Alex
The moment I saw Tracy's brother I knew I was in big trouble, his eyes were spitting fire at me, before I could even think of what to say at all he lunged at me punching me right in the face, I staggered falling against my car but he didn't stop, he punched me continuously until I can taste my blood.
I know Cole is mad at me because of what happened with Tracy so I didn't try to defend or protect myself, I could hear Tracy screaming at him to stop, but he didn't, he punched me till I dropped on the floor, I was thankful when it was finally over, well I thought it was over until he grabbed my shirt again.
"You best stay away from my sister or I'd break your arms and legs." He threatened
"Cole, you can beat me up all you want, but then if you are threatening me with breaking my arms and legs the. I guess I'd be disabled soon because I'm not leaving my wife and children, I'm fighting for them till the very end." I said earning another punch.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today." He said, he brought out his phone and called someone
"Come to my house, Tracy is in danger." He said and I frowned
"In danger?" I asked and he glared at me
"Yes in danger, you signed your death certificate by coming back." He pulled me up and he punched me again.
A car drove in and parked so fast that I thought the driver was drunk, he got out of the car and rushed to Tracy, it was Lewis, Tracy's eldest brother, it was then I understood what Cole meant by death certificate because if I don't die today I'd be hospitalized for weeks.
"Tracy, are you okay? Why are you crying" He asked turning her around as if checking for injury?
"Lewis tell him to stop."
"Tell who to stop?"
"Cole, please Cole is going to kill him."
"Kill who?" Lewis asked and Tracy pointed, he turned to look at us and when his eyes met mine I knew I was dead meat.
"Tiana, take Tracy inside." He said right before he came for me, the two brothers beat the daylight out of me, the last thing I remember was Tracy yelling no as another punch from Lewis knocked me out.
I woke up later feeling pain all over me, I couldn't even move and I could barely keep my eyes open, everything felt very painful, the only thing that felt good was the warm hand in my hand.
"Tracy?" I called, I barely heard myself but she heard me
"Alex? Alex are you awake?" She asked coming closer
"I'm not dead?"
"Alex, why didn't you leave there? Why did you let them beat up you like this?" She cried
"They won't let me see you if I had run Tracy, they won't let me see my kids too," I said and she cried harder
"You should have done something, were you planning on making the kids fatherless?"
"Where are they? I hope they didn't see me getting beaten up?"
"Tiana sent them back inside the moment before Cole punched you."
"Oh, that's good then, what did the doctor say?."
"You have two broken ribs, a broken arm, and a lot of bumps and bruises, they almost shaved your hair."
"My precious hair, they are lucky they didn't shave it."
"And what would you have done?"
