What can I say, two nights, two different dramas. The first one started the other day. Ricky came behind me and Michelle and scared us. We both told him that it wasn't funny. He then gets mad that Michelle talked back to him. *the hell he think he is?* He then says that we're lucky Angela didn't hear that or she would've whooped on her. I then am offended. I tell him that he and Angela ain't gonna do $#!t. Rick then says he'll hold me back while she beats her up. *angela then walks in* Rick actually tries to hold me back. I break out of this hold he has me in. He then trips me. I then get back up and Rick has his hands up like we're gonna fight. They eventually go outside and tell my mom that I am trippin cause I can't take a joke and Michelle was talking smack to him. *?!* My mom then takes Rick's side. I go and try to talk to my mom and her and ricky start to intensly talk about me and Michelle. I tell my mom that she don't even know what happened. She don't care. She likes Rick at the moment so takes his side. At that point, I am mad that he threatened Michelle. I am also sad because everyone had jumped on my back for nothing and I was powerless to do anything about it. I cry intensly in my room out of nowhere. Michelle and I take a walk. We talk about things. She makes me feel better. We then go to sleep.

Fast forward to tonight. *after finals and around 10PM* We just got back and I'm trying to get on my mom's good side. I take out the trash and offer to do the dishes. My mom is happy about that and things seem like they're gonna be alright. Michelle offers to help me with the kitchen. She offers to do the dishes while I clean off the stove. I then remark how Michelle always seems to give me the dirtier jobs and stuff. She gets pissed off and storms to her room. She couldn't have picked a worse time. My mom and Lorenzo start telling Vanessa how it's a women's duty to clean and blah blah blah. *teaching her the poisionous thoughts about gender roles* They then start talking about how people *meaning Michelle* need to show thier appreciation by cleaning like thier suppose to. I then but in and tell them that they should apprecite that we do alot. Just because they don't see how tired we are after doing essays and studying for finals, they expect us to clean everything because at the moment we aren't working. *college is it's own job in my opinion* Lorenzo then comes into the kitchen. He tries to lecture me about how I need to train Michelle how to clean. That I shouldn't be cleaning the stove. I then tell him we have an equal loving relationship. He then tries to tell me she came to use me. *yeah right, what do i have here, a worse house than her and worse family* He and then my mom try to imply that maybe there is more to Michelle than I see. That she is controling me and that she's running away from some ex boyfriend. I then tell them they don't know anything, they just think they do because they are older. They then continue to double team me and I continue to defend Michelle. *despite the fact she is in the room angry because what I said* So then, if that isn't enough, they follow me to my room where michelle is face down in her blanket. They start to say she needs to clean and appreciate or move. In fact, Just MOVE! They insist we both go to L.A. and just live there. I ask my mom if she is throwing me out. SHe says no but she don't want michelle to live there. *at that point, I'm on whatever mode* They eventually leave still talking about me and her. After that she is face down in the blanket crying. I told her that I was being nice to avoid such a thing, but she ruined it partly because she stormed off. So it stands at that for the moment. ..............~END~
