Player (A Bryshere Gray Story)

Chapter 61: Can't have everything

I jumped up at my house phone ringing. I tiredly leaned over answering it.

"Hello" I yawned.

"Tee, Rashad got arrested. I've been calling you" he said loudly.

"Wait what? I asked again confused. "Rashad got arrested for fighting this white man, he's downtown" he added.

I quickly hung up, I didn't even know who it was telling me this. I felt my heart sink down my chest. Fighting? Uhh I knew it, I had a feeling something was going to happen tonight. I just felt it in my soul, my tuition was calling and I was right. I grabbed my phone looking at missed calls from Tyriq. I quickly called him trying not to cry.

"Tyriq" I called trying not to cry. "Hey sis, hey got bro in the pen. He needs bail to get out" he said upset talking to people in the back.

I ran my hands through my hair. "Where is he? I whined.

"County Jail"

"What did he even do? I asked quickly putting on a jacket. "Apparently he punched an officer in the face" he explained. My eyes widened and I grew furious. "What the fuck? I screamed. I specifically told him to stop putting himself in situations like this. "I'm about to get him, he's granted bail" he said.

"No, I'll get him" I said. "No, I don't want you out here this time of night. It's 4 in the morning" he said.

"How much? I asked. "A thousand" he said. I began crying uncontrollably sitting on the couch. "Tee, just calm down. We gotta get a lawyer, apparently there were witnesses there" he said calmly.

"I'll meet you there" I said quickly leaving the house.

I had to be doing 80 on the highway. I was 30 minutes away and I just wanted to get to him, to get the full story. I was so scared, when things start getting good between us, here's some more bullshit. A cop though? This could be a serious charge? What was he thinking? I turned up the music trying to clear my thoughts, but it didn't help.

I arrived at the jail pulling up front but behind what looked like Tyriq's car. I was still furious and tried to calm down. 15 minutes later, I saw him walk towards Tyriq. I sighed watching them talk for what seemed like forever. I didn't want to interrupt him but this curiosity was torture. Finally, he walked towards the car. I unlocked the doors waiting for him to get in. He opened the door getting in, he gently closed it. I looked over at him and he didn't say anything. I bit my tongue trying not to say anything until he spoke first. I figured he didn't want to talk about it but there's no getting around this conversation. I pulled off turning the music up. DVSN-tek time was playing and I instantly changed it. I didn't need any soft r&b playing that would get me in my feelings.

When we arrived home, he instantly got out. I angrily locked the doors, I walked behind him. "What happened? I asked.

"I punched a white man in the face, turns out it was the cop that pulled us over son" he said nonchalantly. My jaw dropped, what kind of coincidence was this?

"Not to mention he's a cop too" he added. When he said that, I felt all the common sense leave my body. Here I am 7 months pregnant and this idiot doesn't know how to avoid confrontation. I pulled his arm "What the hell is wrong with you? I snapped.

"Don't touch me" he said entering the house.

"Uh, I just don't understand you. I knew it, I felt like some shit was going to go down that's why I wanted you home" I whined.

"I know; I didn't expect this shit to happen" he said going in the kitchen.

"But it could've been prevented. No one told you to go fighting people. You never fucking listen and you always put yourself in a shitty predicament" I whined following him.
