My Desires

Chapter 24- In Denial (re-edit)

Allison's POV

My eyes opened and I took in my surroundings.

"Hey." Nia spoke softly and my eyes met her.

I've never heard her spoke so soft.

"What happened?" I asked trying to sit up but failed miserably when my stomach pained me.

"That's a story for another time." She grabs my hand. "Right now I'm just glad you're okay."

"Where is everyone?" I asked and held my stomach.

"Yuh parents gawn a work. Jerome and Jordan outside." Nia tells me.

She didn't say the one name I wanted to hear.

"He didn't come back." She didn't have to say it for me to know.

"He had something with his father..."

Of course he did.

What else did I expect?

He left me it's not like he'd come back just because I was shot.

"Hey. Why yaah cry? You're alive." Nia asks and I wiped my face.

I hadn't even realize I was crying until she pointed it out.

"I'm trying so hard to just get over him and not care but I can't ignore the pain anymore." I sniffled.

I expected him to at least explain what happened but not even that he could do.

"I hate that I'm wasting my tears on him. How did I let this happen to me?"

Nia hugged me as I cried on her shoulder.

"It's ok. Yaah go find smaddy else way better than Chucky weh aguh mek yuh feel better than how yuh feel wid him." Nia reassures.

That's the thing.

I don't think anyone can make me feel the way I felt with Enzo.

My heart shatters.

Why does it hurt so much?

Scissors POV

I stood and watched through the blinds as my sister cried.

Bawl ova Chucky.

I felt sorry for her. But it's for the better.

It's best if Chucky just believe seh she dead.

It's good if they stay apart. And mi go continue fi keep dem apart as long as possible.

I love my sister and mi ratings tall fi Enzo.

But she doesn't deserve any of this.

It's for Ally's own safety and happiness and it's for Chucky's own safety and focus.

He doesn't need a distraction. Or to make reckless decisions when it comes to her.

All I have to do is keep them apart.

Enzo's POV

My father is going to prison.

Allison is dead.

Mi life couldn't be much more of a joke to rassclaat.

I was finally ready to accept the consequences and protect her with my life just so we can be together.

But it's too late.

She's gone.

She fucking dead.

I fist the wall of my air BNB.
