Between Us: A Spelivia Love Story

Ch. 24: Make it Home Safe

Spencer James

"Something...something is off about this" Spencer said as he hung up the phone. "I don't think Chyna's dead not from an overdose" he looked over at Olivia.

"Do you really think Jay would lie to you about something like that?" she inquired. "I mean he sounded pretty distraught. Chyna was a user at some point, Spencer. There's a possibility she could've relapsed" Olivia crossed her arms.

"I don't think she overdosed, she's been clean since before Angel was conceived. She wouldn't do that to our daughter" Spencer said as he put his shirt back on.

"If she didn't die from an overdose, do you think she was killed?" Olivia questioned and Spencer shook his head.

"Them niggas know women and children are off limits, they know not to mess with my baby moms and daughter" he said as he put the first aid kit under the sink. "They know not to touch you either, I'll set off a war on they asses. That time one of them showed up at your dorm, they knew I was with you" he revealed and Olivia shook her head in disbelief.

"I just don't get it..." Olivia heaved a big sigh. "Unless Jay is just saying this to throw you off. I mean maybe he's in on all of this. He knows they didn't finish the job in the parking lot, from what you told me. So what's next?" she continued.

"I give in to Jay's obvious trap" Spencer lightly chuckled. "He knows they didn't get me in the parking lot, he knew they didn't get me at the crib. What's next? He tells me my baby moms is dead to get me to fold" he shook his head.

"Okay...and what does this mean? What do you mean you're giving in to the trap?" Olivia inquired with concern in her eyes.

"I'm goin' to Chyna's crib" He said as he stuffed his phone in his back pocket. "Them niggas want me dead so bad, they can come get me" he said as he walked out of the bathroom.

"You're being ridiculous" Olivia followed behind him. "Spencer, this is crazy! You can't just give in to them?!" she said as she grabbed his arm.

"You just have to trust me, okay?" he said turning to face her.

"What do you expect me to do in the meantime?" she crossed her arms.

"I need you to go home" He said as he continued to walk in the living room.

"Spencer, I can't just sit at home" Olivia followed him into the living room. "I can't just sit around and hope that the man I love will make it home safely. I want to help you" she said as she felt her eyes start to water.

"Olivia, you are helpin' me by goin' home" he said as he stared at her. "I will call you when I get a chance, aight? I just need you to go home...please" he begged as he felt his throat close up.

"Fine..." she blinked her tears away. "I'll go home" Olivia nodded as she grabbed her belongings.

"Mr. A" Spencer called and he stood up from the couch.

"What you need from me, Spencer?" Mr. A inquired as he held Angel in his arms.

"I need you to take Olivia home...not to her dorm, but home with her mother and brother" he instructed as Mr. A nodded. "I need you and Angel to go to the air bnb rental in Malibu. No one knows of that location except for the three of us. You and Angel will be safest there" he continued.

"Spencer-"

"You both need to leave your cellphones here. There are two flip phones in your glove compartment. Just call me from there if you need anything" he cut Mr. A off.

"You really have this planned out" Olivia said and Spencer just stared at her.

"I plan to be in Malibu by midnight. If I don't arrive by two, I need you to assume that I'm dead" Spencer said and Mr. A frowned. "Let's presume Chyna is deceased, Angel will go to Chyna's next to kin" he explained. Spencer seen the looks on both of their faces and frowned.

"I don't need you both to get upset right now, I've already accepted that death is my fate in this shit. You both will go back to the lives you've had before me if I'm dead tonight" Spencer continued and Olivia shook her head.

"I can't do that" Olivia said as she stepped closer to him. "How do you expect me to just forget you? Forget the love we have for one another? For the short amount of time we've known each other, you've played such an influential part in my life, Spencer. That shit doesn't just go away" she said as felt her eyes water again.

"And you're right...the shit don't go away" Spencer said as he stepped closer to her. "The love won't die, it'll just grow into something different" he said and she shook her head.

"Spencer-"

"You...you both need to leave" Spencer asserted. He reached for Angel and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you so much, baby girl" he whispered to her and she smiled at him.

"I love all of you" He said as he stared at both Olivia and Mr. A. "Really..." he said as he locked eyes with Olivia.

"We should get goin' then" Mr. A suggested as he grabbed Angel's baby bag. "Spencer...please make it home safe. Liv we'll be waitin' in the car" he said as he carefully grabbed Angel from Spencer.

"Okay..." Olivia said as she watched him walk out of his home. Spencer stepped closer to Olivia and reached for her hand.

"I know the shit is scary, but I'm just preparin' you for the worst" he said. "I know I said I've accepted death with this shit, but I'm not leavin' tonight. You three are the reason I don't want to leave just yet. Somebody has to die tonight, Olivia. But it ain't gon' be me, you can believe that" he continued and squeezed her hand. 

"I better hear from you tonight, Spencer James" Olivia weakly smiled as she placed her hands on his face. "I'm not playing with you" she lightly chuckled through her tears.

"You have my word" He said as he wiped her tears away.
