Misty: rubbing Charmaine back) just give him some time. He's hurting and you're hurting, y'all not thinking straight right now
Charmaine: he hasn't been home Misty. We have not talked since. I need him by my side and he's blaming me for our baby's death.
Misty: bestie, trust me. Y'all are made for each other and this is just a bump in the road. Give it some time and it will work itself out
Charmaine:(wipes her tears) I appreciate you, but you got your own life to worry about. You ain't gotta be out here with me stressing yourself
Misty: you my best friend before anything. I'm gone always make sure you're good
Charmaine:sniffs) I'm good I promise. Imma sit out here a little longer. I just need some air.
Misty: okay, just let me know when you ready to go
Charmaine: nods) okay
Oliver pov: I picked the ring up of the floor and walked out the church to find Charmaine . I can't let this be the end of us. I love that woman to death and I know I'm hurting right now but she's hurting even more. She had to carry him, she felt the pain of him leaving her body. I should've been there for her. Instead I blamed her and it's not her fault. She's been off drugs for years now and even if that played a factor in it, I still didn't need to throw that in her face.
(Oliver sits next to Charmaine and pulls her into a hug)
Oliver: I'm so sorry baby, I swear I am.
Charmaine:(starts crying again) I need you Oliver, I can't do this by myself. It hurts so bad
Oliver: I know, I'm hurting to. We going get through this together I promise we will. (Wiping her tears ) we finna go home right now and Imma take care of you ,okay?
Charmaine:okay
Oliver pov; we walked to my car and I drove us home. When we got home I made sure I texted my mama letting her know we were home and then I turned my phone off. Charmaine went and got in the hot tub and i joined her after a little while. She laid back onto my chest and closed her eyes. I held her close and planted soft kisses in her cheek. Man this is tough on the both of us.
Oliver: we gone get through this baby I promise. I got you for sure
Charmaine: you had me so worry, why did you leave ?
Oliver:(sighs) I ain't good with showing emotions you know that
Charmaine:( turns around facing him) and I'm about to be your wife. You should feel comfortable crying in front of me and anything else. I would never judge you
Oliver: I know I know, I'm sorry I'll do better
Charmaine: promise?
Oliver: I promise(kisses her)
