They were watching walker texas ranger dowstairs, she was nine and she was with her grandma. She always used to get a kick out of her grandma singing the theme song, she couldn't wait to say the same line after every time they heard the theme song, " Grandma! You sing it so well."
..............................They lived in a pink Brooklyn house, It was an apartment house, she would go there on the weekends because her mom and dad divorced when she was very young and her dad still lived their with his parents. Also the upstairs part of the house was an apartment to her cousins and aunt and uncle. Her cousins were younger then her, one was a boy and the other a girl. She was closer to the girl, she was six. They boy was four.
................................................................ She notices that the chandelier started shaking profusely and heard loud banging noises from upstairs.
...........The girl- "Grandma, what they doin' upstairs."
...........Grandma- "I don't know, uhhh stay downstairs, I'll be right back."
Now they say you should listen to your elders when spoken too, but she was curious to know what was going on upstairs. Also only a half hour before she was playing with her cousins, so she was still very active.
.........................................Her Grandma was up there for awhile ( 2 minutes), so she decided to go up to see what was going on.
She ran down the hallway and quickly up the stairs.
The vision she saw still burns through her eyes.....
.................................................................................................... Her uncle(blood uncle) drunkely was standing up over her aunt. He was pulling her hair back and beating the living shit outta her(she had pawned a ring he got her.) The thing was she didn't really care what wa soging on with them. It was her cousins faces that she was mostly disturbed at.
The four year old was in the corner of the room, his hands covering his ears and tears running down his face. The six year old was on the total opposite of the room, she was sitting with her knees to her chest and her face was so white.....
There was nothing for grandma to do... She just ran to her cousins and grabbed them and brought them dowstairs. That night they had a sleepover.
.........................What I think about the most is, while we were watching walker texas ranger, what had set that fight off. What were they doing the before the moment they got into an absusive fight? Like what was going on in the cousins mind. This never got old.
