Ice Water

I feel disappointed with the progress on my exercising.  I need to find out how tall I am and how much I weigh so that I can at least see if I am doing any good at all.  But that is an issue that I can deal with later.  Now I must deal with the police.  Wednesday the twelfth was Robert’s and my one full year together.  We ran around town and I took him out to share a pita and some ice water at the Acoustic Cafe.  That night I snuck in to his room and we lay together all night.  In the morning I got up and went to school.  Then on Friday I went to school and then after that I went and picked up Robert.  That night he stayed over at my house.  Around 1:00 we left my house to go to the barber for Robert and to drop my brother at my mom’s.  After Robert got his hair cut we went back to Monta’s Apartment and picked up Eli.  I then drove the three of us to Robert’s house where we hung around for awhile.  After sometime had passed Robert, Ross, Ryland, Eli, and Emily decided to go to the park.  So we all drove down there and played baseball/softball.  When Ryland, whom is the youngest boy and whom is Robert’s step-brother, pitched the ball to Ross, whom is Robert’s younger real brother, He hit it and it went straight back at Ryland, hitting him in the arm.  Both my brother Eli and Robert laughed, along with Ross.  Ryland then began to cry, so they all went quiet and Eli went over to see if Ryland was ok. His arm was fine just a little sore, but he pouted and walked home anyway to go tell on everyone.  Between 7 and 8 we arrived back at the house where Ross had to go upstairs to talk with the step father, Steve.  Ross came down stairs and said that he was not in trouble but, that Robert was for laughing.  I was pissed because of the bullshit.  Robert came downstairs, angry, and told us that we weren’t allowed over anymore over night, and that I was only allowed over for short visits.  He told his mother as much and she went upstairs.  It didn’t appear that she did anything about it though, because she came down stairs and then went outside right away to smoke a cigarette.  Then Steve came down the stairs, beer on hand, and he wandered into the kitchen, which is divided from the dinning room by a kitchen island.  Then he turned to Robert and started up the old argument.  Robert said that he was always treated differently and he pointed out the fact that he had to pay for all his shit when the younger kids were spoiled.  They argued over the fact that Robert should respect Steve and some point around there Robert just turned away to leave.  Steve jeered at him don’t go off and cry now and Robert turn around and said no fuck you and then Steve said yeah fight me now.  I told Steve that at that point he was just being an asshole and we all walked to leave the house.  Unfortunately we did not make it to my car before this three hundred plus pound man came at Robert.  At Robert’s feet was a rake that had been used earlier to clean up the yard.  He picked it up and held it in a defensive position in front of him to get something between him and Steve.  Steve grabbed the rake and as they shuffled around he swung at Robert’s face with his right hand hitting Robert on the left side of the face.  Steve got Robert in a sort of head lock but Robert twisted out and he punched Steve splitting open his face and later giving him a worse black eye than Steve gave him.  But after Robert hit him Steve backed off enough for Robert to throw the rake in Steve’s direction.  Steve picked up the rake and then ran after Robert smacking him in the legs and knocking his hat off.  Once again Steve backed off and we all got in my car.  He pointed at Eli and me and told us he was filling reports on us and then told all three of us never to come back.  He came up to the window and tried to open the door to Robert but I had locked it the moment we had gotten in.  He then went around the back of my car and hit it with his fist leaving a large dent in my trunk door.  We left in a hurry and then coming into Winona ran into my father who gave us gas money and told us to go file reports in Alma.  At Alma they let us fill out report and then they arrested Robert as the primary offender because he had picked up the rake before he was hit.  Plus the cop who charged him didn’t even read our reports before charging him.  He only went and talked to Steve first.  And Steve lied his ass off.  He said that I charged him with my car causing him to hit my car and that Robert had been swinging at him with the rake.  That dumb fucking asshole better hope I never get near him with a knife…I will make him a woman.  And Robert’s mother really needs to wake up.  Through the entire damn fight she just watched on the porch.  Great mother she is.  I had to take Robert home because of her.  For two day he stayed with us but on Monday I had to take him back to his house.  Good thing Steve hasn’t touched him or else I would have to do some damage.</
