5 The Brawl Chapter 5

My teenage days had turned into the real life version of Grand Theft Auto almost overnight. Days and nights had blurred into one large unpredictable event. Never knowing what comes with each rising and fall of the moon. From brawls consisting of bats, knifes, crow bars, and golf clubs across the street from the middle school in broad daylight to stealing cars all night, driving untill we ran outta gas, then just boosting another and droving that one till E! Over and over all night every night, going on high speed chases -On Purpose-no relevance just for the hype.

As we were driving around town one day, Lil Peetie asked me to turn on the street of our local middle school. As i was slowly going over a speed bump on this bright and sunny day, a little rock came flying out of the air from across the street and landed directly on our windshield! CRACK! "What the fuck was that!?" Our friend Benny bellowed out in confusion from the back seat as i pulled the little two door car to an immediate hault! A tiny little crack appering on the middle of our windshield. As soon as i had put the car into park- Little Peetie, his friend Benny, his sister Geneva and one of his older brothers, Jessie, all came barreling out of the car into the middle of the street. At the same moment , one by one-out of the house across the street from the empty out of session middle school, came eight of the local tough gang members. Each caring a different weapon, golf club, baseball bat, machete. Last out of the front door came a skinny red head girl in a black leather jacket swinging a crow bar! Was this really about to go down? Lil Peetie assertively told me to stay in the car and keep it running! I pulled the car up and around as i watched wide eyed and nervous.The fight broke out immediately! Jessie and Benny were back to back fending of two each. Lil Pettie came in knocking guys down! Geneva went straight towards the skinny red head with the crow bar and all i seen was the leather jacket running into the house! The brawl was a sort of organized chaos at first, people getting punched and hit, falling to the ground like a real life action movie! Then i seen it- what looked like was the gangster appears to be giving Jessie a hug? Both his arm were wrapped around Jessies waste and lower back. Immediately the hug came to a quick end as the gangster in a black zip-up sweater turned around to run away. As Benny helped Jessie towards me and the car, I watched as the red haired girl came flying out of the house swinging the crow bar directly at Geneva! SWISH-SWISH-SWISH- The sound of the rusty bent bar slicing the air as the leather jacket girl advanced towards Geneva fervently. As soon as the girl and the bar were in range to make contact with Peeties sister, Geneva reached out with an open hand and snatched the crow bar from the red head with such a force, it caused the girl to fall backwards-flat on her ass. Immediately she tried to get up. Placing both her hands on the ground behind her, as she attempted to push herself back up, Geneva, towering over her, crow bar in hand, stomped her right foot forward, pushing her chest and shoulders out for a split second as she spit a fat loogie on the ground directly next to the now frightened girl, then rolled her shoulders forward. The nonverbal communication between the two females said it all without any sound. The frightened girl scrambled on her hands and knees now back towards the front door. Diverting Genevas attention was Benny yelling frantically that Jessie was bleeding! "HES BLEEDING! OH FUCK THERE'S BLOOD! JESSIE GOT STUCK-OH FUCK JESSIE GOT STUCK!" was all i could hear as i reached over to open the passenger door for the two boys rushing towards the car. Jessie was limping with one arm over Bennys shoulder, blood leaking from his side. I couldn't quite reach the handle so i just said fuck it and pushed open the door with my will! Benny didnt even notice as he flung the seat up with one hand, his other arm around Jessies waste. "HES BLEEDING, OH FUCK MAN HES BLEEDING OH FUCK!" Shouts from behind me as Benny adjusted himself and a woosie Jessie in the back seat. My eyes darted back and forth between Lil Peetie and his sister. In the front lawn was Lil Peetie, back towards me, swinging violently, each blow making direct contact with his assailant. Its two on one and One seems to be winning.Then something happened? Lil Peetie blocked a hit from one thug, and went to swing on the other when from afar i hear a little "click" and watched as Piotreks shoulder just dislocated! He grabbed his arm trying to hold up his shoulder, then took a few swings at his assailants as he stepped backwards in defence. Geneva is on the other side of the house in front of the garage still holding the crow bar. The guy who was "hugging" Jessie was about five feet in front of her. Her and the crow bar was all that stood between him and the front door. They mirrored one another hecticly. With each step side to side the two opponents each tried to defend thier selfs. Geneva blocking the black zip up hoodie from going inside, and the gangster boy defending himself from letting the extremely angry sister whos brother he just stabbed, get ahold of him! Frantically I look back towards Piotrek and now hes being backed up by three assailants while still holding his arm! With each step backwards i see the three men approach. I glanced around quickly, noticing everyone else busy and not paying attention, so i concentrated on the golf club laying near by. Ever so slyly it slid across the yard, coming to a dead stop behind Lil Peetie. Almost as if he knew it were there, before taking another step back and tripping over it, he bent down swiftly and picked up the weapon. As he came up, with one heavy blow he swung the golf club and made contact with the one on the end -One handed. As the club made contact with the thugs side,BOOM CRACK-he grabbed his ribs and heaved to the ground in pain! Lil Peetie held the club over his head with one hand, clearly ready to pass out from the pain of the dislocated shoulder, when we hear a loud shrek from the garage. Everyone turned to look at the violently horrific action currently taking place. Geneva had the gangster backed up to the garage door. The thug had both hands up trying to block his face, shreaking in horrendous horror as the older sister avenged her stabbed brother. We all watched wide mouthed, i personally in shock, as Geneva went back for another blow. With the crow bar she lifted it above her head, then heaving it down with such angry force. Striking the previous knife stabber over and over with the crow bar. Lacerations appearing all over his hands, face and behind his ears. Blood leaking from his head and his hands. Geneva screaming like a wild banshee as she took her revenge! Everything happened so quickly, all the gangsters took thier opportunities to leave the brawl and scramble back inside. Lil Peetie rushed to his older sisters side and put an end to vicious defence. The knife stabber layed defeated, bleeding and crying on the cement up against the garage. Benny is holding Jessies laying body in the back seat as Lil Peetie and his older sister rush towards the car. Geneva hops in the back and immediately starts to examine her brother! Piotrek slams the passenger seat back as he slides into the car closing the door just as i speed out of there.

