I am in need to change some of the story, as requested by my ex.
First, I divulge what she saw most important for me to change: She never dated Sonny. They are just acquaintances. Now... on to the rest of my "enlightenment" on the situation.
She did, however date Gavin. Gavin is a close relative to Sonny. Gavin was, and is again, a convict. Before they met, he paid his time for burglary. And, after Cassie's house was burgled by him and his relative Little John (sound familiar?), she pressed charges, and he was found guilty for the stealing of some 800 dollars from her home. Little John is still free because there was no way to prove he was in on the deal.
To take a step back... My son Dante was being watched by Gavin and Sonny... by themselves. And, on one occasion (I just now have been informed) they duct taped his hands and legs together "in play." Sonny has been taken to trial for some kind of crime, not for sure what, he was found guilty, and bailed out by his family. He never checked in with the bonds person, so his family is stuck with that now, and he still roams free. So, my son was being watched by an ex-convict and a fugitive of the law. Always happy to hear that. Cassie finds this perfectly acceptable, but leaving him alone with Jessica, who has no criminal record, has worked in a day care, and doesn't drink or smoke; is unacceptable. Allow me to move on.
Sonny is running from the law, and his "job" is "hustling." He has cut all his ties with his family, and has no real residence to speak of. So, Cassie being the super-nice person she is... allows him to stay in her apartment from time to time. She give him a place to sleep, shower, wash his clothes, etc. And on a few occasions, lends him her car. But do not fret, he always tells her when he's carrying knives, and he leaves his drugs outside - he's very respectful. She has not given him a house key though, that would be crazy on her part. She just trusts him to lock the doors when he leaves, and to not take anything from her, etc.
Now, onto the incident itself: Sonny had been staying at her apartment. She comes home from picking up Dante, and he's there, nothing out of the ordinary, right? Well, he left the front door unlocked, and her screen door was open. In the open door was Little John. She is unhappy about the door situation. Next, she notices her laptop is not in the apartment. So she asks Sonny where her laptop is - Dante goes upstairs to look for it like a good boy. She stops pacing and talking about the laptop and looks at Sonny. This is the moment where he punches her in the left eye, knocking her back about 2 feet. She collapses in the corner of her couches, screaming. He stands above her, wailing away as she screams. We assume he also kicks her due to the bruised ribs and upper thigh. All the while, he's saying he didn't take the laptop. All Cassie can do is feel her face swell up and the pool of blood form in front of her. For whatever reason, he stops. Dante is screaming and balling at the sight of his mom. Cassie reaches for the phone to dial 911. Sonny says, "you're not calling the cops are you?" Dumb question, I know, but considering the source, I'm surprised he can spit out multi-syllabic words.
Nothing else happens, Sonny and Little John take their leave. Come to find out, they go to the complex right behind hers and stay at their friend Erica's apartment. Coincidentally, that's where the laptop showed up at - slightly damaged.
From here, the usual takes place, police show up, ambulance shows up, ride to the hospital (Cassie chose the police car ride, since there's no charge like an ambulance would have) and Dante goes to my parent's house.
Additional info I find interesting:
Cassie would understand the situation if they were dating and she got on his last nerve.
Cassie says Sonny says he would only beat someone up (male or female) if he is "disrespected." This lead me to believe he has beaten more people up based on his highly educated ideology on respect.
Cassie was worried that she would bleed on her new 1200 dollar couch, and the price of the ambulance ride. Very materialistic? Too much value on the dollar - which is an abstract concept to begin with. Aristotle believed collecting money to collect money is the most unnatural thing a person can do.
She's working with a Bounty hunter (who lives 20 minutes away) to catch Sonny by "trapping" him at her apartment. Last time he was sighted, his phone was off. Police were not called though.
Cassie is soo concerned about Jessica to the point she doesn't want to even acknowledge she's real. But, I'm sure I will get hell over criticizing her choice in partners and who she associates with. So much so that she doesn't even want Jessica to be in the car when I pick up Dante for my weekends. She can't be in the car with me to get my son, but, my son can be left alone with an excon and a fugitive... both of which ended up doing horrible things to her and him. It's pretty messed up to steal a kid's GameCube!
So, my good blog readers, what am I to do?
