Chapter Five

“What happened?” Merica asked her mom the second her mom opened the door and she saw her battered face.

Merica hadn’t wanted to come, but her mom had been crying over the phone this morning at seven a.m. She hurried over, second-guessing her decision along the way, but her mom sounded so desperate and upset. Now, as she entered the kitchen from the back door, she saw her mother dressed in a skirt and flimsy top, her breasts showing, her hair done up, but her face battered and bruised.

“Rodge. He’s been going out late. Came home all drunk and things got out of hand.”

“What do you mean out of hand?”

“He was raging. I pushed him over his limit.”

She knew what that meant. He’d struck her mom, and she was making excuses.

“Where is he now?”

“Passed out downstairs in the basement.”

Merica looked that way.

“Why are you letting him stick around?”

“Oh, don’t start that with me, Merica. He’s my boyfriend. I love him, and he loves me. He just drank too much.”

“What do you want me to do? I can’t help you if you don’t want to help yourself. Why the hell am I even here?”

“There you are.” She heard Rodge’s voice and turned to see him standing in front of the back door she’d just come through. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked hung over, with his shirt unbuttoned, as he looked her over, licking his lips.

“You did this to her?”

“That’s none of your business. A man has the power and control in the house and over his woman. She denies him, talks back, asks too many questions, and she gets what’s coming to her. Needs to learn her place.” He walked over toward her mom, Michelle, and placed his hands on her shoulders. He, of course, looked Merica over and smiled. “You look really good. He’ll like that.”

She didn’t know what he meant.

“Me too right? I’m doing what you wanted and we’re good now?” her mom asked, actually bowing down to this jerk of a man.

“She’s making up for it now though. You’ll be great, baby, like always.” He rocked his hips against her mom’s ass.

“I’m leaving.” Merica went to walk forward, but then Rodge got in her way and put his hand up as if he were going to place it on her shoulder. She stepped back.

“Met some friends of yours last night. They got themselves in a jam,” he said.

She squinted at him. She was nervous and knew something was up. Why had she bothered to come here? This man, and what he did to her mother, was why she avoided getting involved with any men herself. They could seem nice or just commanding, and they strike.

“Made me three grand, though, on a bet.”

“What friends?” Merica asked.

“Oh, those two men your friend is fucking. They got all banged up last night. Won their fight but now they have heavies on their asses. They caused a bunch of shit, and I can’t get my bet in on them winning their next one.
