SHARRA KICKS BETHANY AFTER SHE STOPS HER FROM ASKING LARRY FOR BUSINESS MONEY!
ONE KICK THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING!
What was supposed to be a simple conversation about business money quickly turned into a shocking family confrontation. Sharra arrived at Larry’s house hoping to get the financial support she desperately needed to keep her business partnership with Dre alive. But she never expected Bethany to stand in her way. When Bethany refused to let her ask Larry for money, Sharra completely lost control and did something nobody in the room could believe. One sudden kick sent Bethany crashing to the floor, leaving Larry furious and Sharra defending her actions. But the biggest betrayal was yet to come. Larry promised Sharra the money just to get her out of the house, while secretly planning never to give her a single dollar.
THE STORY
A Business in Trouble
The afternoon was already stressful for Sharra. She sat in her car outside Larry’s house, staring at her phone. A message from Dre was still waiting for a response.
Their business venture had started with excitement and big expectations. Both of them believed they could turn their idea into something successful. However, things had recently become difficult. Expenses were increasing, payments were coming due, and the money they had originally planned to use was almost gone.
Sharra knew that without additional financial support, the entire project could fall apart.
DRE: We need to figure something out soon. We cannot keep delaying everything. The business needs more money if we’re going to move forward.
SHARRA: I’m working on it. Give me a little time. I’ll figure something out.
Sharra knew exactly where she wanted to go for help: Larry. She believed he had enough financial resources to help her through this difficult period. But she also knew Bethany might create a problem.
Still, Sharra decided that she wasn’t going to allow anyone to stop her. She opened the car door, stepped outside, and walked toward the house. She was determined to leave with an answer.
Bethany Refuses to Help
Inside the house, Larry was sitting in the living room when Sharra walked through the door. Bethany was nearby, enjoying a quiet afternoon. She looked up when she noticed Sharra entering.
LARRY: Sharra? What brings you over here?
SHARRA: I need to talk to you about something important.
LARRY: Okay. What’s going on?
Sharra walked closer and placed her handbag on the nearby chair.
SHARRA: It’s about the business I’m working on with Dre. We’ve run into a little financial problem, and I need some help getting things back on track.
BETHANY: What kind of financial problem?
SHARRA: I’m talking to Larry. I didn’t come here to explain my business to everybody.
BETHANY: Well, if you’re coming here asking Larry for money, then I have every right to know what’s going on.
SHARRA: I’m not asking you for anything. I’m asking Larry.
Larry tried to keep the conversation peaceful. Before he could respond, Bethany interrupted.
BETHANY: Larry, don’t even think about giving her money. We have our own responsibilities.
SHARRA: You don’t get to decide what Larry does with his money!
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed. Larry could see that both women were becoming increasingly angry.
One Kick Changes Everything
Bethany stood up and moved closer to Sharra.
BETHANY: You need to understand something. Larry isn’t responsible for funding every business idea you come up with.
SHARRA: You always do this. Every time I try to get ahead, you have something negative to say.
BETHANY: Maybe because you keep expecting other people to solve your problems!
SHARRA: That’s not true. I’m trying to build something for myself.
BETHANY: Then figure it out without bringing your financial problems into this house.
Sharra’s expression changed. She was no longer interested in having a reasonable conversation.
SHARRA: You think you can control everything around here, don’t you?
BETHANY: I think you need to stop demanding money from people.
SHARRA: Watch how you talk to me!
BETHANY: Or what? You’re going to get angry because somebody finally told you no?
Those words pushed Sharra over the edge. In a sudden burst of anger, Sharra kicked Bethany. Bethany lost her balance and crashed onto the living room floor.
BETHANY: Oh my God! What is wrong with you?
LARRY: SHARRA! WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?
Larry immediately rushed toward Bethany to check on her.
BETHANY: She just kicked me! Did you see that?
LARRY: Are you out of your mind? You cannot come into this house and put your hands on somebody!
SHARRA: She needs to stop disrespecting me!
LARRY: That doesn’t give you the right to attack her!
The argument about business money had turned into something much more serious.
Larry Tries to Control the Situation
Larry helped Bethany get back into a comfortable position before turning his attention to Sharra.
LARRY: I want you to explain to me what is going on. Why would you do something like that?
SHARRA: Because she keeps getting in my way! I came here to talk to you, not fight with her.
LARRY: You didn’t just argue with her. You kicked her to the floor!
SHARRA: She started disrespecting me. She was trying to stop me from getting help.
BETHANY: Larry, are you seriously going to stand here and listen to this? She came into our house asking for money, and now she’s attacking me!
LARRY: Bethany, please. Let me handle this.
BETHANY: No, Larry. This is exactly why people keep getting away with things. Everybody just lets them do whatever they want.
SHARRA: I don’t need everybody against me. I just need the money I came here for.
Larry rubbed his forehead. He knew arguing with Sharra would not solve anything.
LARRY: We don’t have money sitting around that we can just give away. We have our own bills, responsibilities, and things we need to take care of.
SHARRA: That’s what you want me to believe?
LARRY: I’m telling you the truth.
Sharra explained that she had already made a promise to Dre. She couldn’t let the business fall apart. Larry realized that she wasn’t going to leave without hearing something that gave her hope.
Sharra Blames Bethany
Bethany was still upset about being kicked. She watched Sharra closely, unable to understand how someone could behave that way and still expect financial help.
BETHANY: You should be embarrassed. You came here asking for something, and when you didn’t get the answer you wanted, you became violent.
