38.

"Why are we running from Michael?" Beverly said out of breath. We just ran from Michael. He found us on the side of the road.

"Because he is the main problem of this situation. He's the reason why we're on the news. We can't trust him anymore."

"So, instead of talking to him you set him up?"

"Our fingerprints are not on the drugs. So we can't go down like him."

"But we're on the run though."

"Doesn't matter anymore, I have a plan."

"Care to share?"

"After the police catch Michael, we're running away. Far away from this place."

"What about mama red?"

"Mama red can handle herself, whatever she is. I just hope she's okay & somewhere safe."

"Solange!"

We dumped down behind a bush. I heard his footsteps approaching the bush.

"Solange! I know your here somewhere. Please talk to me!" He plead.

Then, he walked away from the bush. I let out a deep sigh in relief. That was close, I thought we was gonna get caught.

"Solange, I think you should talk to him" Beverly said.

"What? Hell nah, Fuck him! I don't trust that bastard anymore."

"Just listen him out!"

"Where is this coming from?"

"I have a confession to make. But I just wanted you know that, I would never hurt you intentionally. Your my best friend & I love you to death."

My heart started pounding, I don't like where this is going. "What are you trying to say?"

"Me & Michael had an affair together."

Before I knew it, my hand went across her face like a slingshot. She held her face in shock. A couple of tears fell down her face. I even felt some fall down my face as well.

"Please tell me your lying."

She shook her head no "No, I'm not lying."

"You fucking whore! You slept with my boyfriend? How could you do that to me? What did I ever do to you that made you sleep with my boyfriend?"

"I was jealous of y'all. I was jealous because you was with him instead of me. I wanted him the day he saw you."

"What are you telling me? You wanted to be his girlfriend? So all this time you was encouraging me to date him, you were fucking him?"

"I'm sorry" She sobbed.

"You ain't sorry, for all I know you could've planned this whole thing. Were you the one that told the police about Michael's drop off?"

"No! I would never do that!"

"Your lying!" I shouted. I didn't care if anyone heard me. I was furious as hell.

"I'm not, I'm swear! Solange I would never do that to you!"

"I can't believe you! I hope the police catch your ass & throw you in the hole."

I stood up & ran off. I didn't know where I was going. I was passing by trees & crying. I can't believe Beverly would do that to me. My own best friend? She betrayed me. I thought I could trust her. I stopped by a tree & leaned against it. I continued to sob in my hands. This can't be happening to me. I wish my mother was here with me. I wish none of this happened.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped up to see Michael standing over me.

"Solange, I won't hurt you."

I looked on the ground, a piece of log was laying in the dirt. I quickly picked it up. "Stay back, I have a weapon."

"Baby, I would never hurt you in any type of way."

"Well you did, you slept with Beverly!"

"I know and i'm sorry. She was a mistake & it shouldn't never happened."

"Fuck your apology, what kind of boyfriend are you?"

"A terrible one."

"You made me a promise. You said I wouldn't get caught, you promised."

"I did promised you & I broke it. I will do anything to make it up to you" He started walking towards me.

I swung the log at him nearly hitting him in the face. He grabbed the log from me & pulled me to him.

"Let go of me!"

He threw the log on the ground & pushed me against the tree.

"Listen to me, I know this whole situation is fucked up. And I blame myself for this. I should've never put you in the game like this. When I first saw you, I wanted you. I wanted you to be mines forever. I love you, Solange."

"You don't love me."

"I do" He reached into his pocket & pulled out a black box. He got on his knee & opened the box.

"Will you marry me, Solange?"

I covered my mouth, is this happening now? It's like all the bad things that happened flew out the window. Did he just ask me to marry him? I knew my day was coming but I didn't know it was now. What do I say?

"Hands up! You are under arrest!"

The police! They found us! Michael's eyes were desperate & hopeful. He needs an answer.

"Yes! Yes, I will marry you."

He smiled & put the ring on my finger. We kissed like it was no tomorrow. A kiss that is probably our last. I won't be seeing him anymore.

"Go, before they come" He whispered.

"Come with me."

"No! You go, i'll be fine."

"I can't leave without you."

"Solange, I love you. When I get out, we'll be together again."

"Michael."

I heard dozens of footsteps running through the woods. I gave him one last kiss. "Bye Michael."

"No goodbye, until next time. My keys are in the car, take it."

The footsteps are coming closer. I quickly hugged him, inhaling his sweet smell. I ran away as I heard the police arresting him. The tears ran down my face like a waterfall. I couldn't see properly. I wiped away the tears trying to contain my vision. I made it to the car just in time. No cop cars near in sight. They must've parked on the side of the woods. I got in the car & started the engine.

Am i really leaving Michael behind? I should've drugged him to the car instead of leaving him behind. I looked at the ring on my finger. I'm going to be Mrs. Jackson. This is my life.
