It is a few months later now. Around 12:00 noon one day, Missy is at work at the elementary school. She is talking in the hallway with her co-worker Raymond. Raymond's girlfriend Kathy, who is around 32-years old, suddenly shows up from around the corner. She sees Missy and Raymond talking and smiling in the hallway. She becomes upset. She does not like the idea of Raymond and Missy being such close friends. Kathy thinks that Missy is too close with her man, so she goes to confront Missy. She approaches Missy. Missy and Raymond turn to look as Kathy starts to shout, "MISSY DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY MAN? HUH? DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT?"
"NOW CUT IT OUT KATHY, "Raymond shouts! "NOT INSIDE THE SCHOOL ALRIGHT?"
"LISTEN KATHY," Missy starts to shout! "RAYMOND AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS! WE WORK TOGETHER! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE SUCH A DARN PROBLEM WITH THAT! YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP BEING SO INSECURE! THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN ME AND RAYMOND, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT BULL," Kathy shouts! Raymond tries to calm Kathy down as Kathy continues to shout, "JUST STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN OR ELSE YOU'LL BE SORRY!"
Raymond grabs onto Kathy! He tells Missy, "I'll be right back," as he starts to walk away and pull Kathy with him. Missy stares at them as they walk away. After Raymond and Kathy disappear around the corner, Missy walks away and goes towards a classroom.
A few hours later at the end of the school day, Missy and the rest of the school staff are about to leave the school. Raymond comes and approaches Missy. He tells her, "Look Missy, I'm so sorry for what happened a little while ago. I'm sorry for Kathy's behavior. I had to straighten her out. I told Kathy there is nothing going on between me and you! I keep telling her that but she still does not want to hear of it! I told Kathy to just go home and not to ever come back inside the school again! I told her whenever she wants to see me, she's just going to have to wait until I get home! I don't need her coming here to the school making a scene! I told Kathy from now on, just wait until I get home to see me! I walked her to the bus stop. I waited there to make sure she got on that bus!"
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Well I'm glad you told her that Raymond! I'm glad she got on the bus!"
"Well you don't have to worry about her coming back here bothering you anymore Missy. She went home."
"Good. I hope she stays there too. Okay Raymond, I'm gonna get ready to leave now."
"Okay Missy. I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Okay Raymond. Take care. Now are you sure Kathy got on that bus? Because she had confronted me a couple of times before when I had left out of here. She and her two girlfriends had confronted me when I was on my way home. I really don't need to be bothered with them Raymond."
"Oh don't worry Missy. Like I said, I walked Kathy to the bus stop and waited there to make sure she got on that bus and she did."
"Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow Raymond."
"Okay Missy. By."
"By Raymond." Missy turns around and starts to head towards the exit. She reaches the exit and leaves the school building, heading towards the bus stop.
As Missy is walking towards the bus stop, Kathy and two women friends Rose, a white-Hispanic female who is around 31 years old, and Sandra, a black female who is around 32 years old, suddenly appear out of nowhere! Kathy starts to jump and shout all in Missy's face, accusing Missy of trying to steal her man! She starts to violently shove Missy! A couple of Missy's co-workers see the commotion! They go to break it up! Kathy angrily starts to turn around and walk away with her two women friends following right behind her! Missy's co-workers asks, "Are you alright Missy?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Missy says.
"Come on," her co-workers tell her. "We'll walk you to the bus stop." Missy starts to walk away with her co-workers to the bus stop.
Missy soon reaches home. She goes and tells her family about what happened at the school. She tells her grandmother Gracy and the rest of the family about Kathy's behavior. She tells them all, "Kathy is still accusing me of trying to steal her man and it's not true! Raymond and I are just friends and co-workers, but Kathy still does not seem to want to believe or understand it! Every time Kathy confronts me, she would always have her two women friends with her!"
"What two women friends?" Gracy asks. "Rose and Sandra? The ones you told us about before?"
"Yeah, those two! I'm sick and tired of them Grandma! I'm sick and tired of them all keep jumping in my face, accusing me of trying to steal Raymond and I'm not!"
"Well if this Kathy keeps harassing you, I'm going to press harassment charges against her and her buddies myself! You can tell them that I said that too!" Gracy turns and angrily walks away towards the kitchen.
It is a few days later now. It is the end of the school day. Missy starts to leave the school. She leaves the school and heads towards the bus stop. As Missy is walking down the street, Kathy and her two women friends Rose and Sandra appear out of nowhere again. They all come and confront Missy outside on the street again. This time, they have an older, taller male black with them! Kathy and her three buddies start yelling and swearing at Missy! Missy starts to yell back and shout, "LISTEN KATHY! GET OUT OF MY FACE ALRIGHT! I AM TIRED OF YOUR BULL AND NONSENSE!" Kathy yells back again! Ugly words start to exchange between Missy and Kathy! All of a sudden, Kathy takes her fist and strikes Missy real hard in the face! Missy becomes angry and strikes Kathy back! She and Kathy get into a heavy physical fight! Then, Kathy's two women friends jump into the fight! They all start to beat on Missy real bad! They brutally attack Missy, punching and kicking all over her! Suddenly, the guy that is with them jumps into the fight! He also strikes Missy in the face and starts to beat on her! Missy is being jumped by four people! She is being kicked real hard and pushed to the ground very viciously! Kathy and her Mends continue to beat and attack Missy! A crowd starts to gather! They try to break up the fight! They pull Kathy and her buddies off of Missy! Missy continues to lie on the ground! The people in the crowd try to help her up! Missy angrily gets up off the ground! Her nose is bleeding! Her face is bruised! She is very angry! She cries as she tries to get back at Kathy, but the crowd holds her back! The crowd continues to hold on to a bloodied and bruised Missy as she struggles to free herself! The crowd then leads Missy back towards the school, trying to protect her from Kathy and Kathy's buddies! After a short while, the school guard offers to take Missy home in his car.
