"Say it aint so"

The mysterious phone number that April's cell had recognized,  was in fact from... Tori.
Terrance & Tori...  had been having an affair for years. Time went on... & her feelings for him grew stronger.
At first she was OK with being number two. Tori found comfort in knowing that he was going home at night.
"Hell"... " why should I care"??? She would often say to herself. Tori liked it better this way... she felt like, Terrance would have no way of fucking up her other plans, if she knew he was somewhere being accounted for. She didn't mind those little hoe dates. Spontaneously giving him knowledge on the side of the road, as he pretended to pull her over. It turned her on.
Sneaking off with "Tee" as she called him at numerous family gatherings ; get togethers. She slowly began to crave being invited into this married man's bed.
Purposely leaving her scent on those red silk sheets did something for her.
Don't get it twisted... cause men engage in this kind of infidelity too, but after 5 years, she was tired of being his secret. Tired if believing all of his lies. Tired of him standing her up now.
Women kill me with that one...
As many times as Tori had listened to April cry about Terrance being unfaithful. She just had to see for herself.  Maybe she thought her pussy was better? Before you think like this dumb hoe here... know this... PUSSY AIN'T GOT NO FACE!!!
And as long as a body is willing... somebody is able. That goes for both men & women. You don't fuck up anything, that you value keeping.  What's so different about your pussy that you think will change a man?
When y'all first met... he had you riding in his wife's car. Don't be surprised when he has someone in yours. Stop setting yourselves up for failure.

"WHAT ABOUT MY FEELINGS"

Terrance was use to women flocking to him. He kept himself well dressed, and well groomed. Those full lips of his went perfectly with his neatly trimmed gotee. His bedroom eyes melted hoes on a daily.
"This is exactly why I keep my phone on silent ". " I should have never gave this hoe my Maine number ".
Things were really getting out of hand now.
Terrance began to wonder...  why it was that... in the beginning,  Tori played by all of the rules, and now... all of that seemed to have flown right out of the window???
He thought that all of the cards had been played out on the table. He had never promised to leave his wife for her.
What the fuck was her problem???

         "BACK TO THAT NIGHT"

Terrance knew that he had really fucked up this time. There was no talking his way out of things this time. There was no room to flip the situation on April as he usually did.

" After all of these years"...
"Her"???
April shouted as loud as she could,  Damn near losing her breath.
He expected all of this & some, but this time something was different. Instead of allowing him to explain himself as she use to. She just sat there motionless in silence.
Terrace reaches for his wife's arm. She snatches it away, with this stone cold look in her eyes, and heads towards the basement.
Once she's down there... she stands staring blankly at the folding table.

"April please talk to me"... he pleads.
Still no words found her lips.
Terrance then grabs his wife,  and held her as tight as he could.
She struggles to get free, only to go sit on the couch they had placed down stairs in the family room.
Terrance kneels down before her, the same way he had done on the night of their prom, when he asked for her hand in marriage.
He produced fake tears to match what he displayed as remorse.
When he noticed that she still wasn't falling for it, he snapped.
"You know what"...
He says... pacing back & fowards, holding the sides of his head.
"All of this shit is your fault"...
"If you focused on keeping your man Happy"... " we wouldn't be going through this shit"...
His loud shouting & carrying on woke up both of the children.
It was now 3:46 a.m. There was supposed to be no way in hell, those babies should have witnessed what they saw next.
Terrance had left the room, mumbling something underneath his breath. While April sat there on the couch attempting to calm the babies down.
By the time  he came back in the basement,
His whole demeanor had changed.
He was no longer that handsome man whom, all of the ladies loved.
Thick beads of sweat now covered his body. His broad chest no longer stood out in confidence.  He wasn't so proud of his famous smile.

He looks his wife in her eyes as he, placed his all black police edition 9mml to his own head.
" Is this what the fuck you want April "???
This time asking with real tears in his eyes.
"Babe I can't"... "I refuse to live without you".
April's looked up, & her eyes grew wide, yet she still remained silent.
She quickly placed the babies on the couch & motions to grab the gun from her husband's hands.
"Terrance "... "Please dont do this in front of the  babies "... she shouts.
Some how they both ended up on the basement floor,  tussling over the weapon.
Next thing you know... a single shot goes off.... it was like the world stood still for two seconds.
A large puddle of blood began to form around the couple.
But whose blood was it???
Terrance had accidentally shot his first love in the chest...
He held April's lifeless body and cried rocking back & fowards.

"Oh my God"... "Babe"... " Nooo "
"Babe please get up"...

Both of the children were right there watching the whole time.  Screaming & hollering. Not knowing that this would be the last time that they would ever see their mother alive.
April was now laying on her stomach, on the floor with her eyes still wide open, facing her babies.
Terrance still could not believe what he had just done. No one would ever believe that this was an accident. He just wanted to scare her.
But it was much too late for all of that now. He softly kissed the love of his life on her forehead, then he whispered in her ear... "I'm sorry "... "I love you".
Terrance stood up & grabbed his son & daughter, one in each arm. He took them both upstairs to their bedroom, and tucked them in as he usually would.
He prayed over his children,  and kissed them both good night.
When he left the kids room, he actually went & took a shower.
After he was done...  he went outside to sit in his car, that was parked in the drive way.
Terrance said another prayer, before closing his both eye's, a putting the last bullet in his own head.
That's real fucked up...
Two children left without parents...
Was it all that serious???
Senseless murders happen everyday...
If you are in a relationship,  and your unhappy,  either reconcile... or just leave.
"Life is way too short"... "to be anything else but" " Happy"!!!