SHARRA: You need to stay out of my business.
BETHANY: You made it my business when you attacked me in my own house!
SHARRA: I wouldn’t have done anything if you hadn’t started running your mouth.
LARRY: Enough! Both of you need to stop.
Larry turned toward Sharra.
LARRY: I understand that you’re under pressure. I understand that you made a commitment to Dre. But you cannot expect everything to happen exactly the way you want.
SHARRA: I just expected you to support me.
LARRY: And I’m trying to explain what we can and cannot do.
SHARRA: I knew this was going to happen. Bethany doesn’t want you helping me because she thinks everything should revolve around her.
BETHANY: Don’t bring me into your financial problems!
LARRY: Sharra, that’s enough!
Larry took a deep breath before speaking again.
LARRY: Let me think about this. Maybe there’s something I can do.
SHARRA: So you’re saying you can help me?
Larry hesitated. He knew exactly what Sharra wanted to hear. But he also knew he didn’t want to give her the money.
Larry Makes a False Promise
Larry walked toward the other side of the living room and looked back at Sharra. His voice became calmer.
LARRY: Okay. Listen. I don’t want any more problems today. I’ll see what I can do about getting you the money.
SHARRA: Really?
LARRY: Yes. I’ll handle it. Just give me a little time.
SHARRA: Thank you. That’s all I wanted. I knew you would understand.
BETHANY: Larry, what are you saying?
LARRY: Bethany, not right now.
BETHANY: Are you seriously telling her you’re going to give her money after what she just did?
SHARRA: See? This is exactly what I’m talking about. She doesn’t want you helping me.
LARRY: Sharra, I said I would handle it. Now I need you to leave so everybody can calm down.
Sharra picked up her handbag, believing that Larry had finally agreed to help her.
SHARRA: Fine. I’ll let you take care of everything. Just don’t forget that I need that money soon.
LARRY: I won’t forget.
SHARRA: And maybe next time, you should learn when to stay out of somebody else’s business.
Sharra walked toward the door. Larry followed her and watched her leave. The front door closed behind her.
The Truth Larry Never Told Sharra
Larry returned to the living room. Bethany was sitting quietly, but her expression made it clear that she was still furious.
BETHANY: I cannot believe you just promised her money.
LARRY: I had to get her out of here.
BETHANY: What do you mean?
LARRY: Look at what just happened. She was already out of control. If I had continued telling her no, who knows what she would have done next?
BETHANY: So you lied to her?
Larry sat down and let out a long breath.
LARRY: I told her what she needed to hear so she would leave.
BETHANY: Are you actually planning to give her the money?
LARRY: No.
Bethany looked surprised.
BETHANY: Then why would you make that promise?
LARRY: Because I wasn’t going to let that argument continue. We don’t have money to hand over to her, and after what she just did, I’m certainly not going to reward that behavior.
BETHANY: She physically attacked me. She kicked me to the floor. And somehow she still walked out of here thinking she’s getting exactly what she wanted.
LARRY: I know. But I needed the situation to end.
BETHANY: Well, what happens when she calls you tomorrow expecting that money?
LARRY: I’ll deal with that when it happens.
Larry knew Bethany had a point. Sharra had left the house believing she had secured financial support. But Larry had no intention of following through.
Sharra Makes Another Promise to Dre
Meanwhile, Sharra was driving home. For the first time that afternoon, she seemed relaxed. She believed the hardest part was finally over.
She picked up her phone and called Dre.
DRE: Hey. What’s happening? Did you manage to get the money?
SHARRA: I talked to Larry. He said he’s going to help us.
DRE: Are you serious? That’s good news.
SHARRA: Yes. I knew I could count on him. He just needs a little time to arrange everything.
DRE: That’s a relief. I was starting to think we were going to have to put the whole thing on hold.
SHARRA: Don’t worry. We’re not giving up now. I’ve already promised you that we’re going to make this business work.
DRE: I appreciate that. Just keep me updated because we have some important things coming up.
SHARRA: I will. Once the money comes through, we can move forward.
Dre thanked her before ending the call. Sharra smiled. She believed she had solved the biggest problem standing between her and the business.
But she didn’t know what Larry had said after she left. Most importantly, she didn’t know that the promise she was depending on was never real.
Bethany Wants Answers
Back at Larry’s house, Bethany was still thinking about the confrontation. Larry brought her a glass of water and placed it on the table.
LARRY: Are you feeling okay?
BETHANY: I’m fine, but I’m not okay with what happened.
LARRY: I understand.
BETHANY: No, Larry. I don’t think you do. She came into this house, disrespected me, kicked me, and then left expecting you to give her money.
LARRY: I know she crossed the line.
BETHANY: Then why are we even discussing helping her?
LARRY: We’re not helping her. I already told you that.
BETHANY: Then you need to make sure she understands that. I don’t want her coming back here expecting money.
LARRY: I’ll talk to her.
Bethany shook her head. She knew another confrontation could make things even worse.
Sharra had made a promise to Dre based on money that didn’t exist. When the truth finally came out, the consequences could affect more than just her relationship with Larry.
The Phone Call That Could Change Everything
Later that evening, Larry was sitting alone when his phone began ringing. He looked at the screen. It was Sharra.
He stared at the incoming call for several seconds before answering.
LARRY: Hello?
SHARRA: Hey, Larry. I just wanted to check in about the money.
Larry closed his eyes briefly. He had expected this call, but he hadn’t expected it so soon.
