Song for this chapter:Lori perry~up against the wind.

"What are you going to get?" Sky asked me as she scanned through the book of tattoo ideas.

"It's a surprise." I cheesed as the tattoo man began to set up in my living room.

She tossed a jelly bean at my head chucking.

"How does it feel to be back man?" Diggy questioned as Jim began to clean the area on my arm before he began my tattoo

"It does actually." I admitted. "If I had to lay in that bed for one more day I'd surely go crazy."

"Man I cannot begin to apologize enough, but trust me. They got what they had coming to them." Prod assured me.

I waved it off. "Im done with the whole situation. Infact let's not even talk about it anymore." I said.

"Whatever you say boss." Princeton teased before turning on the radio.

All too soon Jim wiped over my tattoo notifying me that it was done. The feeling of the needle hitting against my skin was truly addicting.

"Ooo let me see." Sky said eager hopping up from the couch. 'Our love is forever' it read.

"This isn't for Morgan is it?"she questioned.

"Of course it is." I chuckled. "It's kind of our thing." I shrugged.

"Oh my god." Sky breathed out.

"What too mushy?" I asked her.

"Chres there's something I have to tell you... I should have spoke up sooner." She choked out.

My eyebrows furrowed together in confusion as I stared at her.

"Do you want to go talk someplace else?" She asked.

"Just say it." I spat becoming annoying

She let out a deep breath. "Morgan and my brother have some type of thing going on." She spat out causing my heart to stop. "It's been going on for weeks, I know they have kissed a lot. I'm just not sure how far they've took it." She informed me. "I'm so sorry, I should have been told you. " she choked out.

I stood there speechless. The words coming from her mouth couldn't possibly be true... There had to be some kind of mistake.

"Oh hell no." Princeton exclaimed.

"I knew something was up." Diggy pointed out.

"It's a wrap. Dead that bitch Chres, she gotta go." Prod said shaking his head.

"Oh come on." Sky whined. "Morgan loves Him and we all know that." Sky reminded us. "She only made a mistake."

"Nah fuck that." Prod spat. "And excuse my language but ya brother grimy as fuck. I'll split his shit." Prod assured her.

"Shut up." I shouted causing the ruckus to come to an halt. "Everybody get out." I said.

"What?" Ej questioned.

"You heard what the fuck I said. Beat it." I spat.

As they all began to leave the house sky stopped in front of me a look of sympathy on her face. "I'm so sorry." She cried out.

As soon as the door shut I plopped down onto the couch trying too make the pain in my heart stop.

"Chres baby I'm home." I called out not having the slightest clue as to what I was walking into.

The house sat still as I walked up the stairs.

I opened our bedroom door to see Chres in a chair infront of the fireplace.

"Baby?" I called out.

He spun around in the chair as he sipped from his bottle of 1800. It was nearly 3/4 gone.

"Chresanto." I breathed out as a bad feeling creeped up my spine.

"Is it true?" He asked finally talking.

"Is what true?" I asked hoping that it wasn't what I thought it was.

"You and the professor. Is it true?" He asked again causing my heart to drop to the pit of my stomach.

A croaked chuckle escaped his mouth as he took another swallow of the dark liquor.

"I should have known." He scoffed. "Here I am getting tattoos for you and shit while you out fucking around with another nigga." He spat.

I remained quiet.

"I made you bitch." He growled. "Look around, look at how you been living." He told me. "All of this is because of me." He reminded me. "I busted my ass for you!" He shouted throwing the glass bottle to the wall.

A whimper escaped my mouth as I watched him.

"When James broke you, I was there to pick up all of your pieces." He reminded me. "But now who is going to pick up mine?" He questioned.

The tears streaming down my face couldn't be controlled as I watched the broken man before me.

"We're you even going to tell me?" He scoffed.

And again I remained silent.

"What made you do it?" He asked his tone softening a bit.

"It was just a mistake." I cried out. "I love you Chresanto, more than I love myself." I assured him.

"Shut up." He spat. "Don't ever open your mouth to tell me that lie again." He growled. "This ain't love." He assured me. "I'm done." He spat. "So fucking done." He repeated.

"Morgan?" Joanna questioned as she opened the door. "Oh my god." She breathed out once she saw me crying she embraced me into her arms. "What happened?" She asked me.

"Chres." Was all I was able to get out.

"What did he do to you?" She asked. "I'm going to kill him, literally." She told me.

I shook my head. "I broke his heart." I choked out as the pain in my chest grew.

I don't even care about my stupid cancer anymore, dying would be better than to have to live with this pain in my chest.
