Between Us: A Spelivia Love Story

Ch. 25: Pain

Spencer James

9:45 p.m.

"Is everything good?" Spencer inquired on the phone. He had just arrived on the block of Chyna's home by foot. Spencer had been on the phone with a distant family friend on his mother's side.

"I'm good, Spencer" the family friend answered. "I had a hat on and was fully covered when I checked in as you. Spencer James is staying at the Marriot for two nights" he continued.

"Good" Spencer nodded his head. "I appreciate you for doin' this. We'll have to get together soon" he continued and hung up the phone.

 Spencer arrived at Chyna's home and noticed there was not a car parked in the driveway. From a distance, he could tell her front door had been cracked open. Spencer made sure he wasn't seen as he walked toward the side of her home. He peeked through her windows and noticed each room was pitch black except for the second bedroom. Spencer headed toward the window of the room and peeked inside.

His eyes grew wide when he'd seen Chyna tied up on the bed. His stomach turned in knots as he noticed her body was covered in bruises and blood. Chyna had seen Spencer out of the corner of her eye and made eye contact with me.

"Spencer! Help me!" she whispered-yelled and Spencer just stared at her.

"Why should I?" he questioned. "You're probably in on this too!" he yelled back at her and she shook her head 'no'.

"I can't believe you! You really think I would pull some shit like this?! That don't even sound like me, Spencer! We've had our differences but even this is extreme!" Chyna raised her voice. "I moved out of South Central because of this bullshit! For our daughter! We have a daughter together, I wouldn't do this shit to you!" she continued with tears in her eyes.

Spencer heaved a big sigh. He wasn't sure what to believe.

"I swear to God if you're lyin' to me, I'll kill your ass. Angel will have to grow up without her mother and you wouldn't want that, right?" he said through gritted teeth and she frowned. "Yeah I said that shit and you can believe it too" he opened the window to the room and let himself in.

Spencer untied her from the bed and watched as she put the rest of her clothes on. He shook his head at her as he wandered how she even get involved in this.

"You and Jay?" Spencer inquired and Chyna stared at him. "You've been messin' with him for how long?" he questioned.

"Not until recently-"

"How recent?!" he cut her off. "And don't fuckin' lie to me" he said as he placed his hand on his gun. 

"...after Angel was conceived" she answered and he chuckled darkly. "I put an end to it when I found out I was pregnant" she continued.

"Did you ever think she was his?" Spencer inquired and she nodded. 

"I knew she wasn't as soon as she came out of the womb" she admitted. "I didn't speak to him throughout my entire pregnancy. After Angel was born we built an emotional connection-"

"Is that what all of this is about? He found out you had my child and now he wants me dead?" He questioned and she shook her head.

"Spencer, I don't know why he wants you dead. I swear I didn't even know none of this shit until today" she said. "He told me he wanted to mend your friendship because you meant a lot to him. He wanted to be involved in both of our lives and Angel. I believed him like that idiot I am. So after you told me Mr. A would be with Angel at your event today, that's how he knew where you were. He came back here visibly upset and took his anger out on me" she admitted and he shook his head in disgust.
