River
When we finally got home i got two bags of ice and headed upstairs to shower and lay down. My face and ankle were killing me and i just knew that i was going to be bruising already.
When i finally got to my room i put my food in my mini fridge and stuck the ice in the freezer part. I then grabbed my clothes and hobbled to the bathroom to get a shower.
I didn't look at the mirror when i first went in to the bathroom. I just got undressed and got into the shower.
I washed my hair and body and was careful not to get my chest too wet. It was still covered up from where i got the tattoo done. When i did my legs i looked down at my ankle and it was really swollen and black and blue.
When i got out i dried off and uncovered the tattoo and put more medicine on it. After i got dressed i ran a brush through my hair. When i finally looked at the mirror i winced.
My face looked bad. My nose and the left side of my face was all swelled up and bruising. That dickhead must've been wearing a chunky ring with the way the cut on my face is.
I shut the light off and went out into my room. I grabbed my bags of ice and went to my bed. I turned on my tv and found NCIS on tv and laid sideways with the ice on my face and my ankle propped up with ice on it.
I turned a timer on, on my phone so that i only had the ice on for fifteen minutes. While i was laying there resting with the ice on me, my phone went off. When i picked it up, it was a number that i didn't recognize.
UNKNOWN- Did you make it home ok Amorina. How is your face feeling.
ME- Who is this? How did you get my number?
UNKNOWN- This is Domenico, but you can call me Dom. I got your number from Rosa before you left tonight. I wanted to be able to check on you.
ME- Sorry i didn't put your number into my phone yet. I got home and got a shower and then laid down with ice on my face. We made it home fine and im ok, im sore but im ok. Im going to let the ice finish up it's time on my face and then try to finish eating before i go to bed. It's been a very long day.
DOM- Its ok Amorina, i should've told you that it was me. Im glade that you made it home ok. What are you doing other than icing your face?
ME- Just laying in bed watching NCIS. What are you doing?
DOM- Heading back to the office to finish up some work.
ME- Do you work all of the time? Do you ever take time off an just relax?
DOM- Im always busy with work but i have a lot to do this week. I have to go out of the country next week for work. Ill be away
for a week or two.
ME- Oh, ok, well i wont keep bugging you so that you can get some work done. Be safe next week on your trip.
DOM- You're fine, you can text me anytime. Besides I texted you to check on you. And im not back at the office yet. I am almost there though, so i won't be able to text back alot. Try to rest tonight and tomorrow.
ME- I plan to, i've not got anything else to do but study and then go have dinner with Chris and Ren tomorrow. I've got class all week so hopefully I feel better by Monday. Thankfully my championship game was last weekend.
DOM- What are you in school for? And what game is that? And if you don't mind me asking how do you know Chris and Ren and why do you call them poppa and pops?
ME- I'm in culinary school and taking business classes. As well as art classes. I play baseball and had a baseball championship game, I'm a pitcher. We won. And I've known Chris and Ren since I was 10. My Nonna has raised me since I was five. When I was 10 and met them they became the dad/dad's that I needed. They've been there for me since then. They are the best and they are my family.
DOM- Do you plan to help Rosa with the diners? And you play baseball? Do you play on the girls team for school? Chris and Ren are wonderful men. Chris is older but we have always been close. I remember them talking about a daughter but never understood why i didn't see her now i know why. I'm afraid im now back at the office. I need to finish up this work. I'll call or text you tomorrow to check on you. Try to get some rest. Goodnight Amorina.
ME- Yes i do, I already work there now. I play baseball on the boys team, im not a wimp, lol. Don't work all night, you need your rest as well. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight.
After i got done texting with Dom, i finished the time i needed with the ice on me. I managed to eat some more of my food. Although it hurt like hell.
I went through the tv channels and found Grown Ups 2 and put it on and laid down. I was just to the part where they put Higgins in the giant tire when i fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning with the tv still on and my face hurting like a bitch. I could barley open up my left eye because my whole face was swelled up bad.
I turned off the tv and went to get up. I could barley walk my ankle was swelled up so badly. I managed to hop to the bathroom. I had to use the bathroom pretty bad and i finally made it there.
After i did my business, I brushed my teeth and my hair. When i looked in the mirror my face looked really bad. It was swelled up and bruised.
I got dressed in a pair of shorts, a spaghetti strapped shirt and a crop top hoodie. I was dressing for comfort today. I went without shoes because my foot and ankle were swelled up really bad and it was black and blue also.
I went downstairs to get breakfast and had to sit down and scoot down the steps. I was taking my time on the stairs since i only had one eye to see out of and had to scoot on them. When i got to the bottom of the stairs i could hear voices yelling loudly.
