Wicked Games (Urban) Book 7 | The Sideline Series

Chapter 11

Theodore III

I walked upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut. I can't believe Lindsey would act like I wasn't sitting on her bed. I came to ask her something important that Mr. Curry wanted me and Aubrey to ask, but i guess that's not going to happen since she wants to act like a...Shit. I'm not even gonna call her a bitch, but she's acting like one right about now. And Aubrey is too, all caught up in his feelings and sprung over crazy ass Lindsey. This niggas' nose is wide open for her and he doesn't even realize what's going on around him. 

As soon as we got in my car, he started going in on me about how I should be a supportive brother to her no matter what happens and if the family was feeling a certain way about Lindsey, I shouldn't have spilled the beans. Shit, I was just telling her the truth. Mama and Pops have never come out and said they're tired of her making excuses and being weak, but I know I am, so I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling this way. And Aubrey doesn't even know half of what's going on in my family to even speak on this situation. He should have just left shit alone instead of getting involved.

And then he had the audacity to try and comfort my sister after she punched me in my fucking nose. She's out of her damn mind, especially since I had to go to the hospital and get stitches because of her. Lindsey is crazy and Aubrey shouldn't have been trying to comfort her. She was the only that hurt me and sent me to the hospital, I'm the one that needed to be comforted but I had something for his ass as soon as I pulled up at his house. If he wants to stab me in my back and take my sisters' side over mine, then that little invitation to the junior prom of hers is null and void. He can't take my sister to the dance because she doesn't deserve to go.

If she wasn't so weak back in high school, she would have grew some balls and went to her prom. Nobody told her not to go. Mama and Pops even offered to take care of Daniel for the night if she went but she declined, and now years later, she thinks she's going to go to my junior prom to relive her high school memories that she didn't accomplish. She's really out of her mind if she thinks she's going to steal my shine at my own dance.

Since I was at the hospital, and I was still a minor, I had to call Mama and Pops. Aubrey's big mouthed ass went and told them everything I said and I got in trouble. They all ganged up on me talking about how I wasn't being a good brother to Lindsey just because I told her the truth. I'm tired of sparing her feelings because she's too weak to handle what's going on around her. She needs to grow up and deal with what happened to her. I know it's traumatic and it hurt her badly but she can't keep being afraid to live her life just because of a few lousy niggas that ain't even around anymore.

Pops grounded me. He didn't take my phone or nothing yet, but I know that's coming later tonight. I don't know why he was so pissed off about what I said to her when he was the one who said he wanted to see Lindsey come out of her shell. He just put what I said in a nicer way. Maybe I shouldn't have come off so harsh and maybe I should have taken in account her feelings, but I'm tired of constantly hiding the truth to spare her feelings. I've spared her feelings for seven years but I'm tired of doing it and I refuse to do it from here on out. If Lindsey can't grow the hell up, then she's gonna hear my opinion every chance I get.

I think what I'm doing is just being in control of the situation. Lindsey's too weak to take control and obviously my parents are too if they can't come out and tell her the truth, so I had to. In my best Stevie J impression, I'm the good guy. I really am the good guy. I don't want to see my sister hurting, that's why I told her the truth. Lindsey just needs some tough love. I'm sure she'll come running back to me one of these days. Her, Aubrey, Willie and my parents will see where I'm coming from and will all be begging me for reconciliation. 

"Theodore!" Mama yelled as she barged into my room without even knocking.

I quickly turned around from my closet. "Dang Mama, you can't knock?" I sucked my teeth.
