lot of porn with girls having sex. I even threw up one time when I saw it. As much as I hated how it looked, I liked it at the same time. I started watching it all the time. I got familiar with my own body by watching them, ma. I don't know why. I'd always end up mad at myself after I watched it. It seems like the older I got, the angrier I became at myself. I try to deny it all the time but It's hard, ma. I think dating girls is weird... and I try my hardest not to be attracted but I can't help it. I'm only attracted to the body, ma. It's hard to explain it. I hate myself, momma. I always take my anger and frustration out on you and everyone else but I just hate myself. I try to change myself all the time by hiding it or denying it but I can't." I admit, crying in my hands.
"Reign... have you done anything to a girl?" my mom asks. "No... nobody even knew about this except Noble and that girl. I hid it really well because I don't wanna be this way." I answer. "Oh my God." my momma sobs. "I'm sorry, ma. I really am. Sometimes, I'm over the whole girl thing, then I randomly have a strong urge to watch lesbian shit then I end up mad at myself afterwards." I say.
She doesn't say anything as she cries extremely hard. "Have you ever had a girlfriend? Don't lie to me, Reign." she says. "No. I love boys. I'm just not really... well, I'm not having sex but I'm not turned on by boys but I love them in relationship type ways. The only time I ever thought about having a girlfriend was last year but quickly felt disgusted." I admit. "Sarah, huh?" she asks, referring to my closest friend. "Yeah. I just love her to death, that's where I think those thoughts came from. I'll understand if you never wanna talk to me again. Just don't treat me differently, okay, ma? I'm still me... you just know my secret. I haven't done it in a while and I really need help because I'm addicted to watching that stuff." I say.
"Come here." she says. I walk over to her. She pulls me in a hug. "Ma, I'm so sorry." I sob on her chest. "Shh... It's okay, Reign. I love you no matter what you like. And I'll get you all the help you need." she says, then kisses my forehead. "I'm so mad at myself. I don't know why I'm addicted to that stuff." I cry on her. "We gone get you help, baby girl, I swear." she mumbles.
"Look, ma, I'm sorry for coming in here being disrespectful." Noble says. She pulls him in our hug. "All this fighting between yall stops now, understand?" she asks. Both of us nod our heads. It feels good to finally get that off my chest. I wanted to tell her I needed help with that for the longest but I was scared. She took it way better than I thought she would and I'm really grateful.
"Noble, how in the world did you get here if you were at school?" she asks. "Jah texted me and told me Reign was here and I knew something happened after I went to school so I got some girl in my class to drive me here." he answers. "Call Montana and tell him to come pick yall up for me." she says, handing me her phone.
I watch as she lays back in the bed while I talk to him. "Reign, why the fuck she at a hospital? I'm on my way." he says. I hand my mom the phone. "I'm fine, Montana. I just tripped over Amari's juice cup and fell into my patio door and it shattered on me." she lies.
I plop down on Noble's leg. I honestly missed being close to my big brother. "You think he gone know she lying and try to kill daddy?" he whispers. I shrug my shoulders. "I doubt it. Amari always leaves that cup in his floor so he might actually believe it." I whisper back.
"He said he's literally in the driveway now." my mom says. "How come you and Montana broke up?" Noble asks her. "Ask him when he picks yall up." she answers. The door opens. Montana rushes over to her then hugs her. "What happened to yo face?" he asks. I look down. My dad punched her in her face so hard, it scared me.
"I got it when I tripped but can you please take them to your house or something? I wanna be alone so I can rest." she says. "Reign, Noble, go wait in my car. It's parked at the very front." he says, tossing the keys to me. I nod my head. My brother and I stand then walk out.
"When we gone toss a hoe, Reign?" he jokes. "Noble, shut your dumb ass up." I say, laughing at him. He gets on my last nerve.
MONTANA
"What?" Jessica awkwardly asks as I stare at her face. "I look stupid? That clearly was a fist." I say, touching her face. "Move. Mind your business." she says. I chuckle. "How you know Quan?" I ask out of curiosity. "How do you know about him?" she asks. I chuckle. "Let's just say that's a business partner of mine." I answer.
She raises her eyebrow. "He said he know you. How?" I ask. "That's the thing, I don't know. He won't stop blowing my phone up." she answers. "Does he act obsessed?" I ask. "Very." she answers. I nod my head, mentally taking notes.
"You know him from your past? Try to think way back." I say. I'm trying to get as much information as I can. "Why are you so worried about this?" she asks. "Just curious." I answer. "He seems familiar but I don't know, Montana. My head hurts, I wanna go to sleep." she says. "That's yo way of telling me to leave?" I ask, laughing. She starts laughing then nods her head.
I bend over and hug her. "I been kickin' it with this bitch I met lately." I tell her. "Bitch?" she asks. "Yeah, bitch." I answer, chuckling. She smiles a little. "Well then... good luck." she says. I smile wide. Things are just getting started and she don't even know it yet.