Missy soon arrives home. Her face is all bloodied and bruised. She comes into a house full of family and relatives! She is crying! She is screaming! She is hysterical! She is angry! Her family and relatives all rush to her! They see Missy's nose bleeding! They see her face all bruised! Missy cries and screams to her family and relatives, "I HAD JUST BEEN JUMPED BY KATHY, RAYMOND'S GIRLFRIEND!"
"WHAT," Missy's family and relatives angrily shout!
"YEAH! I WAS JUMPED BY KATHY AND A FEW OF HER FRIENDS! KATHY CAME UP TO ME OUTSIDE ON THE STREET WHILE I WAS WALKING TO THE BUS STOP! SHE STARTED YELLING AND SCREAMING HER HEAD OFF AT ME! THEN SHE PUNCHED ME RIGHT IN THE FACE! THEN HER TWO FRIENDS ROSE AND SANDRA JUMPED INTO THE FIGHT AND STARTED BEATING ON ME! THEN THEIR FRIEND DEREK PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE AND HE STARTED BEATING ON ME TOO! ALL FOUR OF THEM WERE BEATING ON ME, PUSHING ME AND KNOCKING ME DOWN TO THE GROUND!"
Dana soon comes down the staircase wearing a maroon sweater shirt, a maroon miniskirt, black stockings and her hair all loose out. She sees and hears all the commotion! She approaches her family as they all shout and surround Missy! Dana looks at Missy! She sees Missy all bloodied and bruised! She angrily shouts, "WHAT HAPPENED MISSY?"
"KATHY AND HER FRIENDS HAD STARTED FIGHTING AND BEATING ON ME! KATHY STILL ACCUSES ME OF TRYING TO STEAL HER MAN! SHE CAME UP TO ME OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL AND STARTED SCREAMING AND YELLING AT ME! THEN SHE STRUCK ME REAL HARD IN THE FACE! THE TWO WOMEN THAT WERE WITH HER ALSO STARTED TO BEAT AND JUMP ON ME! THEN THE GUY THAT WAS WITH THEM HAD PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE AND JUMPED INTO THE FIGHT! HE STARTED BEATING ON ME TOO! THEY PUSHED ME AND KICK
ED ME TO THE GROUND! KATHY IS ALWAYS TRYING TO CAUSE TROUBLE FOR ME AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF IT!"
The family hearing this and seeing how upset Missy is becomes very angry, especially Dana! They start to scream and shout all over the place! Dana, who is very protective of her sisters, becomes very, very angry! She shouts to Missy, "WHERE THE HELL IS KATHY AND HER FRIENDS AT NOW?"
"I last saw them outside near the school," Missy cries!
Dana angrily storms out of the living room and races up the staircase! Missy and around 19 to 20 family members and relatives scream and race up the staircase after Dana, shouting, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING DANA?" Dana ignoring her family and relatives storms right into one of the bedrooms! Her family and relatives storm into the bedroom right behind her!
Outside the house, Gracy is riding in the back of a car. She is coming home from shopping with Londa, one of the triplets and another granddaughter named Lisa, who is driving the car. Lisa, who is around 25 years old, drives to the house and pulls in front of it. She then stops the car. Lisa, Londa and Gracy all come out of the car carrying packages. They start to walk outside towards the house. They reach the house and unlock the front door. As they walk inside the house, they hear a loud commotion, loud screaming and loud banging going on upstairs! Gracy closes the front door as they all look stunned at one another. Gracy suddenly shouts, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON UP THERE?"
Lisa and Londa drop the packages and rush up the staircase! Gracy puts her packages down! She starts to rush towards the staircase. As she is about to go up the stairs, Dana who is now wearing a white turtleneck shirt with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, stone-washed blue jeans, a pair of black sneakers and a long thick braid hanging down her back, suddenly bursts down the staircase pass her, almost knocking Gracy down! Dana's family continues to storm right behind her as they pull on to her, but she violently jerks away from them! Gracy seeing all of this starts to shout, "DANA! WHAT'S GOING ON?"
Dana ignoring her grandmother storms right into the front closet! She bends down inside the closet and comes back out with a baseball bat! A few family members try to comfort Gracy as the rest of the family tries to control Dana! Gracy again shouts, "DANA! DANA!" Dana continues to ignore her grandmother and storms right out of the house with the baseball bat! Her family and Missy storms right out of the house behind her! Dana then hops into her vehicle with several family members and relatives, including Missy and their brothers Sammy and Thomas! Lisa, Londa and some other family members hop into a second car! Landa and some other family members and relatives hop into a third car! Gracy runs out of the house screaming behind them all, trying to find out what's going on! She continues to call out, "DANA! DANA! DANA!"
Dana still ignoring her grandmother pulls off very fast with her family and relatives shouting, "GO GO GO!"
Lisa and several other family members pull off very fast in the next car, following Dana! The third car then pulls off and follows! They all pull off into the street as Gracy continues to run and call out, "DANA! DANA! DANA!"
Dana and her family members screech the cars real loudly down the street then turning a corner, leaving Gracy standing in front of the house worrying about what's going on or what's going to happen!