From the sounds of it, it was coming from the kitchen. I managed to stand up and hop in that way and the closer i got the better i could make out who it was yelling.
Loretta and her spawn was here and they were cussing out Nonna. From the sounds of it, they wanted her to get Anthony out of jail and she refused to do it. They also wanted her to make me drop the charges on him and she said no.
I sent my phone to voice record and then I sent two texts. One to Nikko and one to Uncle Zain.
Nicco- Hey are you upstairs if so get your ass downstairs NOW. Loretta and her spawn are here and they are attacking Nonna, screaming and cussing her. They want her to get Anthony out of jail and they want her to get me to drop charges. Come help me get them out of here im about to head in there after i text Uncle Zain. And i can barley see or walk so i need help NOW.
UZ- Hey I need you to get over here ASAP. And i may need Aunt Bella to get me out of jail. Loretta and her spawn are here and they are pretty much attacking Nonna. Their screaming and cussing at her. They want her to get Anthony out of jail and want her to have me drop the charges on him. Im about to fuck some people up for the way that their talking to her.
I immediately got two messages back.
Nicco- Be right down, don't go in there yet.
UZ- Im on my way. I was already heading that way pulling up in two. I'll call her just in case.
I stood outside of the kitchen and waited for Nicco to come down. I still had my phone set to record. While i waited i pulled up the camera that's in the kitchen and made sure that it was recording what was going on.
I could hear Nicco on the stairs at the same time i watched Loretta pull back and slap Nonna as hard as she could. Nonna staggered back into the counter and i was on the move.
When i entered the kitchen i did so hopping on one foot and with fists flying. I hit Loretta so hard that she landed on her back and slid across the kitchen floor. I then stood in front of Nonna in a protective stance with both of my fists up. The best that i could on one leg.
"You bitch, you fucking hit our mother. How dare you put your hands on her. You'll go to jail for this" Fantasia yelled.
"She put her hands on my mother first and i retaliated. And id like to see you try to put me in jail for it. I have video prof to show that you all were here uninvited and assaulted Nonna first. We have cameras all over this estate including right here in the kitchen. I have every bit of it recorded. So go ahead call the cops, then you'll all be in jail with your father. Id like to know how the hell you got on the property. Which guard did you talk into letting you in because they all knew not to let you in here and i know Nonna wouldn't let you in" I said.
"The cops are on their way already. I called them the instant that you texted me and said that they were down here. Zain and Bella will be coming through the door in just a minute as well. I hope you have a good lawyer because your whole family is going to need one. And i already know which guard it was and he will be delt with accordingly" Nicco said.
Since he was down here now i turned around to make sure that Nonna was ok. "Are you ok Nonna? Do you need to sit down? Let me get you some ice" I said.
"Calm down Amorina, im ok. She cant hit very hard, it just took me by surprise is all. I didn't get hurt, i promise. Now you on the other hand. Not only is your face all swelled up and you can barley see out of one eye. Your also hopping on one foot and you hit her so hard you busted your knuckles. Remind me not to piss you off. Your Nonno would be so proud of you" Nonna said with a laugh.
"I can't believe you mother. My father would not be proud of that parasite. He would be disappointed that you let it hit me the way that it did" Loretta screamed.
"Im hear to tell you that dad would most definitely be proud of River. It is you that he would be disappointed in. He taught us to never, ever raise our hands to our mother and for you to hit her the way that you did. Not only would he be disappointed but he would've disowned you. Hell he would've done that years ago when you decided to abuse your daughter because your a selfish bitch. You are no family of ours, of any of ours anymore. This is my family, im the head of this family now. I take care of mom and River and you are to stay far away from them. Your whole family will be served with restraining orders, today. Neither mom nor River will be dropping the charges against any of you. And try to press charges against River for protecting mom and see what happens. You will be on the street faster than what your going to be now. I can promise you that" Uncle Zain said.
I had never heard him talk the way that he just did to her. He sounded like a completely different person. I didn't even realize that he had came in the door and i don't think that anyone else did either. And worse yet he wasn't alone. He had Dom with him.
Nicco brought a stool over for me to set on. And as Nonna got ice for my face and my knuckles the cops showed up. Nicco went and got a copy of the cameras that showed from the time that they showed up, until i came in and hit her back. To give to the cops.
After they took everyone's statements and finally left i was no longer hungry. I was just sleepy and in pain and just wanted to go back to bed. But as is my life i wasn't allowed to do that.
It was decided that because of how bad the swelling was in my face, and the fact that i wanted to go back to sleep. That i needed to go to the hospital to get checked out to make sure i was ok.
The last place i wanted to go was the hospital and spend all damn day. I just wanted to sleep.
