The Tales Next Door

Jadiel POV

Placing my hands on the direct tv device while my brother holds the remote control, he kept a trying to press the button when I told him already Tanya I don’t want no stupid programmed romance program cause I was waiting to watch a movie on Chanel 6, he kept trying to click the button till he finally threw it at me, taking it I ran to the front of the house to jump to the first floor, I will get back to my room where my siblings would be away on their practice for baseball any minute now, landing on the floor, I hear grandma yell, “Jay! Jay! Take it easy boy!” I jog to the main sidewalk, as I answered her, “blessings!” She laughed, “God protect you my boy, don’t be late for supper!” I smiled knowing she meant well, when I get older I’m giving her the world, grandparents should love forever, at least mine should. After a bit I started to walk as I saw the house where my future wife visits not so frequently.

Chelle POV

Closing the door to my grandpas kitchen I walked to the living room that’s right next to it, Loli was watching her program as usual, I didn’t care because even I knew how she felt about me, she hated me for the same reason she hated my dad. We weren’t hers, we where her now ex-husband, but dad had nowhere to go, he was broke after moms sudden funeral, my grandmother was fighting to have us in her care but by the state of law she needed to retire from her job as a social worker, my uncle didn’t want kids, he was happy with his husband, draw your own conclusions. “Hey close the door, having more kids around here like this is a daycare center,” I didn’t dare reply her cause her actitud can get out of line real quick.

Loli was short for Lorena, but she hates her name so she makes everyone call her Loli, even the freaking courtroom when she has to go to stuff like that. I went straight to do that and shook the door to which just pissed her off again. “Your going to freaking break the damn door you moron!” I smiled knowing grandpa heard her, loud and clear cause I can see him getting up from his sofa chair that’s out in the garage where it sits right in front of his man cave big tv set, holding a beer can he shouts at Loli, “what’s all this?” He looked at me with a sweet smile when I opened my mouth to say, “Loli has a temper,” I could feel her right behind me but wasn’t expecting to feel a smack of her slipper on my bottoms, grandpa tries to enter the house when I have the door locked to which he screams, “open this fucking door Lorena!” She pulls me to the living room then opens the door where I heard a hard bang in the kitchen, “you want to try that again on my Barbie princess?” Grandpa threatens Loli who starts to stutter, “she, she was trying to get me this way, she is the culprit why would I? Ja why would I hit her? For being a bastards child? Well she should know here place!” I was done hearing her argue over stupid shit, so my dad is a child out of wedlock. Big deal! She knew my grandpa was a man-hore and married him anyways, why bully his kids who have it bad already. For fucks sakes.
