finding the trust.

* Darnella's P.O.V *

I sat there with the twins waiting & wondering if Nena was safe.

I still haven't heard from her & every time I call, the phone goes straight to voicemail. The twins & I didn't know what to do because we were all completely lost.

"Nell, she's gonna be straight." Malieah said. I picked up the phone & dailed 911 to make a police report. As soon as I dailed the numbers Nena walked in with Sean...

"Oh my god what the fuck happened to you?" I didn't know rather to be pissed or to be glad that she's okay. "Babe, I'm fine. Hey twins." They stared at her. "Hello Nena. We're glad you're okay."

I went into the bathroom & turned on the shower. She stumbled in behind me & fell on her knees.

"You didn't leave Darnella...." I helped her into the tub. "Why would I leave? I have no reason too." She cleaned her body as I left the bathroom.

"Hey Nella." Sean started rubbing my belly. Slowly embracing the touch of my skin. My babies didn't move, kick or do anything. "Hey Sean. Thanks for helping Nena." He stopped. "No problem. I watched it all go down & I knew you would be home freaking out behind her."

He was right, I was only 6 months pregnant & stress was the last thing I needed. "Yeah, you know how I worry." We both laughed. "I'm gonna go home & get cleaned up, if you need anything call me." I nodded & gave him a hug. "Will do. See you later."

"I'm hungry twins. Y'all wanna go out?"
"Hell yeah."

Nena was finished with her shower, I told her to get in bed & get some rest. We left the house & went to Papa John's.

When we got to Papa's we took our seats & ordered or drinks.

"I'll have a Mr. Pibb please." I said to our server. "I'll have the same but easy on the ice." Alieah said. "And I'll have a Sprite with no ice." Malieah said.

"So twins.... What's the relationship statuses?" They looked at each other then looked at me. "Malieah & I aren't dating." I stared at them. "Why? Y'all is too pretty to be single."

"We really haven't been anywhere to meet anyone."
"Why not go out tonight then?"
"That's a good idea. Club Epic is reopening tonight."

The pizza & the wings finally came. I ordered Sausage cheese crust pizza & some honey BBQ boneless wings. Alieah & Malieah ordered the spicy wings & just a sausage pizza.

After we ate all our food Malieah offered to pay for everyone's meals. We got into the car & left back to my house.

The twins dropped me off & I headed inside to check on Nena. "Baby, are you okay?" She looked up at me & smiled. "I am, now that your home." I kissed her on her forehead & got into bed with her.

"Don't ever scare me like that again Nena." She placed me into her arms. "I promise I'll be strapped next time." I laughed. "Baby, you should of been strapped a long time ago."

She laughed, "Im strapped with something else." She started smirking, man I knew where this was going.

"Let's go shower." She pulled me by my hands & lead me to the bathroom. "Let's take these clothes off, there covering your beautiful body." She pulled my shirt over my head & slid my leggings down onto the floor. "What's these marks on your legs?" I pulled my pants up & ran to the room. "Darnella Da'Shaye Kell! Wtf are you doing to yourself?!"

I forgot that I started back cutting myself.... It was only because of fear, depression & anxiety. "Da'Shaye!! Fucking answer me! I'm not talking to myself or the twins!" I started to cry.... really hard. "I'm.... I'm.... sorry...." The tears started flowing onto the bed. "I swear to God if you hurt those babies I will fuck you up Da'Shaye!"

"Please... I.... I...."

"Shut up. Now!"

"Please don't be mad at me. I was scared of you leaving me again."

"Darnella, why would you do this? I told you I was staying for good this time. Does Sean know about this?" I wiped my tears away & said no.

"Call him right now!"

I dailed the number & gave her the phone. "Hello, Sean? What's up man? Well, I called to tell you that Darnella's been cutting herself...... Yeah..... No, I don't think she hurt the twins...... I'll take her right now...... Alright, see you in a few...."

"Let's go." I grabbed my shoes & followed Nena out the door.

We got into the Range Rover & headed downtown. "Where are we going?" She looked at me & rolled her eyes. "Just sit back & ride."

"Nena, where are we going?"

"I told you to sit back & ride."

Where were we going? Nena & I was just about to make love when she saw my cuts.... I think she's pissed right about now & honestly she has every reason to be. I shouldn't had been cutting in the first place.

We arrived at some bar twenty minutes later... it seemed like we were driving forever.

"What you doing? We not getting out."

"But I'm hungry baby."

"Sit right here until ya baby's father gets here. Ight."

I started to feel some weird pains in my stomach. A pain that my babies wasn't making. "Nena take me to the hospital! NOW!" She stared at me. "Wtf is going on?!"

"Just take me to the damn hospital!"

Nena hopped in the truck & we was flying down the freeway. I laid my head back & rubbed my belly hoping that everything would be okay.

"Sean..... We going to the hospital...... Something wrong with Nella..... Bet just meet us there."