"OH MY GOD THE KNIFE! ITS STILL IN HERE! IT'S OKAY JESSIE, ITS OKAY BROTHER! IM GOING TO PULL THE KNIFE OUT! IM GOING TO PULL THE KNIFE OUT! ARE YOU READY? ARE YOU READY?" Geneva exclaimed loudly with a mixture of fear and confidence in her voice. Piotrek told me to get us to the Emergency Room as soon as his sister said she was pulling out the knife. He knew there would be more blood. He took his shirt off and handed it back to Benny instructing him to be ready to block the blood flow when Geneva pulled out the knife. As i was racing through the streets to the ER i could see Piotrek in my peripherals falling out. I concentrated and concentrated on having a wheelchair and a doctor with a stretcher out waiting for us.Just as i pulled up to the large electronic doors, Lil Peetie passed out. Sure enough however, out came rushing a few nurses and doctors with a wheelchair and hospital bed. I jumped out of the driver seat and went to help them get Jessie on the stretcher after putting Piotrek in the wheelchair. It had been an intense situation. In the end Jessie got twelve stitches and Piotrek had his shoulder popped back into the socket. The doctors were suprised he had stayed awake as long as he did. Apparently its such an intense pain it is extremely difficult to not pass out! While we were at the hospital two of the gangsters showed up. We over heard that the thug Geneva has struck with the crow bar ended up getting air lifted to a more prestigious hospital capable of handling his lacerations. As soon as the brothers were stitched up and bandaged, Lil Peetie rushed us out of there! As we left the parking lot, we passed two police cars pulling in. "Close call." stated Benny in the back seat watching the Red and Blue lights flashing. Geneva holding on to her brother, Jessie who was slumped against the window passed out from the medication. Piotrek slouched down in the passanger seat, reached over and interlocked his fingers in mine, holding my hand as we sped back to town.
